Animal migration

I must admit, I am not a person looks for wildlife when out in the countryside. I enjoy more the peacefulness of the area, the breathtaking views and perception of perfectness. However, wildlife from birds to mammals are an added bonus that make the area more alive.

I came across these pictues of animal migration in South Sudan that rivals the Serengeti one. It has been claimed as a newly dicovered natural wonder





Impressive isnt'it?

Monitoring our extinction

A thought provoking quote I have just read on The Guardian:

[Unless we stop talking and begin to act about climate change], "we risk being the only species monitoring its own extinction rather than acting against it"

Caroline Lucas, Green member of the European parliament.

Businesses accused of green hypocrisy.

It is OVER!!

At least officially, I have finished my first year MSc Integrated Resource Management (MIRM). Today was the big exam. Big meaning 3hours fifteen minutes, covering all the stuff we did during the second semester. Subjects ranged from co-management techniques in the Himalayan or Uluru National Parks, to International Treaties, to biodiversity conservation and stakeholder involvement.

Insomma, hafna x naghmel! (lots of things to do) as we say here in Malta.

So why officially? Well I still have a couple of assignments to finish off by mid-June. In the meantime I must also start thinking seriously about my thesis. I must admit that I do not have any clue!! And I must do some serious work on it, since this will be a major piece of work that will occupy most of my free time during the coming year.

But till I start thinking and going back to pre-MIRM life (work and play), I shall enjoy this weekend. Let's get wasted! ;-)

Torrential Rain!

Just listen to!
Just look at it!
Just smell it!

Are we really in June?
Is this Malta?
Has St. George Preca decided to send the rain we have praid for the last months?

Incredible isn't it!

4th of June 2007, Mediterrean climate, rain as hell!
