Australia PM Abbott Wants To Destroy The Great Barrier Reef.
Please share this everywhere..
…. And so it has begun. After only 24 hours as prime minister, Tony Abbott has put the Marine Park Suspension into play, with dredging construction already underway to create Australia’s newest shipping highway, Abbott point, better known as the Great Barrier Reef.
Completely disregarding the World Heritage Classification or UNESCO protection, Rinehart is removing 3 MILLION cubic meters of the worlds most diverse largest living organism and ecosystem only to build the largest coal export terminal. We are going to lose one of the worlds most truly precious gems to a temporary and damaging “solution”.
The Great Barrier Reef will no longer exist because of Abbotts desire for CSG export income.
So please reblog and share this to show your support for saving natures gift to the world. Wake UP Australia, and spread the word.
#greatbarrierreef #marineconservation #savethegreatbarrierreef
#SAVETHEREEF
Please share this on your blogs, on Facebook & Twitter and everywhere else you can.
We’ve got to stop this stupid man from destroying a World Heritage Site.
And doesn’t he realise the tourism dollars Australia will lose? Is he really that thick?

Ugly Animals
Britain’s Ugly Animal Preservation Society In Search Of … The World’s Ugliest Animal

Dolphins, pandas, sea turtles. It’s easy to save the cute animals. But what of the world’s ugliest critters?
That’s the very question the Ugly Animal Preservation Society (yes, there is such a thing) is asking. They argue that all of the world’s creatures – from large to small, adorable to heinous – are important to the health of the environment.
The British group, sounding like something that’s just funny-walked out of a Monty Python film, is, it says, dedicated “to raising the profile of some of Mother Nature’s more aesthetically challenged children.”
To the end of saving ugly endangered creatures, reports Wanderlust travel magazine, the Society is in search of a mascot — something nice and slimy, like the jumping slug, or just malformed-looking and squat, like the New Zealand kakapo parrot.
They’re now in the nomination phase for a new mascot, with current frontrunners including the hagfish, the purple pig-nosed frog and the giant Palouse earthworm.

Worlds Biggest Sand Island …
FRASER ISLAND, 200km north of Brisbane along Queensland’s east coast, is the world’s largest sand island at 122km long and up to 25km wide.
Its 400,000 acres are home to eight separate ecosystems.
The mangrove, wallum, and banksia forests of the west, the subtropical rainforest of the interior, freshwater lakes and and the coastal dunes and great beaches to the east, this is a trip through time.

Disparate environments
The desolation and stark beauty of Fraser’s eastern dunes exist only a short walk from subtropical rainforest that is teeming with life of every shade of green. One of the reasons such disparate environments exist so close to one another is the vast amount of fresh water hidden beneath the sands. Estimates vary, but it’s believed that the aquifer beneath Fraser contains around 15 million megalitres of fresh water…to put that number in perspective, the iconic Sydney Harbor, in its entirety, contains only 500,000 megalitres.
