While these stories may not have been the most pressing issues in the news over the past few days, they are stories that I have enjoyed and found interesting. I have explained a little about them, and added links to more information on them. These articles all have a water theme to them.
We often forget how vast the oceans are - did you know they make up 99% of the planet's living space? We often therefore fail to realize how much more there is left to explore under the sea. This article tells about how many of the 225000 known species that are found in the ocean are under threat.
The website "Views of the World" uses distorted maps to present data relating to various articles. I came across this article when looking at webpages relating to my first blog post. It looks at the ocean chlorophyll levels and how levels increase near land.
We are currently studying biodiversity in my biology lessons, and I found this article about the beavers in the UK, when doing some extra research on the topic. Here is Devon Wildlife Trust's website, which explains more about them, including recent news, and other information.
Finally, here is a short clip from National Geographic's website to brighten your day.
