This blog was created because I'm very much concerned about our Planet and the many environmental issues which deserve being known by everybody. Some are real catastrophes while others are achievements of great importance for the survival of numerous endangered species or the health of the only planet we've got: E A R T H !
To my dear visitors and commenters
Hi, everybody!
I've noticed with lots of joy and happiness, that thousands of comments have been written in my posts. It's wonderful that so may people around the world appreciate my work. Therefore, I want to thank you for that and ,at the same time I want to ask you to be this blog's followers. It's fast and easy!
Make it be even more visited and spread all over the world! I'm a woman, a teacher of English in Portugal, and I've been away for quite a long time because of my father's health.
Unfortunately he died from Covid19 a few months ago. Now I felt it was time to restart my activity in this and other blogs I owe. I've recently created a new one in a partnership with a street photographer, Mr. Daniel Antunes. He's fabulous!

Thank you so much!
Kisses :-)

Crew rescue entangled whale in freezing Icelandic waters
It took them two days to release the poor trapped whale!
Brave these men!
Would you spend your weekend grappling with a whale in freezing Icelandic waters?
One team of volunteers did just that, as they attempted to free a whale that had become entangled in fishing gear.
Working from a small inflatable boat, the four-man team pursued the humpback whale for two days before attaching a rope to the fishing gear and eventually cutting it away.
The operation was described by one of the organisations involved as the most dangerous type of rescue that they do.
Mark Stevens and Geoff Hammock, co-directors of the British Divers Marine Life Rescue, explained the rescue operation to the BBC's Lucy Hockings.
