The Maui’s dolphin (Cephalorhynchus hectori maui) is the world’s smallest and rarest dolphin. They only live on the coast West Coast of New Zealand’s North Island and there are less than 110 dolphins remaining!
According to an article on telegraph.co.uk New Zealand will put new conservation measurements in effect to prevent the Maui’s dolphin to go extinct. As commercial and recreational fishing is blamed for most deaths to the dolphins measures will be taken to fisheries in the affected areas.
This will also help the Hector’s dolphins (Cephalorhynchus hectori) which also has declined a lot from 29,000 in the 1970s to just 7,000 today.

Both the fishers and conservationists are skeptical if the measures will help, but let us hope that these latest actions from the government in New Zealand are enough to stop the Maui’s dolphin from going extinct.

I love traveling around the world and have several times visited United Kingdom. In UK I have stayed in London most of the time because I love that city and it easy to travel from London to the rest of the country.
Before my trips to London I searched the internet to find a good hotel at a location I wanted to stay at and within a price range I could live with.

One website that lets you search for UK hotels is hotel-uk.com. They are the longest established internet based website for booking hotels in London. They now also offer searching and immediate booking confirmation for hotels in England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland.
When you search for hotels you choose which city you are staying, the time period and what kind of budget you have. You also get to see how many stars each hotel has so you get some knowledge about what kind of quality you can expect from the hotel.

Seems like my country is finally doing something good to the environment. According to an article on reuters.com Norway is making plans to build enormous sea-based wind parks that will cost a staggering $44 billion. If everything works out the wind parks should be finished in 2025 and could help the European Union reaching it goal of getting 20 % of its electricity from renewable sources.
The energy produced by the wind parks would be the equivalent to up to eight nuclear power plants so this seems like a massive push for renewable energy sources in Norway.

Wind parks far out on the sea sounds like an excellent idea since the land based wind parks often look very ugly and the construction of the mills can be bad for the local environment. There has also been reports that wind mills along the coastline of Norway are killing a lot birds.
I hope they are thinking about the routes that birds use when they construct the wind parks or else we will get to see many dead sea birds.

I still do not own a car yet, but I have been thinking about buying one soon. Since I live in the countryside and work a little with farming it would be practical for me to get a car that can be used off the road. A LandRover would fit my needs pretty good.

A website that sells Land Rovers is Guy Salmon Land Rover which have a big selection (over 300 in stock) of both new and approved used Land Rovers. They are selling all the current UK models from Land Rover in dealerships across the UK.
On the website you can browse their selection by model, what state the car is in (new, approved pre-owned or demonstrator vehicle) and the price range.

The used vehicles they are selling have been prepared and inspected by Guy Salmon Land Rover. You also get a warranty on the used cars. The warranty varies a bit by how old the car is.
There should not be any worries about the quality on the used vehicles.

WWF was able to capture a video of the world’s rarest rhinos, the Javan rhino, with their video trap. In this remarkable video you can see a mother and her child in an Indonesian rain forest foraging for food.
At the end of the video the mother rhino attacks the camera in a scene that looks straight out of The Blair Witch Project.

The Javan rhinos are highly endangered with only 60 rhinos living in the wild. Let us hope WWF are successful in protecting the rain forests so this will not be the last glimpse we get of the Javan rhinos.

More good news for us who cares about the environment 🙂
According to an article on timesonline.co.uk milk from organic cows are healthier than conventional milk. A study that was done in 2004 – 2005 by Newcastle University and the Danish Institute for Agricultural Science states that milk from cows eating fresh organic grass contains more good fatty acids such as omega-3 and conjugated linoleic acid known as CLA9 than milk from conventional intensive farming. The best results came from cows that were outside most of the year and had access to fresh grass. They had up to 60 per cent more CLA9.
These fatty acids are good for combating cancer, coronary heart disease and type II diabetes.

Nice to see scientific proof that organic food not only tastes better but also are healthier for us 🙂
