I can&#39;t believe the footage shown in this video. How cool is to be able to be so close to wildlife. I&#39;m very jealous you have got to spend time with these animals.

It’s unfortunate that a lot of people are still unaware of the importance of this endangered creature to our ecosystem. We should take care of our oceans and beaches; these can save the turtles from extinction and can save ourselves too.]]></description></item><item><title>Live Coral comments on A site visit to Harbor Branch</title><author>Live Coral</author><pubDate>Thu, 27 Sep 2012 16:17:02 +0000</pubDate><link>http://alistairdove.com/blog/2010/12/11/a-site-visit-to-harbor-branch.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">639985:7513079:comment/19040937</guid><description><![CDATA[I am amazed at all the live coral they aquaculture.

Not all is lost as they can come back through seeding but we need to do everything we can preserve our reefs today.]]></description></item><item><title>Paige Lees comments on The start of something beautiful</title><author>Paige Lees</author><pubDate>Sat, 28 Jul 2012 17:08:12 +0000</pubDate><link>http://alistairdove.com/blog/2011/1/20/the-start-of-something-beautiful.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">639985:7513079:comment/18777597</guid><description><![CDATA[Brazil and Australia are two countries with a huge land mass which encompasses some of the most interesting places in the world.

Both countries have very different locations on the globe and a mix of different weather conditions and geological situations. No doubt, this has given rise to a very different bio landscape. For me, the Amazon will always hold a certain magic that no other place on Earth can. I have never been to the Andes but cannot imagine it being too different to the Himalayas. But in the Amazon, we have a unique treasure on Mother Earth which we must cherish and protect. It provides a landscape which, if lost, can never be replicated by man.]]></description></item></channel></rss>
