Fishbone Forests
Road to ruin: Roads threatens heart of the rainforest
“When a new road pierces the Amazon rainforest, it creates what is known as the fishbone effect. First comes the spine, which is a highway opened up by bulldozers, asphalters and pavers. Soon after follow the ribs, the spur roads on either side that are carved out – often illegally – by land-grabbers, loggers, miners and farmers. From a satellite or plane, the end result resembles the skeleton of a herring with all of the surrounding vegetation steadily filleted away by chainsaws and fire.”
“The noise of the machines tearing through the forest has been driving animals away”
In the new settlements “is where the asphalt runs out and upgrade work would begin. The town has no pavements or stable electricity. During storms, sewage overflows on to the tracks. But settlers have high hopes.”
“As dozens of scientists warned in an open letter in 2021: “Once roads are built in the Amazon, the events that follow are largely out of the government’s control.”

I thought you might like a little riverside view, from Hobart.
Ruins of an old canal aqueduct.
On the long disused Leominster Canal on the borders of Shropshire and Herefordshire stands the ruin of the Teme Aqueduct.
Despite the canal being disued, the aqueduct stood intact until an explosives exercise in WW2 demolished the middle arch!
Despite this, the remaining structure is Grade 2 Listed!

I'm not exactly OK (nothing too bad, don't worry), so I couldn't make a new shrimp, but I used a previous post, pasted some ducklings, improvised a bit of background and now it's a freshwater oversize shrimp.

Connecting Lake George and Lake Champlain, the La Chute River drops over 70 m in just 6 km. Most of that drop is in rapids, but here are the La Chute Falls in Ticonderoga, New York.

How a UK river serves as a natural lab for flood defence research.
A river near Edinburgh in Scotland has served for more than a decade as a natural laboratory for studying flood defences, providing benefits such as improved water quality worth millions.
“Models are great and all, but it’s only with real-world data that you get a full understanding of all the various factors that can affect these results.”
While sitting in my usual #heron spot I noticed something in the corner of my eye….this #CommonSandpiper.
Moments later I was spooked my a fieldmouse which came out of nowhere and I’m 80% sure jumped at me! I ended up stepping into the #River which scared of the Sandpiper but luckily I had captured this first.

Yesterday I made a wee loop of some figures dancing by a river, & only realised after posting that I'd made a #RiverDance and should have, you know, done the *proper* dance.
So I decided to give it a go.

Colorado River deal reached, bringing big water cuts for three years
The seven states that depend on the #Colorado #River announced on Monday that they have reached an #agreement on #cutting #water #use from the river over the next three years to prevent reservoirs from falling to critically low levels.
Representatives of the states reached the consensus after months of negotiations, with #California, #Arizona and #Nevada together committing to reduce water use by about 3 million acre-feet between now and the end of 2026.

[Daniel Coe has done and continues to make amazing hydrographic cartography in this regard, see image attached]

“[T]housands of years of course changes compressed into a single image by a clever mapmaker with an artistic eye. Looking at them, you're invited to imagine the Mississippi as it was during the European exploration of the Americas in the 1500s, during the Cahokia civilization in the 1200s (when this city's population matched London's), when the first humans came upon the river more than 12,000 years ago, and even back to before humans, when mammoths, camels, dire wolves, and giant beavers roamed the land and gazed upon the river…”

Meet a scary looking critter, the #orbspider, but she’s pretty harmless all the same.
This is a female. They’re the big ones! Males are way-smaller in size.
I saw a heap of these (nearly walked into this one’s web) a week ago, along the #LoddonRiver in #Bendigo #australia.
Australian golden orb weaver:
Found in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Australia, northern New Zealand, and New Caledonia.
The female typically grows to around 40mm (1.5 inch), whereas males only reach around 7-10mm (quarter to a third of an inch) in length.
It’s web is normally over 1 metre in diameter. Once built, it never leaves its web.
They’re harmless and not poisonous to humans.
Its main predators are birds and parasitic wasps.
Breeds throughout late summer and spring, and produces an average of 380 eggs.
The tiny males tie down the much larger females before mating, weaving silk threads over their abdomens.
Sexual cannibalism is rare with this species, however up to 50% of males are cannibalised throughout the natural course of life, as ‘prey’.
They’re an edible spider and are considered a delicacy in New Guinea. They’re plucked by the legs from their webs and lightly roasted over an open fire. Ummm, no thanks 😳
