Youngsters collected €1300 for the nature

The length of the marathon organized for members of Klabb Hutaff by BirdLife Malta can only strike. 12 kilometer marathon was full of students, their teachers and parents. The reason of the marathon is to give everybody who’s under 18 a chance to do their part for environment and greener life.

‘That’s also a part of education’ claims the BirdLife’s partner. Walking through Rabat and up to is-Simar Narute Reserve in Xemxija brought €1300 which would be transferred toward optical equipment for is-Simar Nature Reserve.

Children spoke on about the environment and expressed their ideas. All of them are obsessed with the idea of helping Mother Nature and of course children will continue their campaigning.

Winter around the world

Hello, privet, hola, ni hao! I’m back to my blog finally, and it’s winter now. Yes, the winter season is over the world, but not everywhere will you find snow :) I’d love to dedicate this article to winter and the winter nature. At that time of year the nature changes completely. Whatever you say, winter has some hidden mystery. Probably the nature falls asleep and it’s not that lively, probably the snow charms with its purity :) Here are some nice winter pictures. I really love them, hope you will too.

The northern lights in Alaska. It’s a spectacular scene. No wonder lots of tourists are rushing to Alaska each year in order to watch the beauty and more than that have fun skiing, walking.

The Canadian winter nature is something that you should see with your own eyes. Snow-covered pine-trees and snow-clad mountains.

That’s a Russian winter picture that I took myself in the nearby park.

Winter in Algeria! No comment :-)

Where the nature sings

The Alps is the name of one of the biggest and gorgeous mountain chain systems of Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east, through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany to France in the west. They are divided into the Western Alps and the Eastern Alps.

Mont Blanс is the highest mountain in the Alps chain - 4,808 meters (15,774 ft).

As we rise from the sea level into the upper levels of atmosphere the temperature decreases. What is interesting, there are eternal glaciers in the top of alps, the temperature is low; going down it begins to increase, that's why the lowest areas of the Alps are full of rich flora. Furthermore the weather forecast in the Alps is really unpredictable.

The Alps are considered to be attractive for tourists and especially Alpinists. Clean snow and at the same time wonderful forests, wide meadows, which you can smell amazing fragrance from, the cleanest air. What a place for chilling! Such nature is needed for people and their health to be strong, for getting some positive emotions, which people usually have a lack of. And the air is so clean, that some people might collapse, because they didn't get used to that clean air.
What is most wonderful about The Alps is its extremely rich and diverse nature : vast meadows, forests, lakes…

Great deal of herbaceous vegetation is very common in the Alps. There is a great variety of meadow flowers: rusty-leaved Alpenrose, Edelweiss, stemless gentian, Alpine pasque-flower, glacier buttercup etc. Wildlife still charms us: Alpine Ibex, Chamois, Alpine Marmot, Mountain Hare. Birds: Golden Eagle, Alpine Chough, Alpine Accentor.

Ptarmigan, Tengmalm's Owl, Capercaillie, Alpine Salamander. These species are found in 15% of the Alps protected in parks and reserves.
