💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🎸🐍 Scientists named a newly described #NewGuinea groundsnake, "Lielaphis slashi", after Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash, for his love of #reptiles.
Herpetologist Chris Austin first spotted the 71 cm (28 in) snake during nighttime fieldwork in 2006. Genetic and ecological analysis confirmed it as a distinct #species, supporting #conservation in New Guinea’s threatened #forests.

The “Quiet” Chemical Killers – Chlorine
Started with the Doom Fogger , just one of the 100s of chemicals used extensively in the Game Lodges.
To write on every type of Doom like spray to prove it should not be allowed in ANY Reserves would be a mission on its own there are so many. Later I will just attack , ja attack, we not playing Painball here, every single shop in the Parks that sell any poisons. The “Quiet” ones will have to point out. Although should NOT have to point it out to ANY Lodge owner. The ALL say they support Nature Conservation, claim huge knowledge of the subject for the most part….
Every 5 Star Lodge has at least one , crystal clear pool, and every one I have seen, the runoff just goes into the ground. This is what the Greenpeace site told me.
Pool chlorine runoff damages the environment by altering soil chemistry, killing local vegetation, and introducing toxic chemical residue into natural water sources. In Bushveld and game-lodge settings, this contaminated backwash or overflow endangers localized wildlife, amphibians, and sensitive aquatic ecosystems.
Climate Change? Have a theory just recently about this. We all know it is a money making thing, but too many people believe the Trust the Science “facts”, still!! After looking at poisons for one month only, the Climate Change is Mickey Mouse, even if all we read is true. Recently the Bees got a bit of attention, they die , we die. This is biologically sound reasoning. BUT. Few things, first it is NOT only if the Bees go, we are at a point that the loss of even one tiny species of insect more and we take another big step towards …well, Armageddon. Then, I have just checked on all the insecticides/pesticides. I was sure they ALL kill bees, then I researched and found out this is 100% true. We have not even looked at herbicides yet!! That is another big issue I shall get to, as Agri Chems are just as bad. Time…. I will get there.
The reason that this chemical became the do all and end all of a clean pool is not a surprise……
The Post-WWII Backyard Boom & Mass Production
Chlorine production scaled up massively during World War I and II for industrial and chemical warfare purposes. When the war ended, chemical manufacturers had vast amounts of infrastructure to repurpose. [1]
A lot of things we EAT have a similar history!!!
I will make a quick post on that, but as you know, my concern for the general unwashed masses is not…. that great. It will be a just facts one.
Big Five Wars is my main mission for now and they also get updated regularly.

📰 Marine Reserves Now With Indigenous Co‑Management
🌏 New Zealand: New marine reserves have been opened under a co‑management model that gives Māori communities a formal role in stewardship and conservation.
🌊 The approach combines conservation goals with Indigenous leadership, helping protect marine ecosystems while strengthening long‑term community involvement.
🤝 This is an example of the growing use of conservation that works with local knowledge and governance rather than relying solely on top‑down management.
