Mysterious green crust on a blasted planet
Lichens are the dominant form of vegetation on eight per cent of the earth's land surface, and a major contributor of nutrients to barren environments such as desert and tundra. They are a key indicator of ecological change and a warning signal of decline. Use the internet to learn about them and use them to monitor environmental health where you live.

Fish have been dying in great numbers across the United States--for years. Try an estimated 11.7 million in one year in 22 states. Try 14.3 million in Texas in less than a year. A million in one month in North Carolina. It's not just fish either. Dolphins, sea turtles, whales, sea lions, seals and birds die too. And people become ill.

Viviparid snails
Viviparid snails are rather unusual among freshwater snails. They give birth to live young, and live quietly as filter feeders. The lid on the back of their foot allows them to survive well in swamps and shallow waters.
