Happy clean beaches week! What was the most beautiful beach you have ever visited?
The week of July 1–7 is designated as Clean Beaches Week, a time to recognize our beaches and make sure they remain clean, protected, and beautiful for future generations.
Some ways that YOU can help keep our beaches clean are:
1. Don't Litter and pick up trash when you see it! Organize beach cleanups for your community and make sure you always bring a trash bag (for your own and any you may find) when you visit.
2. Keep away from Sand Dunes: They shield inland communities from storm damage. Use the designated boardwalks and walkways instead.
3. Be mindful of wildlife: A multitude of wildlife and marine life share our beaches with us. To prevent disturbing animals and their habitats, be aware of your surroundings and watch where you walk. All creatures and plants should be admired from a distance and left undisturbed.
4. Keep an eye on your dog: To safeguard other animals, plants, and habitats, keep your pet on a leash and stay on designated routes. Always pick up dog waste since it can contaminate nearby waters and lead to the spread of disease.
We are all in this together!

E-XTRA EP.15💡
Dobbiamo sentirci in colpa se mangiamo un hamburger al fast food, magari prima di saltare di corsa su un treno? Già perché l’inquinamento del pianeta, passa anche dal nostro piatto 🍔
➡️ La produzione di carne è responsabile del 18% delle emissioni globali di gas serra. Per ogni kg di carne di manzo si producono fino a 60 kg di CO2. Sostituire il filetto di manzo con proteine vegetali ridurrebbe il riscaldamento globale potenziale di un buon 80%.
Ma non è tutto. Entro il 2050, la popolazione mondiale sarà di 9 miliardi di persone, e con tale crescita aumenterà anche la domanda alimentare. Per minimizzarne l’impatto ambientale, è necessario passare a produzioni alimentari più sostenibili e cambiare le nostre abitudini a tavola.

Thank you nature! Luck is always a welcomed ingredient in our work! While following a group of Hippos in Tanzania's Selous Game Reserve a group of giraffes showed up in the background and surprised us a bit by crossing the river. Serendipitous and beautiful in the landscape. I said out loud to myself; now all we need is a nice big yawn from the closest hippo... And voilà! It's no secret that hippos love water, which is why the Greeks named them the "river horse." Hippos can spend more than 16 hours a day submerged in rivers and lakes to keep their massive bodies cool under the hot African sun. Hippos are graceful in water and can hold their breath underwater for up to five minutes! #tanzania#bestjobintheworld#conservation#artistduoalexandrovklum#africa#ecosystem#protectbiodiversity#ecosystemengineer#beauty#power@natgeo@irisalexandrov@alexandrovklumofficial
A group of hippos at sunset in Botswanas Okavango delta. Hippos are truly ecosystem engineers! They change and even create the land in and around this wetland flushed yearly by nearly 11 cubic kilometers of water. They do this by moving huge amounts of soil around with their sheer size. They create channels in the water and paths on land that redirect water. This also creates habitat and shelter for other species. Hippos also play an important role in this delta, and elsewhere, by fertilizing the water. By eating on land and eutrofying the water, they bring nutrients to rivers and lakes that wouldn’t otherwise be there, helping enrich Okavango's plant and animal life. A healthy delta provides numerous ecosystem services for mankind. #botswana#delta#africa#ecosystem#engineer#gfx100s#beauty#power@natgeo@irisalexandrov@alexandrovklumofficial
This very relaxed female cheetah and her cub gave me and @irisalexandrov an amazing experience. Remarkably beautiful, lightning fast and so vulnerable all at the same time. The cheetah’s unique body structure: semi-retractable claws, flexible spine, long legs and tail allow it to achieve the staggering top speed of 112km/h. At top speed, the stride of this cat is at least seven meters long. Cheetahs have large nostrils that allow for increased oxygen intake. They also have large lungs and hearts connected to a circulatory system with strong arteries and adrenals that work in tandem to circulate oxygen through their blood very efficiently. According to the the latest cheetah census these majestic animals, which are already few in number, may decline by an additional 53 percent over the next 15 years. Please support big cat and cheetah conservation organizations like @ccfcheetah Photographed in Phinda Private Game Reserve, South Africa.

I found this gorgeous scorpionfish on the house reef of Kri Eco resort in Raja Ampat, Indonesia. The reefs below the surface are home to more than 1500 species of fish and around 700 species of reef-building coral, and counting...!
It is of utmost importance to restore and rebuild damaged ecosystems but essential to halt the destruction! By preserving and respecting the remaining beauty on this planet we actually secure long term sustainable success for mankind! The only safe path ahead is to love and enjoy nature in a more thoughtful way anchored in science and "common sense. #rajaampat#indonesia#marine#kriecoresort#ecosystem#paradise#divers#photooftheday#protectbiodiversity#mattiasklum#conservation@natgeo@irisalexandrov@alexandrovklumofficial@thephotosociety
Coral reefs like here in Indonesia’s remarkable Raja Ampat is overwhelmingly rich in life forms. In fact, it’s one of the richest marine ecosystems in the entire World. The reefs below the surface are home to more than 1500 species of fish (including the funky species that I photographed in a cave) and around 700 species of reef-building coral, and counting...!
By preserving and respecting the remaining beauty on this planet we actually secure long term sustainable success for humankind! The only safe path ahead is to use (and love) nature in a much more responsible and thoughtful way, anchored in science and "common sense"! #goldeneye#rajaampat#indonesia#marine#ecosystem#paradise#divers#protectbiodiversity#mattiasklum#conservation@natgeo@irisalexandrov@alexandrovklumofficial@thephotosociety@mattiasklumofficial
