    From 13 June to 2 July 2006, a team from WWF and local partners in Brazil will embark on the first-ever journey into the Brazil’s newest park in the Amazon — the Juruena National Park. The 1.9 million-hectare park — Brazil's third largest — was created on World Environment Day this year (5 June 2006).

    Using boats, jeeps, a helicopter and an airplane, the team of nature conservationists, biologists and journalists will cover more than 1,000 kilometres of the park.

    Seems like there are many things yet to be discover from our mother nature.
    The Happiest of people don't neccessary have the best of everything;
    they just make the most of everything that comes along their way


    When will there be 25 letters in the alphabets?

    Plenty of new fishes and plants for our tanks in the future!!!

    But..... if they are in the national park, then they may never make it to our shores...

    In any case, it's good to hear more national parks being set up to preserve the environment. We human are plundering it faster than it can regenerate. Shame.

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
