Elephants, Tanzania

 The Serengeti ecosystem is a geographical region in Africa. It is located in northern Tanzania and extends to south-western Kenya between 1 and 3 degrees south latitudes and between 34 and 36 degrees east longitudes. It spans approximately 30,000 km² (12,000 sq mi). The Kenyan part of the Serengeti is known as Maasai Mara.

Leopards, Tanzania

 The African leopard (Panthera pardus pardus) is the leopard nominate subspecies native to Africa. It is widely distributed in most of sub-Saharan Africa, but the historical range has been fragmented in the course of habitat conversion.[

Belovezhskaya Pushcha National Park, Belarus

BY-259358

Belovezhskaya Pushcha National Park is a national park within parts of the Brest Region (Kamyanyets and Pruzhanydistricts) and Grodno Region (Svislach district) in Belarus adjacent to the border with Poland. It is a preserved part of the UNESCO WHS Białowieża Forest, the last primaeval forest fragment of the Europe's woodlands, that once stretched across the European Plain. It is home to a large population of European bison the continent's heaviest land animals. The border between the two countries runs through the forest, the Białowieża National Park is on the Polish side of the border. There is a border crossing for hikers and cyclists within the forest.

Eastern Grey Kangaroo

AU-258651

The eastern grey kangaroo (Macropus giganteus) is a marsupial found in southern and eastern Australia, with a population of several million. It is also known as the great grey kangaroo and the Forester kangaroo. Although a big eastern grey male typically masses around 66 kg (weight 145 lb.) and stands almost 2 m (6.6 ft.) tall, the scientific name, Macropus giganteus (gigantic large-foot), is misleading: the red kangaroo of the semi-arid inland is larger, weighing up to 90 kg.

Kookaburra

Kookaburras  are terrestrial tree kingfishers native to Australia and New Guinea, which grow to between 28–42 cm (11–17 in) in length. The name is a loanword from Wiradjuri guuguubarra, onomatopoeic of its call. The single member of the genus Clytoceyx is commonly referred to as the shovel-billed kookaburra.

The kookaburra's loud call sounds like echoing human laughter. Kookaburras are not closely associated with water. They are found in habitats ranging from humid forest to arid savanna, as well as in suburban areas with tall trees or near running water.

Austalian Native Fauna, Newcastle, New South Wales

The fauna of Australia consists of a huge variety of animals; some 83% of mammals, 89% of reptiles, 24% of fish and insects and 93% ofamphibians that inhabit the continent are endemic to Australia. This high level of endemism can be attributed to the continent's long geographic isolation, tectonic stability, and the effects of an unusual pattern of climate change on the soil and flora over geological time. A unique feature of Australia's fauna is the relative scarcity of native placental mammals. Consequently the marsupials—a group of mammals that raise their young in a pouch, including the macropods, possums and dasyuromorphs—occupy many of the ecological niches placental animals occupy elsewhere in the world. Australia is home to two of the five known extant species of monotremes and has numerousvenomous species, which include the platypus, spiders, scorpions, octopus, jellyfish, molluscs, stonefish, and stingrays. Uniquely, Australia has more venomous than non-venomous species of snakes.

Yellow Billed Hornbill bird, Zambia

Bird. Yellow-billed hornbills prefer to forage on the ground, but they will also hop up into trees and bushes. They are not picky eaters, taking whatever they can find. They nest in holes in trees, and like other hornbills, the female seals herself in until the young are old enough to begin feeding themselves. They use millipedes in their nests, and it is thought that secretions from the insects might help protect the mother and young from bacteria. Unlike its cousins, the yellow-billed hornbill does not have a large casque over its bill. A casque is hard cartilage that protects like a helmet.

Bhutan Environmental Trust Fund

The Bhutan Trust Fund for Environmental Conservation (BTFEC) is an independent grant-making organization that uses its annual investment income to finance conservation activities. Grants are awarded to eligible Bhutanese individuals and institutions based on one of several programme areas as defined in the strategic plan. Its conservation grants support environmental programs and build local capacity to manage forests and protected areas, improve awareness and public support for conservation, and integrate economic development with environmental conservation to ensure a sustainable future for Bhutan. Generally speaking, BTFEC funding supports in-situ and ex-situ conservation initiatives in the entire green sector including sustainable utilization of genetic and species resources; strengthening integrated conservation and development planning through applied conservation research and monitoring of biodiversity changes; and promoting conservation education and awareness of conservation policies and issues.
