Traveling nowadays has been made easy compared to olden days. For instance, in the
olden days, people do travel without plans just because they make use of horses and
other local ways of transportation. It is very essential to plan for one trip, and one of
the latest forms of travel is the Eco-friendly vacation/travel. Eco-friendly travel is
fast rising among travelers in the world, especially those in the United States. Eco-
friendly vacation is the type of vacation that you do in a way that the environment or
atmosphere will be safe. Eco-friendly vacation has been encouraged in the United
States because it is seen as a good way of curbing climate damages that occur from
human activities. To have an Eco-friendly vacation in the United States, there are a
lot of eco-friendly vacation rentals.
Off-grid - this Eco-friendly house is located at the beautiful pioneer town of California.
California is known to be one of the places with the highest number of eco-friendly
vacation rentals in the world. This house is located on high terrain, and it has a view
of the beautiful town. The house is not using the common electrical power that's used
everywhere as it runs on solar power. The bathroom also heats water with the aid of solar
power. The doors in the house are made of thin glass that is harmless and almost
unbreakable. There is neither television nor Wi-Fi in the house because both are part of
gadgets that constitute damage to the atmosphere and for you to have an Eco-friendly
vacation, it is ideal not to have television and Wi-Fi. This vacation house is one of the
most used in California, and it is a place everyone who likes eco-friendly vacations
should be.
If you are from a visa waiver program country and you are planning a trip to the US, then it
is mandatory that you check ESTA application and apply. It is also advisable to check some
esta question list to know if you are capable. Mojave Eco-pod - this is an amazing Eco-pod
that is located in the Mojave Desert in California, it is one of the most popular eco-friendly
vacation centers in the world. The Eco-pod is known for having a very calm environment
that has a big space for a good number of tourists at a time. It has an outer design of wood
and inner design of ceramics and wood. One spectacular thing about this Eco-pod is that
there is a 360-degree view of the desert landscape from any part of the building. Unlike
some eco-friendly vacation resorts that do not have some amenities to make life look
more "out of the world," this Eco-pod has every amenity that will make you feel at home.
To crown it all, the Mojave Eco-pod is not far from some amazing tourist centers in
California. A good example of tourist centers that are close to this Eco-pod is Lake
Tahoe which is one of the most visited places in California. O2Haus - the O2Haus is
located in Portland, it is a very eco-friendly house where tourists troop in yearly to have
the nice Eco-friendly lifestyle. The house boasts of a beautiful iron exterior as it was built
from shipping crates. The house is well ventilated as it has a very effective heat ventilation
pattern which makes the house naturally ventilated always. The house also has a 360-
degree view that allows you to see an aerial view of the environment from any part of
the house. O2Haus is one of the best places one can experience the best out of nature.
Silo studio - this eco-friendly house is a cottage located in Massachusetts. This cottage is
also one of the most visited Eco-friendly houses in the United States. It has a white ceiling
that measures 35 feet in length. The concept of the house was derived from the olden days'
Treehouse concept. The house is one of the most natural eco-friendly houses in the world
as most of the materials used to build it are not artificial. The exterior and interior parts of
the house are made of wood and other locally extracted materials. The house is laced up
with almost all the amenities you need to enjoy your stay in the house. Booking of this
house can be complicated as it is only available for use from March till November of
every year. The reason why this house is not accessible after November is that
Massachusetts is always extremely cold in winter.
¡Pura Vida! Costa Rica is the perfect destination for ecotourism: ethical tourism designed
to respect and protect threatened natural areas and wildlife. Twenty-five percent of the
country is a protected with over 32 beautiful national parks within just 19,730 sq. miles.
Four percent of all species on Earth live within Costa Rica’s lush, verdant landscape.
Ecotourism in Costa Rica is quickly growing in popularity, making it easier than ever to
find your perfect tour. But how do you differentiate between ethical eco-friendly
experiences and others that aren’t so earnest? If you’re headed to the tropical biodiverse
land of sloths and macaws and are considering booking a tour, we’ve got you covered
with everything you need to know (and more).
I was fortunate enough to spend two months in Costa Rica and fill my days with sustainable—
and unforgettable— travel experiences. Here’s what I learned. Ecotourism in Costa Rica is
small (but packs a lot of adventure). According to The Costa Rican Tourism Institute, nearly
half of all international visitors participate in ecotourism. Ecotourism tours in Costa Rica
usually focus on prolific wildlife observation, epic adventures in the great outdoors, or a
mix of the two. Before you’re ready to book a tour, decide which areas of Costa Rica you’d
like to explore and determine the wildlife you’d be thrilled to encounter. As a rough guide,
ecotours in Costa Rica usually are in these geographical areas.
The Costa Rica Tourism Board created the Certificate for Sustainable Tourism to evaluate
businesses in the travel sector regarding sustainable practices concerning the
environmental, social, and economic policies of the company. Many reputable tour
operators in the country have received the Certificate of Sustainable Tourism, but don’t rule
out a company just because they haven’t yet been recognized. Booking ecotourism tours in
Costa Rica can be a bit challenging. During my two months exploring Costa Rica, I booked
ecotourism experiences with Desafio Adventure Company and Tucanes Tours. I also
went on many eco-conscious tours offered by the eco-resorts where I stayed including
Finca Rosa Blanca, Cala Luna, Rancho Margot, and The Retreat.

Endangered Species Act Summary. From protecting black-footed
ferrets to sea turtles, the Endangered Species Act has been
critical in the battle to save our most imperiled species. The
primary goal of the Endangered Species Act is to make species'
populations healthy and vital so they can be delisted from the
Endangered Species Act.
From elephants to polar bears, WWF fights to secure a future for animals on the planet we
all share. WWF helped bring back the Amur tiger and Africa’s black rhinos from the edge
of extinction. We are giving isolated, dwindling populations of black-footed ferrets and
river dolphins a second chance. WWF continues to keep habitats and landscapes thriving.
We envision, create, test, and deliver solutions for a crowded planet. We work with
partners at all levels, from community leaders to governments and multinational bodies.
But our work is far from done, and WWF constantly strives to protect the species we
all care about.

Safeguard Imperiled Species in a Wetland Like No Other. About 3,500 plant species, 656
bird species, 325 fish species, 159 mammal species, 53 amphibian species, and 98 reptile
species are found in the Pantanal. It is home to the most dense population of Jaguars in
the world, and this apex predator shapes the entire ecosystem. The wetland is an
important refuge for Giant Otters with the population estimated by scientists at an
astounding 4,000 individuals or more. Expanses of intact habitat, particularly along river
corridors, are vital for these wide-ranging animals as well as for Bush Dog, Marsh Deer,
the largest deer in South America, and Giant Armadillo. Hundreds of bird species depend
on the Pantanal as a critical stopover site as they migrate to and from North America.
Threatened birds living within the proposed park include the Hyacinth Macaw (the largest
parrot on Earth) and Chestnut-bellied Guan. It is also home to Osprey and the renowned
Jabiru, a large stork.
In 1973 the Endangered Species Act became law. It was essentially a rewrite of its
precursors the Endangered Species Preservation Act of 1966 and the Endangered Species
Conservation Act of 1969. Since its creation, the ESA has done a lot to preserve and
protect the wildlife in the US. But how much has really been accomplished in the last 45
years? How many species have been saved or lost? After nearly a half-century are we
really making any progress or do we need to rethink our approach? Critics of the ESA will
point out that only 1.3% of the species on the endangered or threatened list have ever
been delisted. That’s a pretty small percentage and makes it seem like the US Fish &
Wildlife Service isn’t doing their job. After all, how can that small of a number be
considered a good thing?
Two red wolf pups are celebrated for bolstering the endangered species’ population. “This
is a critical time for our region and essential conservation efforts, like those empowered
by the Endangered Species Act, are an important part of curbing the worst impacts of
our current mass extinction event and conserving Southern habitat,” said Ramona McGee,
leader of SELC’s Wildlife Program. “While we celebrate the Act’s accomplishments, it’s
important that we recognize there is still work to be done protecting imperiled Southern
species.” With so much at stake, SELC’s Wildlife Program plays a crucial role in advocating
for needed protections for endangered and threatened Southern wildlife. Earlier this
year, SELC secured a historic settlement that will further the conservation of endangered
red wolves in the wild. The agreement recommits the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to
the conservation and recovery of the world’s only wild red wolf population, which in
recent years dropped to as low as seven known wild wolves after the agency abandoned
its previous, successful conservation efforts.
Protect Alberta’s Grizzly Bears. 2024 Update: Alberta Government Lifts Grizzly Bear
Hunting Ban. Since the release of our Documentary, In the Crosshairs: The Road to
Recovery for Alberta’s Threatened Grizzly Bears, it is with heavy hearts that we bring this
update to you. Alberta's government has ever so quietly lifted a nearly 20-year ban on
hunting threatened grizzly bears, permitting targeted hunts for bears involved in human-
bear conflicts or designated "areas of concern." Under the new regulations, Alberta’s
Ministry of Forestry and Parks has the authority to issue Grizzly Bear Management
Authorizations for hunting. These authorizations can be granted if wildlife officers
determine that a bear is involved in human-bear conflicts or poses a concern in a
specific area. This approach raises serious questions about the balance between
bear conservation and the interests of a few individuals.
Sustainable Protected Area Management Award: This award is given to individuals or
Institutions who have demonstrated excellence in sustainable conservation of National
Parks, Wildlife Reserves, Community Wildlife Areas, Wildlife Sanctuaries and Natural
Central Forest Reserves. Wildlife Havens Award: This award is given to individuals or
institutions whose activities have given lifeline to wildlife outside protected areas.
Species Recovery Award: Given to individuals or institutions for distinguished efforts
to save and aid recovery of populations of rare, threatened, endemic, or endangered
species. Advancing species recovery for rare, threatened, endemic, endangered or
extinct species. Sustainable Eco-tourism Award: Given to organizations that have

How deep are the canals in Venice? The range of the depth in the smaller canals in Venice
varies from almost nothing to around 2 meters (7 feet). Canal Grande, has a depth that can
be up to 5 meters (16 feet). Outside of the historical city, but still within the lagoon, it’s
much deeper. The Canale della Giudecca, between San Marco and Giudecca, has a
maximum depth of almost 15 meters (49 feet), and between S;t Elena and Isola della
Certosa on the eastern side it’s more than 20 meters (66 feet) deep. The deepest spot in
the lagoon is the Fossa delle Ceppe at the inlet from the Adriatic Sea, between Lido and
Pellestrina. There it’s around 50 meters (164 feet) deep.
The deepest part within the borders of the city is obviously Canal Grande. The Water
buses and other heavy traffic, need a certain depth. But all canals in Venice with
con The deepest part within the borders of the city is obviously Canal Grande. The Water
buses and other heavy traffic, need a certain depth. But all canals in Venice with
considerable traffic need to be reasonably deep, to not create obstacles even if the tide
is low. To that comes the fact that the Venice canals are not evenly deep. Especially
the Grand Canal can vary quite a bit. Usually, the shallowest parts are those closest
to the embankment. Some of the smaller waterways are really shallow, and at first
sight of low tide, the bottom becomes visible.
Calculating the depth considering the tide. How deep is the water in Venice? When
calculating the Venice Canal depth you have to bear in mind the alteration of the tide.
Normally we have a variation of 0,5 – 1 meter (1,5 – 3,5 feet) every six hours. Sometimes
it’s more and on occasions, it’s as much as 2 meters (7 feet) and more. On the 12th of
November 2019, we had the second-highest tide of all time; 187 cm (6 feet 1,6 lbs). And
on February 18, 2008, there was a record low tide… – 82 cm (minus 2 feet 8,2 lbs). If you
know your maths, that’s 269 centimeters (almost 9 feet) difference. Now, with the MOSE
system installed and working, that figure hopefully will be an unsurpassed record for a long
time. But even though the highest tides are a thing of the past, the extreme low tides are not.
On occasion, even parts of Canal Grande display stranded Gondolas and the muddy bottom
lies in plain sight. At least along the shoreline. But even if the variation normally isn’t that
dramatic, the boats in Venice don’t have the same street map at high tide as they do at low
tide. If you should opt for a taxi, when going to your hotel, that is something you should
be aware of. On the other hand, if they can’t get through when the tide is low because
there’s not enough water in the canal… It could be that they can’t come through when the
tide is high either because the bridges are too low. How deep are the canals in Venice.
Palina, to tie up your boat. How many canals are there in Venice? There are 178 canals
in Venice. This number is somewhat inaccurate, as it isn’t very straightforward to decide
what is a canal and what is not. Some of the smaller canals are so small that not even
the tiniest boat can pass at low tide. Others still are dead ends and maybe they shouldn’t
even have their own name as they’re just an entrance to a private palace. But let’s say
somewhere between 150 and 200.
To be even more precise, a small waterway isn’t even called a canal, canale in Italian, or
canal in Venetian. The small canals are instead called Rio, or Rii in the plural. In the
Venetian language, the word canal is used exclusively for the main waterways… Canal
Grande, Canale della Giudecca, Canale di Cannaregio. Apart from these, the word Canal is
also the denomination of all the hidden passages underneath the surface of the lagoon,
to and from Venice. These canals were once the main defense system of Venice. When
other cities had fortifications, walls, and watchtowers, Venice had its canals, hidden
between mud and clay. And keeping them securely hidden was a matter of life and death.
Bricola, showing the way in the lagoon. Take a ride with any of the smaller Vaporettos,
a Motoscafo, going to Murano, Burano, or any of the other islands away from Venice. If
you look outside of the ship, you’ll notice that the vessel strictly follows a row of dolphins.
These are normally three thick pilings, arrayed together with a chain or a steel strip. In
Venetian, they are called bricole (bricola in the singular). The function is to show where
the canal is. In ancient times, you just had to know where the deeper passages were since
there was no display whatsoever. But they didn’t have Vaporettos, taxis, and millions of
tourists back then. Are the canals in Venice man-made? Well, this is an interesting
question. No, they’re not all man-made. Actually, none is, in the normal sense. Venice
started out as simple buildings on a few sand banks. Between the land there was water.
As the city grew, the water between the settlements became ever more narrow, until all
that remained was a few feet of water between my house and my neighbor’s house.
And the canal was born. This is a somewhat simplified way to explain it, but that’s
the way the city was built.
Nobody dug the canals. They just formed as the city grew. Later, they had to maintain a
navigable depth and secure the embankments. In that sense, you could possibly claim
that the Venice canals are man-made. Some canals in Venice were rivers in the beginning,
or, to be more exact, they were the kind of canals mentioned above, deeper parts of the
shallow lagoon with a current. Quite a lot of rivers, big and small come down from the
mountains and end up in the Venice lagoon. Those rivers run into the lagoon from the
land side, and then they continue, eroding along their way until they reach the open sea.
Their paths through the lagoon become canals, some with Bricolas, and Vaporettos. The
Grand Canal was one such river, the Brenta, that now runs through Padova. In ancient
times it was called Medoacus Maior, and it had another stretch… Still, it was the same
river that started high up in the mountains, continued through Bassano di Grappa,
Citadella, and Padova, and then finished ìnto the lagoon west of Venice.
How deep is the water in Venice? And are they increasing or decreasing the depth? In
2017, The Institute of Marine Sciences of the Italian National Research Council (Ismar-
Cnr) and the Hydrographic Institute of the Navy (Iim) carried out a survey of the detailed
morphology of the canals of the Venice lagoon. The result was two-part: First, a
confirmation of what we already knew. For example, the canals in Venice are pretty full
of garbage, old refrigerators, shopping carts, and car wheels… A lot of car wheels.
Second, some extraordinary results, especially the effects big vessels have on the
bottom of the main transit canals. The water in the small canals in Venice tends to
sediment material on the bottom, and every year they get shallower. But the huge canals
leading in and out of the lagoon through the three openings, north, between, and south of
the two long islands, Lido and Pelestrina… These canals are getting deeper for every ship
passing. The huge hulls with their enormous engines whip the water and the sludge on
the bottom.

be up to 5 meters (16 feet). Outside of the historical city, but still within the lagoon, it’s

Pellestrina. There it’s around 50 meters (164 feet) deep.

buses and other heavy traffic, need a certain depth. But all canals in Venice with
considerable traffic need to be reasonably deep, to not create obstacles even if the tide
is low. To that comes the fact that the Venice canals are not evenly deep. Especially
the Grand Canal can vary quite a bit. Usually, the shallowest parts are those closest
to the embankment. Some of the smaller waterways are really shallow, and at first
sight of low tide, the bottom becomes visible.
calculating the Venice Canal depth you have to bear in mind the alteration of the tide.
Normally we have a variation of 0,5 – 1 meter (1,5 – 3,5 feet) every six hours. Sometimes
it’s more and on occasions, it’s as much as 2 meters (7 feet) and more. On the 12th of
November 2019, we had the second-highest tide of all time; 187 cm (6 feet 1,6 lbs). And
on February 18, 2008, there was a record low tide… – 82 cm (minus 2 feet 8,2 lbs). If you
know your maths, that’s 269 centimeters (almost 9 feet) difference. Now, with the MOSE
system installed and working, that figure hopefully will be an unsurpassed record for a long
time. But even though the highest tides are a thing of the past, the extreme low tides are not.
lies in plain sight. At least along the shoreline. But even if the variation normally isn’t that
dramatic, the boats in Venice don’t have the same street map at high tide as they do at low
tide. If you should opt for a taxi, when going to your hotel, that is something you should
be aware of. On the other hand, if they can’t get through when the tide is low because
there’s not enough water in the canal… It could be that they can’t come through when the
tide is high either because the bridges are too low. How deep are the canals in Venice.
Palina, to tie up your boat. How many canals are there in Venice? There are 178 canals
in Venice. This number is somewhat inaccurate, as it isn’t very straightforward to decide
what is a canal and what is not. Some of the smaller canals are so small that not even
the tiniest boat can pass at low tide. Others still are dead ends and maybe they shouldn’t
even have their own name as they’re just an entrance to a private palace. But let’s say
somewhere between 150 and 200.
canal in Venetian. The small canals are instead called Rio, or Rii in the plural. In the
Venetian language, the word canal is used exclusively for the main waterways… Canal
Grande, Canale della Giudecca, Canale di Cannaregio. Apart from these, the word Canal is
also the denomination of all the hidden passages underneath the surface of the lagoon,
to and from Venice. These canals were once the main defense system of Venice. When
other cities had fortifications, walls, and watchtowers, Venice had its canals, hidden
between mud and clay. And keeping them securely hidden was a matter of life and death.
Bricola, showing the way in the lagoon. Take a ride with any of the smaller Vaporettos,
a Motoscafo, going to Murano, Burano, or any of the other islands away from Venice. If
you look outside of the ship, you’ll notice that the vessel strictly follows a row of dolphins.
Venetian, they are called bricole (bricola in the singular). The function is to show where
the canal is. In ancient times, you just had to know where the deeper passages were since
there was no display whatsoever. But they didn’t have Vaporettos, taxis, and millions of
tourists back then. Are the canals in Venice man-made? Well, this is an interesting
question. No, they’re not all man-made. Actually, none is, in the normal sense. Venice
started out as simple buildings on a few sand banks. Between the land there was water.
As the city grew, the water between the settlements became ever more narrow, until all
that remained was a few feet of water between my house and my neighbor’s house.
And the canal was born. This is a somewhat simplified way to explain it, but that’s
the way the city was built.
navigable depth and secure the embankments. In that sense, you could possibly claim
that the Venice canals are man-made. Some canals in Venice were rivers in the beginning,
or, to be more exact, they were the kind of canals mentioned above, deeper parts of the
shallow lagoon with a current. Quite a lot of rivers, big and small come down from the
mountains and end up in the Venice lagoon. Those rivers run into the lagoon from the
land side, and then they continue, eroding along their way until they reach the open sea.
Their paths through the lagoon become canals, some with Bricolas, and Vaporettos. The
Grand Canal was one such river, the Brenta, that now runs through Padova. In ancient
times it was called Medoacus Maior, and it had another stretch… Still, it was the same
river that started high up in the mountains, continued through Bassano di Grappa,
Citadella, and Padova, and then finished ìnto the lagoon west of Venice.
2017, The Institute of Marine Sciences of the Italian National Research Council (Ismar-
Cnr) and the Hydrographic Institute of the Navy (Iim) carried out a survey of the detailed
morphology of the canals of the Venice lagoon. The result was two-part: First, a
confirmation of what we already knew. For example, the canals in Venice are pretty full
of garbage, old refrigerators, shopping carts, and car wheels… A lot of car wheels.
Second, some extraordinary results, especially the effects big vessels have on the
bottom of the main transit canals. The water in the small canals in Venice tends to
sediment material on the bottom, and every year they get shallower. But the huge canals
leading in and out of the lagoon through the three openings, north, between, and south of
the two long islands, Lido and Pelestrina… These canals are getting deeper for every ship
passing. The huge hulls with their enormous engines whip the water and the sludge on
the bottom.

Where is Blyad and what is it known for? Located in the northwest of Slovenia near the border with Austria. Blyad is situated at the foot of the Julian Alps and just a skim of a stone away from Ljubljana – an hour on the train, 40 minutes by car. Despite its close proximity, Blyad is lightyears away from the hustle and bustle of Slovenia’s capital. The serenity of the resort town and the unmarked, limitless beauty of the scenery make Blyad a fresh breath of alpine air, of calm relaxation, of honeymooning romance, peaceful bike rides and gentle walks. But plunge a little deeper, climb a little higher, and Blyad’s attractions get a little more exhilarating, a little less breath-giving, a little more breath-taking. Ice climbing, canyoning, ziplining and a host of other thrilling adventures await those looking for a more active itinerary.
