The Primorsky Safari Park was created in 2007 through the efforts of Dmitry Mezentsev, a biologist and wildlife photographer. The main goals of the park are to help and rehabilitate animals in Primorsky Krai that cannot live in the wild, and to provide environmental education. It's a landscape park: here you can watch animals in a forest area that has a beautiful terrain. The park covers a total of 16 hectares. The Safari Park participates in the Eurasian Association of Zoos breeding program to help preserve Amur tigers. Three adults live here: Amur, his sister Taiga, and tigress Ussuri. Amur and Ussuri have three babies: Sherkhan was born first, followed by Amba and Vlada in 2021. <br /><br />Tag: Offer tag<br />Date: March 11tanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06259083120395858314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1916266600925994339.post-19406772616522454632024-03-27T18:34:00.004+01:002024-03-27T18:34:47.464+01:00Flags of the World - Congo Republic<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6oL_gTkwiO9KH2li8_c98RVRppmJd7Ta8fd_vdN_j0ms2Icp4uoJEIpS7kaXwCmnJ14hX0kyKnJC8ekxyY0ZFrMz04Dn_bRl1W98htPG-J7bNkYRHZQopUDe-MRWNXZ3kOAvYkPD05PXx3jmkPRoohyGhZ5gDUWeHkZEvcweDHlJ2Ea4QdQny-Ivo3As/s1600/CG-001.jpg" /><br />The national flag of the Republic of the Congo was adopted in 1959.

However, the symbolism behind the red was left unexplained. From a continental viewpoint, the green, yellow and red are the colours of the Pan-Africanist movement.<br /><br />Many thanks Alena.<br />Date: Jan 12tanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06259083120395858314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1916266600925994339.post-55334273882577624092024-03-27T18:09:00.005+01:002024-03-27T18:09:58.573+01:00Rothenburg<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGtvGdZvyClGqAFDT0YVdxakqhriFa2xEC1SMM_NJzp7Y6pvII21EluDm4kWJqF3ZLfLyXFbzvnYYSC4xp6GXesIgy21lsu0Gp_Bp5Z6CD16eBS2A3kG_pfS6q0k6T_LsniEiudV4JBvhKPjYP-Ig-0QNsRv1i-7cSTWMP-Yp1jtW5y0L3UAXbnosBMw4/s1600/DE-263.jpg" /><br />Rothenburg ob der Tauber is a German town in northern Bavaria known for its medieval architecture.

The town is located near Lake Hévíz, the world’s second-largest thermal lake, but biologically the biggest active natural lake. Its temperature is affected by the combination of hot and cold spring waters, coming from 38 meters underground. The lake's healing properties have been well known for centuries by people who lived here, as far back as the end of the Stone Age. <br /><br />Many thanks Helena!<br />Date: March 11tanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06259083120395858314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1916266600925994339.post-599447662230291792024-03-21T15:54:00.005+01:002024-03-21T15:54:47.204+01:00Roman Bridge<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9WSNzTbEGkMW3GcFvku9y0DT1x7Bv5gW4B3gVcKjPJG2mu9LSbBFrR8glxs8JTkObFkZVTF-NiSxhDeFvsStcxjp-DDy0HCi4TlGXALS5BCVSsGHxA-RdmyFHtpg9GzXiAdB2l72wsMz50assYN56a1-1JlnPOYq1khyphenhyphenYZmDe5kTEiXLa8ktxe9NkjbA/s1600/DE-262.jpg" /><br />The Roman Bridge is an ancient structure in Trier, over the Moselle.

The concert hall and music palace Palau de la Musica was designed by Lluís Domènech i Montaner. He was one of the architects who formed the foundation of Catalan Modernism. Construction of the Palace of Catalan Music started in 1905 and the concert hall was completed in 1908. In 1997 the Catalan Music palace was declared UNESCO world heritage, together with Hospital de Sant Pau. Nowadays, over half a million people each year attend the musical performances in the concert hall, which vary from symphonies, opera, chamber music, flamenco, jazz, to Cançó.<br /><br />Unesco: Palau de la Música Catalana and Hospital de Sant Pau, Barcelona<br />Tag: Unesco offer tag<br />Date: March 4tanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06259083120395858314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1916266600925994339.post-46614067075099785142024-03-16T18:01:00.003+01:002024-03-16T18:01:43.543+01:00Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAwqVLs6a7SiZyE9G5LZx_ONUl1nupxiAdDbf51eFdWikzAjJr2mPFWOjbcvBqskB3S4g9g_Ue0UwgcO04B2z2Hs24f1DZdqO4hLnsMYHtBTzj4mC9Me2aiaKXY03r0JUywqyuyIG_oVSuAkuNGPJFKDXtUroTQGYe4rpL596SEfPX1ZsMz_ApSg-mWBY/s1600/CN-145.jpg" /><br />Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries, home to more than 30% of the world's pandas which are classed as highly endangered, covers 924,500 ha with seven nature reserves and nine scenic parks in the Qionglai and Jiajin Mountains. The sanctuaries constitute the largest remaining contiguous habitat of the giant panda, a relict from the paleo-tropic forests of the Tertiary Era. It is also the species' most important site for captive breeding. The sanctuaries are home to other globally endangered animals such as the red panda, the snow leopard and clouded leopard. They are among the botanically richest sites of any region in the world outside the tropical rainforests, with between 5,000 and 6,000 species of flora in over 1,000 genera.<br /><br />Unesco: Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries - Wolong, Mt Siguniang and Jiajin Mountains<br />Tag: Offer tag<br />Date: Feb 13tanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06259083120395858314noreply@blogger.com0
