  • Hapu'u ferns in the rain forest of the Kamakou preserve on Molokai, Hawaii. USA. These ferns are considered a delicacy by feral pigs, which have devastated large sections of native forests by rooting and digging. The pigs are being eliminated by hunting and fencing. .

  • Biosphere 2 Project undertaken by Space Biosphere Ventures, a private ecological research firm funded by Edward P. Bass of Texas.  Roy Walford, former pathologist at UCLA and one of the eight inhabitants of the Biosphere, seen in the rain forest 'biome'. Walford authored a book titled The Anti-Aging Plan. He died in 2004 at age 79 of ALS. Walford had been involved in the Project since 1983, and set up the Biosphere's medical centre.  Biosphere 2 was a privately funded experiment, designed to investigate the way in which humans interact with a small self-sufficient ecological environment, and to look at possibilities for future planetary colonization.  MODEL RELEASED 1990

  • On Green Island, a former prison island off the coast of SE Taiwan where political prisoners were incarcerated and re-educated during the unnervingly recent White Terror. There's actually still a high-security prison on the island, but it only holds 200 inmates (actual felons, not polital prisoners), as opposed to the couple thousand of earlier decades..Now it's mostly a tourist destination. We visited in the off season in March, thereby avoiding the 5,000-10,000 tourists that inundate the little place daily, though, being the off season, we had to contend instead with intermittent cold rain and high winds.

  • Weather: Rainbow over nature preserve researchers Holt and Quizenberry. Waikamoi, island of Maui, Hawaii. Rainbows occur when the observer is facing falling rain or mist but with the sun behind them. White light is reflected inside the raindrops and split into its component colors by refraction. (1984)

  • Relic Rain Forest near Cape Otway, southern Australia. View of the diversity of plant species under the canopy of a sub- tropical rain forest. The rain forests are vast regions of multi-layered floral communities. Tall trunks of the canopy trees are interspersed with species that are more at home in dark conditions. Environmentalists and scientists alike lament the destruction of the Earth's rain forests as one of the great disgraces of humanity: not only are the rain forests a major source of oxygen (from plant respiration) but they are also home to millions of unique plant and animal species. Environment [1989]

  • Nene goose, the endangered state bird of Hawaii, USA, in Volcanoes National Park on the island of Hawaii. At 230,000 acres, Hawaii's Volcanoes National Park dominates the southeast end of the Big Island, sweeping from lava-bound coast to high-mountain rain forest. Midway up the mountain, in the dry land forest, protection from predators plays a big role in the effort to bring back the nene in one of Hawaii's largest wild nene flock (about 160 birds)..Volcano National Park, Big Island, Hawaii. USA. .

  • Biosphere 2 Project Insectarium seen at dusk. The Biosphere was a privately funded experiment, designed to investigate the way in which humans interact with a small self-sufficient ecological environment, and to look at possibilities for future planetary colonization. The $30 million Biosphere covers 2.5 acres near Tucson, Arizona, and was entirely self-contained. The eight 'Biospherian's' shared their air- and water- tight world with 3,800 species of plant and animal life over their two-year stay in the building, producing all of their own food and supporting the whole environment in five 'biomes'; agricultural, rain forest, savannah, ocean and marsh.  1989
