Domesticated cats aren’t indigenous and have a significant impact on wildlife. Scientific consensus supports that domestic cats are an invasive species; they have caused several extinctions, at least 63 vertebrate extinctions, impact native wildlife populations and transmit multiple zoonotic diseases. This magnitude of mortality may exceed all other sources of anthropogenic mortality of birds and mammals.
The Wim Hof method is about controlling stress, increasing oxygen levels in the body, thus alkalising it, making more energy molecules (ATP) and boosting the immune system. These are all of the effects of the method combined in one sentence. Now we’ll go thoroughly, explaining biology and biochemistry of the method, how it affects the …
First a disclaimer: I am not at all an expert in growing indoor plants, or outdoor for that matter. I just use my biological knowledge regarding the state of the plants and their environmental and nutrient requirements. I do my research and got some experience through the years, but there’s a lot of room for …
This post was inspired by the book Breath by James Nestor. Correct breathing influences the body’s biochemistry, body mass and overall health. Conscious deep breathing allows us to reach our nervous system, thus to control immune response and restore health. How we breathe effects the size and function of our lungs. Improving our breathing directly …
There are many environmental organisations out there (I would say thankfully, but just the fact that the earth needs them makes it clear that we’re not in a good situation) and all of them deserve our attention. Here’s a list of the few I follow and have researched so far. These teams do incredible work …
We all know the life cycle of frogs, so we won’t get into details here. Just a quick refreshment: the life cycle of a frog consists of three stages: egg, larva and adult. As the frog grows, it moves through these stages in the process of metamorphosis. The larvae of tailless amphibians (Anura), tadpoles, have …
Growing a pineapple plant (Ananas comosus) from the fruit is very simple and can be easy as well, you just have to pay attention to see to the plant’s needs, which is plenty of moist, but also not too much. Pineapples need a lot of water so it’s hard to over water them if you …
From random seasons and random locations around central Europe. Some photos are far from sharp and good quality, specially those of butterflies – I just don’t dare come too close and scare them away. Apologies. 🙂
I currently keep the following plants: I water them all once a week, each with the same amount of water. Except In December and January it’s every other week only to prevent from complete drying and not to disturb their dormancy. I fertilise them every year in the months from February to June. I add …
