Chacachacare was also the site of a US Army base, a leper colony, and before that, a whaling station. Tobago of course bears a closer geological relation to the aforementioned Netherlands Antilles than it does to Trinidad.

Apart from issues like combating elephant poaching for ivory in Africa and banning trade in polar bear skins, those focusing on sharks and tuna are likely to be among the most contentious. Interesting to see Japan and Australia united on some issues, in contrast to their conflict over whaling.

Our campsite was gorgeous North Lake State Park in the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York, where the air is crisp, the forests are largely intact, and the bears force you to be careful about leaving food out when you go to sleep. You’ll remember Javi from whale-watching. In other words, it is an awesome place.

4 The Love Of Animals

MAY 14, 2012

We loved seeing penguins, whales, polar bears, and wolves. We have loved seeing places that few people ever get to see, and learning about the interesting wildlife that lives there. We watched in amazement as a furry caterpillar froze and thawed each year until finally becoming a moth at age 14!

Dale studied scarlet macaws, and worked in their conservation, for three years in southern Costa Rica, followed by a year in the Caribbean working on Whale Sharks. Might I assume that women typically bear fewer children, or fewer survive? In this case, they would be exhibiting polyandry.
