The first Full Moon of 2020, the Wolf Moon is here! According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, the January Full Moon was dubbed the ‘Wolf’ Moon by Native Americans because it occurred at a time of year when wolves would be howling with hunger. The bright full moon light can also produce rainbows at night which are sometimes caused by the refraction of light through ice particles in high altitude clouds. They are called lunar rainbow or 'moonbow'. The uniqueness of 2020 is there are 13 full moons including two full moons in the month of October i.e. Harvest moon and the Blue moon.

Life in the Jungles of Madagascar – Film

Climate change is forcing many island nations, including Madagascar in Africa, to witness erratic weather conditions. The island nations have been experiencing large fluctuations in rainfall patterns and increased temperatures in the last few years. This has an adverse impact on the people and their livelihood.
Climate Change is also a threat to the Royal Bengal Tiger. Some estimates show that in a few decades, the rising sea levels could potentially submerge 70 percent of Sunderbans, the largest mangrove forest in the world and critical tiger habitat. Further, tigers also face unrelenting pressures from poaching, retaliatory killings, and habitat loss across their range. They are forced to compete for space with growing human populations.
Islands provide a crucial habitat for sea turtles species to thrive, including offering nesting grounds. The eggs that Turtles lay, in turn, increase nutrients on beaches, which then promote vegetation growth that stabilizes sand dunes and barrier islands. Furthermore, such stabilized sand dunes and barrier islands help protect human settlements in the coastal belts from severe tropical systems. Unfortunately, this cycle is now disturbed due to various unchecked human activity, including global carbon emissions that have resulted in climate change (global warming and sea-level rise), leading to submersion of islands and critical sea-turtle habitats globally, causing a decline in sea turtle populations by at least 95 percent.
Islands are also home to the giants such as Asian elephants. The island nation of Sri Lanka has the highest density of elephants in Asia — where an estimated 7500 elephants roam the island nation's forests. This video of a strong herd of 70 plus Sri Lankan elephants was taken at the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, which was established by the Sri Lankan Department of Wildlife Conservation in 1975 for feeding and providing care and sanctuary to orphaned and wounded elephants that were found in the wild.
Madagascar is one of the largest and oldest island nations in the world. And it had time to develop an astonishing range of landscapes and species. Totally cut off from the rest of the world, Madagascar has led to a collection of wildlife that is strange, rare, and utterly unique. So rare that more than 80 percent of the species are found nowhere else on Earth, including six species of Baobab (deciduous trees or giant flowering plants), three of which are endangered.
Islands are biodiversity hotspots and home to a range of species, including endemic and critically endangered species. Islands are also the most vulnerable ecosystems with evolutionary histories on Earth. They provide vital support, including food and shelter for species on migration. Today, due to the rising sea level caused by climate change, islands around the world are threatened by submersion.
