There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Gotta mention the recent drastic changes in Venice (some of the popular photos/videos are from adjoining areas though) here! Coronavirus lockdown has transformed La Serenissima’s waterways & coastal waters.





The apparent cleanliness of the water is not in fact due to a lack of pollution, but the reason is the absence of motorised transport, which normally churns up the muddy canal floor.
With the water-traffic halted & tourists gone, the canals got a clear view of the sandy bed, but shoals of tiny fish, scuttling crabs and multicoloured plant-life.

Birds like cormorants & ducks, have returned to dive for fish they can now see.

As its common with social media, some claims are over the top though.
Swans were already regular visitors in canals of Burano, an island in the bay of Venice. Marine wildlife, like dolphins, would sometimes enter the bay, but the supposedly recent video was actually filmed last year.

The Venice lagoon is a fragile ecosystem... If possible then after this crisis blows over, they should keep some parts off limits.
