App Review...

Miss English was telling us about an app for her new iPad called PDC World Disaster Alerts, it's free and includes lots of information about potential hazards... 

As you can see above here is a screen shot of the app showing you a virtual hazard map, all of these events have been updated very regular and allows you to see events as and when they happen!!

We think this app is well worth a free download from iTunes, for any body interested in geography!!!

Ecosystems under threat??

Poisonous Poachers...

The number of vultures in southern Africa is under threat. They may not be nature’s most glamorous animals but few people realise the important part they play in the eco system.

So what’s happening? Poachers are lacing the dead bodies of rhinos and elephants with poison. As we all know, vultures survive by eating these carcasses, so obviously a major problem has developed. Just one poisoned body kills over 600 vultures! It is worse in mating season as many chicks get killed too, doubling the number to 1200!

What ideas have you got to STOP these poachers? Comment below!
