  MARBURG VIRUS: EBOLA’S FORGOTTEN BROTHER. MARBURG HAEMORRHAGIC FEVER: THE GERMAN NAME FOR A KILLER FROM THE AFRICAN RAIN FOREST        “A hot virus from the rain forest lives within a twenty-four hour plane flight from every city on earth. All of the earth’s cities are connected by a web of airline routes. The web is a network. Once a virus hits the net, it can shoot anywhere in a day – Paris, Tokyo, New York, Los Angeles, wherever planes fly.” -Richard Preston, The Hot Zone      In 1994,one non-fictional book was published and immediately became the bestseller. The investigative journalist Richard Preston came out with the perfect story dragged out the darkness of the African rain forests. The Hot Zone made the hot atmosphere all over the world since it was based on the true events and since it revealed many scientific concerns and hopes.

  THE RETURN OF THE RULER: EBOLA VIRUS ON RISE. UGANDA AND ITS FIGHT WITH EBOLA SUDAN “We must act now to prevent further spread of EBOLA VIRUS. If we do not act collectively, EBOLA VIRUS will wipe all whole populations and generations into their grave. The call to action is now.”  ― Lailah Gifty Akita      There are numerous articles that I wrote about Ebola virus but each time I do research about this microbe, I feel some kind of dual feelings, admiration and fear at the same time.

It is cold and the nature doesn’t show the mercy for the rest of the living animals that are walking back and forth, trying to find shelter, before it is too dark, before it is too late. The Island Ellesmere, the Canada northernmost edge, the new universe of life under harsh conditions, the place where white wolves have their freedom and wildness but also responsibility to survive, without being hunted and haunted by people. Credit by: Britannica      The Canadian far away point, the pearl of ice wilderness and the miracle of darkness is known to be one of the most cruelest place on the Earth. This depends a lot on the climate situation and the circulation of the light. We shouldn’t forget that the Ellesmere

  THE GOLDEN BROWN GARDEN: WILDLIFE NEEDS SUPPORT HELPING GARDEN WILDLIFE IS A MUST      I have already written about the change of the seasons and need for helping our garden wildlife, each time when long summer nights are being replaced with short days. Nevertheless, somehow I believe it is good to bring reminder annually how crucial is to think about garden animals ( visible and invisible ) at this time of the year. Each of us who has garden or, at least, one corner of nature knows that garden beauty is flying smooth through all 4 seasons, but autumn and winter bring special challenge for our animal friends.      As someone who is in love with magnificent portray of fall, I am also aware of the risks that it creates for the local wildlife and its daily life. The autumn is just a golden brown period between summer paradise and winter ice silence. The preparation phase for all of us, to get rid of summer wild vibes and to jump into winter cozy tranquility.
