The Most Devastating Drought in Spain; Seaweed Cover Caribbean Bay; The Icon of New Zealand is In Danger; The Dog Superintendent.

Spain had 36% of the average rainfall in March, and it caused the second driest March in this century. The drought continued into last month, and we may see the driest weather in Spain. According to the coordinator and ranchers organization, the drought has affected 60% of Spain’s countryside.
One of the biggest reservoirs in Spain is Sau Reservoir. Since the drought, it only has 10% of its capacity. The medieval church nearby is normally submerged so that you could barely see its tip. But now it’s on land. In addition, it might be worse once Summer’s hit sets in.
One of the cities had no rain in a year. They have to get water trucked in. And they are required to conserve water by doing fewer showers and being mindful when doing the dishes.
The long period of drought caused the most of Farmland to dry up. This Spaniard farmer worried the grains were supposed to be milky. And he added, if it wouldn’t rain in the upcoming week, there would be no crop. But, there’s no rain in sight.
With the concern of drought and skyrocketing temperature, the scientists of the Institute of agri-food research and Technology are working on a way to make a wardrobe of water last longer.
+) Huge amount of seaweed blob, also known as Surggasme, is inundating South Florida stretching the west coast of Africa. It’s been decaying out on the land making a smell of rotten egg and sulfur. Some scientists stated this ominous circumstance as the tip of the iceberg, considering that there are five thousand miles long of seaweed on the sea.
+) New Zealand’s iconic flightless bird, Kiwi, has plummeted. The plan to save them is taking off in New Zealand. They made 90 initiatives to protect them from danger. But Kiwis are tough and resilient enough to fight off stoats and possums with their strong claws. One thing that threatens them is roaming dogs. They eat all of the chicks so that Kiwis can't get up to fighting weight.
Through the Kiwi Project Team’s hard work, when they did the health check on them they found they were growing up well. Even one of them get a whopping 400 pounds of weight, which was a pleasing outcome.
+) Here’s a superintendent dog, Betty Faith, who was rescued from a tough breeding and hoarding situation. Now he’s a B.A.R.K. ranger Superintendent of Gateway Arch National Park. Each one stands for these. B; Bag your pet’s waste, A; Always leash your pet. R; Respect wildlife. K; Know where you can go.
