SaveNature News!

There have been a lot of exciting new updates in the past month.



SaveNature.Org has now joined the gamer ranks of many other non-profits with its very own application, Save the Reef! For all of you FaceBook users, go look up our new game created by Earth Guard and have fun playing to save your very own reef. You can decorate with cute fish, coral and other marine creatures or stop further damage from occuring to your or your friends' reefs. You can also make donations towards SaveNature.Org's Adopt A Reef program, which will go to Palau Micronesia's protected area.



Another bit of news is that our lab now has a healthy population of Thai Sticks! With a purchase of a new environmental chamber and lots of TLC our Thai Stick eggs have finally emerged from a long dormancy of SEVERAL YEARS. We have slowly been brining a few out as a part of our Insect Discovery Lab as a new edition and they are quickly stealing the spotlight.

Longest Walking Stick Found!

WOAH!

The Longest walking stick in the world was found in Boreno, Malaysia! Leave it to NPR to run the story on the Phobaeticus chani, meaning "Chan's megastick" named for its finder Datuk Chan Chun Lun. The stick took over the previously named longest stick Phobaeticus kirbyi by a whole inch. Chan's megastick measures to 22 inches all together with it's legs. The body is 14 inches alone!
