Whale shark sucks fish out of hole in fishing net - Conservation International (CI)
- 1 year ago
- 2,521,637 views
http://www.conservation.org
On a recent expedition to Indonesia's Cendrawasih Bay, Conservation International's Mark Erdmann learned how whale sharks often congregate around bagan (lift net) fishing platforms to eat the small silverside baitfish that the fishers are targeting. The sharks have also learned how to "suck" the fish out of holes in the nets!
This can be dangerous — but the local fishers like the sharks, considering them good luck, and are working to modify the net designs to prevent sharks from entering.

Scientists free a whale shark from a fishing net in Indonesia - Conservation International (CI)
- 1 year ago
- 587,035 views
In Indonesia's Cendrawasih Bay, whale sharks often congregate around bagan (lift net) fishing platforms to eat the small silverside baitfish that the fishers are targeting. Sometimes the sharks swim right into the nets and become entangled. Local fishermen are considering modifying the lift net design in a way that prevents the sharks from entering. -

The Kayapó maintain a traditional way of life and protect one of the world's most important rainforests at the same time. Just as they need the forest intact to live, so do we need it to mitigate climate change and provide a wealth of biodiversity to the world.

Mimic octopus pretending to be a flatfish - Conservation International (CI)
- 3 years ago
- 335,440 views
http://www.conservation.org
Rather than relying on camoflage which would make it blend in with the seafloor, mimic octopuses evade predators by imitating the shape, pattern, and movements of flatfish. Our scientists are intrigued by this ususually conspicuous defense mechanism and CI-Indonesia's Crissy Huffard has published a paper about this species in "Biological Journal of the Linnean Society", August 2010.

Protect your own acre now http://www.conservation.org/ProtectAnAcre
Harrison Ford demonstrates -in a personal way- the pain of deforestation. The burning and clearing of forests is a major cause of global climate change, emitting some 20% of total greenhouse gas emissions - more than all the world's cars, trucks, and airplanes combined.
