Critical Decision Time for Humans: Earth's Kyros Moment, learn focus through ...
The founders of the Turtle Island Project believe residents of Earth are facing a Kyros moment because of the abuse of the environment.
Kairos is Greek for seizing the moment.
The Turtle Island Project promotes respect for the planet, nature, wildlife and fellow humans.
Turtle Island Project founders say we can learn a lot from Earth-based cultures like the Celts and Native Americans.
Dr. Cairns said a former of chanting called jubilation (that he demonstrates in this video) helps him focus on the problems he wants to tackle - plus demonstrates the interconnection between humans and the Earth.

Sea monster with teeth 'like cucumbers'
The fossil of a 15 metre long sea monster found in Arctic Norway is the biggest of its kind known to science with dagger-like teeth in a mouth large enough to bite a small car, researchers say.
The 150-million year old pliosaur lived at the time of the dinosaurs and was about 5 metres longer than the previous pliosaur record holder found in Australia.

Save The Sun Bear
Dog bear, Malay bear, and honey bear are common nicknames for the sun bear.

Since they live in a tropical environment, sun bears do not hibernate.

Small sun bear, black bear, and sloth bear populations have been found in eastern India, making this area the only place where three species of bears coexist.
A sun bear's legs are turned inward while walking.
The Malay words for the tree-loving sun bear mean he who likes to sit high.
The sun bear, smallest member of the bear family, lives in the dense lowland forests of Southeast Asia.


Sun bears grow to only about half the size of an American black bear. Males, slightly larger than females, are about 5 feet (1.5 meters) in length and weigh up to 150 pounds (70 kilograms)
Ironically, sun bears are nocturnal. They lumber through the forests by night, snacking on fruits, berries, roots, insects, small birds, lizards, and rodents.
They have an excellent sense of smell and extremely long claws, exceeding four inches (ten centimeters) in length, which they use to rip open trees and termite nests.
They also have an almost comically long tongue for extracting honey from bee nests, giving them their other nickname, honey bear.


Their homelands are being lost rapidly to deforestation, poachers hunt them mercilessly for body parts and fur, and some farmers kill them on site because they often eat crops such as oil palm, coconuts, and bananas. Adult females are also frequently killed so their cubs can be taken and raised as pets. Dog bear, Malay bear, and honey bear are common nicknames for the sun bear.
