Imagine how our Planet Earth will look from the height that is much, much higher than the highest flight in the sky by any powerful bird. Sparkling with all colors of rainbow with prevaling green and blue, our planet is the most beautiful Nature’s creation, a home for people, animals, birds, fish and other living organisms mankind had ever known.

Researchers around the world constantly explore the Earth and Nature.  Most recently a group of scientists reported a new discovery of 24 new plants and animals in a part of the world known as Suriname ( in the past, Dutch Guyana).  I am not surprised, this discovery is made there because the Central Suriname Natural Preserve is a UNESCO cited place for its unspoiled rainforest biodiversity. The Central Suriname Nature Preserve became a World Heritage site in 2000. More than 80 % of Suriname’s land-mass consists of unspoiled rain forest, which is very rare to be found today anywhere in the world.

Suriname shares the southern border with Brasil and the northern border is the Atlantic coast. Population is about 470.000 people. Intersting fact: this country is only Dutch-speaking region in the Western Hemisphere, particularly in South America, where Spanish and Portuguese languages prevail.  And it is even not a part of the Kingdom of Netherlands.

Today it is Suriname with its new discovery, but tomorrow the same can happen in another part of the world. In the regions where the  nature is still unspoiled, and the scientists continue their constant research, there are many possibilities to find new plants and new species. Our Planet Earth is always at our service and ready for us to discover, inspire, enlighten, teach and give us a motivation to create a new, peaceful, green, useful and positive world, free of wars and disagreements between governments and nations.

Now prepare yourself to be amused. Get your kids, your family, your loved ones around for this spectacular presentation about our planet. Watch alone or with your children. Wonder and remember how our earth and our healthy environment are precious and important. Take this unforgettable tour around the world from the comfort of your home.
