The arrival of the pink flamingo's at Kimberly's Kamfers dam is greeted with much excitement especially this year. The breeding grounds for these beautiful birds was being threatened by pollution. Thankfully it seems that a solution has been found and they have returned in their glory.

This colony is unique as it is among only 4 such colonies in Africa and their numbers can range from anywhere between 20,000 and 50,000 each year. That is so awesome and truly mind blowing. The flamingo's are attracted to the area because of the high algae presence in the dam and their breeding has been encouraged with the building of a man made island in the middle of the dam.

In both instances the encouraged breeding and the birds disappearance were both affected by man. It is truly amazing how much of a direct impact mankind has on our planet and nature and yet we ignore all the signs that our planet needs our help in order to sustain life.

OR - Is there another side to this?

I think there is. Our planet has proven that should the threat of our damage to our planet become too severe, she will simply wipe us out. In life and spirit we need to be able to maintain the balance of our affects on other human beings as well as nature and we should never underestimate the power and strength of God's beautiful planet.
