FULL COPY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/rvv1
A photographer has captured a series of thought-provoking images of refugees' discarded life jackets and rubber dinghies on the island of Lesbos, Greece.
Photographer Frederic Seguin captured the images that show the impact of the refugee crisis on the small island of Lesvos in Greece.
Lesvos, or Lesbos, is a tourist destinations, known for its landscapes and beaches.
Being very close to Turkey makes Lesvos a strategic entry point for refugees.
Thousands of refugees cross the Aegean Sea every week on tiny dinghy boats to reach the shores of Lesvos and the volume of movement can be seen by the photos of discarded life jackets and boats.

A deceased Gannet ( Morus bassanus) hangs off a rocky ledge after becoming trapped by its feet by discarded marine litter and string and succumbing to starvation
Annual RSPB rescue mission to save gannets trapped by plastic waste on Grassholm Island, Pembrokeshire, Britain - 14 Oct 2015
*Full story: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/ruit
The Pembrokeshire Island of Grassholm is of vital importance to the gannets that swarm there each year to lay their eggs, but their visit throws up a whole host of dangers thanks to the estimated 18 tonnes of plastic waste that litters the island. Each year in October RSPB wardens travel to the island to free the score of birds who became entangled - sometimes fatally - in this rubbish. Wildlife photographer Drew Buckley accompanied a team of volunteers and researchers from Exeter University, along with RSPB wardens Greg and Lisa, on the most recent rescue mission and was shocked by what he saw. Grassholm serves as a breeding site for nearly 40,000 pairs gannets; it is the third largest Atlantic Gannet colony in the world and supports around 10 percent of the world population.

This concept incorporated the emptied shells of Giant Clams (Tridacna) that were found discarded around the island and some being used as ash trays. They were cemented together to create a natural, stable structure on which corals will be able to thrive. Within each clam lies the face of a marine conservationist

A conservationist has built a series of eerie underwater sculptures to warn people of the fragility of the eco-system in Ko Tao, Thailand.
The project, entitled 'Despair' features artificial 'Drowning person' reef sculptures that has been fitted in the waters of the popular Thai island.
This particular project has been conceptualised, designed and built by New Heaven Reef Conservation Program staff member Spencer Arnold.
The structures have been put down in a coral reef that the team at New Heaven have been working to restore for over 7 years.

Puffin tries to tie a knot, Fair Isle, Shetland Islands - Sep 2013
Mandatory Credit: Photo by REX/Mark Sisson (3029265p)
Puffin Tries to Tie The Knot
This puffin looked like it was ready to tie the knot - literally.
Wildlife photographer Mark Sisson captured the seabird appearing to try to thread a piece of discarded string - and succeeding!
The images show the puffin picking up a bit of old fishing nylon and manipulating it with its beak to fashion what is known as an overhand knot.
Mark shot the nimble-beaked bird on Fair Isle, a small island at the southern end of the Shetlands. He was taking pictures for his book The Secret Lives of Puffins, released this month.
Mark explains: "I was staying on Fair Isle, a small island at the southern end of the Shetlands, in late July last year to capture some last summer images for completing the book project that I was working on.
"This particular non-breeding bird just landed on the clifftop in front of me while I was photographing in an area they liked to visit, with this bit of string in its beak: puffins are inveterate fiddlers and love to examine anything unusual which this string clearly was for this bird.
"He wandered up and down for 5 minutes or so, constantly twisting it, putting it down and picking it up, changing its position in his beak and at one point it even seemed his efforts had tied a knot in it.
"Having achieved this he proceeded to take flight with the string still firmly in his beak."

Wildlife photographer Mark Sisson captured the seabird appearing to try to thread a piece of discarded string - and succeeding!
The images show the puffin picking up a bit of old fishing nylon and manipulating it with its beak to fashion what is known as an overhand knot.
Mark shot the nimble-beaked bird on Fair Isle, a small island at the southern end of the Shetlands. He was taking pictures for his book The Secret Lives of Puffins, released this month.
Mark explains: "I was staying on Fair Isle, a small island at the southern end of the Shetlands, in late July last year to capture some last summer images for completing the book project that I was working on.
"This particular non-breeding bird just landed on the clifftop in front of me while I was photographing in an area they liked to visit, with this bit of string in its beak: puffins are inveterate fiddlers and love to examine anything unusual which this string clearly was for this bird.
"He wandered up and down for 5 minutes or so, constantly twisting it, putting it down and picking it up, changing its position in his beak and at one point it even seemed his efforts had tied a knot in it.
"Having achieved this he proceeded to take flight with the string still firmly in his beak."

Soviet era miners' cable car or aerial tramway transportation system in Chiatura, Georgia - Jul 2013

The Soviet Era Cable Cars Not For The Fainthearted
In the steep valley town of Chiatura the public transport system is an engineering spectacle that, today more than ever, is not for the fainthearted.
In the early 20th century, after the seizure of Georgia by the Soviet Union, authorities were intent on building a functioning workers' town to ramp up extraction of Chiatura's vast manganese deposits.
As Soviet planners got to work on the requisite sanitarium and cultural centres, the issue of public transport within the gorge proved less straightforward.
Eventually, in an effort to conquer the town's extreme geography, a network of cable cars or aerial tramways were built to almost every corner of the mining town.
Traditionally, this transported miners from their homes at the bottom of the gorge to the mines that dotted the mountains, and was also used to transport the manganese from mine to factory.
In its heyday Chiatura was responisble for producing 60% of the world's manganese.
Today, while some of the cars have rusted away, seventeen - including the USSR's first passenger tramway- remain in service.
Most tramways in Chiatura use a 'jig back' system where two cabins are connected to the same haulage rope.
An electric motor pulls one cabin down, using that cabin's weight to help pull the other cabin up.
And, while mining isn't quite as prevalent as it once was, the tramway remains a vital resource for locals and the mines still in operation.

Dalmatian pelicans fighting over fish discarded by fishermen on Lake Kerkini, Macedonia, Greece - 2012
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Bill Coster/FLPA / Rex Features (1931665l)
Pugilist Pelicans
With the offer of free fish on the line these pugilist pelicans didn't pull their punches.
Really causing the feathers to fly, the birds turned to violence in an effort to establish a pecking order.
The Dalmatian Pelicans were seen getting into a flap after fishermen discarded some of their catch on Lake Kerkini in Macedonia, Greece.
Photographer Bill Coster captured the moment the birds came to blows in their attempts to snap up the free lunch.
And the hungry flock used their distinctive orange beaks to good effect as they battled it out with what appeared to be an avian form of arm wrestling.
As news about the fishy feast spread more and more pelicans joined the brawl until every available morsel had been swallowed.
Dalmatian Pelicans are one of the largest living bird species, with a wingspan of 9ft 6in-11ft 6in.
Having such a vast frame means they are required to consume a massive 1,200 g (2.6 lb) of fish per day.
Lake Kerkini is an artificial reservoir that was created in 1932.
Today it is considered to be the premier birding site in Greece, and is situated along an important flyway for migratory birds.
The lake is particularly well known for its pelican population, both Dalmatian and White.
The Pelicans winter and breed on the lake using platforms specially built for them.

Mechanical sculptures from discarded items, Milan, Italy - 30 Aug 2012

Mechanical sculptures from discarded items
Rubbish Robots: Mechanical Sculptures From Discarded Items
It looks like the rise of a mini robot army, in fact these are amazing mechanical sculptures made from discarded items.
The works were created by artist Andrea Petrachi AKA Himatic, who takes old broken electronics, used toys and recycled materials and fashions them into robot-like figures.
Highlights include a sculpture fashioned from headphones with a doll's head, several made from cameras and an insect with an electric shaver as a body.
Andrea, 37, from Milan, explains: "I take discarded items, break them into pieces, and, just like solving some puzzle, reassemble them as cool retro-futuristic mechanical sculptures."
The artist says he started disassembling things from a very young age and never grew out of it.
Materials he has used include camera lenses, microscopes, VCR Heads, audio connectors, lamp sockets and swimming goggles.
"My works reflect an interest in the rejects of consumerism and the creatures come from the desire to comment on our out-of-control desire to buy more and more things," says Andrea. "Breathing life into these old objects gives forgotten items a second life."
Calling himself a sculptor in the digital age Andrea says he finds inspiration in old sci-fi movie, comics, music and anime.

Rubbish Robots: Mechanical Sculptures From Discarded Items
It looks like the rise of a mini robot army, in fact these are amazing mechanical sculptures made from discarded items.
The works were created by artist Andrea Petrachi AKA Himatic, who takes old broken electronics, used toys and recycled materials and fashions them into robot-like figures.
Highlights include a sculpture fashioned from headphones with a doll's head, several made from cameras and an insect with an electric shaver as a body.
Andrea, 37, from Milan, explains: "I take discarded items, break them into pieces, and, just like solving some puzzle, reassemble them as cool retro-futuristic mechanical sculptures."
The artist says he started disassembling things from a very young age and never grew out of it.
Materials he has used include camera lenses, microscopes, VCR Heads, audio connectors, lamp sockets and swimming goggles.
"My works reflect an interest in the rejects of consumerism and the creatures come from the desire to comment on our out-of-control desire to buy more and more things," says Andrea. "Breathing life into these old objects gives forgotten items a second life."
Calling himself a sculptor in the digital age Andrea says he finds inspiration in old sci-fi movie, comics, music and anime.
