This site is dedicated to those who love the earth, and  who dream and hope for  the day when  environmental pollution, murder and destruction
               are but distant memories.
 It features the fantasy coral reef paintings of Lee James Pantas and is also a science-based resource website for those
               who realize we are in a war for the future of  humanity. The battle lines are being  drawn in our world today between those who love and cherish
                                                         the earth and those who don't. If you  are one of those who care, then this site is for you.

Another type of murder
in the Cayman Islands

THE OUTRAGE:

Rare Cayman Islands Blue Iguanas Found Slaughtered

Slaughtered Cayman Blue IguanasHalf a dozen of the most endangered reptiles on the planet, the Cayman Blue Iguana, were found slaughtered on the Grand Cayman Island, where they are being bred in captivity to save the species from extinction. Almost half of the breeding population were wiped out. Almost certainly the work of humans, this barbaric act once again reminds us that stupidity and ignorance,  right along with habitat destruction and climate change, are very real factors that threaten the very fabric of life on earth.
