Charles Darwin's Great-Great Grandson Makes His Own Discoveries

Charles Darwin's son, Chris Darwin, recently took part in a "Bio-Blitz" on a property 350Km north of Perth, Western Australia. The property, largely purchased by Chris Darwin in 2003 using funds inherited from his famous Great-Great Grandfather's estate, used to be White Wells Station, and is rich in bio-diversity. Amazingly, 52 per cent of the nation's rare and threatened plant species occur in this region, and Charles Darwin Reserve, run by Bush Heritage Australia, has a huge diversity of species within its 68,600 hectares - larger than Singapore!
"Bio-Blitz", organised by Earthwatch, was an intensive week-long gathering of scientists and volunteers from around Australia who combed the reserve in search of existing, new and rare plant and animal species. These pictures show some of the scientists and volunteers as they scour the bush for specimens large and small.
