FRA - BRITTANY - AN AUTONOMOUS COMMUNITY IN CENTRAL BRETAGNEIn the remote countryside of central Brittany, at the end of a road that the GPS has difficulty pointing out, one ends up reaching the place called Kerlanic, called by its residents "Oasis Kerlanic". He was nicknamed that because, for someone who tries to escape the frenzy of our society, it is as if he were in the desert and found, in the middle of nowhere, an oasis.It is a place where we live in autonomy and in harmony with nature, a place where everyone is welcome and who preaches an alternative lifestyle.FRA - BRETAGNE - UNE COMMUNAUTÉ AUTONOME EN CENTRE BRETAGNEDans la campagne reculée du Centre Bretagne, au bout dune route que le GPS peine à indiquer, on finit par atteindre le lieu-dit Kerlanic, appelé par ses résidents « Oasis Kerlanic ».

Wildlife biologist intern Ale Larranaga holds a red-eared slider turtle egg she removed from a nest July 26, 2022. The red-eared tail slider eggs are distinctive by their soft shell, which dimples easily under pressure. Wildlife biologists with the Portland District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regularly look for and remove red-eared slider turtles and their eggs from Willamette Valley Corps locations because the species is invasive and competes with native turtles for food and habitat, especially nesting sites.
