An exhibition of snapshots of rare and unusual plants and animals that highlights the diversity of life around the Riverina region is on show in the Albury Library-Museum from this Saturday 14 to Sunday 22 August. The exhibition, which shows the vital role of biodiversity in sustaining life on Earth, is being held as part of the 2010 International Year of Biodiversity. Photographers and researchers living and working in Albury-Wodonga have donated their work to the exhibition, titled Region’s Best Biodiversity Photographs, to illustrate biodiversity at its best. Visitors will see a water beetle hunting and catching a native fish, aerial photographs of pink algae that stain the landscape, goannas wrestling in a battle for dominance as well as rarely seen reptiles, frogs and mammals. A story is attached to each of the 24 images in the display, which is linked to other events being held in the region.
