SNBison battle through the winter snow
A snow-covered bison battles blistering winds and harsh winter conditions. The large animal, which has a specially adapted fleece to keep warm, was photographed enduring brutal weather in the USA.
The images were taken by Peter Batty in Yellowstone Park, which sees tremendous blizzards in the winter. Mr Batty, 61, is a retired software executive who moved from the UK to Denver in the US. SEE OUR COPY FOR DETAILS. (FOTO: DUKAS/SOLENT NEWS)

The rangers turning the DRC's 'triangle of death' back into a thriving wildlife reserve, Upemba.
Conflict nearly wiped out its large animals, but local determination is bringing Upemba park back from the brink.
Upemba, which lies in the south-east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), once teemed with wildlife. At its height, tens of thousands of elephants were thought to roam the park, which was Africa's largest when Belgian colonial administrators created it in 1939. Lions, zebras and other mammals were abundant.
The years of government neglect and militia conflict almost wiped out the large animals. By the late 2000s, the lions had vanished. Elephants were hunted until only about 150 remained. And the number of zebras in Upemba - the only place in the DRC where they are found in the wild - fell to a perilously low 35.
Instability and violence have long plagued conservation efforts in the DRC, where armed groups use unbroken expanses of jungle or savannah as hideouts.

The rangers turning the DRC's 'triangle of death' back into a thriving wildlife reserve, Upemba.
Conflict nearly wiped out its large animals, but local determination is bringing Upemba park back from the brink.
Upemba, which lies in the south-east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), once teemed with wildlife. At its height, tens of thousands of elephants were thought to roam the park, which was Africa's largest when Belgian colonial administrators created it in 1939. Lions, zebras and other mammals were abundant.
The years of government neglect and militia conflict almost wiped out the large animals. By the late 2000s, the lions had vanished. Elephants were hunted until only about 150 remained. And the number of zebras in Upemba - the only place in the DRC where they are found in the wild - fell to a perilously low 35.
Instability and violence have long plagued conservation efforts in the DRC, where armed groups use unbroken expanses of jungle or savannah as hideouts.

Power to the people? Bolivia's hunt for gas targets national parks - and divides communities
Fossil fuel exports were meant to fund a revolutionary leftist agenda. But the stateÕs move to drill in Tariquia reserve has led to bitter conflict and diminishing returns.
Remoteness helped preserve Tariquia. But this protected area is now the frontline for BoliviaÕs extractive activities, as the leftist government of Luis Arce scours the country for gas reserves that could keep its fossil-fuel model of development running.

Galean, who signed the YPFB agreement on behalf of San Antonio community, says the state has yet to deliver its side of the agreement. ÒThey said that our lives would improve. And weÕre rural people; we have great necessities. We want our lives to be better.ÓFossil fuel exports were meant to fund a revolutionary leftist agenda.
