A few years before giving up its independence, Scotland took a bold gamble to secure a brighter future, founding a colony on the isthmus of Panama to corner trade between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. The 1698 venture ended in tragedy, helping to push Scotland into political union with England and form the United Kingdom. But had it succeeded, Scots might have no need to vote in the referendum on independence this coming September. picture taken on April 4, 2014.

Rajen Sookhareea from Mauritius' National Parks and Conservation Service holds echo parakeets in Black River, Mauritius, April 16, 2008. Once famous for the extinction of the dodo, Mauritius has had remarkable conservation success since then, using intensive and cutting edge techniques to save several species including the pink pigeon and the Mauritius echo parakeet. Part of the problem for many of these birds is that they evolved without any natural predators, making them vulnerable to the arrival of man some 400 years ago. Picture taken April 16, 2008.

But, in a rare success story, a two-decade conservation programme in a wooded corner of Mauritius has brought the Echo Parakeet back from the brink of extinction.
