	Yungaburra
		The 489-hectare Lake Eacham National Park, as with Lakes Barrine and Eacham, is a volcanic crater full of crystal water, surrounded by tropical highland rainforest.
		There is quite a large Swiss Italian community in the area — many came to farm, trade or look for gold and stayed.
		Yungaburra has not altered much since 1910 and except for a discreet alternative lifestyle presence these days, the town emits a strong sense of history.

	Giz Watson MLC: Metropolitan Region Scheme Amendment No 992/33 - Clarkson-Butler: Motion for Disallowance
		On top of that, Neerabup National Park, which would have been part of this connection if the Government had chosen that path, is about to be turned into a piece of Swiss cheese.
		It is part of one of few remaining west-east swathes of natural habitat remaining in the Perth metropolitan region running from the coast, through remnant bush at Tamala Park, to Neerabup National Park.
		The national biodiversity targets for 2001-05 are not being applied by the Department of Environmental Protection or the Environmental Protection Authority for development proposals, with associated clearing being referred to those organisations.

	Communication between elephants voices and sounds
		The biologists observed 1700 elephants in Amboseli National Park, Kenya, for years and recorded the animals' voices.
		As the Swiss newspaper NZZ am Sonntag reported (2 March 2003), researchers at the University of Sussex in Brighton and the Amboseli Elephant Research Project have now found out, however, that this does not appear to be so important for elephants ('Animal Behaviour', Vol.
		Up until now it was assumed that elephants exchanged information over distances of up to 10 kilometres.

	Institute of Plant Sciences - Vegetation Ecology - Tropical forest
		The work continues presently with support from the Swiss National Science Foundation to set up a second large (56-ha plot) in a connecting grove, further phenological studies, extended tree dynamics for mortality and growth, measurement of a plantation trial of 1986 using M. bisulcata, and nursery work on water stress with saplings.
		Dynamics of forest groves dominated by caesalp trees in lowland caesalp-dominated forest in Korup National Park, SW Cameroon, central Africa
		The mast fruiting is related to climatic variability especially the timing and intensity of the dry season in Korup: a fascinating aspect of the forest which links to P-flux (leaf litter - P shunts), to seedling demography and to carbon balance considerations.

	Walking in Norway's Jotunheimen National Park
		My last hurrah for the summer of 1998 was a visit to Scandinavia; or, more particularly, to Norway’s Jotunheimen National Park.
		The Scandinavian peninsula had always interested me—looking at a map of the area, for example, one can’t help but be intrigued by its northerly location, its rugged coastline, and its Swiss-cheese-like topography.
		Perhaps because of its northerly location, almost all of Jotunheimen appeared to be barren and treeless, and on this section of the hike, lime-green lichen clinging to rocks was about the sum total of plant life that I saw.

	National Science Foundation: Boundary Between Earth's Magnetic Field and Sun's Solar Wind Riddled with "Swiss Cheese" Holes
		Satellite observations have shown that the boundary between Earth's magnetic field and the solar wind (known as the magnetopause) is riddled like Swiss cheese, with holes that may reach several miles in diameter.
		According to recent research results by James Drake at the University of Maryland in College Park and other scientists, the intense electric currents generated during magnetic reconnection produce "electron holes," regions where electrons are sparse.
		The holes move in the opposite direction of the prevailing electric current at speeds that can be faster than 1,000 miles per second, or 4 million miles per hour.

	Cultural Resources: Historic Structures and History
		Many of the park's structures are historically significant because of their association with the Great Northern Railway, whose president, Louis Hill, began construction on Swiss-style chalets a year before Glacier was named a national park.
		Despite efforts to rehabilitate Going-to-the-Sun Road and historic lodges, the assessment forecasts that there will likely be no significant improvement in the condition of historic structures and historical research over the next ten years unless bold steps are taken to increase funding for preservation and to focus on the park's history.
		The Park Service also constructed historically significant structures to accommodate park administration, tourism, and the automobile—including Going-to-the-Sun Road, which is one of the most scenic drives on Earth.
