For Google today, the capital letter"G" represents far more than a"guh" sound, a measurement of gravitational force or a chill way to explain how many thousands of dollars someone has.
You have the leading"G," of course, a view of Turks and Caicos, which Google says is home to important areas of biodiversity and an endangered species of iguana: The rock iguana. There are thus conservation efforts underway in this region, aimed at things like taking care of natural resources in the area and making sure the rock iguana is allowed to thrive in the face of human-induced climate change.
The final two letters in Google's name today, a chasm for an"l" and a winding green grove for an"e" hail from Great Green Wall, Nigeria and Pilbara Islands Nature Reserves, Australia, respectively. The Great Green Wall is associated with an African-led effort to restore land across the country that has been decimated by desertification, or the process by which a slice of land loses its vegetation over time.
