My series of photographs focuses on environmental degradation affecting everyday life. Since last one hundred years, the equation between natural resources and human population has seriously gone wrong resulting in chaotic imbalance of ecosystems and human societies. The world faces dearth of food and space for human population; as a result the burden results in rapid deforestation, invasion of wild spaces, global warming, and land erosion. Excessive consumption of fossil fuel causes environmental warming.
This phenomenon is outrageously rampant in Pakistan because of lacking awareness. Our glaciers are receding, valleys becoming polluted and agricultural lands being colonized to accommodate ever bulging population. My photographs (multiple exposure technique) provoke the viewer to concentrate on invasive role of increasing local tourism in polluting glacial landscapes, rivers, lakes and mountain valleys. Heaps of non biodegradable plastic bags and bottles not only litter surroundings but also mark irreversible effects on environmental preservation.

Within the former German-Soviet Environmental Agreement in the years 1989-1991 3 biological expeditions to the Taymyr peninsula in northernmost Siberia were performed. They laid the ground for a partnership agreement between the Taymyrsky Zapovednik (nature reserve) and the Schleswig-Holstein Waddensea National Park and later the establishment (1993) of the Great Arctic Reserve (Zapovednik). The Taymyr peninsula is covered by the most extensive and northernmost tundra habitats in Siberia. These enormous wetlands are used during the short Arctic summer by millions of waterbirds, which winter in Southern Europe, Southern Asia and Africa. The biodiversity of the Taymyr peninsula is with 20% well covered with different kinds of protected areas. However, there may be need to connect them by South-North corridors to secure adaptation of biodiversity moving North with climate change. With increased warming and thawing of tundra massive release of methane stored in the ground could trigger further climate change.

Make no mistake, we all deserve a pat on the back. The GOP is making a janky attempt at a coup, but it is in vain. Biden won. A stellar outcome.
It was a heroic effort on the part of ordinary American voters and poll watchers and administrators at the local level. Every single county. We pulled off (in the middle of a pandemic) a free and fair and relatively frictionless election. And one, that if you believe in democracy, revealed that Trump has many many voters. To us* who have been reviled by Trump and who were hoping for a landslide, the results of the votes are that Trump has not been repudiated in a landslide---there are lots and lots and lots of Trump voters in this country. If you accept election as reality, you have to accept that reality too.
Which leads me to this question. How did one of the two major parties in a rich, functioning democracy become such an unrepentantly illiberal and extremist party? How did this happen?
And what exactly, is the future, of disinformation?
How did MAGA succeed so wildly? We now have a huge swath of the US population radicalized against any form of ordinary European social welfare of the kind that our peers enjoy.
If McConnell holds on to the senate, because we're not successful in winning both runoff races in Georgia, the number of things that can happen for Biden legislatively is sadly, tragically, infinitesimal.
And McConnell won't care. Unemployment can go up. The pandemic can rage. The deficit can get out of control. Senior administration officials and even cabinet positions not being filled––he doesn't care. He just doesn't care.
So we have to make moves. Please volunteer an hour of your time, if you can. The site below will help you reach out to voters (some of them first time voters) directly via text or call.
The experience of living in America in 2020 is of living in two completely distinct countries with two different sets of facts and realities that are geographically coincident. Not entirely maybe (cities are more blue, rural areas are more red) but, you know, you can live cheek by jowl with people who have just a completely different apprehension of what is going on in the world and what is true.
It is most distressing, but there is only one way to steer the ship in the direction of progress (think human rights, climate policy) and that my friends, is to act.
"Stop The Steal" rally courtesy disinformation campaign, origins Roger Stone:
*Us, as in those of us who condemn Trump's myriad abuses of power but also recognize that a federal prosecution case against him is a bad idea. It will further martyr him amongst his base, and bring yet more media coverage to Trump, a subject none of us wants to endure more of frankly.
And to make things fair, here’s just another take:

The Arctic represents one of the least populated areas in the world, with only sparse settlements and very few large cities and towns - in comparison with e.g. continental Europe. The largest cities are in Northwest Russia, and Reykjavik is the only national capital in the Arctic. The extraction of natural resources has emerge as a main interest and priority in the Arctic region, and this may cause increases and shifts in population.

A pall of wildfire smoke two counties to the north hangs on the horizon. Our AQI has fluctuated with shifting winds due to many fires around the state.
Not that it makes up for the misery climate change is visiting upon us all, however... This Honduran banana variety requires 18 months of non-freezing weather in order to provide ripe fruit. In past years, we only rarely got a bunch before the cold South Texas winter killed off the banana stalks. This hot year, however, our trees are loaded with fruit.

Temperature: Predicting the climate in mountainous regions is particularly difficult due to the complex topography. Mountains create diverse microclimates, which require high density of measurement. The distinct local differences also require high-resolution climate models, which are scarce. The consensus among the existing models, however, predicts that the Western Balkans will experience substantial warming throughout the twenty-first century. This regional warming will be higher than the worldwide average (World Bank 2014). In Europe generally, warming is expected to increase with altitude (Kotlarski et al., 2011), and some National Communications (including those of Serbia and Montenegro) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) also indicate that the highest warming will occur within the mountainous regions of these West Balkan countries. According to a regional model based on the medium emission scenario, the Eastern Mediterranean is expected to be 3.5–7°C warmer by the end of the twenty-first century, with the highest daytime increases found in the Balkans (Lelieveld et al., 2012). Another model based on a high emission scenario predicts 5–8°C of warming in the Eastern Mediterranean in summer, again predicting the Western Balkans to receive the highest warming (Önol and Semazzi, 2009). Extremely warm days are particularly damaging to human life. What are currently regarded as extremely hot summers will become the norm in 2100. By this time, the warmest summer on record from 2007 will become among the 5 per cent coldest (Lelieveld et al., 2013). Days over 35°C are expected to increase by two weeks in the Balkan Mountains and one month in the region. The same model projects winter temperatures to rise by 3°C. Precipitation: The Western Balkans will witness a significant decrease in annual precipitation. However, projections for precipitation are not as clear or regular as predictions of temperature. The expected precipitation decrease is more pronounced in high emission scenarios than low-emission scenarios and is particularly strong in the summer (Önol and Semazzi, 2009). In winter, on the contrary, precipitation will increase in the mountains and the region in general (Kotlarski et al., 2011; Lelieveld et al., 2012). The annual number of rainy days could decrease by 10–20 days in a medium emission scenario by the end of the twenty-first century. No increase in extreme precipitation events are expected in the region (Kharin et al., 2013); however, flooding is predicted to become more frequent due to more precipitation in winter causing spring floods (Islami et al., 2009).

The first destination of the German-Soviet expedition in 1989 was the Zapovednik (nature reserve) "Taymyrsky", in central Taymyr peninsula in the north of Krasnoyarsky Krai, established in 1979. Except the main area the Zapovednik includes also three isolated sites "Ary-Mas", "Lukunsky", "Balakhinsky". The total area is 1781,9 thousand ha. The Taymyr peninsula is covered by the most extensive and northernmost tundra habitats in Siberia. These enormous wetlands are used during the short Arctic summer by millions of waterbirds, which winter in Southern Europe, Southern Asia and Africa. The biodiversity of the Taymyr peninsula is with 20% well covered with different kinds of protected areas.

17th April 2016 …Fegino- Genoa -Italy…
At 7:30 p.m. approximately, a pipe of a pipeline owned bythe company
Iplom broke and 600,000 gallons of oil were poured into the streams of
the area, Pianego Stream, Fegino Stream, and Polcevera Stream to finally
head to the sea. A huge ecological and environmental disaster. The pipes
of this company are buried in the ground for km, from the Petroleum Port
of Genoa Multedo, to the refinery located in Busalla, and partly buried
inside the bed of these two streams, for over 50 years, without any
protection in the event of breakage. The Fegino Deposit is served by the
pipes buried in the river bed. For many years the citizens have
denounced the difficult cohabitation with the deposit located a few
meters away from houses and schools. The annoying miasmas exhaled during
handling operations of crude oil and its derivatives stored here have
been repeatedly reported to the authorities. They limit the lives of the
residents, but they are not considered to be harmful to health because
emission limits do not exceed the threshold of concern, even if the
quality of life of the citizens is significantly threatened. The
disaster is now under investigation, but what is certain is that it has
jeopardized environment and ecosystem of the streams and the lives of
people living here.
Fegino is part of a suburban area of Genoa, the Valpolcevera, which,
since the second half of the 19^th Century, has seen the birth of
several industries. Over time, oil, steel, mechanical industries have
established their headquarters here, fact that has altered environment
and landscape and threatened the health of residents of this valley. The
disposal of many industries could have been an opportunity for a revival
of this area, still battered by the logic of the great rail lines and
highways that, moreover, have no meaningful data to support them as far
as costs and benefits are concerned.
It is time to seek an environmentally friendly conversion of these oil
companies who are too often a source of concern and environmental
disasters and threats to the health of citizens because we should
finally think about the future of our planet.
This is way we strongly committed to join the "Breackfree" initiative,
meeting up on Saturday, May 14, 2016, together with other associations
and committees, when we will surround the Iplom Fegino Deposit with a
red ribbon in order to highlight the danger and to underline the need
for health, environment and safe and healthy workplace to go hand in hand.
