The Adaptation Fund has launched a photo contest under the theme of “Adapting Coasts and Watersheds”. The contest is open to the public and the submission period runs from April 22 to June 3, 2016.
Theme: Adapting Coasts and Watersheds
With 50% of the world’s population living within 60 km of the sea and 75% of all large cities located by the ocean, coastal areas are a major source for livelihoods through fishing, other natural resources, boating, trade, tourism and recreation. But coastal areas are under increasing pressure from climate change (sea rise, rising water temperature, storm intensification, flooding and erosion) and pollution, which makes them one of the hot spots for adaptation activities as seen in the Adaptation Fund’s project portfolio.
Furthermore, important inland watersheds are equally threatened by climate change-related droughts, floods, and extreme rainfall variability, as well as damaged natural protective ecosystems like degraded forests, wetlands, grasslands and polluted rivers from runoff or contamination. Adaptation efforts to enhance both urban and rural water resources management through projects that reduce disaster risks, increase forest protection, biodiversity conservation, water harvesting, drip irrigation agriculture and landslide control all have tremendous benefits in improving the watershed’s sustainability.
The Adaptation Fund encourages people to depict the effects of climate change and adaptation actions already taking place or that are urgently needed on coasts and inland watersheds. The theme can cover environmental, urban and rural environments and may include a human element to convey people’s dependence on coasts and river watersheds and the importance of maintaining these life-giving habitats.
How to participate
Participate in the contest by sending your photo to afbsec@adaptation-fund.org with the subject line ‘Photo Contest’ by June 3, 2016.
The contest is open to the public, i.e. all those aged 18 and above, including people in the Adaptation Fund partner organizations.

The other day I picked up a book from the Arcola Theatre Coffee Bar's 'swap shelf'. The title 'Contested Landscapes' caught my eye. It's academic and outside of my normal range. The blurb on the back told me 'Landscapes are not just backdrops to human activity; people make them and are made by them.' My curiosity was aroused. I borrowed the book. Now I open a page at random and read: 'Landscapes contain the traces of past activities and people select the stories they tell, the memories and histories they evoke, the narratives that they weave, to further their activities in the present-future'.
Meanwhile, around the corner in Dalston Lane the developers have arrived . . .

" La Abuela mi Amor" in honor of my grandmother Charlotte K. Diss ( Nov. 1 1908- Dec. 7, 2008). She is a true love and inspiration for me.
I choose a "dia de los muertos" folk art style to help my heart to Celebrate her passing.
The Veil is made up of photographs honoring her young flirtatious spirit adorned with milagros. The rosary was hers as a child.
The red lips represent her love of lipstick. "you are not dressed until you put on your lipstick"
The red roses represent the Virgin de Guadalupe one of my favorite images. My grandmother was buried on Dia de la Virgin de Guadalupe Dec. 12th.
This statue will be a wonderful addittion to our Dia de los Muertos altar this year.
