For all developing countries over the period 1961–99, expansion of harvested land contributed only 29% to growth in crop production versus the contribution of increases in yields, which amounted to 71%; in sub-Saharan Africa, however, yield increases accounted for only 34% of growth in production.

Eighteen sub-global assessments were approved as components of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA). These were not designed to provide a scientific sample of any feature of ecosystems or human well-being. Instead, the choice of assessment locations was determined by a combination of interest in undertaking the assessment, interest in using the findings, and availability of resources to undertake the assessment.

GEF learning mission to Burkina Faso to observe and understand how the Integrated Ecosystem Management approach used in combating natural resources degradation.
This publication is the second of a series "Knowledge from the field" which aims at sharing the lessons captured by the GEF staff while performing a portfolio monitoring and learning review activity.
Government partners will be the main users of findings coming from the learning review process. Analysis and lessons derived from the learning missions will be used to improve focal area strategies and policies, and inform project design and implementation as well as feed into GEF’s knowledge management initiative.
Trees are of continued importance to the environment. Tropical rain forests have of particular significance; although they now occupy less than 6 per cent of the land surface of the earth they probable sustain more than half of the biological species on the planet.
This is the largest scale of wildfire I've ever seen. The three fires, which form a complex fire, is caused by lightnings and is not suppressed for healthy forest.
Ambyvalley road,Lonavala,Mah.,India
This is the famous Aamby Valley Road leading upto AmbyValley City,a gated community. a distance of 25 kms. end to end in Mulshi Taluka,Pune District of Maharashtra State in India, about 100km. from Mumbai.This is my playground,my ecosystem.Though all the flora and fauna pics,so far ,has been around my house,which is in a 200 acre property,situated on the edge of a cliff,commanding a panoramic view,surrounded by thick forest, with few bungalows and mercifully least impacted.But beyond this lies a vast virgin,undisturbed,forest area which I believe sustains a lot of unique flora and fauna.Though not a protected sanctuary and a lot of human activity,this hinterland still retains its originality.That it is 3000 ft.above msl,tucked away in the Sahyadris/Westernghats,with its unique topography, considered a "biodiversity hotspot"is a added impetus for me.It has been couple of years of photography some good,some bad and some utterly ugly,but immensely satisfying..But their is a lot of ground to cover,literally,and learn and discover Nature.
The Arctic plays host to a vast array of biodiversity, including many globally significant populations. Included among these are more than half of the world´s shorebird species, 80% of the global goose populations, several million reindeer and caribou, and many unique mammals, such as the polar bear. During the short summer breeding season, 279 species of birds arrive from as far away as South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and South America to take advantage of the long days and intense period of productivity. Several species of marine mammals, including grey and humpback whales, and harp and hooded seals, also migrate annually to the Arctic.

For the first time an ecosystem survey with R/V Dr. Fridtjof Nansen will be conducted in the coastal area of Gabon. Identification and abundance of birds, whales, fish, phytoplankton, zooplankton and benthos will be conducted in the period from 9-23 May. In addition environmental parameters such as temperature, salinity, current, chlorophyll and oxygen will be measured. A reception was help onboard the vessel before the start of the cruise and the Minister of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Food Security, the governor of Port Gentil, and the FAO representative in Central Africa, were among the distinguished guest.

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory scientists are among a team developing new ways to study the changing arctic ecosystem.
The Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments (NGEE) will study the response to physical, ecological, and biogeochemical processes to atmosphere and climate change from the molecular to the landscape scale.

Back from another trip to the mountains, and off to the swamp in a few minutes. I'm WAY behind in processing photos since I've been outside more than inside (not complaining). As a break from plant pics, here are a couple from a hike to Catawba Falls, on the upper reaches of the Catawba River, in Pisgah National Forest near Old Fort, McDowell County, North Carolina.
My new ecosystem notebook. I needed a new pocket-sized book, and this little guy was a less expensive, more environmentally friendly version of a Moleskine. It also came in black, but I decided to go for some colour this time around.

Spotted during a surveillance flight Monday, manatees are taking refuge from the cold weather in a mitigation feature built by SFWMD just south of Port of the Islands in Collier County.
Completed in April 2016, the three deep pools ensure the local manatee population continues to have a warm water refuge in the Port of the Islands area that’s compatible with restoration efforts at Picayune Strand. When complete, the CERP project will re-establish a more natural flow of water to 55,000 acres of wetlands and uplands in the Western Everglades.
