“Restoration of the forests on Mount Parnonas and conservation guidelines for Mount Taygetos in Lakonia” (EL0035)
Protecting the environment
Improving the value of our mountains
The Region of Peloponnese hosts important ecosystems, such as this on mountain Taygetos.
The landscape on the mountains is among the most beautiful in Greece, where nature harmoniously blends with traditional architecture and cultural monuments.
This wealth we have the duty to protect. Our policies to conserve forests, nature and biodiversity should put protected areas under a two-fold perspective; on the one hand as a pillar for development and on the other hand as a crucial environmental antidote in the service of our fight against climate change at local and global levels.
The environmental policies should be seen on a new basis that would both ensure ecosystem conservation and promote sustainable development.
PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The project aims to promote the sustainable management of the mountain area of Messinia by establishing three (3) lake tanks (reservoirs) and six (6) water tanks in Messinia, in order to offer an effective fire protection system.

Πιλοτική Ολοκληρωμένη Παρέμβαση για την Αντιπυρική Προστασία και Αποκατάσταση των Πληγέντων Περιοχών του Ν. Μεσσηνίας
Προστατεύουμε το Περιβάλλον
Η Περιφέρεια Πελοποννήσου φιλοξενεί σημαντικά οικοσυστήματα, όπως αυτό στην οροσειρά του Ταϋγέτου.
Το τοπίο του Ταϋγέτου είναι από τα πιο όμορφα στην Ελλάδα, όπου η φύση δένει αρμονικά με την παραδοσιακή αρχιτεκτονική και τα πολιτιστικά μνημεία.
Αυτός ο πλούτος έχουμε το καθήκον να τον προστατεύσουμε. Οι πολιτικές μας για τη διατήρηση των δασών, τη φύση και τη βιοποικιλότητα θα πρέπει να θέσει προστατευόμενων περιοχών στο πλαίσιο μιας διττής προοπτικής: Αφενός ως πυλώνα για την ανάπτυξη και από την άλλη πλευρά, ως ζωτικής σημασίας περιβαλλοντικά αντίδοτο στην υπηρεσία του αγώνα μας κατά της κλιματικής αλλαγής σε τοπικό και παγκόσμιο επίπεδο.
Οι περιβαλλοντικές πολιτικές θα πρέπει να εξεταστούν σε νέα βάση που θα εξασφαλίζει τόσο τη διατήρηση των οικοσυστημάτων όσο και την προώθηση της αειφόρου ανάπτυξης.

Efforts to improve food security and nutrition have contributed to dramatic declines in forest and other natural ecosystems and rapid increases in contact rates between human and wild and domestic animals. Since 1940, agricultural drivers were associated with more than one quarter of all infectious diseases—and more than half of all zoonotic infectious diseases—that emerged in humans. Current risks of infectious diseases are particularly high in Asia, but projections suggest that infectious disease risk will grow fastest in Africa south of the Sahara, as crop area and livestock populations expand.
This policy seminar will discuss the agriculture-ecosystem health interface that was magnified by COVID-19, and will consider cross-sectoral solutions that could reduce such risk and enhance human and ecosystem health with a focus on the contributions that One CGIAR can make.
Discussant Izabella Koziell, Program Director, CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems (WLE) responds to the question and answer section.

22 April 2020, Rome, Italy - Virtual meeting on Healthy ecosystems for healthy life: the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration 2021-2030.
Today, more than ever, we are searching for a sustainable future, where practices towards a healthy, green+blue planet will make life and the environment more resilient and beneficial to all. Harmonizing humans and the environment is an urgent need. Restoration of all types of ecosystems can make a great contribution to it. It’s a major challenge, but also an opportunity ahead of us. Let’s discuss how we can go about it.

They are in millions but fast disappearing. The plateau of Kaas is loosing it's glory. With the number of people visiting this place each year rising exponentially there are hardly any measures been taken to control the mass who have actually got nothing to do with the ecosystem part of this sensitive valley. I have seen people playing ball games and walking at will over these delicate plants.

The ITU Regional Seminar for CIS & Europe was held in St. Petersburg from 6 to 8 June to discuss the latest technologies and trends in the development of modern radiocommunication ecosystems. Co-organized by ITU and Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU), the seminar addressed the appropriate solutions for the sustainable use of the radio frequency spectrum as a scarce resource in enabling the development of the digital economy through mobile, transport, navigation and space systems.
Fishing production dramatically increase through the century peaking in late 1980s. At this time there were major declines in several fish populations in different areas of the world. The catch reported by governments is in some cases adjusted to correct for likely errors in data.

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.

Goal of this FAO-led project is to adopt an integrated ecosystems approach for the management of land resources in the Kagera Basin that will generate local, national and global benefits including: restoration of degraded lands, carbon sequestration and climate change adaptation and mitigation, protection of international waters, agro-biodiversity conservation and sustainable use and improved agricultural production, leading to increased food security and improved rural livelihoods.

SAVANNAH, Ga. – Members of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District gave presentations to 120 third graders at Marshpoint Elementary about the Corps' Regulatory Program. Regulatory Specialist Brian Moore used an interactive floodplain model to demonstrate how wetlands absorb storm water and filter drinking water. He also explained the Corps of Engineers' role in issuing permits for developers or citizens who want to build projects on or near streams and wetlands. Regulatory Specialist Donald Hendrix showed the students a variety of animal items—snake skins, furs, deer antlers, and sharks teeth—to demonstrate the various animals and habitat within Georgia. The visit was part of a unit of study about Georgia's ecosystems, natural resources, and conservation efforts. USACE photo by George Jumara.

Spent all day on a marathon photo shoot. 15 hours Sunrise to Sunset. 15 photo locations. Shot 170 images. Hauled 25 pounds of photo gear in the car, then never switched from the 18-135 Canon zoom I use 90 percent of the time.
Drove 320 miles in the Colorado mountains with Debbie (who painted) and Poppyseed (who slept).
Light overcast, great for driving. Stay tuned for the rest of the trip over the next week or so.
