Nevada’s Sen. Harry Reid discusses the history of inter-agency partnership to preserve Lake Tahoe at the 18th Annual Lake Tahoe Summit outside of South Lake Tahoe, California, Aug. 19, 2014. Federal, state, and local leaders were on hand to reinforce their commitment to ecological restoration and improving water quality in and around the lake. The Corps continues to partner with state and local agencies on a series of ecosystem restoration projects around the lake. Photo cropped for emphasis. (U.S. Army photo by Luke Burns/Released)

Premier Jason Kenney and Environment and Parks Minister Jason Nixon announced, from Edmonton on Thursday, February 11, 2021, a project to protect boreal ecosystems in northeast Alberta.
Alberta’s government is planning a massive expansion of protected forest in the the Kitaskino Nuwenëné Wildland.
The expansion will add about 143,800 hectares of land to the protected area in northeastern Alberta – almost three times the size of Waterton Lakes National Park.
The expansion aligns with the Alberta Crown Land Vision, which guides our management of Alberta’s rich, natural heritage of Crown lands. Expanding the Kitaskino Nuwenëné Wildland will:
-Help protect the landscape, watersheds and wildlife in the area, including bison and woodland caribou.
-Support Indigenous Peoples’ traditional activities, including the exercise of treaty rights.
-Create recreation opportunities for Albertans
Backcountry recreation opportunities will be available in the area and the landscape would keep its wild, undeveloped character.
Recreation opportunities would be wilderness-oriented, such as remote backcountry experiences, hunting and fishing, and connecting with nature. In the future, trails and backcountry campsites may be provided to support safe and sustainable recreation opportunities.
“Alberta’s northern boreal forests are an important wildlife habitat. Today’s announcement creates the largest protected forest area in Alberta history. This will protect an important ecosystem for generations to come, allowing for backcountry recreation and Indigenous communities to practice traditional activities, like hunting, trapping and fishing. This is a classic Alberta partnership between industry, First Nations and government.” said Premier Kenney.
“Alberta’s government is committed to a common-sense approach to conservation planning that recognizes the importance of collaboration between government, Indigenous communities and industry. The proposed expansion of Kitaskino Nuwenëné Wildland is yet another example of that commitment – and will add to the largest contiguous area of boreal protected land in the world once completed. I look forward to working closely with industry partners, land users and Indigenous communities to make this fantastic project a reality.” said Minister Nixon,
“The expansion of Kitaskino Nuwenëné Wildland Park is part of our vision for protecting the Peace Athabasca Delta and important resources like caribou and wood bison. We applaud the collaborative effort that brought us to this point, including the broad support from our partners in the energy and forestry sectors, the provincial and federal governments and other Indigenous nations. This is a big, shared achievement.” said Chief Peter Powder, Mikisew Cree First Nation. (photography by Chris Schwarz/Government of Alberta)

UNEP, in coordination with North Darfur state government, hosted a 3-day training on Ecosystems-based Disaster Risk Reduction (Eco-DRR) in May 2015. As part of UNEPs Wadi El Ku Catchment Management Project in Darfur, this training included raising the profile of Eco-DRR and its importance among stakeholders, demonstrating links between Eco-DRR and natural resource management, and sharing global lessons learned on these issues.

Large-scale commercial harvests are restricted to harp and hooded seals, except for the hooded seal population in the Jan Mayen area of the Greenland Sea. Both species faced intense commercial hunting in the 19th and 20th centuries, first for oil, and later mainly for the highly prized pelts of pups.Seal products nowadays also include a significant aphrodisiac trade (particularly for harp seal sex organs), and seal oil has become a popular health product because of its omega-3 content. Canada, Greenland, Norway, and Russia have been and are still involved in regulated commercial harvest of these species.

This poster examines the role of ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) in relation to the Paris Agreement on climate change and the wider UNFCCC process.
Researchers examined the pledges on climate action (Nationally Determined Contributions) submitted to the UNFCCC by 162 countries. The study found that 24 nations explicitly mentioned EbA, but few countries included measurable targets for EbA implementation, and even fewer acknowledged the importance of local community involvement.
The poster sets out a series of policy pointers in relation to promoting wider uptake of EbA. These include sharing learning about EbA, setting and reporting on measurable targets in national plans, and promoting EbA via international mechanisms.
This poster has been produced by IIED and IUCN. This poster is for display at the 11th International Conference on Community-Based Adaptation (CBA10) in Kampala, Uganda from 26-29 June 2017.

The Arctic is home to approximately 4 million people, with the share of indigenous and non-indigenous populations varying widely between the Arctic states. Larger settlements are usually located in resource-strategic positions. Rich deposits of natural resources are spurring industrial activity in the region. The Russian Arctic, for example, holds 1.5 of the country’s population, but accounts for 11% of its gross domestic product and 22% of its exports. The Arctic could also hold up to 22% of the world’s undiscovered oil and natural gas reserves. Commercial shipping across the Arctic, along the North East Passage and Northern Sea Route, is expected to increase dramatically over the next few decades with retreating ice conditions.

Role of Freshwater Crabs in Ecology.
Keystone species
Freshwater crabs are essential to many freshwater ecosystems. Some feed on fallen leaves and algae, while other species help cycle nutrients by eating vast quantities of detritus.
The crabs themselves are an important source of food for a range of birds such as herons and kingfishers, reptiles such as monitor lizards and crocodiles and amphibians such as frogs and toads. Mammals that like to dine on freshwater crabs include otters, mongooses, civets as well as wild boar and even macaque monkeys.
Because most species require pristine water to survive, they are also excellent indicators of good water quality.
Surprisingly except otters and crocodiles all other animals are here!
