A tree is not just a single living entity, but supports a miniature ecosystem. On this one tree alone, numerous other plants and animals have made their homes. You can see ferns and creepers, which in turn support birds and insects.
That's why trees are so precious: they form the basis for so many other creature's habitats. Cutting down a tree means destroying hundreds of other living things.

This project is building the climate resilience of poor communities in the cities of Thimphu (Bhutan), Kep, Phongsaly and Oudomxay (Lao PDR), and Mandalay (Myanmar) using Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) - the strategy of protecting or restoring ecosystems to reduce the negative impacts of climate change.
In Cambodia, the project is restoring wetlands and reservoir as well as mangroves to reduce the risk of flooding, drought, intrusion of saline water into agricultural land, and restore water for city consumption.

The total value of the carbon market for 2003 topped $300 million. And, depending on international regulation, some observers project that it will increase to $10–40 billion by 2010. Markets are also being created for more diverse commodities ranging from aquifer recharge credits, renewable energy credits, wasteload allocations for point and non-point source pollutants, and mitigation credits for wetlands, biodiversity, and riparian buffer zones.

The mangrove ecosystems in Langkawi, an archipelago in Malaysia, are vital coastal habitats characterized by their unique biodiversity and ecological importance. These ecosystems consist of salt-tolerant trees, shrubs, and other vegetation adapted to thrive in intertidal zones, where saltwater meets freshwater. Mangroves in Langkawi serve as critical nurseries and habitats for a diverse array of marine life, including fish, crustaceans, and mollusks.
Langkawi's mangrove forests provide essential ecosystem services, such as shoreline protection from erosion, carbon sequestration, and water filtration, contributing to the overall health of the surrounding marine environment. Visitors to Langkawi can explore these ecosystems through guided boat tours or boardwalks, observing the intricate network of roots and wildlife that inhabit these coastal wetlands.
The mangroves of Langkawi also support a variety of bird species, including herons, kingfishers, and egrets, making them popular destinations for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts. Additionally, mangrove forests play a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity and supporting local livelihoods through activities such as fishing, ecotourism, and sustainable harvesting of forest products. Protecting and conserving Langkawi's mangrove ecosystems is essential for maintaining the ecological balance and resilience of this unique island environment.
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.

In partnership with Advertising Week, Times Square Arts presents artist Benjamin Lebovitz’s Borders on Times Square’s electronic billboards from 11:57 p.m. to midnight every night in September. This project is a part of Midnight Moment, a monthly presentation by The Times Square Advertising Coalition (TSAC) and Times Square Arts.
Earlier this year, Times Square Arts and Advertising Week put out an open call for Midnight Moment proposals from artists working in the advertising industry. The winning submission was Borders, created by art director Benjamin Lebovitz. Using Google Earth satellite technology — a familiar medium after Lebovitz’s work on projects for the company — Lebovitz depicts the world from above, displaying the international borders between countries like Nepal and China, the US and Mexico, Syria and Turkey, Israel and Jordan, and Kuwait and Iraq, along with the remains of the Berlin Wall and landscapes of Glacier National Park. Bordersseeks to understand the world in a more unbiased way, urging viewers to reinterpret these geological and political divides as delicate, shared ecosystems and make a personal connection with the social responsibility to humanity and the environment.
