Students in one of my classrooms were studying water cycles so we built ecosystems in a bottle. The top was soil from the Long Island Sound and vegetation. The bottom was Long Island Sound water and algae. The systems were connected by a wick. Students polluted the top of the ecosystem and observed what happened to the water and algae below.

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 Phongsaly and Oudomxay, the project is restoring watersheds and riparian areas by using climate-resilient species that slow down the water flow and increase water infiltration. Further, in Oudomxay, the EbA interventions of watershed restoration and the creation of plant nurseries are combining with ecotourism efforts to protect ecosystem services and livelihoods of local communities.

In 2017, UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and partners launched The Gambia’s largest natural-resource development project to help the country adapt to climate change. The overarching objective is to build climate resilience by restoring and rehabilitating at least 10,000 hectares of forests, protected areas, wildlife areas and farmland, all of which are affected by rising temperatures, erratic rainfall and deforestation.
The six-year project aims to benefit up to 11,550 Gambian households directly and 46,200 households indirectly in four regions along the Gambia River. The project is funded by a grant from the Green Climate Fund, along with contributions from the Gambian government.

"Efecto Seda"
Ubicación: Jardín Botánico La Laguna, ubicado en el fondo de un cráter volcánico en el municipio de Antiguo Cuscatlán, departamento de La Libertad. Fundado el 13 de julio de 1976 y abierto al público el 22 de diciembre de 1978. El Jardín Botánico La Laguna es manejado por una asociación privada, sin fines de lucro y apolítica.
Es un parque Nacional que pose 46 manzanas de extensión, las cuales 4.5 están destinada para la entrada del publico, dentro de este podemos encontrar muchas lagunas pequeñas y otras medianas, dónde se encuentra vida de seres vivos como peces y tortugas, haciéndonos saber que la naturaleza nos da vista a lo hermoso que el planeta tierra nos da día con día.
La fotografía cumple con el reto y con las características de la técnica para realizar el efecto seda, ya que se realizo en un lugar con agua y con las características manuales de la cámara.
Students to see how and why we conduct seagrass surveys. In addition to learning why the seagrasses in Florida are important to the marine environment, students see and touch the gear used for underwater sampling, the seagrasses we study, and even try a little seagrass survey of their own.
self-portrait at the University Museum of Natural History. I occasionally need author portraits for various publishing activities and had a little session at the OUM trying to get one with an interesting background. While I don't normally write about butterflies, their colourful diversity reflects my work in other ways ...
