Photos from our "day trip" to Jekyll Island State Park
- Jekyll is one of Georgia's most beautiful barrier islands and a place that has been special to me for fifty years. I particularly love the sand dunes with all of their ecosystems and interesting vegetation.

The companies in this year’s class represent the ever-growing and diversifying entrepreneurial ecosystem. Our companies come from all over the country and bring unique skills, background and expertise to Boulder this summer. While individually different, they are all fueled by an unquenchable desire to improve the world by solving big problems.
This year’s class includes companies that are focused on helping brides get the dress they dream of (while staying within their budget) to enabling any child to make music to wearables that notify a loved one if you feel unsafe to helping home buyers/sellers save money and many more. These 10 companies stood out for their drive and passion to do something great and it’s a true honor and privilege to work with them.
We’re very excited to introduce the Techstars Boulder 2015 class:
adHawk: A mobile app that provides a bird’s eye view of all your digital marketing data in one place.
Blazing DB: An SQL database at supercomputer speeds that’s incredibly easy to use.
Edify: Empower every kid in the world to make their own music.
Flytedesk: A platform for buying and selling uncollected media, starting with college newspapers.
HobbyDB: The definitive database for collectors and hobbyists to manage and monetize their collections.
MadKudu: Data science that helps sales and support teams fight customer churn.
Revolar: The world’s smartest personal safety wearable device keeps you safe anytime, anywhere.
Stryd: The world’s first running power meter that helps runners improve their performance.
TRELORA: A commission-free real estate company, replacing percentage-based commissions with one flat fee.

The ‘Ecosystem-based Adaptation South’ project seeks to help the Seychelles, Nepal and Mauritania to adapt to climate change, in part by restoring natural habitats across all types of ecosystems. In the Seychelles, on-the-ground ecological restoration will rehabilitate 29 hectares of mangrove and wetland forests, thus providing natural flood barriers.

This photo was taken on October 26, 2021, at 2:49 PM in Lisle, Illinois, inside of a prairie wetland. This image focuses on the species part of the fungi subfamily Parmelioideae. Although the image has a central focus on this fungi, it has a relevant surrounding that supports the existence of this organism. Ecosystems are built up from the interactions of biotic and abiotic elements in a specific location. As we can observe in this image, the fungi are surrounded by components of detritus such as dead leaves and the small tree log where it resides. It is important to note that the fungi, as a heterotroph, are capable of utilizing the dead matter to support the production of new biomass and its survival. As a heterotroph, the fungi are part of a secondary production trophic chain. This chain utilizes organic matter available for the consumption of other organisms which influences the production of biomass and contributes to the nutrient cycling of this specific location. This contributes to the large-scale survival of this habitat given that the cycle of these nutrients influences the environmental factors (i.e. soil pH, temperature, moisture, and others) that create the most beneficial conditions for each specific species.

Wetlands are biodiversity rich sensitive ecosystems that harbor hundreds of plants, insects, birds and other animals uniquely adapted to their wetland mode of life.They are crucial to maintain the regional water balance through ground water recharge and absorption of flood waters and also serve as the rice bowl of developing countries. Nevertheless, wetlands play immense role in the socio-economic and livelihood aspects of local communities living around the wetland. In India, rural communities depend wetland for livelihood through farming, mat making etc; for food through fishing and hunting; for roof thatching by collection of reeds and palm leaf ; for firewood; for fodder etc. However, these wetlands are now under a threat of conversion for big industrial and real estate projects, change in lifestyle of local community, over extraction of resources by increased population, pollution,waste dumping, eutrophication and pesticide farming. There are three important wetlands in the Puducherry region namely Oussudu, Bahour and Kaliveli that provide important resources for local communities and also are a home to tens of thousands of migratory birds that visit the Puducherry region in winter. These wetlands have been acknowledged as Important Bird Areas(IBAs) by IBCN, since many of these birds are represented in more than 1% of their global population.
The recent threat on wetlands of Puducherry is more due to the change in life style of local community living around these wetlands. The younger generation is not much dependent on wetland resources, The younger and modern generation has lost the compassion and bonding to the wetland which their forefathers maintained through sustainable livelihood practices. This has resulted in a change in attitude and perception of the community towards unsustainable farming and resource extraction, game hunting, intensive fishing and reclamation, ultimately resulting in shrinking of wetland area and loss of biodiversity at an alarming pace. Local community is leaving the traditional farming practices for more fertilizer and pesticide based farming; fish stock is depleted using invasive Gill nets. Since Puducherry is fast developing region with rapidly growing commercial tourism and industrial establishments, these wetlands are under the threat of reclamation for resort construction and other commercial establishments. Poaching for a sport as well as open selling of birds including the threatened species is common. School drop-out are noticed to get attracted to such practices to make easy money as well as hunting for a sport with peers. With time, they may grow into expert hunters who will depend on poaching as the main source of income for the family. There are many wetland awareness programs organized by Forest Department as well as NGOs targeting school kids and educated community through workshops. School drop-outs are often not specially targeted by any of such programs and often not brought under the ambit of such programs. This gap needs to be addressed for local conservation efforts to be fully effective. We have chosen birds as the umbrella species whose conservation will in turn protect the lake and biodiversity as a whole. Birds are attractive and beautiful; ,which may easily get compassion from drop-out kids if guided appropriately. With proper efforts, the poachers can be turned to protectors and expert tour guides to facilitate ecotourism.
The Braddock Bay Ecosystem Restoration project team hosted a media event and open house signifying the completion of Phase I of the project, Tuesday, April 26.
This project is being conducted through an interagency agreement between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Corps of Engineers in close partnership with the Town of Greece, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, and the Rochester Embayment Remedial Action Plan Oversight Committee.
The Corps of Engineers awarded a $7.994 million contract, October 6, 2015 to Wesson Group LLC, Johnstown, NY for the construction of the Braddock Bay Ecosystem Restoration Project, funded by through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. Phase I work was completed March 2016, and consisted of the excavation of channels and potholes within the existing marsh to improve fish and wildlife habitat.
Multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs) are a main component of international environmental governance. The number of MEAs created in response to global environmental challenges has risen steadily since the UN Conference on the Human Environment (UNCED) in 1972.
