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.

Students find a wealth of inspiration for their Plan of Concentration in the local landscape, such as this field study of the impact of ice storms on forest ecology.
This is an image of a sunset over a sand volleyball court. This image and sunsets in general make me reflect on this world I live in. How am I protecting it? What will this sunset look like in thirty years? I am an advocate for as healthy ecosystem. I have a desire to raise a family in a healthy environment where the air is safe to breathe and skies stay blue. Right now we are living in a dying ecosystem that needs our help. What are we going to do?
Album 3:
The beauty of this sunset and all sunsets inspire me everyday to enjoy the earth I live on. I think about my life if I were blind or color blind and what the world would look like then. Sunsets also make me reflect on how tiny I am on this earth and that makes me feel better about my individual problems that are minuscule compared to world altering problems.
De Vlaamse visserijsector engageert zich al enkele jaren om te verduurzamen en zo de impact op het ecosysteem te verminderen. En met succes. Op vijf jaar tijd is de aanvoer van vis geleverd door vaartuigen die vissen met de traditionele ‘boomkortechniek’, een eco-onvriendelijke vistechniek, afgenomen van 87% in 2014 naar 70% in 2019. Dat is een aanzienlijke daling van bijna 20%. In plaats daarvan komen alternatieve technieken zoals plankenvisserij, passief tuig en flyshoot. Dat blijkt uit het antwoord op een parlementaire vraag van Vlaams volksvertegenwoordiger Cathy Coudyser (N-VA). “Na jarenlange inspanningen is de transitie naar een duurzame visserij daarmee definitief ingezet.”, aldus Coudyser.
De traditionele boomkorvisserij, erg schadelijk voor het ecosysteem, was lange tijd de meest gebruikte vistechniek in Vlaanderen. In 2007 werd maar liefst 94% van de Vlaamse vis gevangen via deze traditionele boomkortechniek. Sinds 2015 doet de sector inspanningen om enerzijds deze techniek van boomkorvissen te verduurzamen en anderzijds andere nieuwe vistechnieken te promoten die selectiever vissen, energie-efficiënter zijn en minder bodemimpact hebben. Coudyser: “Men formuleerde een duidelijk engagement: tegen 20% meer vangst via duurzame technieken.”
Coudyser: “Deze doelstelling werd bijna behaald. Op vijf jaar tijd is de aanvoer van vis uit boomkorvisserij afgenomen met bijna 20%: van 87% in 2014 naar 70. www.kneistikrant.be/duurzame-visserijtechnieken-vinden-in...
