The Serengeti ecosystem is a geographical region in Africa. It is located in north Tanzania and extends to south-western Kenya. It spans some 30,000 km2. The Kenyan part of the Serengeti is known as Maasai (Masai) Mara.
The Serengeti hosts the largest terrestrial mammal migration in the world, which helps secure it as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa and one of the ten natural travel wonders of the world.The Serengeti is also renowned for its large lion population and is one of the best places to observe prides in their natural environment.
The region contains the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and several game reserves.
This project is building climate resilience of local communities in the cities of Vientiane, Paksan, Savannakhet and Pakse through the implementation of an integrated approach to flood management to reduce the impacts of urban flooding and to help manage climate change induced floods in a long-term. The project activities include strengthening technical capacity and knowledge management for Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA), developing city-level flood management strategies, and implementing urban EbA solutions, including protecting and restoring wetlands and urban streams along the Mekong River.

These two pictures are related because they are both in terrestrial ecosystems. In terrestrial ecosystems the light is very prominent. Aquatic ecosystems differ in that the light does not travel into the deep water.

many of these similar looking moth’s congregated at the same time making it very difficult to distinguish one from the other.
US-Spanish Summer School con #Climatechange and Ecosystem management
25-29 September, Aguilar de Campoo (Spain)
El objetivo de esta Escuela es el intercambio de experiencias entre investigadores en diferentes etapas de sus carreras y poder inter-cambiar avances sobre la gestión de ecosistemas y su papel en la resolución de la crisis climática. También se trata de promover el intercambio de conocimientos e
ideas entre los investigadores estadounidenses y los españoles, así como facilitar la creación de redes y movilidad, para fomentar el surgimiento de colaboraciones internacionales. Los participantes estarán integrados por investigadores postdoctorales, profesores y estudiantes de doctorado de España y Estados Unidos.
Esta primera edición se centra en la gestión de ecosistemas y su papel en la resolución de la crisis climática, teniendo en cuenta tres temas principales: perturbaciones bióticas y abióticas en ecosistemas forestales, gestión y adaptación de ecosistemas forestales y transformación digital del sector forestal.
A lo largo de toda la semana, los participantes desarrollarán conferencias, talleres, visitas al campo, proyectos colaborativos y discusiones con expertos. De tal manera que podrán mejorar sus habilidades y conocimientos con respecto al tema abordado y enriquecerse de los conocimientos de otros expertos e investigadores. Además de establecer nuevas conexiones con investigadores nacionales e internacionales.
También se convertirá en una oportunidad para disfrutar el románico de la zona y la naturaleza de los parajes del norte de Palencia, lo cual lo hará una experiencia inolvidable que fortalecerá lazos científicos y personales a largo plazo.

a) The butterfly (biotic factor) depends upon these flowers to provide it the nutrients (abiotic factor) needed in order to pollinate from flower to flower. The flowers depend on not only photosynthesis to help them produce their own food (producers) but they also depend on the butterflies to help with the germination/pollination process. Both of these factors are related because they both grow and live in the same area, and both need one another for survival. Butterflies are benefitted with their brightly colored patterned wings, because they ward off predators as well as blend in to their environment as a form of protection. b) These flowers (biotic factor) can only exist in the terristerial ecosystem, where there is plentiful sunshine (abiotic factor) and rainfall available; where aquatic ecosystems are not able to support the life of these flowers in a body of water. The lack of wind to help blow/carry the pollen from flower to flower after a butterfly has germinated it would be impossible under water with the absence of winds under water.
