By far my favourite combination: an Ecosystem notebook + a black leather VadeMecum Pocket Cover.
The ecosystem notebook is exactly the same as the Moleskine. The cover fits like a glove.
When we stopped at this pond for our "sundowner," my first thought was, "Why couldn't we have stopped somewhere where there was something to see? But after a closer look at the variety of aquatic plants, the old-growth indigenous trees, the weaver-bird nests, and the mist already starting to form, I ended up being the last one back on the truck.

Human Ecosystems in Sao Paulo: the Real-Time Museum of the City
Human Ecosystems is coming to Sao Paulo, at SESC Vila Mariana, from September 23rd to 28th 2014.
From September 23rd to 28th, as a parallel program of the International Meeting on Culture and New Technologies, the SESC Vila Mariana will hosts the Human Ecosystems project, by the Italian artists Salvatore Iaconesi and Oriana Persico (Art is Open Source).
Human Ecosystems is a global project which captures the real-time public conversations happening on major social networks in cities, to analyse them, to create real-time interactive visualisations, and transform them into a source of open data.

The thick-billed murre and common murre have ranges 1,000,000 km2 and number in the millions or tens of millions of breeding pairs. However global populations are declining, although increases have occurred in some regions. These seabirds, together with other species of alcids, face a number of direct and indirect marine and terrestrial threats, which influence their survival and reproductive success. These include transboundary pollutants, by-catch mortality from fisheries, competition with fisheries for fish stocks, disturbance of breeding sites/habitat, and unsustainable harvesting. Marine pollution, especially oil, is a significant threat. Alcids are particularly sensitive to even small oil spills because of their concentrated aggregations. There is also concern over the impacts of cruise ship tourism on Arctic seabird colonies, given its rapid growth. Greater ship traffic increases the risk of groundings and other accidents, which may result in oil spills and other consequences.

For the first time an ecosystem survey with R/V Dr. Fridtjof Nansen will be conducted in the coastal area of Gabon. Identification and abundance of birds, whales, fish, phytoplankton, zooplankton and benthos will be conducted in the period from 9-23 May. In addition environmental parameters such as temperature, salinity, current, chlorophyll and oxygen will be measured. A reception was help onboard the vessel before the start of the cruise and the Minister of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Food Security, the governor of Port Gentil, and the FAO representative in Central Africa, were among the distinguished guest.
Goal of this FAO-led project is to adopt an integrated ecosystems approach for the management of land resources in the Kagera Basin that will generate local, national and global benefits including: restoration of degraded lands, carbon sequestration and climate change adaptation and mitigation, protection of international waters, agro-biodiversity conservation and sustainable use and improved agricultural production, leading to increased food security and improved rural livelihoods.

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.

There are thought to be between 20,000 and 25,000 bears in the world, which occur in 19 relatively discrete sub-populations, some of which are shared between nations. Topping the food chain in the Arctic, the polar bear is exposed to high levels of pollutants that are magnified with each step higher in the food web (a process known as biomagnification). Recent studies have suggested that the immune system may be weaker in polar bears with higher levels of toxic contaminants (e.g., Polychlorinated Biphenyls or PCBs). There is also evidence that the hormone system of polar bears is affected by pollution, something that may interfere with reproduction and growth. Climate change could also indirectly affect Arctic animals topping the food chain, such as the polar bear, through the secondary release of toxic contaminants have long been trapped in snow, ice and permafrost that is now melting.

My kids and I had a fun time at the California Science Center today. We saw a great IMAX film about the Hubble telescope and also toured the very cool Ecosystems exhibit, which opened yesterday. Here I am with my Smokey the Bear photo that they borrowed for the Los Angeles section - there was a whole wall of great so.cal. photos - it was a an honor to be included!

In a large tank at the New Orleans Aquarium was an exhibit, sponsored by maybe half a dozen big oil companies, depicting the aquatic life you might find in the waters below an oil rig. The exhibit included large sharks and tarpon, many smaller fish, and several moray eels, such as these that lurk in pipes.

The Corps is working with partners in the region to restore marsh islands in Jamaica Bay and is carrying this portion of the mission out by beneficially reusing sand dredged from ongoing dredging efforts to deepen the shipping lanes in the New York and New Jersey Harbor.
