Square net fishing in Phatthalung, Thailand, is a traditional method practiced in the Thale Noi wetlands. Fishermen use bamboo platforms with suspended square nets operated by a pulley and counterweight system. The nets are lowered into the water to trap fish as they swim by, relying on the fishermen’s knowledge of tides and fish behavior. The catch is collected using smaller scoop nets. This sustainable method allows smaller fish to escape, preserving ecosystems. Fishing often occurs in the early morning or evening and reflects generations of cultural tradition. The bamboo structures, especially at sunrise, have become iconic, attracting tourists and photographers. Square net fishing symbolizes the harmonious connection between people and nature, blending livelihood and heritage in this serene region.
Funny story. I needed to fly my drone amongst the mangrove roots to get this panorama capture. Elated after the final frame was shot I mistakenly flew straight up into a guide wire and crashed the drone into the river. Just 5m offshore, I quickly stripped down and dove into the water to recover the drone. Down about 4m it was cold and pitch black with no sign of the bottom. Failure. The hotel was able to find me a salvage diver who was able to recover the drone a week later using the last recorded GPS coordinates. I received the corroded drone and more importantly the still functioning micro SD card a couple of weeks after my return from the trip. Elation again upon successful import, and panorama stitch.

The Ngorongoro crater is one of the largest volcanic calderas in the world. It was formed when a giant volcano exploded and collapsed two or three million years ago. The caldera is a huge bowl with walls of more than 600 meters high, covered with forests, plus a flat ground and land of about 260 km2. This particular natural world is organized in several ecosystems - forests, savannas, lakes and marshes, salt ponds, arid lands ... -, embedded in an area that does not exceed 20 kilometers in diameter.
The crater houses about 25,000 animals of very different species. It is considered one of the smaller areas where it is possible to see the big five, the five most representative animals of Africa: the lion, the leopard, the elephant, the buffalo and the rhinoceros (if the hippopotamus is included, then it should be enlarged the denomination to the big six). In addition, in the circle it is possible to observe, with a bit of luck, the exotic black rhinoceros, possibly the biggest attraction of the park.

The Teton Range of Grand Teton National Park
The Teton Range is a mountain range of the Rocky Mountains in North America. It extends for approximately 40 miles in a north–south direction through the U.S. state of Wyoming, east of the Idaho state line. It is south of Yellowstone National Park and most of the east side of the range is within Grand Teton National Park.
One theory says the early French voyageurs named the range les trois tétons ("the three nipples") after the breast-like shapes of its peaks. Another theory says the range is named for the Teton Sioux (from Thítȟuŋwaŋ), also known as the Lakota people. It is likely that the local Shoshone people once called the whole range Teewinot, meaning "many pinnacles".
The principal summits of the central massif, sometimes referred to as the Cathedral Group, are Grand Teton (13,775 feet), Mount Owen (12,928 feet), Teewinot (12,325 feet), Middle Teton (12,804 feet) and South Teton (12,514 feet). Other peaks in the range include Mount Moran (12,605 feet), Mount Wister (11,490 feet), Buck Mountain (11,938 feet) and Static Peak (11,303 feet).

Coral reefs are an ecosystem that includes more fish types living in a two-acre area, than there are bird species in all of North America. Fish and manatee feed and raise their offspring here. Coral polyps act as a filter in keeping the ocean clean. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, medicines are currently being developed from coral reefs to treat cancer, arthritis, bacterial infections, Alzheimers, as well as heart disease. Coral will significantly enhance our quality of life.

Ogni volta che leggo di qualche disastro ambientale, come è accaduto in questi giorni, mi chiedo fino a che punto potremo arrivare.. Un giorno dovremo competere per le risorse e la sopravvivenza come la maggior parte delle speci viventi.. e in quel caso, si salvi chi può...

American Bison
The American Bison or simply Bison (Bison bison), also commonly known as the American Buffalo or simply Buffalo, is an American species of Bison that once roamed North America in vast herds. Its historical range, by 9000 BC, is described as the Great Bison Belt, a tract of rich grassland that ran from Alaska to the Gulf of Mexico, east to the Atlantic Seaboard (nearly to the Atlantic tidewater in some areas) as far north as New York and south to Georgia and, according to some sources, further south to Florida, with sightings in North Carolina near Buffalo Ford on the Catawba River as late as 1750. It nearly became extinct by a combination of commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century and introduction of bovine diseases from domestic cattle. With a population more than 60 million in the late 18th century, the species was down to just 541 animals by 1889. Recovery efforts expanded in the mid-20th century, with a resurgence to roughly 31,000 wild Bison today, largely restricted to a few national parks and reserves. Through multiple reintroductions, the species is now also freely roaming wild in some regions in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with it also being introduced to Yakutia in Russia.

In an area with so many diverse ecosystems, it's always wonderful to encounter new-to-me insects...it seems that every unique area offers species that I've never seen before! This 'lifer' Anchor Stink Bug seems ready for Halloween in its orange and black appearance...my excitement upon spotting this beauty made me intent on getting some shots as it quickly made its way around a Goldenrod at Muddy Creek!

Grizzly Bear
The Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctos horribilis), also known as the North American brown bear or simply Grizzly, is a population or subspecies of the Brown Bear inhabiting North America.
Grizzlies, like black bears, come in a variety of colors. They can range from blond to nearly black. Sometimes they have silver-tipped guard hairs that give them a "grizzled" appearance. Grizzlies often have a dished-in face and a large hump of heavy muscle above the shoulders. Their claws are around four inches long. Grizzlies usually weigh around 300-600 pounds but can grow up to 1,400 pounds. Adult Grizzlies can be six feet or more when standing on hind legs, and three to four feet when standing on all fours. Based on a multi-year DNA study, it's estimated that there are roughly 750 grizzly bears living within the Greater Yellowstone Area.

Went out for a walk in the rocky shore of Vuosaari, Helsinki.
I found a nice location and started to wander around.
Found this composition after getting my shoes and socks wet, because I wasn't paying attention to the waves. Lesson learned.
I proceeded to set the tripod, grabbed the camera from the backpack as well as the Sigma 18-35mm lens.
After taking a couple of test shots, it became obviously clear that the image needed a polarising filter to expose more detail underwater, and a graduated filter to calm down the bright sky.
I took three shots, first focusing on the rocks in the foreground, then the partially submerged rocks just a few meters away and then all the way to the island with the trees.
After finishing the trip I sat down in front of the computer monitor and started working on the images. I processed the images the way I liked them and proceeded to focus stacking them in Photoshop.
So here's the result of a lovely mid-day walk with wet shoes, hope you enjoy the image.
Amidst the dynamic ecosystem of Lagos Yaguacaca, the Great Egret (Ardea alba) stands as a beacon of tranquility. This photograph captures the bird in its poised vigilance, a sentinel in the marshes. The egret's stark white plumage, set against the dense greenery of Leticia, Colombia, illustrates the bird's adaptation to its wetland habitat. The striking yellow beak, a sliver of color, punctuates the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the bird's elegant profile.
In this frame, my focus was on isolating the egret's form to emphasize its role within the ecosystem. It's a moment that speaks to the egret's solitary nature and its prowess as a hunter. The composition is a deliberate balance of color and space, inviting contemplation on the simplicity and complexity of nature. As a conservation photographer, these are the instances I seek to share, hoping to bridge the distance between our human experience and the natural world.

Climate change is a silent killer that you don't notice. It not only has to do with global warming, but other processes in our ecosystem are also changing. It is a chain reaction of unprecedented scale. Like here in the Harz in Germany, large parts of the coniferous forests have died from successive plagues, such as drought, insects, wind and so on. We will have to adapt and look for solutions to keep the earth livable.
So many spiders around in the wetlands at the moment. They probably outnumber the flies!

Grizzly Bears of the Canadian Rockies
Grizzly Bears (Ursus arctos) are unmistakable because of the large muscular hump on their shoulders. Grizzly bears are scavengers and omnivores, eating both plants and meat. Plants are the mainstay of their diet though, especially berries and roots.
In winter, food becomes scarce and the bears crawl into their dens to hibernate. Although bears do not truly hibernate, (their body temperature only dips slightly), they do become dormant in winter, usually in snow-dens, where females often have one to four cubs before spring.
Grizzly Bears have one of the lowest known reproductive rates of all North American land mammals. That rate is even lower for Grizzlies living here in the Canadian Rockies. Females have their first cubs at 5-8 years of age and may not become pregnant again for 4–5 years.
Grizzly Bears are particularly sensitive to human influence, and because of this we manage them carefully. We can gain information about the mountain park ecosystem by monitoring the grizzly bear population. Jasper currently supports a population of between 100–120 individuals.

Two trails go around the Tower, an inner loop and an outer loop (the Redbed Trail). The Redbed Trail features the three habitats of the park - ponderosa pine, open prairie, and the Spearfish Formation. You see the latter two here.
