Food security is likely to remain out of reach for many people. Child malnutrition will be difficult to eradicate even by 2050 (low to medium certainty) and is projected to increase in some regions in some Millennium Assessment scenarios, despite increasing food supply under all four scenarios (medium to high certainty) and more diversified diets in poor countries (low to medium certainty).

Order from Strength, which focuses on reactive policies in a regionalized world, has the least favorable outcomes for human well-being, as the global distribution of ecosystem services and human resources that underpin human well-being are increasingly skewed. Wealthy populations generally meet most material needs but experience psychological unease.

The “Treedom “ engages the relationship of nature to the artificial forms of the urban environment. My photographs explore the natural and uncontrolled growth of trees on places, which temporary escaped the determination of a human hand. It reveals the dilemma between organism and mechanism.
The complexity of the ecosystem found in the organism of the forest is based on the ability of the tree to relate and respond to its surrounding. A tree develops it self site-specifically, following the context of its place. On the other hand the mechanism of the culture constructs concepts and technology that are intervening abstractly in to the natural cycles. They are overpowering the site’s dynamic. The nature in the cities is limited to decorative controlled zones that have little in common with nature in its original state.
In Treedom I am interested in situations where the trees start to act independently interacting with the artificial environment as they would with the natural surroundings in the woods. They create spectacular forms of existence by developing symbiosis with the artificial structures. Some are leaving marks while others are being cut down and eliminated by paving. I see in the seemingly destructive effect of the entropy a creative potential of the nature to transform and balance the alienated environment.

This image was taken from inside my car while driving, and without looking through the viewfinder. Along the crack in the windshield are small pockets of water that collects during the wet Pacific Northwest winters. The brown areas at the base of the water bubbles are what I believe to be small colonies of algae. They turn green in the spring when the light and temperature is right, and brown when it gets too hot, to dry, or too cold.
It's my mobile ecosystem.

Letchworth State Park, the "Grand Canyon of the East," is where a 17-mile stretch of the Genesee River roars through the park's scenic gorge with three major waterfalls and cliffs as high as 600 feet, surrounded by lush forests. Recently named Best State Park in the nation. www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g47421-d123127-Revi...

The Middle Falls is 107 feet high and has a rather straight crest which is roughly 285 feet wide. The falls faces to the northeast. The northwest end of the crest is overhung, while the remainder of the crest is nearly vertical or very steeply terraced.
The Seneca Indians believed that the sun stopped at midday to gaze in awe at the great beauty of Ska-ga-dee, (the Middle Falls).
The Middle Falls is generally considered the most impressive of the three cataracts found in the park. It is also considered by some to be the third most impressive waterfall in the western half of New York State, preceded by the Horseshoe Falls and American Falls.
From April through October, the Middle Falls is illuminated by 5,000 watts of white light each evening.

The Paseo de las Iglesias Phase 1 project has 3 main goals per the Bond: River Park, Ecosystem Restoration and Erosion Protection. Below is a summary of each of the final amenities in each category to be constructed onsite.
The project will provide river park pathway and amenities including 2.7 miles of paved pathway (16’ wide), 2.2 miles of DG pathway (8’ wide) and 10,305 new trees, shrubs and cacti irrigated using permanent irrigation, temporary irrigation and Dri-water irrigation methods. The water sources will be reclaimed water. With the construction of Paseo de las Iglesias the Loop will have an 8 mile continuous section on the Santa Cruz River. Amenities will also include 3 parking areas; the west side paved parking area with restroom, ramada and seating, east side paved parking and ramada, and west side equestrian staging area with dirt parking and mounting block.
The project will provide ecosystem restoration element including a plant pallet comprised of native species local to this part of the Santa Cruz but also sustainable for current conditions, water harvesting basins, preserve in place areas for vegetation and habitat, and special habitat structures like lizard habitat and raptor perches. Additionally, Lizard and amphibian salvage to be performed by RFCD though subcontract to Dr. Rosen at U of A. RFCD contracted with Dr. Rosen to collect and monitor lizards in a fenced off area off Cottonwood Lane south of the Community Garden. The fence has been constructed by Dr. Rosen and lizard catching is in progress. Other amphibians will also be salvaged for later release. This will be treated as a do not disturb area during construction. The focus of the restoration work will be improvement to Mesquite Circle Pond which is home to 9 unique and special interest native species and one of the jewels of urban Tucson herpetological community.
The project will provide erosion protection including 1.4 miles of new soil cement bank protection, 0.4 miles of gabion bank protection, and additional methods such as rip rap, rock plating and terracing.
In addition to the decorative elements designed by the landscape architect there will be Public Art elements. With the assistance of the Tucson Pima Arts Council, we selected public artist Andy Dufford. He has been working on an entry monument and ramada for the project site. We have also been working with Las Artes, a local Arts and Education center, on a tile mural at the restroom.
During the design process our individual Section 404 permit was obtained from the Army Corps of Engineers, cultural resources mitigation was performed and letter of clearance issued from SHPO, Intergovernmental Agreement obtained with from the City of Tucson regarding property within the project area and permits with ADOT applied for. A cultural resources/archeological Phase I, Class III study was completed. The study was conducted to the current standard and determined the extent of archeological resources on site. Based on the results from the study a mitigation plan was created to determine and plan for the extent of the impacts of the project and the necessary remediation. Additionally, a goal of the project is to create signage for a segment the proposed pathway to represent the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail along the west bank of the Santa Cruz River that commemorates the 1775-1776 expedition and the historic Paseo de las Iglesias Trail.
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.
