The Soligas are a tribe that inhabits the Biligirirangan and associated hill ranges in Southern Karnataka, India.
The forests in the Biligirirangan Hills range from scrub forests at lower elevations to the tall deciduous forests typical of the ecoregion, to stunted shola forests and montane grasslands at the highest elevations, which exceed 1800 meters. In this patch of evergreen forest (top center) you can clearly see a shrub layer on the forest floor, a middle layer of short trees and a higher layer that forms the canopy of the forest only allowing some of the light to fall on the floor.
The forests form an important wildlife corridor between the Western Ghats and the Eastern Ghats, linking the largest populations of Asian Elephants and tigers in southern India. The most conspicuous mammals are the herds of wild elephants. To guard against elephants, the Soligas construct Elephant Proof Trenches (EPT) 2m across, 2m deep and 1.5m at the base and have small bridges of bamboo to allow people to walk across (bottom left)
The Soligas are increasingly being brought to the 'main-stream' with an active Government and NGO initiative (such as VGKK). KERL in partnership with VGKK have setup self-sustained solar powered street lights in most of the podus (tribal settlement). Some of the Soligas even watch live television via DTH Satellite Cable on a battery-powered television set (bottom centre)
The picture in the bottom right corner shows how the Soligas collect drinking water. A small well has been dug-up where a natural stream flows through when it rains (some sort of a water catchment area). They make sure the surrounding area is clean. No one is allowed to contaminate the surrounding area which means, no excreting here!

2 June 2013. Abu Shouk: Technician Ibrahim Youssif Adam, staff member of the Groundwater and Wadis Directorate in the Sudanese Ministry of Irrigation and working for the Integrate Water Resources Management, monitors the level of water in a water pump in Abu Shouk camp for Internally Displaced Persons (IDP), North Darfur.
Abu Shouk is one of the main priorities in North Darfur to implement projects on water due to the difficult terrain to find and keep the water and due to the big number of IDPs (more than 50,000) who use the water for domestic purposes and economical activities (like bricks fabrication).
The average of water consumption in the IDP camps in North Darfur is around ten liters per person a day.
Disputes over scarce water resources have been cited regularly as one of the root causes of the conflict in Darfur.

Lincoln Plaza’s unique terracing and exterior landscaping, with walkways and plazas at every level, establishes a pleasing environment for CalPERS employees.
Lincoln Plaza sits on a two-block site at 400 P Street in downtown Sacramento. The inside corridors surround a five-story, skylighted atrium with trees and hanging shrubs. It has 360,000 square feet of flexible office space and includes a 250 seat auditorium, meeting rooms, training facility, cafeteria, restaurant, coffee shop, day-care center and a 500-car parking garage recessed underneath the building.
The structure is set back 30-60 feet from the perimeter streets at the ground level and then progressively steps back at the upper floors, providing areas for landscaped terraces at each level. The visual impression from the terraces and from the workstations in the building area is that the intimacy of a garden environment exists even in such large office complex and even five floors above the ground. The terraced landscaping is designed to appear as if it is planted in the ground, and as the plantings matured, the structural lines of the building have become softer, and a “hanging garden,” “organic architecture,” or “garden in the sky” effect is the visual impression, rather than just another office building. The wide fascia at each floor level is positioned for solar considerations; to block the sun’s rays out in the summer and allow them to penetrate the building in the winter. The open courtyard on level 3 is wind protected, has a two-level waterfall, outdoor events, day-lounging and eating, and is completely landscaped into a garden environment.
Lincoln Plaza CalPERS Headquarters was completed in 1986 and is certified LEED EB Gold by the USGBC.

In commemoration of World Environment Day 2011, the U.S. Mission sponsored Mona Sfeir’s “Recycling Labyrinth.” This large scale installation art work was composed of 8,000 plastic bottles, the same number of bottles that go into landfills worldwide every second. The exhibit was installed in the beautiful gardens of the Palais des Nations in Geneva.
The focus of this work of art was to call attention to the challenge of global waste management. “To reduce, reuse and recycle are very important steps in dealing with our waste and this strategy has long been the focus for many environmentalist," according to the artist, Mona Sfeir. "However, I made this piece together with local volunteers to emphasize that it is time for us to eliminate the concept of waste all together. We need to develop solutions that bring environmentalists and industrialists together with the common goals of living harmoniously with our planet and creating human prosperity—this can only happen if we redesign our products and packaging from the very beginning.”

Watch the video about this project on YouTube:
This collection presents a breathtaking journey through diverse terrestrial biomes, reimagining the raw beauty of our planet through a synthetic lens. From the ethereal golden mists of a waking forest and the crystalline clarity of alpine rivers to the jagged, volcanic scars of primordial lands and the vibrant, sun-drenched cathedrals of coral reefs. Each environment is a study in light, texture, and atmospheric depth, blending hyper-realistic detail with a touch of the sublime. These landscapes explore the intersection of classical nature photography aesthetics and the boundless possibilities of modern generative tools, offering a contemplative look at worlds both familiar and imagined.
These images have been generated by Artificial Intelligence.
This is just our imagination of how the humans would battle for an apple from a half plastic tree if they keep feeding the beautiful mother earth with plastic waste!
Please use environmentally friendly bags ;)

...quando se acabar não tem mais.
Cinco de Junho - Dia Internacional do Meio Ambiente
********************************************
There's no more time to wait for miracles...
...when it's over , we don't have another one.
June 5th - Environment's International Day.
The goal of integration should be to make the environment easy to use by offering the highest possible level of synergy between the elements that constitute the environment.
Images of some of the original Robotic, Science and Interactive Art Exhibits that MRISAR’s R&D Team has designed and fabricated.
In 2010 MRISAR, (a business that has Designed, Fabricated & Marketed the Earth’s Largest Selection of “Internationally Renowned & Awarded, World-Class Robotics Exhibits & Devices”; and “Hands On” Scientific, Technological & Interactive Art Exhibits), purchased a disused school on the plains of North Dakota and relocated to it. Profit from their International Exhibit Sales helps fund their Humanitarian R&D and the transformation of the 36,000 sq. ft. complex, surrounded by 10 acres in North Dakota, into a World-Class “Interactive, Robotics, Technology, Invention, Art & Nature Center”.
Description of MRISAR’s “Interactive; Robotics, Technology, Invention, Art & Nature Center”.
1- Our 7,000 sq. ft. Exhibit Hall will feature; our standard line of interactive robotic & technology exhibits that we sell to Centers world-wide and our exclusive collection of robotic exhibits & devices that we will not sell to anyone else. Our talking Rail Robot Guide will lead visitors through the exhibit hall. Interact with our innovative, lifelike, futuristic, Robotic creations. Examples; Play with & feed Artificial Life forms in a Robot Zoo! Challenge robots with your human intelligence! Interact with otherworldly artistic, interactive, robotic sculptures! It will also feature Responsible Technologies.
2- Our Art Galleries will display the hundreds of pieces of family friendly, original 2D, 3D and Interactive Art that our team has already created, plus have revolving Family Oriented Local Artists Exhibitions.
3- The surrounding 10 acres is slowly being transformed into an Outdoor Interactive Art & Nature Area that will be filled with paths, trees, gardens and kinetic & interactive, solar & wind, technological art sculptures. The emphasis is edible, medicinal & organic landscapes that promote sustainability & health. As of 2015 over 3,000 edible and medicinal trees and shrubs have been planted.
4- We will provide “Special Tours” of behind the scenes areas. Examples are; (a) our Humanitarian & Environmental Research & Development Think Tank Invention labs that feature our R & D Projects. (b) the actual workshops where the attractions are created (similar to visiting the workshops & creations of Jim Henson’s creature shop). (c) a behind the scenes view of the production studio for the web series we are creating called the “Mysterious Lab of Robotics” (our robotic version of “Bill Nye the Science Guy” or “Beakman’s World”). (d) a chance to meet MRISAR’s internationally renowned robotics R & D team. A four member family team who since 2000 has designed, fabricated & marketed the earth’s largest selection of world-class robotic exhibits. The 2 youngest members joined the team as preschoolers.
5- “Public Enrichment Events”. Examples are; (a) special overnight events called “A Night with the Robots” (available no-where else in the world). Families can make reservations to spend the night on the center floor in sleeping bags or cots and experience special robotic demonstrations in a futuristic atmosphere. In recent years “A Night at the Museum” events have become very popular and highly accepted. (b) special classes on robotics for the general public. (c) Robotics Competitions. We are already providing technical assistance to teachers and academic establishments (both in the state and outside of the country), that are trying to enter robotic competitions, but lack the knowledge to fully instruct and inspire their students. A natural progression for this, once we are open for tourism, would be to offer to hold regional, national and international competitions at our location. (d) International conferences regarding Robotics and Beneficial R & D Conferences. (e) Collaborations, enrichment classes and internships in enhanced technologies with higher academic establishments; combining elements such as Cybernetics, Bionics, Mechatronics, Autonomics, Animatronics & Teleoperation.
6- Admission will be free to the underprivileged. We hope to inspire the upcoming generation to create careers in responsible technologies that improve the quality of life.
7- The proceeds from the Center will help fund our R & D and further our creation of a “Prototype Environment, low cost, low impact, self-sustaining, alternative energy powered, Humanitarian & Environmental Research & Development institute with Think Tank Invention labs”. Our purpose is to invent and present responsible, low cost and easy to implement, beneficial humanitarian and environmental based technologies and methods that assist with social, ecological, sustainable and economic solutions. Accomplishing the prototype environment alone requires research & development of new technologies & improvement of existing technologies.
We have Designed, Fabricated & Marketed the Earth’s Largest Selection of "Internationally Renowned & Awarded" World-Class Robotics Exhibits & Devices; and “Hands On” Scientific, Technological & Interactive Art Exhibits. Our innovative, interactive, inexpensive, durable & easy to maintain creations incorporate interactive technologies & designs for people with disabilities and other special needs. We also provide our own Educational Kits & Materials for K thru 12/College & University level curriculums.
Our Exhibit Sales Customers include World-Class Science Centers, Museums, Universities, NASA, Royalty, Foreign & Domestic Governments, the Film Industries for inclusion in media productions, etc. We specialize in Cybernetics, Bionics, Mechatronics, Autonomics, Animatronics & Teleoperated devices.
Our Humanitarian & Environmental Research & Development has been presented before and/or published and awarded by: the United Nations, NASA-Emhart, Stanford, Cambridge, ICORR, ROMAN, IEEE, Discover Awards, International Federation of Robotics (IFR), etc. Our 1990's circa, original innovative R & D in "Facial Feature Controlled Technology" and "Artificial Sense of Touch Technology" (Adaptive Technology prototypes for the disabled), has helped pioneer those fields! We were the only company in the world to be awarded an entire chapter regarding our work in the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) “World Robotics; Service Robotics, 2011”.
