The World Bank conducts the Mid-Term Review for the Landscape Approach to Forest Restoration and Conservation (LAFREC).
This exercise- conducted from February 1 to February 8, 2018- included meetings with implementing stakeholders and partners and field visits to some of the activities implemented under the project.
Here, the World Bank Team is joined by the Nordic Development Fund (NDF) Representative, RWFA and REMA for a tour at the National Seeds Centre in Huye District. This Centre will be supported under the "Improving the Efficiency and Sustainability of Charcoal and Wood Fuel Value Chains" project financed by NDF. This new project- launched on February 6, 2018- will be implemented as part of LAFREC

A rain garden captures stormwater runoff pollution at the Knollwood Life Plan Community in Northwest Washington, D.C., on July 17, 2024. The retirement community installed the example of green infrastructure in partnership with District Stormwater. The rain garden, bordering the Knollwood parking lot, is estimated to capture 2.2 million gallons of runoff annually, filtering it using nature-based processes before it reaches Rock Creek, the Potomac River, and ultimately the Chesapeake Bay. The new rain garden is approximately 4,700 square feet and captures runoff from 1.6 acres of impervious surface. It includes a variety of native and flowering plants that will provide habitat and food for pollinators. (Photo by Rhiannon Johnston/Chesapeake Bay Program)

This moss-rock boulder is on the fringes of a pond that we installed back in April. Duckweed is creeping up the front face with a 3" tall plant rising from its center. On the back face, there's a quantity of string algae.
I love the colors but also the fact that nature obviously abhors a vacuum.
I registered this pretty Linnet at Farlington Marshes last Saturday. Thanks to Glauco Pereira for confirming this identification.

Much of the landscape of Rocky Mountain National Park has been shaped by the continuous growth, disappearance, and regrowth of glaciers in the park. A glacier is a perennial mass of snow or ice that is large enough and heavy enough to flow, like a very thick fluid.

In North Kazakhstan, the circular economy is thriving through the use of biomass for heat, reducing environmental impact and costs. Initiatives include a modular biomass boiler in Beskol, agricultural waste processing into fuel briquettes, and flax straw heating at a grain processing company. These efforts enhance local living conditions and demonstrate the economic and environmental benefits of utilizing agricultural waste.
