Independent play setups for babies and toddlers at the Resources for Infant Educarers' (RIE) Center in Los Angeles.
These simple toys invite the children to bring their own complexity and creativity to play. This is more educational than any "learning toys," and they're more fun too! I tried to capture how intriguing these simple objects are to exploring infants by getting down on a baby's level.

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources and Environment (NRE) Under Secretary Robert Bonnie speaks about the America’s Longleaf Restoration Initiative (ALRI) progress on its five-year anniversary at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in Washington, DC, on Tuesday, Jul. 22, 2014. The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation’s (NFWF) established the Longleaf Stewardship Fund, a combined landmark public-private partnership to accelerator restoration of the longleaf pine ecosystem. Federal partners include the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service (FS) and Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Private sectors partners are the Southern Company and International Paper’s Forestland Stewards Initiative. The longleaf pine ecosystem once encompassed more than 90 million acres of North America, from Virginia to Texas. Unique to the southeastern U.S., it contains a stunning diversity of plants and animals, including rare and endangered wildlife like the bobwhite quail, red cockaded woodpecker, and gopher tortoise. Unfortunately, only three percent of the original acreage remains, and threatened and endangered species that depend on the habitat are struggling to survive. USDA photo by Bob Nichols.

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) District Conservationist for Arkansas Derrek Nokes, and State Grazing Lands Specialists such as Jeremy Huff assisted Kenny and Annette Sites with a conservation plan that includes prescribed grazing (528); and the forage and biomass planting (524) of the pastures, in Sheridan, AR, on June 27, 2019.
A companion video can be seen at youtu.be/JOiyO31rOis
Prescribed Grazing manages the harvest of vegetation by grazing and/or browsing animals.
This improves or maintains desired species composition and vigor of plant communities. Improves or maintains quantity and quality of forage for grazing and browsing animals’ health and productivity. Improves or maintains surface and/or subsurface water quality and quantity. Improve or maintain riparian and watershed function. Reduce accelerated soil erosion and maintain or improve soil condition. Improve or maintain the quantity and quality of food and/or cover available for wildlife. Manage fine fuel loads to achieve desired conditions.
Forage and Biomass Planting establishes adapted and/or compatible species, varieties, or cultivars of herbaceous species suitable for pasture, hay, or biomass production.
These pastures improve or maintain livestock nutrition and/or health. Provide or increase forage supply during periods of low forage production. Reduce soil erosion. Improve soil and water quality. Produce feedstock for biofuel or energy production
NRCS has a proud history of supporting America’s farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners. For more than 80 years, we have helped people make investments in their operations and local communities to keep working lands working, boost rural economies, increase the competitiveness of American agriculture, and improve the quality of our air, water, soil, and habitat.
As the USDA’s primary private lands conservation agency, we generate, manage, and share the data, technology, and standards that enable partners and policymakers to make decisions informed by objective, reliable science.
And through one-on-one, personalized advice, we work voluntarily with producers and communities to find the best solutions to meet their unique conservation and business goals. By doing so, we help ensure the health of our natural resources and the long-term sustainability of American agriculture.
Farm Production and Conservation (FPAC) is the Department’s focal point for the nation’s farmers and ranchers and other stewards of private agricultural lands and non-industrial private forest lands. FPAC agencies implement programs designed to mitigate the significant risks of farming through crop insurance services, conservation programs and technical assistance, and commodity, lending, and disaster programs.
The agencies and service supporting FPAC are Farm Service Agency (FSA), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and Risk Management Agency (RMA).

Most nonprofit organizations are making use of video as a communications tool, but not as many consider their long-term objectives with video. In a quickly evolving media landscape, a video communications strategy must include short- and long-term planning, audience identification and segmentation, and distribution strategies in order to get your organization's message to the right audiences. Join our panel as we explore best practices in the planning, creation and distribution of nonprofit video.
Lunch sandwiches will be provided by the organizer for the first 40 attendees who preregister online and bring their Eventbrite confirmation to the event.
Our panel will address the following topics:
How to use video as part of a larger communications campaign,
How to determine your audiences and the key issues that matter to them,
The benefits of establishing a long-term relationship with a videographer/editor and animator,
How to create a media file library,
How to allocate resources to use video as part of a long-term communications strategy,
How to create videos with "legs" (that will be picked up by other news sites, blogs, etc).
How to distribute video so as to build your audience,
How infographics and animation can add to your story,
...and more!

Nepalese women carry wood harvested sustainably from a forest.
The future of forests is an important issue in the Copenhagen talks – with countries aiming to come to an agreement that will reduce deforestation and degradation.
Forests cover nearly half of Nepal but many of these are being cut down, which means there are fewer trees to absorb the dangerous greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
DFID programmes in Nepal are helping protect the forests by encouraging local people to look after them and earn a living from the forests’ natural resources in a sustainable way.

Processing: this was processed with actions by apples & sisters resources, but I can't remember which one now =(
I decided to start over from scratch with a new account since... well, my old account wasn't really me lately, so before I lost all interest in photography, I decided to give it another go. So this is me, starting over.
Ps: I totally hate my pale legs, but I love this pic.

The Integrated Land, Water Resources and Clean Energy Management for Poverty Reduction Project is supporting the sustainable management and conservation of natural resources, more productive agriculture, reducing human pressure on Volcanoes National Park and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by protecting 1,400 hectares of watersheds, 50km of ravines and rivers, creating a 1,000 hectare buffer zone of Volcanoes National Park, supporting two green model villages, distributing 1,000 improved stoves and 50 biogas digesters, controlling water hyacinth on 60 hectares and creating 1,680 green jobs.
The project is being delivered by Musanze District and is addressing severe erosion caused by deforestation, over cultivation of hillsides and intense rainfall events linked to climate change.
The project started in May 2014 and aims to enhance food and energy security, support climate resilient livelihoods and improve access to renewable energy. Erosion control measures have been introduced to improve agricultural productivity. The project also provides biogas digesters, improved cooking stoves and rainwater harvesting systems to reduce pressure on forest resources and enhance water security. Livelihoods of vulnerable households including women headed households and youth are being strengthened with support for income generating activities. The project is being implemented in Rwaza, Kimonyi, Nkotsi and Shingiro sectors in Musanze District.
