Studies have shown that climate change will cause a shift of climatic zones in the ecosystems of Altai-Sayan, resulting in animal migration. In response, a buffer zone of about 600,000 hectares of protected forests has been created between the Western and Eastern part of the region to protect the migration routes of globally threatened species, such as the snow leopard, lynx, European red deer, elk, argali, and more.

Children make up 1/4 of the world’s population and all of our future. They are our greatest treasure and our biggest responsibility. We work so that no child has to give up on their dreams because of poverty, inequality or exclusion. Let's come together to build better tomorrows for the children of the world.

IMO Secretary-General Kitack Lim has highlighted the Organization’s strong commitment to helping achieve the UN SustainableDevelopment Goals and explained how shipping and ports can play a significant role in helping to create conditions for increased employment, prosperity and stability through the promotion of maritime trade. Mr. Lim was speaking at a seminar as part of celebrations in Veracruz, Mexico (21-22 August) focused on IMO’s World Maritime Day theme for 2017 –"Connecting Ships, Ports and People".
The Secretary-General also discussed IMO measures to reduce harmful emissions from ships, the management of ballast water and goal-based standards. He was hosted by the Secretary of the Navy (SEMAR), Admiral Commander in Chief Vidal Francisco Soberón Sanz, who introduced the strategy and capabilities of the Mexican Maritime Authority.
The seminar was attended by the maritime authorities of Argentina, Chile, Panama and the United States, as well as representatives from the Tokyo Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control, World Maritime University (WMU) in Sweden, the IMO International Maritime Law Institute (IMLI) in Malta, and various national government ministries.
The celebrations also included an opportunity for participants to observe a search and rescue exercise and to visit Mexico’s Naval Academy.

Living Earth Foundation has been working in Nigeria since 1996, previously in partnership with the Living Earth Nigeria Foundation (LENF).
Living Earth Foundation has primarily worked in two key states in Nigeria; Bayelsa and Cross River State, located in the heart of the Niger River Delta on the southern coast of Nigeria. The Delta region is one of Nigeria’s most biodiversity rich areas; its mangrove forest is the largest in Africa and the third largest in the world. The area also contains Nigeria’s main oil reserves and since the discovery of oil in the region in 1956, major infrastructural developments including the building of roads and pipelines, along with an influx of migrant workers have taken place. Two million people now live in Bayelsa State and this, along with on-going development, is greatly impacting on the Delta’s ecosystem.
The natural resources of the Niger Delta are vital to the livelihoods of communities living there; communities generate income through livelihoods including farming, hunting, fishing and trading in forest products. As the oil industry has expanded, increased immigration and access to forests and fisheries has resulted in an over exploitation and unsustainable use of the Delta’s natural resources, threatening the livelihoods of the inhabitants in the area.
Living Earth’s community development and environmental education work enables communities to identify and address environmental problems whilst learning to manage their own resources.

The Gasca family in front of their house in Chiscareni, a village in northern Moldova. As most households in Moldova, the Gasca were affected by migration, as family members went abroad to earn money. 80,000 children in the country have at least one parent working abroad, and the country's population is expected to decrease by 29% if the migration rate does not contract. UNDP is piloting a local entrepreneurship initiative, which aims to bring back Moldovan diaspora. As a result of this initative, the Gasca family is now reunited and runs a ecoutourism business.

Passengers on a whale-watching boat off the coast of Dana Point, California, United States (a city near Newport Beach) captured a once-in-a-lifetime sighting: a gray whale giving birth to a calf!
At first, the sighting appeared to be a typical migrating gray whale. As the boat slowly approached the animal, the crew noticed it was behaving sporadically. Passengers and crew saw something orange and red coloured in the water that they thought might have been kelp. Instead, a newborn calf came up to the surface!
For a minute, they thought it may be a shark or predatory event. But no, instead of the end of life, it was the beginning of a new one!
After surfacing, the newborn calf began learning how to swim and bonding with its mother. The female even brought the calf over to the boats as if to show off her offspring and say hello.
Gray whales prefer to give birth in the warm and protected lagoons of Baja California, Mexico. The lagoons offer safety from predators such as orcas, as well as warm water for calves who have not yet built up a thick layer of blubber.
Although some gray whales do give birth in Baja, there are times when calves just won't wait and are born during the migration.

Semakau Landfill is Singapore's only operational landfill. It is used to dispose of the ash from waste incineration as well as non-incinerable waste like construction debris.
Semakau Landfill is located at sea, about 8km from mainland Singapore. The landfill is expected to last 40 years at the current rate of usage, and will become part of Singapore's land-stock in the future when completely filled.
During its construction, efforts were made to conserve biodiversity. As a result, there is a rich variety of flora and fauna on the island. Semakau Landfill was even lauded in New Scientist in April 2007 as the “Garbage of Eden” – a showcase of an environmentally friendly system of waste management.
