Studies have shown that climate change will cause a shift of climatic zones in the ecosystems of Altai-Sayan, resulting in the migration of animals and plants. 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.

Scientists from around the world gathered in Mymensignh, Bangladesh to receive training in plant breeding for improved crop varieties. This includes ways to use nuclear and other conventional breeding techniques to make rice varieties with improved traits, such as shorter growing times, better tolerance to salty soils, and higher yields. The training course opened with a meeting including the Director General of the Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture (BINA) and the Secretary of Bangladesh's Ministry of Agriculture.

We can achieve a more sustainable transport system if more Singaporeans travel by public transport. Public transport is, by far, the more efficient mode of transport, both in terms of land and energy use.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) will double the current rail network from the current 142km to 278km by 2020. This will be achieved with the completion of the Circle Line and Downtown Line and the addition of new lines and extensions, such as the North-South Line Extension, the Tuas Extension, the Thomson Line and the Eastern Region Line.
Where demand justifies, more trains will also be added to improve the capacity of existing rail lines.

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.
The Gasca family house 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.

On Monday, after dropping my son off at the Airport in his shiny black Chevy Volt I hung out in Winthrop to avoid the morning rush traffic into Boston. I headed in around 10am to US Fed District Court to pick up a Pass for Media coverage of the same. I turned left on Farnsworth thinking it was a through street. Instead it was a dead end with RCN on the right and what? on the left. I tried both ends for another outlet out. Then turned around heading a right turn out onto Farnsworth. Whatever happened that I did not see this short pile of cones was beyond me., In a split second it seemed I was hearing sounds no one wants to hear. I backed up and knew there had been some serious damage., OMG what a shame. I think it was the sun coming over the buildings as the only shot I have here is from an hour or so later and it was still piercing down pretty bright. I saw nothing. I was so shocked and saddened. My journey into the City was so pleasant driving slowly from 99 to South Station. I thought that was a cool way to come in again . I had never tried that and I loved that route. Then this happened. I had fire police ambulance tow trucks and me delivered to a Body Shop in Revere I had experience with before by 3pm I was ready to bus it home. Got home at 800pm. What a day you don't want to happen. The Fire Department said this never should have been there and removed the 36inch pipe putting it against the wall. They stuffed the cones into the hole and then the police showed up. The police paid a visit to the building 46 Farnsworth and that manager came out and stated the property was owned by Boston Globe or Sustainable Development. Whoever stuffed that pipe into the hole was what I call meathead anonymous. I will forever be ungrateful for that move. Can you hear plastic crunching and metal scraping and grimy fluid draining like blood on the gound? Sad Sad Sad
A Hatian mother and her two daughters celebrating the inauguration of their community's new grain mill funded by the Lambi Fund of Haiti.
This will save women like her days of lost work: previously the closest grain mill was 2 days away and ran the high risk of getting robbed or attacked.
These guys planted 1500 tress in South Lebanon for a green action I was part of (with our association Stonfield Team Acting)... Thank you so much to all of them and all the other - real or not - people who made all that possible.

Cameroon is a country rich in immense biodiversity, with vegetation varying from the mangrove swamps on its southern Atlantic coast to humid rainforests, savannah grasslands and the Sahel in the north. However, its natural resources are under great threat from economic, political, environmental and social pressures. Deforestation, the loss of biodiversity, soil degradation, pollution, poverty, extreme seasonal floods through to poor waste management in industrial and urban centres, are just some of the environmental issues currently facing Cameroon.
Living Earth has been working in Cameroon for over twenty years, with Fondation Camerounaise de la Terre Vivante (FCTV) the key local partner of Living Earth in Cameroon. Originally established in 1996 under the name Living Earth Cameroon, FCTV was formally registered as an independent Cameroonian non Government organisation in Cameroon in 2003 before changing its name to Foundation Camerounaise de la Terre Vivante in 2008.

The cost of disasters were summed up last night in dollars lost, people displaced, lives lost as one would expect at a meeting hosted by Columbia University with the theme "From Sendai to Rio -- Cultivating a Disaster-Resilient Society for Sustainable Development."
However, what also shone through in this major debate on the theme of disaster risk reduction in advance of the Rio+20 conference, were the unexpected ways in which disasters can affect our lives driven by new forces which Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, Director of the Earth Institute, said "we are not ready for."
