"Our water bodies are our lifeline and it is important to instil the value of water to our younger generation.
Over the years, I have seen how water education plays a pivotal role in ensuring water sustainability. One of the ways in which instil this value to our students is to take them on a learning trail along our water bodies where they learn about its history, ecology and also get hands on experience in testing water quality. In the future, I hope there will be more opportunities to bring lessons out of the classroom and into the learning field. This will definitely provide an authentic learning experience that can increase the younger generation’s engagement in water issues. I also hope to see more World Water Day celebrations around the island to get people closer to water and work together towards a greater cause." - Mr Mahathir Aziz, Teacher, Jurong Secondary School, Singapore

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.

Industries in wafer fabrication and petrochemical require highly purified water. By supplying them with NEWater, we can better meet their needs and reduce the demand for potable water.
PUB will steadily expand Singapore’s NEWater production capacity and the distribution network. The construction of the fifth and largest NEWater plant to date (50mgd) at Changi will be completed by 2010, and link the NEWater clusters with pipes to form an island-wide network.

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 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."

"I believe that we should never take things for granted. It was through the World Water Day each year that I begin to realise how fortunate we are to be in a developed country with easy access to clean water. However, it was also important to let the local community know what is happening in other parts of the world. That was how I started to organise activities, such as a mass water filtration exercise, during World Water Day each year to spread this water message across the community.
Over the last 10 years, I’ve seen more people willing to make a difference. They are stepping forward to lead activities that promote awareness in water conservation and sanitation. I believe our community wants everyone to appreciate the environment. We will need to continue our actions, whether big or small, to recognize the importance of water and sanitation. Not forgetting our friends who do not have clean access to water, we should continue to contribute in terms of donations or technological ideas to help them improve their lives." Mr Terence Kam, Secretary, T-Net Club@Taman Jurong, Singapore

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.

If managed in a sustainable fashion, trees can provide long-term environmental and economic benefits for those willing and able to invest in them. Trees absorb carbon dioxide, fertilise soil, prevent erosion, and help to absorb rainwater, whilst at the same time providing fuel, food, fodder, compost, building materials and even medicines from their wood, leaves and fruit.

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.

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.
