The UN said that there is a close correlation between the threats to biodiversity and threats to water security. At that point, I weigh up it exists a tiny bond between these two facts.
The absence of inversion in sanitation services has made Lebanon a land with freshwater scarcity. It persists a problem in the capacity of access to clean drink water that comes form the contamination and the over-exploitation.
The Lebanese Government has allowed for ages a large number of water´s malpractices: damaged pipes, wasted water during irrigations, abundance of swimming pools.. Moreover, I have to insist on the old trucks that carry water and that lose this resource each kilometer.
What´s the sense of moving water if you are loosing it?.

Rwanda has set an ambitious climate action agenda to build the country's resilience and foster green growth. To achieve these goals, the country needs investments totaling USD 11 billion. Ireme Invest comes in response to this need by offering a range of financial instruments tailored to meet the needs of Rwanda’s private sector.

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 geology combined with short, intense periods of rainfall and long dry spells create rivers that flow intermittently; they are either floods or dry on the surface. They are powerful and gouge sharp paths through the soft sand or clayey soils.
