I live In the heart of Atlanta next to the Old Fourth Ward Pond. Every day I see something different: new flowers, bees pollinating, turtles bathing on rocks, ducks, goslings, an egret. I am so happy to have a tiny slice of nature on my city doorstep.
The new fisheries management strategies developed through the establishment of the Lake Niassa Reserve, including community-designed policies to protect species during their spawning periods and ensure the use of appropriate nets that capture only mature fish, are already producing results. Some communities are reporting higher levels of artisanal fish capture after only one year of work, regularly reeling in fish that are up to 12 inches long and of a higher quality than the three to five inch fish that fine-meshed nets used to yield. Yet the benefits of the Reserve for fisheries production and food security are only just beginning to appear. As improved management techniques are put into practice, illegal fishing further controlled, and additional tourism infrastructure created, the benefits of the Reserve for community members can be expected to increase in tandem.

According to Robert Layng, a Foreign Service Officer at USAID who has taken a leading role in USAID’s support to WWF and the government of Mozambique, attracting private investment into the tourism sector is central to ensuring that the Reserve realizes its potential to create economic opportunity. “The end goal is to ensure financial sustainability of the reserve, Targeted growth in the tourism sector is one of the best prospects for generating revenue for the reserve. The Tourism sector also creates jobs on Lake Niassa and highlights the economic value of protecting the lake while also providing revenue from sustainable resource use”, said Mr. Layng.

2 June 2013. Abu Shouk: Senior Hydro-geologist Saleem Abdulaziz, from the Groundwater and Wadis Directorate in the Sudanese Ministry of Irrigation and focal point of the Integrate Water Resources Management, monitors the water consumption in a water tank in Al Salam camp for Internally Displaced Persons (IDP), North Darfur.
Al Salam is one of the main priorities in North Darfur to implement projects on water due to the difficult terrain to find and keep the water and due to the big number of IDPs (more than 50,000) who use the water for domestic purposes and economical activities (like bricks fabrication).
The average of water consumption in the IDP camps in North Darfur is around ten liters per person a day.
Disputes over scarce water resources have been cited regularly as one of the root causes of the conflict in Darfur.

Although news magnate Rupert Murdoch is on the record as saying climate change is real and action is needed to mitigate and adapt to global warming, many of his News corporation papers and journalists still promote climate denial or inaction at odds with the scientific consensus.

In connection with the success of Wings of Qatar, the exhibition which we had conducted during the Qatar Environment Day at Hyatt Plaza a couple of months ago, we got recognition and appreciation from many nature lovers and media.
As a result, we got many queries to conduct Wings of Qatar again in different places. We got an offer from RasGas to carry out an exhibition in connection with World Environment Day for their staff and family. We have conducted the first phase at RasGas Tower during 6th to 8th of June and June 10-12 at Al-Khor Community.
As you can guess, it’s a great recognition for us and we have sticked with our commitment towards quality, as we do always. Last time we displayed about 80 images and we have increased the number to one hundred and four.
Also, keep in mind that this is just a beginning of some great triumphs DK plans to grab including a web site for Wings of Qatar and ultimately a reference book of Birds of Qatar.
Wings of Qatar is not just a photographic exhibition, but the one and only brand for bird photography in Qatar.
Dedicated for safe, pollution free, eco-friendly,green environment on the occassion of World Environment Day.
Being a student of ecology and environmental sciences from one of the prestigious universities of the country, I wonder why can all the days be celebrated as June 5th. A step , if taken by me, another step by you and other step by someone else will make a slight difference for sure and summation of all these delta differences when counted with make a big difference like a tiny cloud makes a huge heavy cloud, drop by drop rains make that big ocean...!!
So, lets take a step ahead to make our environment clean, safe and more green, moreover pollution -free and eco-friendly so that we and our "co-creatures dwell happily for ever like a fairy tale story ending.
Wishing all a greener environ , a healthy and more biodiversed environment..!!
Sloganising the fact "Go Greener"!!
For World Environment Day 2015 I joined a group going up into the Victorian Central Highlands to look at the old growth forests, home to the critically endangered Leadbeater's Possum as well as being a unique ecosystem and a catchment area for Melbourne's water supply.
Tragically the area is being logged, with the vast majority (93%) going to low grade wood pulp or wood chip and less than 1% going to quality hardwood. The loggers claim that they are doing sustainable logging, but they are only replacing the Mountain Ash trees that they value, not the whole unique and diverse ecosystem.
Our hosts told the story through art, song and storytelling, including a very cold looking (and large) possum. They are working on protecting the forest by creating a Central Highlands National Park, which will generate more jobs through tourism than will be lost when logging stops (about 100 jobs)

Kenya's northern border areas are challenging environments: remote, drought-prone, underserved and insecure. High rates of conflict combined with arms smuggling make the border areas vulnerable to extremist groups. Because of these needs, USAID along with implementing partner, Pact Inc., are looking to communities to build a stronger social fabric across borders.

Journée mondiale de l'Environnement 2009
La Journée mondiale de l'Environnement est célébrée chaque année, le 5 juin, dans plus de 100 pays. Le thème pour 2009 est le changement climatique, et les conséquences plus globales des changements environnementaux, et ainsi que les réponses que les sociétés peuvent y apporter.
La lutte contre le changement climatique et pour la préservation des écosystèmes, qui sont à la base même de nos systèmes économiques, est un problème pour chacun de nous. Tous les efforts individuels, si petits soient-ils, peuvent contribuer au développement durable de nos systèmes économiques et des communautés à travers le monde. (Unesco)
Egalement le 5 juin, sortie mondiale du film HOME (Yann Arthus-Bertrand) sur différents médias (ciné, TV, internet, DVD)... donc accessible à tous !!!
Synopsis : En 200 000 ans d'existence, l'homme a rompu l'équilibre sur lequel la Terre vivait depuis 4 milliards d'années. Réchauffement climatique, épuisement des ressources, extinction des espèces : l'homme a mis en péril sa propre demeure. Mais il est trop tard pour être pessimiste : il reste à peine dix ans à l'humanité pour inverser la tendance, prendre conscience de son exploitation démesurée des richesses de la Terre, et changer son mode de consommation.

World Environment Day 2009
World Environment Day is celebrated every year on 5 June in more than 100 countries. The theme for 2009 is climate change and the broader consequences of environmental change, and what societies can do in response.
Combating climate change and preserving ecosystems services that underpin our economies is an issue for everyone. Every individual's efforts, no matter how small, can contribute to the sustainable development of our economies and communities around the world. (Unesco)
Also on the June 5, the film by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, HOME (Yann Arthus-Bertrand) will be released in over 50 countries in the world, and will be available in various medias (cinema, TV, internet, DVD)...
Synopsis : In 200.000 years on Earth humanity has upset the balance of the planet, established by nearly four billion yeas of evolution. The price of pay is high, but it's too late to be a pessimist : humanity has barely ten years to reverse the trend, become aware of the full extent of its spoliation of the Earth's riches and change its patterns of consumption.

… पृथ्वी का तापमान इतना बाढ़ गया है कि मार्च-अप्रैल के महीने में ही तापमान 50 के आंकड़े को छूने को बेताब हो जा रहा है. अभी जून का महीना चल रहा है, और क्या दिन, क्या रात, आपको गर्मी से त्राहि माम, त्राहि माम के अतिरिक्त कुछ और सुनाई न देगा! हालाँकि, इन समस्याओं के प्रति कई पर्यावरणविद सचेत हैं...
Mi dicono, anzi mi assicurano, che ormai sono più loro che noi. Che gli immigrati ci stanno invadendo. Considerando le persone che conosco io lo sapete che dico? Meglio così

ஒரே ஒரு பூமிதான்!
World Environment Day (similar to earth day) is celebrated every year on 5th June to raise global awareness and appreciation of nature's gift.
They are doing there part to help us, what are we doing to help them and let them sustain for our future generations.
Remember we are not the boss of the environment, but they are ours, we are dependent on them.
This world is too beautiful to be destroyed for our daily needs !!
On this World Environment day, I pledge to :
- Check and fix all leaking taps and pipes in my home.
- Avoid all electricity wastage by:
o Switch off electrical appliances when not in active use
o Put mobile/battery chargers off the plug point and not to leave appliances in standby mode to save the electricity from "vampire power".
o Switch off computer mointors at home/office when not in use.
- Avoid using vehicles when I can walk.
- Reduce usage of papers.
- Create awareness about conserving environment in people around me.
Conserve or Perish ... we are left with only two options now !!
Share your ideas/plans/actions for saving our Earth on this Environment day.
