Conserving wild salmon: A project to gauge the impact of environmental and climate change on Scotland’s iconic wild salmon population has begun.
UNEP is working with local partners to conserve and restore mangrove forests and related coastal ecosystems, while promoting sustainable management of coastal resources. Mangroves contribute to coastal resilience by protecting against storm surges and acting as nurseries for commercially important fish species.
In this Port Salut river mouth the mangroves have been cut down for charcoal. As part of UNEP's Disaster Risk Reduction programmes, replanting of mangroves is ongoing in the South Department to protect the coastline.

Plants de mangrove, Port Salut, Département du Sud, Haïti
Le PNUE travaille avec des partenaires locaux pour conserver et restaurer les forêts de mangroves, et les écosystèmes côtiers qui y sont liés, tout en prônant la gestion durable des ressources du littoral. Les mangroves contribuent en effet à la résilience de la côte en assurant la protection contre les tempêtes et en offrant un abris aux espèces de poisson, si cruciales pour le commerce.
Dans cette embouchure de fleuve à Port Salut, les mangroves avaient été coupées pour obtenir du bois de chauffage. Dans le cadre de son programme de réduction des risques de catastrophes, le PNUE effectue actuellement des opérations de plantation de mangroves afin de protéger le littoral du Département du Sud.

Conserving his strength for chasing the ladies, with his good looks he won't have to try too hard I don't think.
In the morning assembly all the students along with staff took a pledge to conserve water. One of the teachers, Varkha Singh (Punjabi teacher) delivered a speech on the topic. After the pledge the students of 5th, 6th and 7th class were sent to nearby village named Ugrahan. They marched in the village with banners in their hands in the form of a Chetna March; they reached the Dharmsala of the village. There they performed a stage programme which started with a Shabad followed by a religious song. Then the students of 7th class played a skit which conveyed a message to conserve water. Hardeep Kaur of 10th class made a speech touching different aspects of water. Mr. Balbir Singh (S.St teacher) and Mr. Jaspal Das (S.St teacher) also delivered speeches and told the farmers gathered there to adopt crop rotation and save water for future and they shed light on keeping the environment neat and clean.
The students of 4th and 5th classes presented poems related to water.
Lady Constantia and her infant son John lie in marble, the babe in the mother’s arms, with one of its hands up to her face. With her right arm the mother gathers up the fold of the mantle she is wearing over her simple gown, which is fastened at the throat with a round brooch. Her hair is in plaited braids and on her head, which rests on a lion for a pillow, is a coronet telling of her high estate. Her feet rest on what appears to be a crouching dog.
Despite the absence of contemporary records relating to a lady named Constantia, a church guide claims rather fancifully that the woman commemorated is Constance ‘FitzHenry’, illegitimate daughter of King Henry I by one of his many mistresses, and ultimately the 23rd grandmother of the late Diana, Princess of Wales.
Nowadays conserving money and using cash wisely is more important than it ever has actually been in the past. With the existing financial climate and the skepticism of simply exactly what the future holds, recognizing exactly how cash and finance job is essential. For thus reason, youngsters need to begin discovering regarding financial institutions from an early age which is why checking account for children are so important.

Conserved remains of a gothique castle, founded in early 14th Century. It stood on the rebel side in the Hussite side, but its owner switched sides in the last phase of the conflict, and the castle was unsuccesfuly besieged by Hussites in 1434. The owning lord is mentioned a few weeks later as one of the knights, who decided the battle of Lipany, in which the Hussites were definitely crushed. The castle was used together with a newly built baroque manor until 1621, when both were plundered and burned down by imperial soldiers. The manor was quickly restored, but the castle was abandoned, and parts of it were systematically demolished, after the whole county was sold to a enterpreneur. When his son, after he inherited the castle, is elevated to a noble in 1865, he sees himslef to be a successor to the knight tradition of the castle, stops its destruction and begins conservation efforts. In the communist era the ruin was statically conserved in the then-typical way, which was not the most sensitive, it was returned together with the manor to their last owners in 1990ies, and is freely accessible today, with deep cellars and tight tunnels undergrounds.
The conserved heritage building at Maxwell Road house the Red Dot Design Museum will be connected to the Maxwell Chambers for the expansion of the Singapore's International Arbitration Court.

A large conserved ruin of a late 13th Century castle. It was besieged for nine weeks in 1339, captured and devastated, and the owner killed. King Charles IV. purchased the castle from his heirs in 1356, and restored it. It was used by the wealthiest families as a strongpoint, and was often besieged. It´s importance vanished in the 17th Century, many objects were damaged in the 18th Century when the new owners searched for a treasure. Extensive conservation was done after WW2, the chapel was completely restored and roofed. The area was opened to public in 1994, and is a very nice weekend trip target.

More than a week earlier than last year, but bearing in mind that Simone will pay us a visit tonight, I thought I might conserve Doris and hide her from Simone.

One morning as I was preparing my samples at the Cormack Lab at Mpala Research Center, Fardossa (assistant logistic manager at Mpala) walked in and asked if I could talk to kids about wildlife conservation. I gladly accepted and it was then that I met sharp looking and elated little faces. The love for nature and the curiosity to know every little thing as concerns my project affirmed the importance of engaging the young generation in wildlife conservation. I can say for a fact that the curiosity of the kids inspired me to come up with a kids’ conservation outreach program dubbed the “small five of Kenya” to complement the famous “big five of Kenya." The project is slowly taking shape and I plan to implement it in partnership with National Museums of Kenya to inspire the next generation to love and conserve wildlife.

Conserved ruins of a late 13th Century castle on a hill in a long and tight valley. The builders formerly colonized western Bohemia, and when they secured eastern Bohemia, they built new castles which they named after those in the West, there is also another Litice Castle (almost non-existent today). This castle mas a major strongpoint in the area for the next centuries, besieged and damaged in 1421, rebuilt and extended after 1450. It lost importance in the 16th Century, only the most basic personal maintained it, it´s seen as half demolished on a 1657 illustration, and last repairs were made in 1681. The northern palace was saved when it got a new roof in 1776, but the southern palace was left to it´s faith. Conservations of the remaining buildings and walls were done between 1890 and 1935, the preserved remains show that it was indeed a well built and durable fortress. The ruin was closed for some years due bad statics in the 1980´s, and reopened only after basic stabilization, a palace wall partially collapsed in 2015 and the castle still needs rescue efforts.
In celebration of Earth Day, 300 Kimball's landscaper donated a crab apple tree, which was planted in the front of the building. In addition, an Earth Day event for tenants was held in the employee lobby. Tenants received handouts about the information from Waste Management, an Earth Day trivia quiz and also an Earth Day flyer, which outlined tips tenants could do in their homes to conserve energy. Tenants also received free giveaways from Waste Management that were distributed, and four gardening baskets were raffled off.

Des stalles du château de Gaillon sont conservées dans la basilique Saint-Denis près de Paris. Ce château était la résidence de loisir des archevêques de Rouen. Commandées au début du XVIe siècle par Georges d’Amboise, ces stalles ont été construites lorsque cet archevêque, devenu légat du pape et premier conseiller de Louis XII a fait transformer le château médiéval en palais de la Renaissance. Seules stalles en France à présenter de nombreux panneaux de marqueterie et une iconographie inédite, elles forment un mobilier unique, chef-d’œuvre de cette période charnière entre gothique et Renaissance, arborant une grande mixité de styles. Ces stalles sont les chaires qui étaient destinées aux trois chanoines qui officiaient dans la chapelle haute du château de Gaillon, dédiée à saint Georges. Elles étaient ceintes d’une clôture en boiset constituaient ainsi le chœur liturgique de l'édifice.
Les stalles en chêne sont composées de deux rangées disposées côté nord et sud du transept de la basilique de Saint-Denis. La rangée nord présente un ensemble de six stalles, la rangée sud de cinq stalles et une isolée. Seules douze stalles ont été créées au XVIe siècle alors que le programme iconographique en prévoyait quatorze. De 2,83 m de haut, elles composées d’un siège et d’un dorsal, ce dernier comprenant deux registres : un bas-relief surmontant un panneau de marqueterie. Tous les éléments sont sculptés ou marquetés. De manière unique, les dossiers, les dorsaux et les voussures des dais sont galbés. De même les chaires ont des largeurs variées, fixées par celles des bas-reliefs des dorsaux. Pour s’adapter, les largeurs d’autres composants ont été rectifiées. La mixité de style se retrouve dans la globalité, les interdorsaux et deux dais étant gothiques alors que les faibles reliefs sont apparentés aux grotesques de la Renaissance, les bas-reliefs et les marqueteries des dorsaux étant quant à eux à la fois d’inspiration péninsulaire et septentrionale.
Sont illustrées sur les bas-reliefs originaux des dorsaux deux scènes de la vie d’Anne et Joachim, parents de la vierge Marie, cinq scènes de la vie de saint Jean-Baptiste le précurseur et sept scènes de la vie de saint Georges selon les textes d’Évangile ou de la Légende dorée. Nombre d’autres saints sont présentés en pied, sous forme de statuettes sur les interdorsaux ou de bas-reliefs sur les soubassements des jouées, notamment les quatre évangélistes sur ces derniers. Sur les panneaux marquetés des quadrants des parcloses sont figurées les affres des enfers des condamnés selon les sept péchés capitaux, avec les planètes et leurs influences. Les représentations sont inspirées des gravures du Calendrier des bergers imprimé à cette époque.
Les miséricordes figurent des scènes des Métamorphoses d’Ovide ainsi que les arts libéraux selon la Margarita Philosophica de G. Reisch. Les artisans se sont inspirés de gravures d’ouvrages imprimés au début du XVIe siècle, par exemple le soldat romain Caius Mucius Scaevola devant le roi Étrusque Porsenna y étant représenté exposant ainsi des thématiques propres à la culture antique. De manière également tout à fait inédite, les 7 vertus, cardinales et théologales, et 7 sibylles sont figurées et représentées sur les panneaux de marqueterie du premier registre des dorsaux. Les allégories et les prophétesses sont encadrées d’architectures identiques deux à deux qui les mettent en concordance. Les sibylles ont été choisies parmi celles du manuscrit des Heures de Louis de Laval dont les auteurs ont cité les prophéties. Ces dernières proviennent du manuscrit des Institutions divines de Lactance qui était de nouveau traduit et que le cardinal a lui-même fait enluminer. Ce grand rhéteur du IVe siècle ayant quant à lui repris les oracles rédigés dans les Oracles sibyllins.
Georges Ier d’Amboise n’a pas manqué de faire valoir qu’il était le commanditaire des stalles en demandant à ce que ses armes et sa devise y figurent à de nombreuses reprises. Le légat a donné pour modèles aux artisans des stalles des enluminures ou gravures de manuscrits faisant partie de sa splendide bibliothèque, digne d'un grand érudit humaniste. Il fit venir l’Italie en choisissant la marqueterie figurative en sus de la sculpture, seule technique utilisée à l'époque en France. Sans renier la tradition en faisant figurer les saints, il a fait représenter de manière inédite leur cycle de vie, dont il a choisi des événements bien spécifiques. De plus, il a incité les fidèles à s’instruire et à étudier les auteurs antiques en faisant sculpter des allégories des arts libéraux et des personnages mythiques ou héroïques. Enfin, par le dialogue des sibylles et des vertus, il a montré que la rhétorique de Lactance était convaincante. Il a ainsi non seulement introduit en France la mode italienne dans le mobilier, le décor et les ornements du château de Gaillon, mais surtout donné corps à l’esprit humaniste en faisant de ses stalles les messagères qui appellent à une vie vertueuse, dans la foi au Christ annoncé à tous les hommes (cf. wikipédia, merci Glass Angel pour la photo).
