#Regram #RG @na******eo: Photo by @FransLanting On April 22 we celebrate Earth Day—a moment to recognize what the planet does for us, and what we can do in return. I’m offering this image of a rainforest in Borneo at dawn as a confirmation of its importance for global life cycles. Its forests exhale the oxygen and water that we depend on every day. Let’s make every day Earth Day. Follow us @ChristineEckstrom and @FransLanting to learn more about our living planet. @ThePhotoSociety @world_wildlife @conservationorg #EarthDay #EarthDayEveryDay #Gratitude #Forests

#Regram #RG @discoverychannel: “The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit? Yes. Settle? Not yet. Like it or not, for the moment, the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. ... To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another and to preserve, and cherish, the pale blue dot; the only home we've ever known.” ?? #EarthDayLive ― Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space

#Regram #RG @yearsofliving: ??Way to go Denver ?? In only four years, Denver has tripled its supply of solar power, becoming the ninth largest solar capacity city in the country. With a growing solar industry and plans of cutting fossil fuel emissions in half by 2020, it looks like @CityofDenver has a bright future. Do you know if your city plans to switch to solar?

#Regram #RG @everydayclimatechange: photo by John Novis @johnnovis for @everydayclimatechange Nomadic Shepherdess - Madoi County, Tibet Platueau, Qinghai, China. Extreme changes in environmental conditions since the 1980’s is forcing nomadic families from their traditional way of life due to climate change and overgrazing increasing grassland degradation, depriving them of their livelihood. Under massive Chinese state engineering policies, many Tibetan nomads from the Yellow River source areas have already been removed from their land to urban areas where they live in concrete compounds facing increasing difficulties, lacking skills or language ability. Fluctuations in the amount of water at the Yellow River source are closely connected to climate change. Any abnormal climatic changes impact the amount of rain brought here. This has a direct effect on the grassland. If rainfall is high one year, grassland vegetation will grow well, but too little rainfall will cause a decline, directly affecting animals that rely on the grasslands. In the last 30 years, the region has lost 17% of its glaciers and the rate of melting ice is now 10 times faster than it has been for the previous 300 years. Environmental study in the region identifies further problems linked to climate change including: dried lakes, advancing deserts, subsidence from melted permafrost, soil erosion and threatened species such as the Tibetan Lynx and the Snow Leopard. #shepherdess #sheep #sheepdog #horse #climatechange #climatechangeisreal #everydayclimatechange #globalwarming #yellowriver #tibetplateau #qinghai #desertification #china @greenpeace

#Regram #RG @conservationorg: Coastal communities facing rising seas and stronger storms need help adapting to the effects of climate change. Through a mix of “green” infrastructure (mangroves, for example) and “gray” infrastructure (such as seawalls) we find an effective — and cost-effective — way to protect these threatened coastal communities.

#Regram #RG @earthjustice: "Where I live, in Micronesia, sea rise is hurting my friends and family. So me and this little climate change activist are here because we have to act now. Climate change is happening." Meeyoung Kim-Tawerilmal and her son Troy participated in the People’s Climate March last year in Washington, D.C. to raise awareness about #ClimateChange, as rising ocean waters impact their community every day.

#Regram #RG @lionrecovery: Growing livestock numbers pose serious challenges for lion conservation. However, community rangelands provide important habitats for lions and their prey in many areas. Promoting co-existence between people and lions is thus essential and a core part of the LRF strategy for recovering lions.

#Regram #RG @wwf_act: Bristol Bay is one of the most productive marine and terrestrial ecosystems in the world and the source of the world's largest wild salmon fishery. It's being threatened by the proposed Pebble Mine, which would be the largest open pit mine in North America. This must be stopped. We only have 30 days to gather as much opposition for the Pebble Mine. Can we count on your voice? Check the link in our bio to add your name now.

#Regram #RG @unbiodiversity: Every year we lose 13 million hectares of forest that are home to more than 80% of all land-based species and provide livelihood to 1.6 billion people. By halting deforestation and restoring degraded lands we can protect our natural world and those who depend on it! @unenvironment Photo credit: Casey Horner/ Unsplash .#GlobalGoal15 #GlobalGoals #LifeOnLand #environment #forests #LandDegradation #biodiversity #biodiversidad #biodiversite #naturescontribution #nature #science #policy #ipbes #ourplanetdaily #ig_captures #wildlife_perfection #nature_brilliance #naturesbest #na******eo #lonelyplanet #unitednations #photooftheday #picoftheday

#Regram #RG @virunganationalpark: We are deeply saddened by the deaths of five Virunga Rangers and their driver in an attack in the Central Sector of the Park yesterday. The park’s Chief Warden, Emmanuel de Merode, stated; “Virunga has lost some extraordinarily brave rangers who were deeply committed to working in service of their communities. It is unacceptable that Virunga’s rangers continue to pay the highest price in defense of our common heritage and we are devastated that their lives have been cut short in this way.” Click the link in our bio to read more.
