🍃“In an exquisitely diverse country, no ecosystem is as unique and directly integrated into the #Health and well-being of colombian society as the High Andean #páramo.”Daniel Henryk Rasolt. Happy #EarthDay2022 ! 🌎 The Revelator Center for Biological Diversity Instituto Humboldt bit.ly/3vFmDP0

🚧“Development” along the #Mekong River Basin, especially in the form of #hydroelectric dams, has caused both local and basin-scale impacts, with traditional rural and #fishing communities in downstream #Cambodia and #Vietnam hit hardest.   bit.ly/3KkromD #Earth #Health

🐟 About 80% of Cambodia's population depends on freshwater fish for their diet and livelihood. In #Cambodia, the Tonle Sap Lake, which connects to the Mekong river, has been known as one of the world's most productive freshwater fisheries! #Health #nature #Sustainability

Astrocaryum chambira, also known as “cumare,” is important to the socio-ecological systems of several Amazonian #Indigenouspeoples. Koregüaje women make crafts of deep cultural significance from cumare fiber. The Revelator Instituto SINCHI 🇨🇴 bit.ly/3wrGFNA #sustainable

🌳Cypress trees are common to Florida’s wetland ecosystems and are critical for biodiversity, flood control, water quality and much more. They can live for hundreds to even thousands of years. #water #nature #Florida Rivers #conservation #Health unboundedworld.com

The flooded #forests surrounding #Cambodia’s Tonle Sap Lake,which includes Barringtonia acutangula (commonly referred to as freshwater mangroves),are breeding grounds for many endemic fish species, and also a habitat for terrestrial #wildlife, including rare and endangered birds.

🌳Mangrove #forests serve a range of vital functions, such as flood and erosion control, carbon sequestration and as an aquatic nursery for many fish species. Mangroves are also critical for terrestrial biodiversity, such as #birds and #megabats. #nature #Philippines #Travel

Florida’s #wetlands,from inland freshwater swamps, marshes, bogs and Cypress Domes,to brackish mangrove swamps,harbor tremendous #biodiversity and ecosystem services. More than 30% of #Florida is wetlands, around 90% of which are freshwater.bit.ly/3xzPDte #NatureBeauty

🌿Wetlands from the Tonle Sap Lake in #Cambodia to the Mekong Delta in Vietnam, are rich in #biodiversity and vital to alimentation. #Climatechange , #deforestation and upstream dams cumulatively threaten these #wetlands. bit.ly/3xzPDte #Health #NaturePhotograhpy

⛰️Andean #Rivers “carry nutrients through the vast #AmazonRiver basin, some 4,000 miles across the South American continent. In the #rainforest and delta estuaries, another, more ethereal—but no less essential—river is forming.” ~Daniel Henryk Rasolt. Nautilus Magazine rb.gy/hk4ha
