#Regram #RG @na******eotravel: Photo by @max.lowe // Watching this white bear move across the arctic tundra I stood for a moment in surreal awe, witnessing something I had heard about my whole life and had never been sure I would actually experience in person. We all hear about the threat of climate change when it comes to arctic ecosystems, but polar bears truly are the big white fuzzy canaries in the coal mine. As the apex predators of their world, the slow recession of the sea ice’s development into the winter season has a sharp and direct impact on their wellbeing as they depend on that ice to hunt seals, and have no other food source that can supplement to support their massive appetite. I only hope we can make the change needed so that our children’s children might know these bears as a creature that shares their world as we do.

#Regram #RG @na******eo: Photo by Charlie Hamilton James @chamiltonjames | A lone male elephant reaches for fresh leaves in the branches in Gorongosa National Park, Mozambique, last week. We all know about the threats facing elephants and their decline in many parks across Africa. But in Gorongosa, elephant numbers are recovering. Years of civil war wiped out much of the park's wildlife, and poaching persisted until recently. However, increased security and investment into the park and the people who live in and around it have brought life back and now the park is thriving again. The story of Gorongosa will be featured in @na******eo magazine next year.

#Regram #RG @amazonfrontlines: A young Kofan filmmaker trainee from Sinangoe uses his camera to document moments from his community's major victory earlier this week, as part of a landmark legal battle to defend one of Ecuador’s largest and most important rivers, and nullify 52 gold mining concessions. "My camera is a weapon", says Nixon Andi, who uses his camera as as a tool to show the beauty of his ancestral land, the richness of his culture, but also the threats, destruction, and violations which his people and rainforest home face.

#Regram #RG @everydayclimatechange: Photo by Mette Lampcov @mettelampcov for @everydayclimatechange The world’s oceans have been absorbing far more excess heat in recent decades than scientists had predicted - the Earth could be set to warm even faster. Over the past quarter-century, Earth’s oceans have retained 60 percent more heat than scientists had originally foreseen. The world's oceans have absorbed more than 93% of the excess heat from greenhouse gas emissions, mainly from fossil fuels, leading to an increase in global ocean temperatures. The warming of the oceans leads to deoxygenation, and sea level rise resulting from the expanding seas as they heat up and increase the melting of sea ice. This will have multiple effects on marine life such as loss of breeding grounds for marine mammals, seabirds and fisheries. Millions of people rely on fisheries and aquaculture for a source of income and protein worldwide. The rise in ocean temperatures are also causing more severe hurricanes, and intensified El Nino events that will have huge socio-economic impact with extreme weather events such flooding and drought - #climatechangeisreal #worldoceans#oceans #wave#documentaryphotography#dronephotography #naturephotography#environment #sciencefacts#protectouroceans #california#globalwarming
