Biodiversity of meadows degraded by fossil fuel machinery and fertilisers

Plant inventories dating back to 1884 and nearly thrown away enable unique time-lapse study of biodiversity in Swiss meadows

Technology assessment could be defined as "a form of policy research that examines short- and long term consequences (for example, societal, economic, ethical, legal) of the application of technology."

Warming climate—not overgrazing—is biggest threat to rangelands, study suggests

More than half of Earth's terrestrial surface is rangeland—vast open areas of native vegetation, suitable for grazing. These areas feed 50% of the world's livestock and support the livelihoods of more than 2 billion people. The continental U.S. is about one-third rangeland.

Peaceful at the border in Anlong Veng

The countryside in the north of Cambodia is very pretty. Add in this man-made lake and enjoy animals going on with their peaceful business in the setting sun.

There is more modern history in this small border town of Anlong Veng than you would expect. I have visited this place several times to see and learn.

But I always take some time to contemplate and enjoy the outlook by this lake.

Not so peaceful history
Anlong Veng in Oddar Meanchey Province is a typical small town in Northern Cambodia. It is close to the mountain ridge marking the border to Thailand’s Isaan region.

The artificial lake was constructed by the KR cadre Ta Mok to regulate the local river to reduce flooding. And making a tremendous view from his villa complex northwest of the lake. Pol Pot was said to spend a lot of time there during the later years of his civil wars before and after the peace accords. There are work going on to make the house complex into a museum of KR activities and destructive time ruling the country.

Schafe sind auf den Färöer allgegenwärtig und prägen die Landschaft entscheidend. Ihr Weideverhalten beeinflusst Vegetation und Bodengestalt – von kurzen, moosigen Matten bis zu offenen Hochflächen. Ohne sie wäre die Inselnatur dichter, höher und vielleicht weniger zugänglich.
