Ties van der Hoevenās ambitions are nothing if not grand. The Dutch engineer wants to transform a huge stretch of inhospitable desert into green, fertile land teeming with wildlife.
His sights are set on Egyptās Sinai Peninsula, Thousands of years ago it was bursting with life, he said, but years of farming and other human activity have helped turn it into a barren desert.
Van der Hoeven is convinced he can bring it back to life. Sep 8, 2024

A plaza in downtown Denver, Colorado was a āharsh place,ā a āterrible concrete plaza,ā explained Kasey Toomey, PLA, landscape architect, art
What a change from a concrete plaza to a lush landscaped area.
Kudos to All involved for the transformation of Denver 17th Street Corner Plaza.
Native plants crowded onto postage-stamp-size plots have been delivering environmental benefits around the world ā and, increasingly, in the
āI must have seen ten deer that day, but I only took the oneā [ā¦] The young men listen, looking intently at the porch floor. āThe first one came crunching through the dry leaves but was shielded by the brush. It never saw me sitting there. Then a young buck came moving upwind toward me and stepped behind a Boulder. I could have tracked it and followed it across the crick, but I knew it wasnāt the oneā. Deer by deer, he recounts the days encounters for which he never even raised his rifle: the doe by the water, the three pointer concealed behind a basswood with only its rump showing. āI take only one bullet with me,ā he says. The young men lean forward on the bench across from him. āAnd then, without explanation, thereās one who walks right into the clearing and looks you in the eye. He knows full well that youāre there and what youāre doing. He turns his flank right toward you for a clear shot. I j is heās the one. And so does he. Thereās a kind of nod exchanged. Thatās why I only carry with me one shot. I wait for the one. He gave himself to me. Thatās what I was taught: take only what is given, and then treat it with respectā

From Sweden to Sierra Leone, cities are turning the climate crisis into an opportunity for happier, healthier and smarter living
āHot town! Summer in the cityā¦!ā
Itās a cracking song ā a 1960s anthem to hedonism āĀ and no surprise that itās been anĀ āearwormā going through my head this morning, as I wrestle with a jammed blind, trying to create some paltry shade for my desk as the mercury soars towards the 40s.
And if that sounds all too familiar, it could seem relatively cool in the not so distant future. Rather masochistically, you may think, Iāve been reading predictions of how summers in the city could get a lot hotter, and not in a good way, as the climate spins out of control.
What caught my eye, though, was not the familiar warnings of what life in a 50-degree city might be like (borderline impossible, basically). Rather, I was struck by the sheer range of responses that cities across the world are starting to put in place to cool the streets. Responses that donāt just turn down the urban thermostat, but that make life sweeter for their people in the here and now.

This film was first broadcast on the BBC World in 2009 the day before the Copenhagen COP 15 of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. It discusses a viable solution to human induced climate change. Nothing in the years since it was first broadcast has changed this. It is more important now than when it was first broadcast. The Sponsorship was arrange by IUCN and the financial sponsors had no input in the content and did not see the film until it was broadcast. Ā Ā
āIf people were the problem, they could also be the solution.ā
Dear Friends: Here is a link to an article about a design for a new project in the Sinai Peninsula. Ā In many ways this project represents some of the highest potential for ecological restoration. The Article published in the Kosmos Journal Summer 2019 issue discusses events over 3 years of a collaborative inquiry to understand how the massive desertification in North Africa and the middle east took place and how to restore it. https://www.kosmosjournal.org/kj_article/the-holy-grail-of-restoration/
