The #Trump admin proposed Monday to significantly limit the EPA’s authority to limit #pollution in #wetlands, #rivers & other bodies of #water across the country.

The proposed rule could strip federal #protections from millions of acres of wetlands & #streams, potentially threatening sources of clean #DrinkingWater for millions of Americans.

“Reconciliation ecology,” a term coined in 2003, aims to increase #biodiversity in human-dominated landscapes. Think of it as #conservation for the Anthropocene.

A Journey Through the Currents of Human History

A magisterial history of the seven rivers representing the great natural arteries running through civilization, by virtue of the roles they have played in our shared and conflicted world history.
Every river deserves its own history.

The seven rivers in this narrative were chosen because they are major rivers that magnify the common qualities of these great natural arteries that run through civilization. The Nile, Danube, Niger, Mississippi, Ganges, Yangtze, and Thames are all "world rivers" by virtue of the roles they have each played in our shared and conflicted world history.

They have served as the power bases for empires and have been fought over as frontiers. Their river basins—those great systems of tributaries and groundwater all flowing to the main river—have been plundered for their gold, timber, salt, oil, rubber, and their people. Vast networks have been forged between these rivers. — A Journey Through the Currents of Human History A magisterial history of the seven rivers representing the great natural arteries running through civilization, by virtue of the roles they have played in our shared and conflicted world history.

India fears a planned Chinese mega-dam in Tibet will reduce water flows on a major river by up to 85% during the dry season, prompting Delhi to fast-track plans for its own dam to mitigate the effects. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/25/asia-pacific/politics/china-dam-water-war-india/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #politics #china #india #narendramodi #xijinping #water #conservation #dams #climatechange #environment #rivers #hydropower #tibet

Hopes of striking gold or unearthing precious stones keep artisanal mining alive in Mozambique, at the cost of the health of its land and people. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/08/20/sustainability/mozambique-illegal-miners/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #sustainability #mozambique #africa #mining #gold #pollution #rivers #environment

The Buller River shot from the swing bridge. Really enjoyed wandering around the old gold mining sites. Quite an old photo with a fresh edit.

Yesterday: I've had it with hearing the same story over and over again—another 100-year-plus rainfall event, another tragic result from people occupying the floodplain without an adequate warning system. More pain. More loss. https://www.texasobserver.org/flooding-houston-hill-country-planning/

The name yarae comes from Yara, a mythical figure from the Indigenous Tupi and Guaraní cultures. Yara is known as the mother of the waters, a powerful spirit of beauty and protection. Naming this ray after her is both a tribute and a call to action. The formal recognition of Mobula yarae opens the door for targeted conservation efforts.
