Environmental Topics
Costs and benefits can vary on environmental issues such as agriculture, ecotourism, fires and urbanization – and the camera can help highlight both. Instances of wildlife disease and invasives species can be vividly demonstrated with the right image.
Humans & the EnvironmentDeforestation, restoration, agriculture, and urbanization are among the ways humans impact a landscape. For more images depicting human conservation efforts, see the Management folder. Environment DegradationOver time, both human and natural processes can result in environmental degradation, as demonstrated in these images. See also the Pollution folder. FireWhere there is fire, there are often humans, as the cause, as a victim, or as a manager - controlling or battling the blaze, and determining the results on the environment. |
Invasive SpeciesInvasive animals, plants, and microorganisms are featured within this ever-expanding category. This folder only includes images taken where an organism is spreading outside its native range. See Introduced Species for images of species outside their native range but not yet expanding. PollinatorsPollinators are animals that help promote reproduction for a plant species by carrying pollen from a male floral organ to a female floral organ. Whether common or rare, a pollinator plays a key role within an ecosystem. Threatened & Endangered SpeciesThreatened and endangered species are those with the potential to be lost forever. We must hope – and work to ensure – that the future holds more than photographs of these unique animals and plants. |
