Seasons of the Chitral Valley
Chitral & Gilgit-Baltistan
Each season has its colors with a lot of seasonal birds and wildlife. In spring and winter, we receive migratory birds as the Chitral valley is the migratory route to the waterfowl on their way to and from Siberia. During autumn, northern Pakistan presents a stunning view with colorful leaves, and summers are known for juicy fruits (mulberry, peaches, apricots, grapes, cherries, etc.). The spring season is equally attractive with the blossoms of apricot and apple. Winters are harsh, and we receive heavy snowfall and avalanches everywhere. We do not have complicated structured buildings in the area, and people live simply in harmony with nature.
Connection with nature has simplified habits, polished our behavior, minimized need, and purified us spiritually - Shams Uddin

Installing bird nesting boxes on Hobart's eastern shore
Over the years, the Tranmere-Clarence Plains Land and Coastcare group noticed a lot of large trees around Tranmere were disappearing. As they tell film-maker Marcio Conrado, they were concerned the loss of trees was having an impact on local bird species. So they're doing something about it.
Species, emotion and place
Take a moment to think about a species you care about, and the emotions you feel when you think about the interactions you've had. You might feel a sense of magic or a loss of words. Ecologist and PhD student Edith Shum wants to understand that feeling and how it connects to place and environmental change.
