NWNL has posted a new 5 minute video on SOIL on its website! Like global water supplies, our soil is a limited resource; and the health of our soil is dependent on water. This film explains that soil creates food production, fiber for fuel, water availability, nutrient recycling and organic carbon stocks. Plus, soil is responsible for 1/4 of our global biodiversity.
Erosion, nutrient decline, acidification, salinization, compaction, and pollution quickly degrade our soils. However, soil restoration isn’t easy: it takes 100–1000 years to form just 1 centimeter of soil! More intense irrigation for more food for more people, plus climate change impacts, necessitate innovative solutions such as those discussed in this film.
No Water No Life® is an LLC project founded in 2006 to raise awareness of the values and vulnerability of our freshwater resources, plus solutions to their sustainable management. NWNL Director and lead photographer Alison M Jones is Sr Fellow of International League of Conservation Photographers and International League of Conservation Writers, a Fellow of The Explorers Club, and member of North American Nature Photography Assoc., Society of Environmental Journalists, Tewksbury Land Trust Board (NJ), and other related organizations.
While NWNL hosts bloggers from all over the world, and especially NextGen student bloggers, their opinions do not necessarily represent the views of NWNL.
