On the southeastern coast of Jayapura city lies a mangrove forest where only women are permitted to enter. Women collect clams, firewood, fish and tell stories here — but as pollution, development and biodiversity loss shrink the forest and stunt plant and animal life, those in the village fear an important part of their traditions and livelihoods will be lost. The women's forest has seen the steady development of the nearby city of Jayapura cut into their forest and bring trash to their bay. Efforts to shield the forest from devastation have begun, but are still relatively small scale.
With their beautiful colors and massive amounts of blooms, chrysanthemums have always been one of my go-to choices for fall decorations.
Forests of native trees and plants once blanketed the Western Ghats mountains in southern India, but nearly 200 years ago, British colonists installed rows upon rows of tea plantations there. The few groves that stand today are either protected by Indigenous communities who preserve them for their faith and traditions, or are being grown and tended back into existence by ecologists who remove tea trees from disused farms and plant seeds native to this biodiverse region. It takes decades, but their efforts are finally starting to see results as forests flourish despite ecological damage and wilder weather caused by climate change.

Joe Biden witnessed the devastation of drought up close as the first sitting American president to set foot the Amazon rainforest. He declared Sunday that nobody can reverse “the clean energy revolution that’s underway in America” even as the incoming Trump administration is poised to scale back efforts to combat climate change. Biden said the fight against climate change has been a defining cause of his presidency. But he’s about to hand off to Republican President-elect Donald Trump, who is highly unlikely to prioritize the Amazon or anything related to climate change.
