Back in 1970, then-President Richard Nixon signed an executive order establishing the Environmental Protection Agency. Just after its creation, the EPA created a photo-documentary project called "Project Documerica." Its purpose? To "record the state of the environment and efforts to improve it."

Similar to the famous photography program by Rex Tugwell's and Roy Stryker's Farm Security Administration, which depicted daily life in Depression-era America, the project examined the "rapid decaying" of the United States' environment. It focused on "environmental concerns of the early 1970s: water, air, and noise pollution; unchecked urbanization; poverty; environmental impact on public health; and youth culture of the day." The project also showed the country's commitment to solving these problems by showing "positive images of human life and Americans’ reactions, responses, and resourcefulness…"

Syria: Little boy in Aleppo a reminder of war's horror - CNN.com

(CNN) His name is Omran Daqneesh. The image of him, bloodied and covered with dust, sitting silently in an ambulance awaiting help, is another stark reminder of the toll of the war in Syria.

He is young -- one witness puts him at five years old, as old as the Syrian war itself. But his chubby arms and legs and the way he clings to the man who pulled him from the rubble of his bombed-out home suggest he is younger, maybe still a toddler...

Learning to levitate (cougar photo)

This cougar mom is doing amazing things to reach the beaver carcass up high in the tree. We use frozen beaver carcasses to attract wolverines to our sites, so we can collect their DNA, to study their populations in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Sometimes other carnivores, like this cougar/puma/mountain lion family, find the bait and try to eat it. This photo was taken using a remote wildlife camera.

A long bout of a female puma caterwauling to attract a mate. Female pumas frequently use caterwauling to attract mates:  http://journals.plos.org/plosone/arti... In this case, I documented her traveling with a male puma 8 hours later.

Make no mistake. Vast GMO monocultures and Roundup herbicide are the main reason for the Monarch butterfly decline. Monsanto and the agrichemical industry are fully aware of this. Boycott GMOs. Boycott Roundup. Save the Monarch.

Russian Photographer Captures The Cutest Squirrel Photo Session Ever | Bored Panda

Talented Russian nature photographer Vadim Trunov has had close encounters with squirrels before, but this is the first time we’ve seen his photos of squirrels playing or shooting photos of each other! The photographer recently published some photos he’s captured of squirrels that seem to be building snowmen or playing volleyball with nuts.

The truth is a bit different, however – it’s winter, these squirrels are hungry, and they want food! In fact, the ones with the pine cone and the nut are fighting over the winter food, which Trunov left in a clearing so he could photograph the squirrels.

Trunov takes wonderful wildlife photos whether it’s winter or summer – check out his macro nature photography as well!
