A 6-year-old boy is fishing at night. Fishing is integral to his life. His five to six family members must live on the very small amount of fish they catch.Such families are highly vulnerable to climate change. Their economies, diets, and social lives depend on the fisheries sector. However, climate change harms freshwater culture fisheries in Bangladesh.

Rope access technicians perform maintenance service on wind turbines, including repairs, blade inspections, and cleaning in Izmir, Turkey, on February 19, 2021. In Turkey, investments in renewable energy have increased, resulting in over 3,500 wind tribunes. Turbines, which are installed using huge cranes and high platforms, require routine maintenance and repair work. Technicians arrive at the wind park and stop the turbines. Crews of rope access technicians must then descend from approximately 100 meters to perform maintenance and repair, spending about an hour on each blade of the turbine.

Tuna seen in Izmir, Turkey, on December 05, 2021. After being caught in the Mediterranean, tuna are grown in cages in the Aegean Sea. These tuna are in demand in Japan, and there is a growing demand in South Korea. Every May, Turkish fishermen go to the Mediterranean Sea and bring the fish they catch to farms in the Aegean Sea. They must follow the quotas given to Turkey by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT).

Sustainable forest use is essential to combat climate change and prevent the degradation of Amazonian forests. The Association of Wood Industrialists of Padre Abad (AIMPA) is an association of small producers located in Ucayali, Peru, which has some of the most significant biological wealth in the Peruvian Amazon. Thirty-three AIMPA partners are committed to the sustainable management of forests and cover the entire value chain of wood, from the forest to the market. With the technical assistance of USAID Pro-Bosques, AIMPA faces the main challenges of the Peruvian forestry sector: to ensure the fluidity of the legal supply of wood, to offer products with higher quality, to access more demanding markets, and to generate more income for its members. The association has a local forest of 7,000 hectares and an industrial complex of 6 hectares. AIMPA is a clear example that the association of small producers committed to the legal supply of wood is possible, profitable, and environmentally sustainable.

Climate change affects our way of life by increasing pressure on the territories of indigenous peoples. These territories are often rich in biological biodiversity and the community's source of livelihood. This indigenous leader is committed to protecting and sustainably managing the resources of his home territory in the Junín Pablo community, located in the Imiría Regional Conservation Area (ACR Imiría). Strengthening community-led control and surveillance through actions like ensuring the area's legal security is crucial for indigenous rights. It minimizes the threats to their communities, including the threat of climate change. USAID Pro-Bosques provides technical assistance to representative indigenous organizations and their peoples by using modern techniques to delimit territories. To strengthen community-led control and surveillance efforts, the project has also equipped groups with various tools such as boats, GPS, and binoculars.

Deforestation deprives Amazonian populations of the goods and services provided by the forests. In addition, it generates greenhouse gas emissions. One of the main reasons for deforestation in the Amazon is the felling of aguaje palm trees, a common fruit tree of the Peruvian jungle. The fruits are located at the top of the tree, which can grow up to 4 meters, making harvesting difficult. For this reason, USAID Pro-Basques has been training the indigenous communities of Loreto, Peru, on scaling techniques for a safe harvest. The program offers communities equipment to facilitate the task. This allows them to optimize productivity. This photo shows a 30 year-old woman from the native community of Lobo Santarocino, in the province of Requena. She has been climbing for a few years and appreciates that she now has safe tools to climb and preserve the aguaje palm trees.

The Control and Surveillance Committees (CVC) were created based on the belief that communities themselves can take proper care of their territories and the forest resources that are part of it. In recent years, fishing, wilderness, and timber resources have been misused, driving many resources to extinction. Therefore, the CVCs have helped communities to safeguard natural resources while providing institutionality. This ensures respect for the territories and the natural resources communities possess. USAID Pro-Bosques has contributed to the process of strengthening the CVCs. It has provided "forest custodians" with implements such as uniforms, GPS, satellite phones, whistles, and other tools so they may adequately perform their functions. The Loreto regional forestry authority officially recognized the CVCs, so the indigenous communities have been able to preserve their resources responsibly.

Plastic bags in Mozambique, both light and heavyweight, are one of the most lethal killers of marine life. Small animals, such as fish, get entangled in plastic and drown.

Recycling can conserve natural resources. Recycling is an important factor in conserving natural resources and greatly contributes towards improving the environment. Recycling conserves natural resources, such as wood, water, minerals, and fossil fuels, because materials can be reused.
