reportagebygettyimages: On the New York Times Lens blog, Getty photographer John Moore writes of his recent trips to Mexico and Arizona. In the former, he photographed recent deportees at the San Juan Bosco Shelter in Nogales. On the other side of the border, he photographed immigrants whose journeys to the U.S. ended at the Maricopa County Tent City jail in Phoenix. He writes: The immigrants who allowed me to photograph them shared stories of a hard life. Most had come to the United States to provide for their families. But even with the challenges of crossing through the desert, being caught by immigration authorities and serving time in detention, most of the immigrants told me the same thing. They will try to come back. See more photos and read John’s full essay on the Lens blog. Photos by John Moore/Getty Images

Eagles watching the Sea Lions - Hungry for fish

commonsbc:           Bill 8 - Mass Virtual Privatization of BC’s forests This week in the B.C. Legislature, the government is tabling Bill 8. The bill’s Section 24 would hand over our remaining public forests (Timber Supply Areas) to private forestry corporations in perpetuity. Once handed over (converted into Tree Farm Licenses), tenure over this land is considered an asset of these corporations. They can then sue British Columbia for compensation if anything threatens their profits. This privatization, being planned without consultation or fanfare, is a radical move and one that threatens the opportunity of the province to responsibly manage our forest lands. Furthermore, we have no control over who owns these corporations. For more info, click here. See also valuable work by Independent MLA Bob Simpson on his site here.  Many biologists and foresters do not feel this is a wise move. it compromises our ability to make science-based decisions about BC forests. If you are concerned, please make your feelings known IMMEDIATELY by emailing and if possible tweeting: PETITION:Sign the Avaaz campaign letter.
