Second, rivers that carry large amounts of sediment pose special challenges for embankment construction. Eastern Himalayan rivers are known for carrying sediment; the Kosi, for example, carries with it a cubic kilometre of earth every 8 to 12 years. When rivers debouch from the hills into the plains, their sediment settles in the river beds, leading the rivers to continually rise vis-à-vis the surrounding land. Left to their own devices, the rivers naturally meander to lower ground. But if they are embanked, they become artificially elevated. If their embankments do not breach first, rivers will overtop unless they are outfitted with ever-higher embankments or are continually dredged. Both of these solutions, however, are costly.

over time, entire sections of each level can be extended or taken away as needed, without affecting the rest of the building.

But with so little ancient rainforest remaining in B.C.’s interior, and only 30 per cent of the world’s primary forests still intact, Connolly and DellaSala believe every single splotch of unprotected forest green on the map deserves immediate protection.

The idea went nowhere at the time. But a handful of congressional Democrats, including Senator Jon Tester of Montana, did not rule out supporting the plan in the future.

However, embankments also receive widespread popular support from communities that live along rivers. Although local residents are frustrated by routine breaches (some embankments breach every year), most think the solution is to build more permanent, expensive and higher embankments. This outlook is reinforced by politicians and the media who rarely question the overall approach of embanking rivers.

“Caribou biologists wedded to predator control are at a loss to explain the rapid decline of some herds,” Goward notes. “In my view, episodic starvation is certainly part of the story.”

for two years, estudio cavernas has trained members of the community in sustainable construction techniques and sourcing local materials.

Being a well-established process that’s helped combat steel corrosion for over a century, the benefits of galvanisation have been proven extensively. The main benefits are as follows:

these green hubs are essentially bus stops with grass and wildflowers on the roof that aim to encourage pollination.

I met Ali when I was in college, and Claire and I became friends through her. A little over a year ago, I was living in Portland, and Claire invited me to come visit. That was when she said, “I don’t know how your business is doing, but our parking lot is yours if you want to set up in a trailer.” And now Claire and Nikki and Ali and I all live within a three-block radius of each other. It’s like Sesame Street. When I first moved out here, I had zero cell service so Claire got me walkie talkies for my birthday. We would come home from work and just radio over invitations to hang out.

The giants of the inland temperate forest are all old, yet a much shorter growing season means that only some reach the Leviathan proportions of the coastal behemoths, 54 of which the B.C. government recently protected from logging on the grounds that some of the largest trees deserve to stand.

The seven bikers were killed last month when a pickup hauling a trailer crashed into them. Volodymyr Zhukovskyy, 23, pleaded not guilty to negligent homicide and remains jailed.
