Lake Uru Uru, is the smaller brother of lake Poopó in the Oruro Department, Bolivia. Together they form a valuable RAMSAR-site since July 2002. A place where both, indigneous people and endemic and endangered birds, such as the Chilean flamingo, can find their food Although this beautiful landscape seems perfect (as some the pictures may suggest): Blue water, open sky, nature and people living peacefuly together. There is also a counterside. Both the lakes got heavily contaminated because of various factors. Mining activities in the sorrounding region, bad management of sewer coming from te city of Oruro and a too low awareness about waste management. Due to the contamination hundreds of thousands of fish have died in November 2014. Meaning an inmense loss of food and economic resources for the local indigenous Uru population in the region. On top of that also the danger of extinction for the red list species and the local Uru people living in this area.On the field trip we where undertaking we met a girl walking along a deserted road going through the Lago Uru Uru area. Driving past the heavily contaminated wetlands this only dramaticised the whole picture. We took the girl with us to the farm she and her mother where working that day at the end of the road where the road ends in the Lago Uru Uru. The farm situated in the little traditional Uru-houses, only less than a mile away from the heavily contaminated fields, keeps both sheeps and cows living alongside of the lake. Also a large variety of bird-species can be spotted in this area. Delivering really pittoresque images. On the other hand stories were told by the farmer that the sheep were being born more and more in deformed way. Also the farms’ cows where faced with more and more miscarriages. The cause for these severe problems for the Uru-population is not really hard to find since the proof is literally around the corner.

Lack of breeding sites for storks can be a problem where good habitats are around. In the Danube Delta (Europe, Romania), cutting and selling the reed is almost the only source of income for the local people. The reed is deposited in the field next from where it was harvested, until is sold or transported . In the spring of 2008, a pair of storks built a nest on this almost 3 meters high pile of reed and it's there ever since as the owners refused to destroy the nest.

En el municipio Ipojuca del estado de Pernambuco en el noreste Brasilero se encuentra el Pontal de Maracaipe. En esta región, lugareños han protegido del desarrollo urbano al manglar y a la gran biodiversidad que se desarrolla en él. Para ello diversas actividades se desarrollan en esta área húmeda visando el desarrollo social y la conservación ambiental. Como se observa en la narrativa fotográfica, actividades turísticas de bajo impacto ambiental permiten que los lugareños obtengan beneficios económicos y de esta forma puedan beneficiarse de la conservación del manglar.
