Chasing Winter, Katie Orlinsky

“Climate change is an urgent crisis that will affect everyone on the planet, and for millions of people it already has. Nowhere is this clearer than the Alaskan Arctic. Scientists call Alaska “ground zero” for climate change, and this past July was the hottest month on historical record. But climate change in Alaska means more then just warmer weather; it means devastating wildfires, intense storms, vanishing sea ice, retreating glaciers, thawing permafrost, and diminishing natural habitats affecting both animal species and the people who depend on them. For Alaska’s indigenous people, especially those living in rural areas, climate change threatens to bring the end to their way of life. Hunting, fishing and foraging for food, known as “subsistence,” is the anchor of culture and economy for Alaska’s many indigenous groups, some of which are so fragile that only a handful of living elders still speak their native languages.“ | Alexia Foundation

Where The River Runs Through: Life in the Amazon Dam Boom, Aaron Vincent Elkaim

“The sound of thousands of different species harmonizing echoed in my ears as I lay in my hammock on my first night in the Xikrín community of Pot Crô on the Bacaja River in Brazil’s Amazon Rainforest; the name of the river means “that which flows is our veins.” I awoke at first light to find children playing a game of who could stand in a red ant hill the longest before having to jump into a puddle for relief. In that moment and in the days and weeks that proceeded I saw how those born and raised in the midst of nature were different than the rest of us. Their needs and desires were not determined by material goods, but by what nature simply provided and they were fighting to protect it.” | Alexia Foundation
