Habitat Antarctica?

Posted on by

The habitat of Antarctica is changing. Large amounts of freshwater flow into the salty ecosystem of the ocean. The penguin faces a significant and drastic change in its food supply. Here is a showcase of the habitat in change. This penguin seems lost. Does the habitat of Antarctica still exist? Climate change is not just an abstract idea but a true driver of considerable loss. We mark this loss now and shortly as a public risk.

Boletus in Forest

Posted on by

I found this Boletus edulis (penny bun, cèpe de Bordeaux, porcino, panza, Steinpilz, Herrenpilz, eekhoorntjesbrood) in the forest near my home. What a beauty. I gave it my personal touch. The colours are expressing the essence of nature. I printed and framed it for my grandchildren’s room.

This mushroom lives in close harmony (symbiosis!) with the roots of trees. It gives nitrogen and other nutrients to the roots and gets fixed carbon in return. With this building material, it can expand its network.

Oak Autumn Leaf

Posted on by

This oak autumn leaf (Quercus robur L.) contains the wisdom of the logistics in the empire of the sun. It is the place in the forest ecosystem where, from photosynthesis, sugars (as essential building materials) are produced and transported downwards to the stem and roots. This autumn leaf highlights in colours the structure and importance of the network.
