La evolución del cambio climático ahora se puede seguir en las redes sociales. Esto, ya que distintos fotógrafos están subiendo sus fotos en la cuenta 'Every day climate change' (Cambio climático todos los días) donde los mismos usuarios pueden contribuir.

"Espero que podamos traer gente nueva que normalmente no estaría pensando en esto a esta labor. Somos capaces de mostrar que el cambio climático está ocurriendo en los EE.UU., Europa y Japón, así como en el Ártico y la selva tropical. Nadie es inmune", dijo James Whitlow Delano, fotógrafo que comenzó cuenta, según da cuenta Climate Central.

Cuentas de fines similares han surgido en esta misma red social. Entre ellas Everyday Africa, iniciada en 2012, para mostrar que este continente es más que caricaturas retratadas en la literatura occidental.

"Estamos pensando en el hashtag #everydayclimatechange. Vamos a buscar eso y ver lo que trae. Es una gran manera de reunir a una comunidad y descubrir nuevos talentos", agregó Delano.

Dareta and other communities in Zamafara state, previously sustained by farming and agriculture, have begun to pursue gold mining as an alternative means of livelihood – albeit a dangerous one. Mining has led to a large amount of health problems in workers and their families due to contamination of the environment by substances such as, lead, mercury, and cyanide. Lead poisoning linked to informal mining has killed over 400 children under five years old since March 2010, according to the United Nations.

Photo by @edkashi/@viiphoto: Tavy, or burning of the forest to clear for planting, is illegal but local farmers in #Madagascar continue to do this despite the massive reductions of their forests. It is estimated that each year more than 1.5 billion tons of carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere from #deforestation, mainly the cutting and burning of forests, resulting in a loss of over 30 million acres of forest. #climatechange @viiphoto
