Les clés de la porte à triple serrure qui protégeait la salle des #archives à l'hôtel de ville de #Lyon entre 1646 et les années 1860. En guise de porte-clefs, une chaîne avec un #blason où il est écrit : "UNE DES CLEFZ DE LA CHAMBRE A VOULT OU SO[n]T LES PAPIERS ET TILTRES DE LA VILLE".
La porte a suivi les déménagements successifs des #ArchivesDeLyon jusqu'au bâtiment actuel, où elle trône dans le hall.
The number of individual birds found at the Yasuní Biosphere Reserve has dropped by half, according to a study published earlier this year.
Other studies have shown a similar trend in preserved rainforests, pointing to habitat deterioration and pesticides as the usual causes of widespread bird decline in the Northern Hemisphere, but this does not explain the phenomenon in tropical sites.
Farmers in Nigeria — and other regions, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa — are suffering huge losses due to extreme weather shifts in quick succession, a phenomenon that researchers refer to as “weather whiplash.”
Research shows a connection between poverty and weather whiplash, and farmers in poorer regions are five times more exposed to drought-downpour cycles than people in wealthier regions.
Two Indigenous villages in Indonesian Borneo have received initial funding of nearly $15,000 from the New Zealand government to improve their livelihoods while protecting their ancestral forests.
Residents of the Dayak villages of Setawar and Gunam mostly grow oil palms, but also still rely on their ancestral forests for making medicinal herbs, producing handicrafts and carrying out traditional rituals.
The town of Catacocha, located in the south of Ecuador, is in a province known for being almost a desert: dry forest, barren soil and rains that only appear two months in the year.
A historian discovered the water collection system long ago used by Palta Indigenous people and persuaded locals in Catacocha to apply it.
The Aves y Cafe program in Venezuela aids rural communities by encouraging community-centered shade coffee agroforestry, while protecting rare and migrating birds.
The project has so far succeeded in protecting 415 hectares (1,025 acres) of montane forest, ensuring the survival of threatened endemic and migratory bird species.

Climate change has become a pressing public health crisis around the world, as disease patterns worsen and emerge in regions where they did not exist before.
Health experts are particularly concerned about the role of climate change in the rise of vector-borne diseases in Africa’s low- and middle-income countries.
