We're deeply saddened by the tragic news that confirmed that #JulianSands died at Mount Baldy, in California. He was a dear friend and long collaborator of the Keats-Shelley Memorial Association.
Julian, thank you so much for all you did for us. You will be dearly missed.
In the early 1990s, Brazilian photojournalist Sebastião Ribeiro Salgado was stationed in Rwanda to cover the genocide. The experience left him traumatized.
In 1994, when he returned to his home in Minas Gerais, Brazil, Sebastião was hoping to find solace in the lush green forest of his childhood. Instead, he discovered that his home had turned into a dusty, barren land for miles and miles, devoid of any wildlife.
"The land was as sick as I was. Only about 0.5% of the land was covered in trees," he said.
It was at this time that his wife, Lélia Deluiz Wanick Salgado, proposed that they replant the entire forest. Sebastião supported the idea, and the two of them spent the next 20 years planting 2.7 million trees.
This resulted in the recovery of 1,500 acres of rainforest, and the site eventually became home to 293 plant species, 172 bird species, and 33 animal species, some of which were on the verge of extinction.

Crockett: My Republican colleagues want to talk about keeping DC streets crime free. They can’t even keep the halls of Congress crime free.. My freshman colleague has just been indicted on 13 counts…
@SarahLarchmont You are perfection. Btw, if you have kids and they hear you saying this to yourself, they'll grow up to do the same. I learned the hard way. You are fit and gorgeous. This picture is proof of that.
Using two telescopes and over 280,000 individual photos, I captured my most detailed image of our moon. The full size is over a gigapixel. Trust me, you’ll want to zoom in on this one.
To CNN:
He isn't the party nominee.
He isn't even the presumptive nominee.
He is an unsuccessful defendant in suit for defamation and assault.
He is under indictment.
He has been impeached twice.
Explain to me why he is worth what you are handing over to him.
Why now?
@CNN
.@GregAbbott_TX nobody is illegal in heaven “dear” governor! Nobody! And in life at the most are just undocumented! You speak with hate about immigrants, and that rhetoric is what may have created this situation in the first place. Show some empathy…that’s what good leaders do
@iamcardib Granted I would have turned around and said something, especially if I were one of the people sitting next to them. I respect this young woman's composure. All three young women definitely showed their character, one classy and the other two trash.
Better yet, look at the video of the arrest. The officers told the ladies they were trespassing on PUBLIC PROPERTY.
Then one officer lied to his supervisor saying the women (ages 85 & 60) nearly beat the officers’ ass*s”. You clearly see on video that never happened. The officer told his supervisor:
“ I’m glad nobody was recording. Because a bunch of police officers beating up on a couple of old ladies it was rough.”
What happened to this young man is the reason every black mother fears for their child! What the fuck are at doing if we can’t protect out kids from these racist mfs!!
