  • Deforestation of pine wood trees on a hillside at Gibbon, in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Fires on occasion rage through the forest leaving behind burnt and fallen trees which are left to decompose naturally, and to regrow over time. This is how the park is run, leaving nature to take it's natural cause, not intervening with nature.

  • Slash and burn landscape, Phongsaly province, Lao PDR.  Swidden cultivation or ‘hai’ in Lao consists of cutting the natural vegetation, leaving it to dry and then burning it for temporary cropping of the land, the ash acting as a natural fertiliser. Shifting cultivation practices, although remarkably sustainable and adapted to their environment in the past, have come under increasing stress in recent decades and are now starting to be a major problem in Lao PDR, causing widespread deforestation and watershed degradation.

  • After drying on the upland field for several days, an Akha Cherpia family thresh the rice sheaves to remove the grain which will then be put into sacks and carried back to the village. Swidden cultivation or ‘hai’ in Lao consists of cutting the natural vegetation, leaving it to dry and then burning it for temporary cropping of the land, the ash acting as a natural fertiliser. Shifting cultivation practices, although remarkably sustainable and adapted to their environment in the past, have come under increasing stress in recent decades and are now starting to be a major problem in Lao PDR, causing widespread deforestation and watershed degradation.

  • A Khmu woman stands in her upland rice field which is almost ready for harvesting, Ban Chaleunsouk, Luang Namtha Province, Lao PDR. Slash and burn cultivation or ‘hai’ in Lao consists of cutting the natural vegetation, leaving it to dry and then burning it for temporary cropping of the land, the ash acting as a natural fertiliser. Shifting cultivation practices, although remarkably sustainable and adapted to their environment in the past, have come under increasing stress in recent decades and are now starting to be a major problem in Lao PDR, causing widespread deforestation and watershed degradation.

  • Clearing of the land for planting cash crops, Phongsaly province, Lao PDR.  Swidden cultivation or ‘hai’ in Lao consists of cutting the natural vegetation, leaving it to dry and then burning it for temporary cropping of the land, the ash acting as a natural fertiliser. Shifting cultivation practices, although remarkably sustainable and adapted to their environment in the past, have come under increasing stress in recent decades and are now starting to be a major problem in Lao PDR, causing widespread deforestation and watershed degradation. In this area the practise is gradually being taken over by the planting of permanent cash crops such as coffee and tea.

  • An anti-HS2 activist releases himself from a tripod used to block one of several entrances to the Chiltern Tunnel South Portal site for the HS2 high-speed rail link for the entire day on 9 October 2020 in West Hyde, United Kingdom. The protest action, at the site from which HS2 Ltd intends to drill a 10-mile tunnel through the Chilterns, was intended to remind Prime Minister Boris Johnson that he committed to remove deforestation from supply chains and to provide legal protection for 30% of UK land for biodiversity by 2030 at the first UN Summit on Biodiversity on 30th September.

  • Fallow fields, slash and burn landscape, Luang Prabang province, Lao PDR. Slash and burn cultivation or ‘hai’ in Lao PDR consists of cutting the natural vegetation, leaving it to dry and then burning it for temporary cropping of the land, the ash acting as a natural fertiliser. To rebuild the soil fertility after growing crops on a shifting cultivation plot, farmers ‘abandon’ that plot and allow vegetation to regrow for a number of years.  This is called the ‘fallow period’.  In the meantime, they grow crops on other new plots. Shifting cultivation practices, although remarkably sustainable and adapted to their environment in the past, have come under increasing stress in recent decades and are now starting to be a major problem in Lao PDR, causing widespread deforestation and watershed degradation.
