  • Photo by Ami Vitale @amivitale | Rahima Begum holds her one-day-old baby inside a slum in Dhaka, Bangladesh. She had been displaced because of rising waters and a changing climate and forced to migrate to Dhaka. Bangladesh is among the most densely populated countries in the world; 28,000 people live in each square kilometer in the capital of Dhaka. The slum has no permanent sanitation or sewage facilities. As sea levels and temperatures rise, bringing greater and more destructive storms and droughts, there is increasing awareness of climate refugees, whose numbers could far surpass refugees driven by conflict. Currently there are no legal protections for those displaced by climate, and the penalty for inaction on climate change grows more severe every year. It will be felt most by those who least contribute to global warming.

  • Photos by Tim Laman @timlaman | Birds of paradise have a reason to celebrate this year on Earth Day: the Province of West Papua, where 16 of the 40 birds of paradise are found, has declared its commitment to set aside 70% of the land as protected forest! Swipe to see four of the species found only in West Papua, Indonesia: Vogelkop superb, red, Wilson’s, and western parotia. See more @TimLaman as we celebrate this Earth Day! Birds of paradise are the global ambassadors for conservation of the forests of Papua. #conservationprovince #TanahPapua #papua #Indonesia #birdofparadise @BirdsofParadiseProject
  • Photo by @BrianSkerry // Sponsored by @makersmark // A leatherback turtle hatchling crawls toward the sea at sunset, after digging out of its nest at the Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. I spent weeks here, photographing female leatherbacks emerging from the night ocean, and I vividly recall the primordial sound of their breathing as they labored to dig their nests. Hatchlings appear about 60 days later. This species’ lineage is older than dinosaurs, dating back 100 million years. They once crawled from the sea and saw T. rex. Today, in some locations, they see condominiums. // This Earth Day, @makersmark is on a mission to remove 75,000 pounds of trash from the world’s oceans and waterways.

  • Photo by @ronan_donovan // Sponsored by @makersmark // Strong winds carry fresh snow over the top of a giant tabular iceberg off the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula. Antarctica is the windiest, driest, and coldest continent on this planet. What’s fascinating is that the White Continent is also surrounded by some of the most productive waters on Earth. These waters provide nutrients to the rest of the Earth’s oceans. Every continent is connected to the others through the global ecosystem we are all part of. Yet we are changing Antarctica at an unprecedented rate as a result of our carbon emissions. Let’s celebrate the Earth today for all the bounty it has provided and remember that we all need to protect it. // This Earth Day, @makersmark is on a mission to remove 75,000 pounds of trash from the world’s oceans and waterways.

  • Photo by @cristinamittermeier // Sponsored by @makersmark // Like a veil of molten gold, the early evening light bathes a lone humpback whale as it feeds in the krill-rich waters off the Antarctic Peninsula. During an assignment for National Geographic, we saw hundreds, if not thousands, of humpback whales. These beautiful cetaceans have made an amazing comeback after having been hunted to the very verge of extinction during the whaling era. No matter how many times I see them, I am always thrilled to know they are still out there. // This Earth Day, @makersmark is on a mission to remove 75,000 pounds of trash from the world’s oceans and waterways.

  • Photo by Brian Skerry @brianskerry | Happy Earth Day! A spinner dolphin leaps from the sea as a passing morning squall leaves behind a rainbow in the sky off Oahu, Hawaii. Spinners are some of the most social of dolphin species, rarely seen alone and typically found in larger pods. They forage at night offshore in deep water, then come into shallow bays in the morning to socialize and rest. The Hawaiian spinners have a beautiful tricolor.

  • Photo by Lucas Foglia @lucasfogliaphoto | New wind turbines generate electricity next to an abandoned farmhouse in Silverton, Texas. Wind farms have been installed on agricultural land across the Texas Panhandle, providing supplemental income to landowners. For some of them, the turbines provide more consistent income than crop farming.
  • Photo by Babak Tafreshi @babaktafreshi | #EarthDay | As a teenager, I discovered my lifelong passion for the night sky. There is more than beauty in a starry night: All species, all symbols of human cultures, sit under this eternal unifying roof. Under this borderless sky, we are one family living on a small planet amid the vast ocean of the universe. For 99.9% of its 4.5 billion years of history, Earth has never been an amalgam of human-delineated territories.
