Jordan Thomas - Ecuador
Jordan Thomas spent the summer of 2013 living in Ecuador working on a sustainable forestry project with the Kichwa people. The project aimed to identify valuable timber species that could be grown on Kichwa land to provide income alternatives to illegal logging and improve ecological conditions. Thomas surveyed community members, researched tree species, and mapped existing land plots to determine which tree species and locations would be best suited for the reforestation efforts. Some key lessons learned included realizing different views on development between generations, understanding contexts around activities like illegal hunting, and the importance of grassroots initiatives over short-term outside interventions.

Agnes Leina: Indigenous women, IFAD forum for indigenous peoples (2013)IFAD International Fund for Agricultural Development
The document discusses the impacts of climate change and loss of land on Maasai women in Kenya. It notes that Maasai women experience food insecurity due to lack of land and livestock ownership in their patriarchal society. Climate change has exacerbated this through more frequent droughts that force women to walk long distances to find water and grazing land. While women are most severely affected, they are not involved in decision-making around policies to mitigate these issues. There is a need to empower Maasai women and include them in discussions to address the challenges they face from climate change and loss of traditional lands and livelihoods.Anima Pushpatoppo: Indigenous Women, First global meeting of the Indigenous P...

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Natalie Williams - Ecuador
- 1. 2013 BN Duke International Summer of Service: Quito, Ecuador Natalie Williams, Class of 2015 Fundación Tierra Nueva La Clínica de la Mujer My second internship was at a women’s health clinic in central Quito, where I spent time assisting gynecologists, obstetricians, neonatologists, anesthesiologists, and surgeons. On a daily basis I would help out in the neonatology ward (normally feeding and cleaning the babies), take electrocardiographs and ultrasounds of expecting mothers, and measure babies’ heart rates. I also shadowed several surgeons and was able to witness Caesarean sections, normal births, hysterectomies, myomectomies, and breast tumor surgeries. Quito, Ecuador Ecuador Facts: • Capital City: Quito • Government: Republic • Religion: 80.44% Roman Catholic, 11.30% Protestants, 7.94% atheists, 6.97% other, 1.29% Jehovah’s Witnesses • Languages: Spanish, Quichua, Shuar • Health: • Childhood Mortality (per 1000 live births): 24 • Child malnutrition rate: 25% People & Lessons Exploring the Beauty of Ecuador On the weekends I took advantage of living in the prettiest country I have ever visited and did a lot roaming around Ecuador. The first weekend I visited Quilatoa, the most Western volcano in the Ecuadorian Andes. The same weekend I visited several indigenous villages about 2-3 hours outside of Quito. Another weekend I took a night bus to the Ecuadorian coast for a day, and another weekend I visited a town called Misahuallí where wild monkeys were running around everywhere. The other weekends I explored Quito and spent time getting to know my host family. In between all of the exploring, I managed to take a salsa and a cooking class, too! Special Acknowledgements Thank you to the following individuals and organizations for all their support : • BN Duke Scholarship Program • Jenny Wood Crowley • Charlie Thompson • Sarah Stacke • Pablo Proano • The Marcillo Family • Bethzaida Fernandez • Michaella Thomas Fundación Tierra Nueva (“New Land Foundation”) is a large nonprofit organization founded by the late Father José Carollo, an Italian priest. Tierra Nueva began as a social services center for Quito’s poorest citizens—many of whom are concentrated in the southern half of Ecuador’s capital city. At present, Tierra Nueva is comprised of an outpatient medical institute with 26 specialties, a fully functioning medical hospital with 148 beds, a mobile medical unit, a school for developmentally disabled youth, two daycare centers, a legal services center, a microcredit institution, and social work department. During my time at Tierra Nueva, I mostly worked in physical therapy. My tasks included electrotherapy, ultrasound, laser, and magnetic therapy. I also assisted in x-rays and daily exercise routines with the patients. During my time in Ecuador, I stayed with a host family in Quito. The Marcillo family consisted of a father, mother, and a fifteen-year-old daughter, and I honestly don’t think I could’ve been luckier with my placement. Even though my flight got delayed when arriving and I showed up knocking on their door at 4 a.m., they welcomed me into their home and made me feel like a member of the family. The Marcillos took me on daytrips around Quito and other cities, taught me about Ecuadorian food and culture, and were always so patient and helpful with my Spanish. However, these weren’t the only amazing people I met during my time in Ecuador. I became really close with everyone I worked with at Tierra Nueva, especially two of the patients. One patient even invited me to her house for lunch every week. I could write a book on all of the amazing people I met in Ecuador, and all of the lessons they taught me. Some of the biggest lessons I learned were not to be hesitant of forming relationships with those around me, not just trying to get to know a community, but letting them get to know me, and to be “tranquíla”—aka relax and don’t worry!
