Local farmer Hu Shan pulls up a dead yang chai bush near Shenhua's Number 8 water well
We’ve had a fantastic, hot summer this year, cooling down with a drink of water whenever needed.
So when I look at Bo Qiu’s photo feature of
water shortages in Inner Mongolia it is a strong reminder that easy access to
clean water is not a given for everyone.

I am fascinated by
chimpanzees, these most human-like mammals that nurse their babies until they are
three years old, use simple tools like twigs to poke into ant nests and noisily
communicate with the rest of their troop.
It’s Shark Week! This collection of photos from our archive supports
Discovery Channel’s celebration of these amazing species and the television
programme’s aim to raise awareness and respect for sharks.

There are a lot of tired but very happy (not
to mention sun-kissed) people around the office today. Those who manned the
Greenpeace field at Glastonbury
are reappearing and they have such tales to tell. (I would have asked one of them to write this update, but they're all worn out.)

May's round up of images from around the Greenpeace world come from as far afield as Australia, where activists shut down a giant digger at the most polluting power station in the developed world; India, where we've been installing solar panels in schools; and Thailand, where volunteers canoed 350km to document the toxic damage being done to the Chao Praya, the country's most iconic river.
Stunning images of climate change protests from North and South America, Europe and Asia make up the core of this month's contributions. It's been a busy time for reminding governments what they should already know by now - that we have to wean ourselves of climate-wrecking fossil fuels as soon as possible, and the business as usual is not an option.

Greenpeace China projects a climate change message onto Yong Ding Gate: Beijing, March 23 2009
The latest monthly slideshow of Greenpeace activities around the world has just been published, and it's been a busy time. Lots of action around climate change, as you'd expect, with big events in the US and Brazil, and a symbolic projection onto the Yong Ding gate in Beijing, China.
Photographs illustrating the environmental problems we're facing provide one of the most powerful tools we have for our campaign work. Whether it's an image of the beauty that still remains or one of the havoc we humans so often create, sometimes one photo really can explain it all.
