Ship’s registry: Bahamas 1 EXPEDITION HERITAGE, NEW ADVENTURES AHEAD Regarded as the father of ecotourism, Lars-Eric Lindblad was literally the first travel company owner to take “citizen explorers” to many destinations where only scientists had gone before, including Antarctica, Galápagos, Indonesia, Easter Island and the South Pacific. By believing that educated people who saw things with their own eyes would be a potent force for conservation and restoration, he made his notions a powerful force for good worldwide. From top: Lindblad Since 1979 his son, Sven-Olof Lindblad, has Explorer in Papua New expanded his legacy by providing transformative Guinea in 1970; Lars-Eric Lindblad; Valerie Taylor travel experiences in the world’s most remarkable with Jeremy and Justin places. Now with the acquisition of Orion, the third Lindblad in Indonesia Lindblad generation steps on deck, so to speak, circa 1983; Sven Lindblad; Jeremy, age 10. as Jeremy Lindblad (shown at right with his father, Sven) assumes a directorship in the Lindblad office in Sydney, Australia. Together with alliance partner National Geographic, Lindblad Expeditions is now able to provide curious, intelligent travelers with inspiring adventures worldwide.

TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR NEWEST SHIP, VISIT EXPEDITIONS.COM/NGORION 3 THE PERFECT PLATFORM FOR EXPLORIng ‘DOWN UNDER’ National Geographic Orion is a purpose-built expedition ship, designed for exploring Antarctica as well as the temperate and tropical zones of the South Pacific. She has been fully equipped with a roster of expedition tools to enable up-close and personal exploration; and an undersea program (see page 8) to provide unmatched opportunities in the planet’s most pristine marine habitats. She travels with a complete expedition team (see page 10) plus, a National Geographic photographer on all departures, and relevant guest speakers to enhance your experience of superb geographies (see pages 12-13). 4 NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC ORION’S EXploration TOOLS Orion’s expedition technology enables you to land where dock and tender infrastructure doesn’t exist, and to have up-close, personal encounters with beauty, wildness and the seldom-seen.

National Geographic Orion is a nimble ship, designed to get into some of the South Pacific’s most remote and inaccessible places. And she’s equipped with tools to get you out there for up-close forays, or to let you see deeper into the marine or terrestrial environments surrounding you. 7 DISCOVER THE UnDERSEA Of the eight areas identified by National Geographic’s Pristine Seas program as the last wild places in the world’s oceans, we visit two of the key Southern Pacific areas on our Reef, Lagoons and Volcanic Isles (pg. 52), and Legends of The South Pacific (pg. 55) itineraries. And National Geographic Orion offers an unparalleled access to these remarkable, seldom-seen ocean wonders. Inspired by Jacques Cousteau, Bob Ballard, Valerie Taylor and other National Geographic explorers, Orion travels with an undersea specialist/diver, undersea video technology and a new, state-of-the-art ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) capable of exploring depths of up to 1,000 feet. Orion provides a peerless immersive 360º optic on Earth’s most fascinating realm. And she enables enriching personal explora- tion—with divemasters, scuba gear for up to 24 guests, and a full complement of snorkeling gear for all. 8 Left: A guest dives on a WWII wreck in the Solomon Islands. Above: The brilliantly colored undersea as shot by Valerie Taylor, pictured top right. Legend, shark chronicler, pioneering undersea photographer and film- maker, and National Geographic magazine cover subject, Valerie Taylor is a key member of our Australian Advisory Board. My husband Ron and I have had a life of travel and adventure. In 1973 my photo was on the cover of National Geographic, and it caught the attention of Lars-Eric Lindblad, the owner of the famous red and white ship, Lindblad Explorer. He invited Ron and me to join his ship as staff. Now 40 years later Lars-Eric’s son, Sven-Olof, has invited me to sit on the Advisory Board he is forming to help create meaningful expeditions in the Southern Hemisphere—waters I know well. Of course I agreed! I look forward to fabulous voyages aboard National Geographic Orion, often to places rarely visited—am very excited in fact. I will make new friends and, I hope, meet old ones. Adventure is the cream on the cake and it has been given to me on a platter. How lucky am I to be sharing this remarkable adventure. —Valerie Taylor JOIN VALERIE ON NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC ORION’S INAUGURAL VOYAGES; SEE PG. 27. WWW.EXPEDITIONS.COM 9 TRAVEL WITH An A+ EXPEDITION TEAM The comment cards we receive from guests after every voyage consistently express the same sentiments: “Outstanding expedition staff.” Our expedition leaders, known as ELs to staff and guests alike, are exceptional leaders who attract and inspire the naturalists, marine biologists, geologists, historians, archeologists, undersea specialists and divemasters who accompany Orion’s voyages. Collectively, these specialists have hundreds of years of experience guiding travelers to the world’s most interesting places. They are the informative experts with whom explorers want to travel repeatedly; and the engaging conversationalists with who curious travelers want to share drinks or dinner. Clockwise from top left: Some expedition team members aboard National Geographic Orion include naturalists Darrin Bennett, Richard White and Tom Ritchie; Lindblad-National Geographic certified photo instructors Mike Nolan & CT Ticknor; Rikki & Jack Swenson; and expedition leader Tim Soper.

    CONSERVATION MATTERS THE JOURNAL OF CONSERVATION LAW FOUNDATION | www.clf.org NAVIGATING A NEW NORMAL 2020 2021 YEAR IN REVIEW LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT THE LAST YEAR HAS SHOWN US JUST HOW PRECARIOUS OUR NORMS ARE. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted, derailed, and disoriented our lives. But it also unearthed racial injustices and systemic failures that have been hiding in plain sight for far too long. Watching as we all shifted our priorities and re-imagined how we manage our lives both personally and professionally, I have been amazed at the ability of CLF’s talented staff and volunteers to pivot, refocus, and reinvent how we move our work forward. And, we have been buoyed by the continued passion and dedication of our donors in continuing to show up, speak up, and step up to ensure that we had the resources to keep going through such uncertainty. Now, as vaccination rates continue to rise, we appear poised to go back to life as usual. But should we merely pick up where so many of us left off almost Business as 18 months ago? I would argue that no, we should not – especially if “usual” means once again Unusual. burying the reality of the injustices that have plagued our country for centu- ries and still overburden communities of color today. Now is not the time to be complacent. Our responsibility – our obligation – is to create a new normal for and, most importantly, with the people we serve. We can overcome the challenges threatening our communities, from rooting out injustice, to exposing broken systems that leave so many of us vulnerable to harm, to ensur- ing a just transition to an equitable clean energy economy that lifts all New Englanders.

  • The Impacts of Climate Change on Public Health in Indonesia: Action Is Necessary, Feasible and Desirable
    Jurnal MKMI , Vol 6 No.4, Oktober 2010, hal 249-252 Tinjauan Pustaka II THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON PUBLIC HEALTH IN INDONESIA: ACTION IS NECESSARY, FEASIBLE AND DESIRABLE Syamsuar Manyullei Dosen Bagian Kesehatan Lingkungan FKM Unhas Makassar ABSTRACT The global climate has always fluctuated. Millions of years ago, some parts of the world that are now quite warm were covered with ice, and over more recent centuries, average tem- peratures have risen and fallen in cycles, as a result of fluctuations of solar radiation, or the periodic eruption of volcanoes.Societies around the world are becoming increasingly focused on the looming effects of climate change. Climate change threatens to undermine Indonesia’s efforts to combat poverty. Its impact is intensifying the risks and vulnerabilities facing poor people, placing further stress on already overstretched coping mechanisms. In effect, climate change is holding back the efforts of poor people to build a better life for themselves and their families. The aim of this essay gives consideration to the impact of climate change on popu- lation health in Indonesia. This essay critically analyses the impacts of climate change on popu- lation health in Indonesia and considers how to reduce the potential human impacts of climate change. Key Words : Impacts, Climate Change And Public Health THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON duces toxic waste products 4,5 .

  • UST-SEPTE MBER 1984 Editor's Note: One Hundred and Fifty Years Is a Pretty Good While to Be Around
    UST-SEPTE MBER 1984 Editor's Note: One hundred and fifty years is a pretty good while to be around. So it's with some modest sense of pride that we include the Institute's 150th Annual Report in this issue. As the Director's message in the report indicates, the Institute's ability to survive and thrive over the years has been due in great measure to its capability to respond to the changing needs of seafarers; and to anticipate and adapt to change, itself. Even at this writing, plans are underway to relocate the Manhattan headquarters to another facility in Lower Manhattan. One that will be better suited to the sea­ farers' needs of today and tomorrow. But more about that in the next issue. Other articles in this issue attempt to keep you up-to-date on some of our various programs while also keeping in touch with our historical precedents of service. The poetry selected seemed appropriate to the season. As always, we welcome your comments. Carlyle Windley Editor Volume 76 Number 2 AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 1984 © 1984 Seamen's Church Institute of New York and New Jersey Volunteers Bring Special Touch Locally and across the nation, thousands of volunteers help the 2 Institute carry out its work.

Ocean legend Valerie Taylor separates truth from tall tales. I’M OFTEN REFERRED TO as a scientist. I’m not. I write from 65 years of experience. The oceans have been very good to my husband Ron and me. They’ve given us a life of excitement and adventure. The marine world is my teacher, my workplace, and my love, yet Ron and I have but dabbled in what it offers–unknown depths and their mysterious creatures, covering 72 per cent of our planet’s surface. Ron and I learnt very early that footage of sharks would sell more readily than that of any other marine animal. In the 1950s Movietone News (an international cinema-shown newsreel covering the years 1929–79) bought Ron’s 16 mm footage, blew it up to 35 mm and showed it in theatres around the world. Then came television (in 1956 in Australia) and the public’s lust for any images of sharks had us searching offshore waters for these “dangerous” predators. For us, filming sharks in their natural environment became a way of life. Much of my first-hand knowledge was acquired in the 1980s when using the mesh suit. There’s no easy way to describe sharks. There are hundreds of species, all with different characteristics, but few of them are potentially dangerous to humans. The most threatening species cruising our coastline is the white shark.
