In January 2015, NASA released the largest image ever of the Andromeda galaxy, taken by the Hubble telescope. Totaling 1.5 billion pixels and requiring 4.3 gigabytes of disk space, this photo provides a detailed glimpse at the sheer scale of our nearest galactic neighbor. By zooming into the incredible shot, filmmaker Dave Achtemichuk creates an unforgettable interactive experience.

International Day of Forests 2015 / @FAOnews
Climate change is subjecting our planet to unsustainable pressures. Forests and trees trap and store carbon as they grow – standing at the frontline against climate change. Join us in celebrating the International Day of Forests on 21 March.

Seen from the sky / @wildatlanticway
When land meets sea and nature and beauty collide, the result is a varied and majestic coastline, unique to the West of Ireland. Witness the Wild Atlantic Way’s sweeping sandy beaches, sheer cliffs, ancient forts and rocky outcrops from a bird’s eye view in this video, captured by Raymond Fogarty.

Fisheries Management: It's Better with Predators | @Pewtrusts
Predators are an important factor that is often not considered explicitly in fisheries management. But several methods are available today to incorporate predators, a practical step toward ecosystem-based management.
@WWF and @Nokia - Ten years of partnership
WWF and Nokia have had a global partnership in place since 2003. The cooperation initially started with raising environmental awareness of Nokia employees and has evolved over the years to diverse areas including jointly developed projects for using mobile technology in conservation work, as well as publishing WWF branded mobile content to raise environmental awareness to the consumer.
Nokia and WWF have worked together for almost 10 years now and the parties agreed to continue the cooperation again in 2012. By working together Nokia and WWF aim to further strengthen Nokia's environmental performance and find ways to raise environmental awareness by using mobile phones. Nokia will also continue to support WWF's conservation work.
Tracing our Timber / @FAOForestry
This short film provides valuable insight for the European timber industry into how FLEGT licenses will assist them in complying with the new European Union Timber Regulation. The first FLEGT licenses should be issued within the coming year, and are expected to deliver significant quantities of verified legal timber across a wide range of products. With the robust legality assurance system guaranteed by FLEGT, these licenses could save importers time and money.
The Clean Water Act Protects More Than Water / @NRDC
Clean and plentiful water provides the foundation for prosperous communities. We rely on clean water to survive, yet right now we are heading towards a water crisis. Tell President Obama to strengthen - not weaken - the Clean Water Act.
Rise / @Connect4Climate iChange competition
Climate Change may raise sea levels significantly, affecting major coastal cities such as London, Shanghai, Rio, Melbourne, Lagos, and New York City. This video prompts us to reassess the moral responsibility we have to our planet. Either the seas can rise, or we can. This video consists of original footage shot on location in Los Angeles, California. The team is: Maazin Kamal (Pakistan); Vadim Aynbinder (Lithuania); Jonathan Converse (USA) and Konstantine Aivaliotis (Canada).

ESA Euronews: When weather becomes climate / @esa
We constantly track our weather as it fluctuates day-to-day, but determining patterns over time can help us differentiate exactly when 'weather' becomes 'climate'.
Climate change may be visibly changing our world, but it cannot be charged with every meteorological peculiarity given the inherent chaos of the atmosphere. The only way to make sense of these changes is by looking for trends, and these days we have a perfect vantage point from space.
The world of weather watching is ruled by an armada of satellites, and Eumetsat in Germany owns and runs Europe's fleet of high-precision machines.
These hugely powerful devices are capable of mapping both high resolution temperature and humidity measurements, and different images of Earth in near real-time.
Thanks to these technological behemoths, we now know more about our weather than ever before; but understanding climate is a different matter.
