Photo taken at Everglades National Park

A little blue heron I met while canoeing in the Everglades. This bird is still quite common in here but, as many other species, is becoming less and less present in the wild. It wasn’t easy to take this picture with the canoe still drifting in the canal and under a burning sun

Photo taken at Everglades, Florida

The Everglades are a subtropical wetland ecosystem spanning two million acres across central and south Florida. During the wet season, Lake Okeechobee overflows, releasing water into a very slow moving, shallow river dominated by sawgrass marsh. The water flows southward, passing through diverse habitats, including cypress swamps, wet prairie, and mangroves, until it reaches Everglades National Park and eventually the Florida Bay where it metes the ocean

Getting into the water with a canoe is probably the best way to explore the Everglades and enjoy the sound of wildlife. During my 4h ride I met tree alligators, a manatee and a little blue heron

Photo taken at Tucson, Arizona

Before moving to Florida I wanted to thank Bryon from @skyislandalliance for helping me explore and understand better the importance of the Sky Islands. A unique, precious ecosystem, the value of which is ignored by most of local people. I wish only but good luck to SIA in protecting this place and letting the world know about it

Photo taken at Mt Lemon

Driving down on Mt Lemmon highway. I was really surprised to find such a beautiful and diverse landscape right next to Tucson. I now regret to not have spent more time here

Photo taken at Chiricahua, Arizona

In the Chiricahua mountains trails are frequently blocked by fire-killed trees that are still falling. Due to dense brush growth, steep elevations, precipitous canyon walls, an undependable water supply, it can be really hard to hike on these trails. I walked for 6km with the @skyislandalliance team only to find out that the water source we were looking for had moved because of erosion and wasn’t accessible

On the weekend I joined the team and volunteers of the Sky Island Alliance (@skyislandalliance), an NGO that strives to protect and restore the unique biodiversity of these mountain ranges. We visited the Chiricahua mountains to assess springs and other water resources in the area

Sky islands are isolated mountains in South Arizona and New Mexico surrounded by radically different lowland environments. The significant physical distance that separates each mountain range creates habitat islands with unique biodiversity. #skyislands #ephemera #arizona #aerial #travel #documentary

On my way from Alaska to Florida I decided to make a quick stop in South Arizona to visit the unique environment of the socalled Sky Islands. #skyislands #ephemera #arizona #aerial #travel #documentary
