Professor Bill Montevecchi was a giant of a scientist. Newfoundland and Labrador owes him a huge debt as a conservation champion in a place that now needs them more than ever.
Brett Favaro@brettfavaro.bsky.social · 3w agowww.cbc.ca/news/canada/... This loss hurts. Prof. Montevecchi was a mentor to so many, and a singular force for conservation in Newfoundland and Labrador. I don't think it's a stretch to say: There are a lot of sea birds that wouldn't exist today but for his work.
This is a part of an amazing project called Mapping of Trešnjevka - a large district of Croatia's capital Zagreb. There are some part of the website that are in English. This is 13 years of neighbourhood mapping initiatives. Amazing! #urban #urbanism #city #neighbourhood.
