1000 forskare varnar för regeringens vetenskapsförakt

"Regeringen har därmed ignorerat Naturvårdsverkets vetenskapliga analys. [...] Ännu ett exempel på hur politiker prioriterar specifika särintressen, i stället för att lyssna på etablerad expertis och forskning."

The back of the camera shot = when you know it was a good day in the field.

💔 so much loss. Thank you for sharing this. I am trying to gather some of these stories. I will be in touch again soon!

Yes Christer! Your work is so inspiring and so interesting the connection to touristwater! Hoping we get a chance to meet in person in the future!

This is Nämforsen, one of Sweden’s most storied river rapids turned hydropower dam. My rephotographic montage (2022) shows the site both dewatered and during the court-ordered practice of releasing “tourist-water”. Part of my project #revisionandtheriver where I try to storytell a place in change.

Great resource I wish I had ten years ago😅Also a lesson from a kickstarter campaign is that it is seen as taxable income some places, like Sweden, so count that in when considering a campaign!
