Aztec ants on Cecropia - Barro Colorado Panama ; The Aztec ants live in association with a fast growing tree, the Cecropia. The hollow trunk of Cecropia allows ants to install and it secret at the base of its leaves nectar that feeds them. In return, the ants protect the tree aztec against climbing plants seeking support and herbivores. A fine example of cooperation.

Pygmy hunter of the Baka ethnic group making a trap to capture small mammals such as pangolins, porcupines. Small indigenous communities that cling to their past and continue living in the equatorial jungle of southeastern Cameroon (they are also found in the Congo, Central African Republic and Gabon). Most of their subsistence lies in hunting, fishing and gathering. Despite being semi-nomadic, the community where the images were taken, made up of 5 families (about 40 people), is settled in the Dja Reserve: commune of Somalomo, Biosphere Reserve since 1982 and World Heritage Site since 1987.

Installation of a new electrical cable on an overhead cable tray. Electrical cables outdoors are subject to significant temperature variations and ultra-violet rays, accelerating their ageing and requiring replacement after several years.

Two technicians install and inflate a cylindrical balloon 5 meters in diameter and 35 meters long. The balloon serves as a mold for the snow to be deposited on top. Once deflated, the result is a cellar spacious enough to store vehicles and other equipment. The beige and orange structure at the far end is the fire escape. Concordia Antarctic Research Station, Dome C plateau, East Antarctica.

A technician talks on the radio, crouched in front of a console of electronic equipment and a large radio dish/antenna. The technician is in radio contact with his partner inside the station, who is testing the VSAT antenna that provides the station's Internet access. The electronic equipment is housed in a custom-made, temperature-controlled wooden cabinet, to keep the electronics at a temperature above 0°C at all times, to prevent any damage. Concordia Antarctic Research Station, Dome C plateau, East Antarctica.

3 technicians in front of the first photovoltaic panel on Concordia's solar farm. Electricity consumption rises sharply during the summer months, when the resort's activity peaks. It's also when the sun shines brightest. Tests are carried out to verify the long-term resistance of the panels to cold, and the behavior of the inverters, cables and electrical network. Concordia Antarctic Research Station, Dome C plateau, East Antarctica.
