2024 Toronto International Film Festival

Cinema aficionados, assemble. The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) gears up to dazzle with its 49th edition in Canada's largest city, seen in today's image. Since it began in 1976, the TIFF has become one of the largest publicly attended film festivals in the world. Attendees range from seasoned directors to rising stars and eager cinephiles and the festival has hosted premieres of many critically acclaimed films, including 'The Fabelmans' and 'Black Swan.'

This year's festival rolls out the red carpet for filmmakers today and runs until September 15, hosted in venues across the city. The opening night will spotlight David Gordon Green's 'Nutcrackers,' starring Ben Stiller. 'Eden,' a survival thriller by director Ron Howard, and 'K-Pops!,' the directorial debut of musician Anderson .Paak, are also part of the vibrant lineup of world premieres. Lights, camera, action!

原始之美，人人共享 Unspoiled beauty for all

《荒野法》周年纪念日

有时候，逃离尘嚣也是一个不错的选择。多亏了环保主义者霍华德·扎尼泽，美国人才可以在该国众多的荒野之一中实现这一愿望。尽管创建国家森林公园等保护工作始于19世纪末，但到1960年代，原始的荒野面积已减少到仅占全国土地面积的2.5%。为了扭转这一趋势，扎尼泽起草了许多保护性条款，它们后来成为《荒野法》的大部分内容。该法案于1964年9月3日由林登·约翰逊总统签署成为法律，如今保护着超1.09亿英亩的土地——占美国土地的5%。

图中所示的水晶湖就位于这样一个保护区内。它坐落于华盛顿州的高山湖泊，这个“魔幻仙境”拥有700多个湖泊和池塘，以及美国西部一些最佳的攀岩地点。这里也是高山山羊、雷鸟、鼠兔以及多种高山花卉的家园。不过，如果您想亲眼目睹高山湖泊的风光，就得做好等待的准备。日间徒步旅行的许可证很少，去年参加过夜许可证抽签的40,000人中，只有2558人获得了许可证。

Wilderness Act anniversary

Sometimes it's nice to get away. Thanks to environmentalist Howard Zahniser, Americans can do that in one of the country's many wildernesses—sheltered from human activities. While the protection of national forests and parks began in the late 1800s, untamed wilderness had dwindled to only 2.5% of US land by the 1960s. To reverse this trend, Zahniser wrote most of what became the Wilderness Act. Signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson on September 3, 1964, today it protects more than 109 million acres—5% of the land in the US.

Pictured in today's image, Crystal Lake, in the Enchantments, Washington, is in one such protected area. Located in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, the Enchantments region has more than 700 lakes and ponds and some of the best rock climbing in the Western US. It's also home to mountain goats, ptarmigan, pikas, and many alpine flowers. If you want to see Alpine Lakes Wilderness yourself, however, be prepared to wait. Few permits are granted for day hikes, and of the 40,000 people who entered last year's lottery for overnight permits, only 2,558 received one.

泰晤士河节，伦敦

欢迎来到英国伦敦的泰晤士河节。每年，它都会将社区、艺术家和自然爱好者聚集在一起，向河流致敬，为期一个月。2024年的重点活动包括一年一度的帆船赛舟会、大河赛和清洁泰晤士河挑战赛。

泰晤士河是全英格兰最长的河流，沿途有80多个岛屿。从格洛斯特郡开始，蜿蜒穿过牛津、温莎等城市，以及今天的伦敦，流经215英里后与北海汇合。这条河有一系列淡水和近海水栖息地，是疣鼻天鹅和宽吻海豚等野生动物的天堂。它的两侧还分布着多个具有特殊科学价值的景点。因此，在这个月，让河流的潮汐指引你去发现和庆祝吧！

River Thames, London

Welcome to the Totally Thames Festival in London, England. Each year it brings together communities, artists, and nature enthusiasts in a month-long tribute to the river. Highlights for 2024 include the annual boat marathon, Great River Race, and the Clean Thames Challenge.

The Thames, the longest river entirely in England, contains more than 80 islands along its course. Starting in Gloucestershire in southwest England, it winds through cities like Oxford, Windsor, and London, pictured above, flowing for 215 miles before merging with the North Sea on the southeast coast. Once heavily polluted, it is now said to be one of the world's cleanest rivers flowing through a major city and is a haven for an array of wildlife including mute swans and bottlenose dolphins.
