Horizon Guides: Inside Armenia’s Shipping Container Cities

Thousands still living in makeshift shipping container homes over 30 years after Armenia's devastating Spitak earthquake. Read my feature at Horizon Guides (photos by Stephanie Foden): https://horizonguides.com/journal/inside-armenias-shipping-container-cities

This spring, you might’ve had the opportunity to hear the clicking-bell croaks of tiny chorus frogs. But human development, especially expanding suburbs, are silencing these little guys and they could soon go extinct. I wrote about the multi-pronged effort to save chorus frogs in Quebec for @globeandmail. With wonderful photos by @stephaniefoden.
