The cover picture shows Genesis1:11™ Rocket Capsule (Penetrator). Genesis1:11™ is a high-technology toolset  which supports plantation and forestation on distant planets. The technology includes but is not limited to semi-capsuled ecosystems and various physical and precision software tools enabling to inject microorganisms and to grow plant roots in extraterrestrial soils. This offers a means to contribute to the creation of the remote planet’s atmosphere owing to root respiration and microbial activity. By this, it contributes to a sustainable future for humankind in remote places, having extreme climatic and environmental conditions

The cover picture shows one of the most busy four-lanes roads in Guayaquil- Ecuador under quarantine.

Given this context, the focus of our first issue has changed, offering a feature article on the effects on air pollution (TSP) prior and after traffic restrictions and curfew against COVID-19 spread, in Ecuador’s three most populated cities. Environmental monitoring was performed next to high traffic roads in Quito, Guayaquil, and Cuenca. After the implementation of traffic restrictions, the most striking drop in suspended particulate contained by air was measured in Cuenca, where 96.47% decrease in PM2.5 was assessed, relative to the emission observed prior to road traffic ban.
