Biodiversity Informatics in South Africa, as in other parts of the world, is a young and dynamic field of science, which translates into an enormous challenge for biodiversity scientists. Understanding mechanisms for information sharing in this landscape has been successful over time. The South African National Biodiversity Institute, houses the GBIF Node, and supports a knowledge-management platform, which makes biodiversity data freely and openly available. The South African Biodiversity Information Facility (SABIF) is a major publisher of biodiversity data, making >11.5 million biodiversity data records available, from a growing network of more than 15 organisations, to the global scientific community. Data standards such as the Darwin Core, and protocols such as TAPIR and the Integrated Publishing Toolkit have been used. Data sharing takes place through both funded and non-funded mechanisms, to initiate digitization activities. A comprehensive policy framework has also been put in place by SANBI, to enable data sharing which takes into account intellectual property rights, citations and sensitive data. The scope of data of types being mobilized is increasing through the Foundational Biodiversity Information Programme with species, specimens, observation, images and molecular data being mobilised, and made accessible. The Information Architecture is evolving to support these data types and to ensure that relevant data can be accessed efficiently in support of science, policy and decision making.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

a whole and between existing SRI networks not only
creates solidarity, but can help with scaling up,
collaborative problem-solving, and getting information
about SRI to those who need it.
Knowledge-sharing networks/groups, if adequately
supported, can help
• stakeholders locate information
• reach a wider audience, and
• create a more enabling policy environment.

17. HOWEVER, there are things that are more difficult for
SRI-Rice to provide ….
Requests for training and trainers in specific countries / regions
Requests from around the world for information on where to acquire
appropriate equipment locally
Requests for information on developing domestic / international
markets for rice produced with SRI methods
Regional and national networks could help
maintain this information.. But they need
support to do this

SRI Research Topic Priorities
(End of 2021)
32. What you might take away from this presentation
Increased interest and opportunities are arising due to SRI’s ability to
address climate change and food security. Let’s make use of this
opportunity!
We need to think about design and access of SRI-adapted equipment if we
want to scale up dramatically
We need to find ways to promote and support quality SRI research,
especially in smaller institutions.
We need to find a way to provide support and capacity-building for national
and regional networks so that they can provide relevant information to
multiple audiences
33. Thanks!

Editor's Notes
Society for Advancement of Rice Research
A little over 20 years ago, SRI spread from Madagascar to Asia and Africa and later to the Americas. Darker colors show where SRI is more firmly established in multiple areas; some have national policy support. For much of its history SRI has been adopted by small-scale farmers and been especially successful with resource-limited farmers. Adoption slower on larger-scale farms because adapted equipment is not yet widely available, many are already entrenched in green revolution agriculture, the information and extension is not widely available, and the political will is often missing. However, in an era of climate-change and economic distress related to the pandemic, SRI is one of the few innovations that can deliver on both climate change mitigation and adaptation through reduced methane emissions and water use AND food security… and without incurring large costs to either farmers or the government. as of COP 27, 11 countries have added SRI specifically to their NDCs, so this may be a sign that a new era is afoot where SRI can attract attention, policy support for extension, irrigation infrastructure, marketing and figure out how to extend carbon credits and various financial instruments that can help small farmers to adopt and adapt SRI.
an NDC, or Nationally Determined Contribution, is a climate action plan to cut emissions and adapt to climate impacts. Each Party to the Paris Agreement is required to establish an NDC and update it every five years..
After as of COP 27, 11 countries have added SRI specifically to their NDCs, so this may be a sign that a new era is afoot where SRI can attract attention, policy support for extension, irrigation infrastructure, marketing and figure out how to extend carbon credits and various financial instruments that can help small farmers to adopt and adapt SRI.
Some confusion. Not a package of practices. But does reduce water, seed, and other inputs and related costs, environmental degradation and does increase yield. With water, labor and mitigation issues, many are moving to direct seeding with or without raised beds.
Most in Asia. 1 in Africa. They arose organically. But you will notice that many do not have any online presence and, if they do, it is often not current and does not provide practical information for farmers or useful information for governments or others to use. SRI-rice does have a global website
Ones that are funded tend to close when the funding ends as they are structured around a paid coordinator
As a
It was hoped that this meeting would result in a SRI Asia Network…. But we have not completed the process yet..
The question is : How to support them? Funding for secretariats and coordinators often cause them to fail when the funding ends. The ones runs by volunteers often cannot provide online info and they go to sleep from time to time between activities.
Came later to LAC. There are at least 14 countries. National projects, many promoted through IICA often works through govt.s
Priorities: 1), as average rice farm size is generally larger in LAC than Asia, mechanization is a constraint at the top of the priority list.
2) Water scarcity is becoming severe which has led to SRI projects in Ecuador and Chile with Chile going toward direct seeding. There is a regional project by FONTAGRO ( a Colombia-based group. Following recent climate change interest a new project is upcoming about GHGs in Ecuador, Uruguay and Chile?

What they were researching, not what they found. That’s in the panel
There are now 100 journal article on GHGs and climate change in the database
