Monitor indicators of genetic diversity from space using Earth Observation dataSpatial Genetics
Genetic diversity within and among populations is essential for species persistence. While targets and indicators for genetic diversity are captured in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, assessing genetic diversity across many species at national and regional scales remains challenging. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) need accessible tools for reliable and efficient monitoring at relevant scales. Here, we describe how Earth Observation satellites (EO) make essential contributions to enable, accelerate, and improve genetic diversity monitoring and preservation. Specifically, we introduce a workflow integrating EO into existing genetic diversity monitoring strategies and present a set of examples where EO data is or can be integrated to improve assessment, monitoring, and conservation. We describe how available EO data can be integrated in innovative ways to support calculation of the genetic diversity indicators of the GBF monitoring framework and to inform management and monitoring decisions, especially in areas with limited research infrastructure or access. We also describe novel, integrative approaches to improve the indicators that can be implemented with the coming generation of EO data, and new capabilities that will provide unprecedented detail to characterize the changes to Earth’s surface and their implications for biodiversity, on a global scale.
Trichogramma spp. is an efficient egg parasitoids that potentially assist to manage the insect-pests from the field condition by parasiting the host eggs. To mass culture this egg parasitoids effectively, we need to culture another stored grain pest- Rice Meal Moth (Corcyra Cephalonica). After rearing this pest, the eggs of Corcyra will carry the potential Trichogramma spp., which is an Hymenopteran Wasp. The detailed Methodologies of rearing both Corcyra Cephalonica and Trichogramma spp. have described on this ppt.

2. Offsetting emissions
Alloy Wire is making an effort to tackle climate
change by ensuring that all manufacturing,
deliveries and even employee commuting
emissions will be offset.
As a worldwide supplier of wire, bars and wire rope,
it was found that the main emissions came from
energy consumption and delivering products to
customers all over the globe.
3. Carbon Neutral Britain
To achieve this, AWI has partnered with
Carbon Neutral Britain to measure and
offset its carbon footprint, becoming
certified as a Carbon Neutral Business
for a period of 12 months.
4. Wired For Good
This is all part of the company’s Wired
For Good campaign, an initiative that will
see it boost its work supporting local
charities and, importantly, committing
to becoming carbon neutral.

5. How AWI became carbon neutral
Following analysis and planning, in July Alloy Wire offset the
total carbon footprint necessary to become certified as a
Carbon Neutral Business. AWI was careful to partner with an
organisation who provided 100% verified carbon credits and
full transparency, with every process regulated, verified and
third party audited.
This has been done following calculation using the ISO 14064
and GHG Protocol Emissions Standard principles of relevance,
completeness, consistency, transparency and accuracy.

6. Maintaining
carbon neutral status
In order to make sure Alloy Wire
continues to hit targets, the firm has
partnered with Carbon Neutral Britain,
who work with a number of specialist
organisations, with the focus on

7. An opportunity
to play our part!
Mark Venables, Managing Director
Alloy Wire International
“
We recognise that manufacturing is one of the largest
greenhouse gas emitters in the UK and saw this initiative as an
opportunity to play our part in a matter that will be shaping
public opinion, consumer behaviour and policy changes moving
forward. We feel this is a good message to combine with the
75th anniversary this year, showing that we have a legacy as a
company but also how we are proactive in thinking about the
future and how we will sustain another 75 years in business.”
