Deforestation in the Amazon rainforest is occurring for several economic, social, and political reasons. The largest causes are cattle ranching, logging, and agriculture expansion, which have negative environmental and economic effects like species loss, reduced ability of the forest to stay green, and flooding from dams. While some government programs encourage these activities, increased law enforcement with fines for illegal tree cutting may help preserve the environment more than awareness programs alone.

In 2016, forest fires have been noted in numerous places across the Indian state of Uttarakhand. These fires, set mainly in pine forests in the slopes of the sub-Himalayan region, produced clouds of smoke. Widespread comments in the Indian news media led to the government taking action, deploying the National Disaster Response Force and making use of Indian Air Force Mi-17 helicopters fitted with "Bambi buckets" to douse the fires with water. The forest department estimated that 3,500 hectares (8,600 acres) of forest had been burnt. Nearly 1,600 incidences of fires were detected which were brought under control by 2 May. The rains on 3 May helped in reducing the impact of fires.
In our Rural Climate Dialogues program, we work with rural communities to develop and implement plans to strengthen community resilience in the face of climate change. The state convening took place in Saint Paul, inviting residents of Winona, Itasca, and Stevens County to discuss sustainability goals and collaboration with state agencies.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:

Deforestation is a significant issue that is occurring in the Amazon rainforest right now. Many different aspects are causing the rainforest to become destroyed.
The Amazon rainforest is a tropical rainforest located in the Amazon basin of South America. It is the world’s largest rainforest, 1.4 billion acres. This rainforest is home to as many as 90 percent of the plant and animal species throughout the world.
A lot of the Amazon rainforest has already been destroyed. Between May 2000 and August 2006, Brazil lost nearly 150,000 square kilometers of forest which is an area larger than Greece. Also, since 1970, over 600,000 square kilometers (232,000 square miles) of Amazon rainforest have been destroyed.
This is a map of South America. It shows how the vegetation in the Amazon region is the highest.
One economic cause is cattle ranching. Cattle ranching is the process of clearing the rainforest in order to grow beef for the world market. 65-70% of deforestation is caused by cattle ranching. Logging is another cause of deforestation. Logging is the process of cutting down trees to sell them as timber. Currency Devaluation is the devaluation of the Brazilian real against the dollar which effectively doubled the price of beef in reels. There is subsistence agriculture which is self-sufficiency farming. There is also commercial agriculture, which is when farmers produce crops for sale. Fires and mining cause deforestation as well.
An economic effect is that cattle ranching clears out the rainforest in order to raise cattle to produce beef. Also, Logging in the denser regions of the forests resulted in the construction of new roads. Another effect is that the rainforest is losing its ability to stay green due to fires. Also, the destruction of the rainforest leaves many animals without a habitat, which can lead to extinction. Plants are also being killed. In addition, clearing the forest by burning trees releases carbon dioxide. This contributes greatly to climate change.
Another economic effect of deforestation is that farmers are expandng their pasture areas by clearing out parts of the rainforest. Soybean farms cause some forest clearing directly. But they have a much greater impact on deforestation by consuming cleared land, savanna, and transitional forests. This thereby pushes ranchers and slash-and-burn farmers even deeper into the forest frontier, causing deforestation.
One social cause of deforestation is dams. For instance, the Balbina dam flooded some 2,400 square kilometers (920 square miles) of rainforest when it was completed. Wildfires are simply caused by nature. Another economic cause is poor migrants. They are traveling in order to claim land for themselves.
A social effect of dams is that the flooding of them destroys the rainforest. Wildfires, another social effect, dries out and destroys the rainforest as well. A third social effect is poor migrants. These migrants clear the land in order to claim land for themselves.
Some government agencies such as the Ministry of Transportation, continue to plan and build roads and other infrastructure projects without regard for impact on deforestation. Another political cause of deforestation is that some government incentive programs are promoting agriculture.
A political effect is that since the government wants to build roads, it shows that they are not thinking about the harm and damage that they can cause towards the Amazon rainforest. Sometimes, the government can focus on agriculture and the economy instead of focusing on the significant issue of deforestation.
This pie chart on the left shows the different causes of deforestation and their percentages between 2000-2005. Cattle ranching causes 65-70% of deforestation, etc. The graph on the right, shows how many square kilometers were deforestated per year from 1988-2010.
My first solution is about law enforcement. The government could make a law stating that a person is not allowed to cut down trees around the rainforest area, and if that person does, they will receive a fine. The positives of this solution is that it would help preserve the environment. The negatives of this solution is that it would hurt the economy since loggers will no longer be able to cut down trees in order to sell them as timber.
My second solution is to have government mandated school programs in the region in order to create further awareness of deforestation in the Amazon. The positives of this solution is that it will raise awareness to more people and help prevent further destruction of the rainforest in the future. The negatives of this solution is that it may not decrease the problem of deforestation directly.
I think that solution #1 is more effective because enforcing laws would directly solve the problem of loggers and farmers who cut down trees, and giving them a fine if they do not obey that law. In my opinion, Solution #1 would more likely directly solve some of the issues that cause deforestation and decrease it more than solution #2 would.
I signed a petition stating that we need to save our rainforests, especially the Amazon rainforest, in order to help our future. One thing it states is that the carbon dioxide that is released by trees that are killed, will harm the earth. A second thing it states is that if these forests continue to disappear at the alarming rate that they are now, many possible medicines and ways to treat diseases will be lost due to the biodiversity in the forests.
