This power-point presentation reviews some of the resources available online for wilderness managers and was presented during the WILD9 Wilderness Management Seminar (November 2009).
The documents provide information about applying to various Master's in Business Administration (MBA) programs and graduate business programs at different universities. They describe application requirements and procedures, including submitting an online application, providing transcripts, letters of recommendation, test scores from the GMAT or GRE, a resume, and a personal statement. The application reviews vary but generally evaluate an applicant's academic history, work experience, extracurricular activities, and fit with the program. Completing an application can take some time but provides the chance to pursue an advanced business degree.
This document provides a list of resources for studying including:
- Websites for study guides, scheduling goals, creating to-do lists, prioritizing tasks, and checking study skills.
- Citation generators and chapter reviews.
- Mobile apps for studying literature.
- Websites for flashcards and asking questions.
- Information about MIT's Open Courseware program which provides free online courses.
- Definitions of the deep web and its size compared to search engines.
- Database resources for research.
The document provides links to resources from Columbia University, Hamilton University, Monash University, and an external website on how to structure a thesis introduction and write an effective thesis statement. The resources offer guidance on organizing a thesis, writing introductions and thesis statements, structuring a thesis introduction, and how to write an effective thesis overall.
This document contains Paul Schönsleben's lecture on logistics, operations, and supply chain management. It defines key terms like goods, products, materials, and components. It discusses the dimensions and life cycle of goods. It explains value-added management and the basic problem of synchronizing supply and demand. It also outlines entrepreneurial objectives in logistics, potential conflicts between objectives, opportunity costs, and performance indicators to measure objectives in the areas of quality, costs, delivery, and flexibility.
The document is a record of achievement certifying that Loveleen Saini successfully completed the openSAP course "Developing Web Apps with SAPUI5" from May 24 to June 28, 2016. The four-week course consisted of 4-6 hours of learning per week, optional coding exercises, 4 weekly assignments, and a final exam. Saini scored 207 out of a possible 240 points, equivalent to 86%, through assignments and a final exam.
- The document discusses a study on the impact of using iPads in a journalism classroom. Students were given iPads loaded with apps for note-taking, recording, writing, and researching.
- Surveys found that students' confidence in using the iPad as a tool increased over the semester as they became more familiar with it. Student work and grades also improved.
- Using the iPad as both an educational and multimedia tool engaged students more and allowed them to learn and execute concepts faster in a way that simulated real-world journalism.
This document is a quotation from Evita Lee of Hiimac providing details on a sand rotary dryer system. The system includes a belt conveyor, rotary dryer with cyclone dust collector, bucket elevator, silo, and spare parts for $160,323 USD with delivery in 35 days. The rotary dryer is model Dia.3000x25m and is capable of drying sand from 3-5% moisture to less than 0.5% at a capacity of 30-35 tons per hour. The quotation also specifies terms regarding packaging, quality assurance, installation, and contact information for any questions.

Mali Elephant Project: Reconciliation MeetingWILD Foundation
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against developing mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already have a condition.
Making Spain a Wilder Place: Turning problems into opportunities. A pre-WILD10 targeted seminar on the possibilities for and the benefits from rewilding in Spain. Organized by Rewilding Europe in collaboration with Fundación Naturaleza y Hombre, Fundación Felíx Rodríguez de la Fuente, Associação Transumância e Natureza and Fundación José María Blanc.
The Wilderness Leadership School continues as one of the leading organizations in Africa providing a true wilderness experience. Now well over 55 years strong, it was originally established by Ian Player (WILD’s founder) and his Zulu brother and mentor, Magqubu Ntombela.
Namibia’s system of protected/conservation priority areas with numerous types of ownership and management, and the ecological connectivity within this system, is one of the most impressive examples in the world of the Nature Needs Half vision.
With the recent declaration of Dorob National Park in 2010, Namibia became the first and only country in the world to have its entire coastline under protection via a network of four National Parks. The 1,500km long coastline now contributes to an impressive protected area network totaling about 42% of Namibia’s total land mass, not to mention a newly declared Marine Protected Area (MPA) accounting for an additional 12,000 km2.
Imagine an area in Africa that has never been forcibly colonized; an area home to the most mysterious combination of habitats—desert, in-land river delta, forests. With 45 percent of its land protected, Botswana represents what Nature Needs Half is all about.
Presenting the long-dormant plan for a transboundary park along the USA/Mexico border in the region of Big Bend (Texas) and Maderas del Carmen, Mexico. The Natural Area of Bi-National Interest was officially launched 24 October 2011.
The South Caucasus region of Southwest Asia is a superb example of planning for Nature Needs Half in an ecosystem of great natural beauty, critical biodiversity importance, and long established human settlements. An important, life-sustaining target has been established.

This document discusses how nature responds to boom, bust, and bailout cycles in a sustainable way. It provides examples of how nature optimizes resources rather than maximizes consumption, eliminates waste, exhibits resilience by incorporating past mistakes, and respects ecological boundaries and carrying capacities. The document suggests that to avoid future crises, humans could learn from nature by stabilizing populations and consumption locally, developing feedback loops, and co-evolving solutions with local environments instead of attempting to control or dominate natural systems.
Chris Dowswell, Executive Director Sasakawa Africa Association, spoke during the Thursday (12 November) WILD9 plenary on Wilderness and People - A new agriculture for wilderness and climate change.
