Saving the Wild - 21st Century Imperatives, by Dr. Jane SmartWILD Foundation
Dr. Jane Smart, Director of the Biodiversity Conservation Group and Head of the Species Program for the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), spoke during the Friday (6 November) WILD9 plenary on "Global Perspectives," specifically on "Saving the Wild - 21st Century Imperatives."
During 2015 I worked as a teacher at a male vocational college in Saudi Arabia. As part of my post grad studies in Education management, law and policy, I had to conduct action research on value-driven education. I chose an environmental project on recycling, de-littering and land restoration, based on the issue of littering in Saudi Arabia. I involved my students by educating them and making them aware of the issue and then actively involved them to address the issue on a practical level within their community. This proposal was what I had to make to acquire permission and gain involvement from the college authorities.

Principles and Lessons Learned from Wetlands and Carbon ProjectsCIFOR-ICRAF
This presentation was given by Steve Crooks at a COP20 side-event titled "Guiding Principles for Delivering Coastal Wetland Carbon Projects” in Lima, Peru.
Coastal wetland ecosystems play a significant role in sequestering and storing carbon in biomass and soils. These ecosystems, however, are facing tremendous pressure and large portion of them are already degraded due to unsustainable cuttings and aquaculture development. This panel discussed options for policy and practice for improving sustainability and realizing the full mitigation and adaptation potential of coastal wetland ecosystems.

3. UINTWIN/ UNESCO Program
• The UINTWIN Program was established
on 1992 – in accordance with
resolution adopted by the General
Conference of UNESCO at its 26th
session.
• UINTWIN is an abbreviation for the
university education twinning and
networking scheme
4. ?What is the Area of Activity
• The UNITWIN (Chairs Program(
covers the following areas of activity:
1. Capacity Building and Training
2. Research and Exchange of
Academics
3. Offers a Platform for Information
Sharing
5. The Effectiveness of
UINTWIN Programs
• Such programs have proven to be
effective and dynamic in the following
fields:
• Establishing new teaching programs
• Generating new idea through research
• Facilitating the enrichment of the
existing university programs
6. Establishment of a UCEC
Chair in Sudan
• On 14.12.2004 the Director-General of
UNESCO and the Director of the
Computer Man College for Computer
Studies in Khartoum (currently Future
University-Sudan(, signed an
agreement setting up a new

10. Atmospheric Pollution
• More specifically, atmospheric
pollution may be defined as:
• ‘the presence of substances in the
atmosphere, resulting from
• man-made activities or from
natural processes , causing
adverse effects to man and the
environment’.
11. The 5 Air Pollutants
• EPA calculates the AQI for five major
air pollutants regulated by the Clean
Air Act:
• Ground-level ozone,
• Particulate Matter (PM10),
• Carbon monoxide,
• Sulfur dioxide, and
• Nitrogen dioxide
14. Marine Sciences
Environmental and marine sciences focus
on the application of biological, chemical,
and physical principles to the study of the
physical and marine environment and the
solution of environmental problems,
including subjects such as controlling
environmental pollution and degradation;
the interaction between human society
. and the natural environment
18. An Eco-Smart Buildings
1. An ESB is a home or structure that is
ecologically responsive and economical.
2. It is healthier for man and the planet.
3. It does not waste resources, off-gas
toxins, or unnecessarily harm the
environment.
4. It has a minimal environmental footprint
5. It reduces the amount of energy and
resource usage
21. Some Criteria of Ecotourism
• Conservation of biological diversity
and cultural diversity, through
ecosystem protection
• Promotion of sustainable use of
biodiversity , by providing jobs to local
populations
• Sharing of socio-economic benefits
with local communities
22. Continue
• Increase of environmental & cultural
knowledge
• Minimization of tourism's own
environmental impact
• Affordability and lack of waste in the
form of luxury
• Local culture, flora and fauna being the
main attractions
