Bioacoustic Monitoring of Biodiversity - our first presentation of bioacoustic monitoring in cooperation with the Global Canopy Initiative (Andrew Mitchell?), in 2002
nternational Biodiversity Projects and Natural History Museums: Current stat...Klaus Riede
Background / Purpose: The 21st century started with an impressive number of international biodiversity initiatives, such as the International Year of Biodiversity (2010) and the recently launched United Nations Decade on Biodiversity ( http://www.cbd.int/2011-2020/ ). Main conclusion: Most nations are now members of the Convention on Biological Diversity and expressed a strong commitment for safeguarding Earth´s biodiversity through their National Biodiversity Action Plans and work programs supporting taxonomy, such as the Global Taxonomy Initiative. Internet projects such as the Global Biodiversity Information Facility provide unprecedented opportunities for taxonomists and Natural History Museums to make their efforts visible through the federation of separate museum databases: users can search for species, visualise localities on a map and recall pictures of museum specimens made available by “Virtual Museums”. However, availability of multimedia data is still limited, particularly for type specimens. Taking European museums as an example, I demonstrate the potential of successful virtual museum projects and analyse priorities and needs for further digitisation, which is a pre-requisite for repatriation of biodiversity data from tropical countries. Improved access to collections is also among the main tasks of the recently established CETAF secretariat in Brussels ( Consortium of European Taxonomic Facilities ). This new institution will function as a European voice for taxonomy and systematics, and hopefully helps to sustain orphaned EU activities from former projects supporting taxonomy, such as the European Distributed Institute of Taxonomy .

Efficiency analysis of transboundary conservation strategies for migratory species.
(Presentiation at the DIVERSITAS Oaxaca conference 2005)
Speaker: Dr. Klaus Riede (Alexander Koenig Research Institute and Museum of Zoology, Bonn, Germany).
Background and Goal of Study
Migratory species are a challenge for conservation, because their movements across national boundaries require efficient coordination of environmental legislation. Legal frameworks are provided by various Multilateral Environmental Agreements, such as the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS or Bonn Convention: 88 member states), or several bi- and trilateral conventions. The efficiency of these agreements is investigated by tracking changes in threat status of migratory species. "Hot spots" of migratory species distributions were identified and correlated with major threats to key habitats.
Materials and Methods
The Global Register of Migratory Species (www.groms.de) lists 4,400 migratory vertebrate species, together with threat status as given by the IUCN Red List, and their protection status through the Appendices of the Bonn Convention. Using a Geographical Information System (ArcView 3.2: ESRI), digital distribution maps for 1,100 migratory species were merged and intersected, resulting in a grid map of global migratory species diversity.
Results and Discussion
Several migratory species were upgraded as "Critically Endangered", which is the highest threat category of the IUCN Red List, during the latest assessments. Among those are migratory flagship species such as Saiga antelope (Saiga tatarica), or the Giant catfish (Pangasius gigas), listed on Appendix I of the Bonn Convention. They are threatened by illegal hunting, over-exploitation and habitat destruction. Construction of dams interrupts upstream fish migrations, and non-sustainable fishing operations in the high seas threaten oceanodromous fishes. However, only 22 out of 1,886 migratory fish species have hitherto been listed on CMS Appendices. The GIS analysis shows high diversity of migratory species in temperate regions and highly industrialized countries.
Conclusion
This analysis shows that concentrating conservation efforts on single species or tropical biodiversity hotspots is not sufficient for migratory species. The huge ranges and movements of these species require fundamental changes in agricultural, forestry and fishery practices, which have to be compatible with maintenance of healthy populations of migratory species, many of which are of economical importance.

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.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
"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.
WRI’s brand new “Food Service Playbook for Promoting Sustainable Food Choices” gives food service operators the very latest strategies for creating dining environments that empower consumers to choose sustainable, plant-rich dishes. This research builds off our first guide for food service, now with industry experience and insights from nearly 350 academic trials.
