Field trip sendang biru, muncar and perancak (Bali) by Lida Pet-SoedeWWF
The document summarizes a field trip to Sendang Biru, Muncar, and Perancak in Indonesia. It notes that tuna fishers in Sendang Biru have shifted from shark fishing to catching yellowfin tuna around fish aggregating devices due to declining shark catches. It also discusses concerns about increasing catches of juvenile tuna and the potential for stock collapse if this continues. The trip included observing turtle conservation efforts in Perancak that have protected nests for 17 years and now see over 400 nests hatch each season.
Fish cultivation involves rearing fish and aquatic products from a young stage using various methods. The fish pen method constructs square or rectangular pens in shallow lakes using nets, bamboo, and wood posts. The fishpond method uses either fresh or salt water in dug or natural ponds. The open-water method cultivates mussels, oysters, and clams in bays, seas, and lagoons. Common fish used for cultivation include tilapia, milkfish, carp, catfish, mudfish, and gourami.
This coloring book aims to teach kids about fish you can catch and other animals that live in the aquatic environment. The aquatic environment is home to animals that live in water and on land. Some of these include fish, frogs and herons. Water is essential to all life.

Wildlife & ecosystems threatened by the irresponsible expansion of soyWWF
The expansion of soy production threatens wildlife and ecosystems in South America. It has contributed to the loss of over half of the Cerrado biome in Brazil, the world's most biodiverse savannah. Soy cultivation often displaces small farmers and uses pesticides that can contaminate water sources. Much of the soy is used as feed for poultry and pork consumed in Europe, linking European diets to environmental impacts abroad through land use for soy production. Conservation efforts are needed to protect habitats and species from further soy-driven destruction.
This document discusses why businesses should care about responsible soy sourcing. It notes that global soy production has increased nearly tenfold since 1961 to meet rising demand for meat and other livestock products. However, this expansion has contributed to environmental and social problems like deforestation, biodiversity loss, and land conflicts. Specifically, it highlights that less than 8% of Brazil's Atlantic Rainforest remains, over 50% of the Cerrado savannah has been destroyed, and the Chaco forest in Argentina is threatened by agricultural expansion for soy. The document urges businesses to consider these impacts of irresponsible soy production.
From its origins as a small group of committed wildlife enthusiasts, WWF has grown into one of the world's largest and most respected independent conservation organizations – supported by 5 million people and active in over 100 countries on five continents.
Palm oil is found in many products you probably use every day. But its production sometimes comes at the expense of forests, communities and wildlife. What are the solutions?
Breathtaking photos of Raja Ampat, the world's epicentre of coral reef diversity, taken from the WWF Coral Triangle expedition blog - http://blogs.panda.org/coral_triangle.
This document summarizes several newly discovered species found in the Heart of Borneo, including a lungless frog that breathes through its skin, a brightly colored flame snake, a love dart shooting slug, the world's longest insect, and a color changing flying frog. It also mentions the discovery of a new bird species, numerous orchid species, a striped fish, and a tiny freshwater prawn. All of these new findings help illustrate the biodiversity still left to be discovered on the island of Borneo.
This document is a collection of photographs related to freshwater around the world with captions highlighting the importance of freshwater as it relates to species, life, and ecosystems. The photographs show various landscapes and species dependent on freshwater from locations around the globe. The captions emphasize freshwater as a source of life, a way of life for many communities, in need of care and protection, and often taken for granted.
The world is running up huge ecological debts, just as it has run up huge financial debts. Neither is sustainable. Our leaders cannot successfully put capitalism back together again without at the same time fixing the greatest single consequence of unsustainability – climate change.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

2. After several flights hopping the islands of Indonesia’s extensive archipelago,
we arrived at Wasior in Papua, where WWF has a Field Station and where we
stepped on the Gurano Bintang education boat.
3. The Gurano Bintang – whale shark in the local language – would be
our floating home for a few days. It tours the largest (>1.4 million
ha) Marine National Park in Indonesia, providing environmental
education for local schools.
4. Mr Segre is welcomed at Napan Yaur village, where a community conservation
cadre of 20 people protect their bay and surrounding waters.
5. The traditional welcome includes placing our feet on the sand,
which symbolizes that we are friends. We also danced around the
communal area a few times, accompanied by thundering drums
and many kids.
6. The local band sings about the importance of the ocean and reefs and we
enjoy a “light” snack, which includes three types of starchy Sago AND grilled
un-ripe bananas.
8. The community asks us to consider replacing their dysfunctional alternative energy
system and options for small-scale ecotourism activities around their village.
9. As we leave, the kids from Napan Yaur guide us out of the
beautiful bay.
10. Back on board we get a briefing by the field team and WWF whale shark coordinator,
Cassandra, about their work with Brent Steward on whale shark migration and needs
for conservation of these gentle giants.
11. The lift net fishers, who operate their nets and lights at night to catch small
pelagic fish, know the whale sharks well as these gentle giants circle their boat
platforms for an easy meal.
12. It takes only a second to put on our snorkel gear and we
swim with these magnificent creatures for hours.
13. Jim Leape and Lida in a close encounter with the whale shark
as it enjoys its break fast.
14. The water is so clear that we see the whale sharks
come up from the deep to get a snack of yesterday’s
catch.
19. It feels like I entered a completely different
magical world.
20.
21. In Cendrawasih National Park, the coastal ecosystems are mostly
intact. Coastal flats and mangroves are important fish nursery
grounds.
22. Place caption here A nice option to come back to with my family—Kali
Lemon Homestay: www.hiniotanibre.com
23. A quiet coastal village near Roon. Local children will come
aboard Gurano Bintang for a lesson on sea turtles.
24. More than 1,000 children (and some of their parents) have
joined the WWF environmental education program in
Cendrawasih so far.
25. The children learn why sea turtles are important to protect; sing songs
about the ocean; and jump overboard to swim home after a healthy snack.
26. This village uses sea turtles traditionially, but the children are keen to
tell their parents to protect these majestic creatures from now on.
27. Our trip to the Bali tuna harbor illustrates how many boats
operate around Indonesia. Many of them now use circle hooks to
avoid catching sea turtles.
28. We visit the export facility of a significant WWF Seafood Saver
partner.
29. Jim Leape and Efransjah discuss the reasons for the owner’s fisheries
sustainability program, which now supports >6000 fishers throughout
Eastern Indonesia.
30. Lunch is a responsibly-caught steamed coral trout. This is only the second time
ever I ate this type of fish. It is exquisite indeed!
31. The Bali Turtle Conservation and Education Centre: http://tcec-bali.org/
Here the Serangan community with help of GusWindia Adnyana and his students from
Udayana University supports turtle conservation at the grass roots level.
32. Mr Segre tells Tetha how he remembers swimming with sea turtles, and how these
beautiful ocean creatures are so terribly threathened while they harm no one.
33. A fish whisperer and her children. Will we continue to have enough fish to
feed coastal communities?
