We will be looking at the importance of planning your site and content before you get going. If you are running a site that goes beyond the occasional blog post you'll need to consider how you are going to manage your content. Maybe some things can be done today, but other things may need weeks or months of forward planning.
I'll be talking about:
Demographics: who is your audience and why it is important to focus on market segments.
Mind mapping: where does your content fit within your site.
Planning your content in detail: does it fit the expectations of your audience?
Tracking your content: who will write it, what is its expected life span?
Time lines - how long will it take to: create the content, get permissions and clearances, does it need to coincide with another event?

The Million Project with PAN Parks Wilderness DefinitionZoltan Kun
This is a presentation which I prepared for the Identification and Mapping of Wilderness workshop (Brasov, Romania, 23-24 February 2012). The event was organised by WWF Danube/Carpathian Programme as part of its attempt to map wilderness areas in the Carpathian.
My main message was:
we need to be strict with our wilderness definition and true wilderness areas should join the PAN Parks' The Million Project!
This presentation was given during the TEEB conference in Leipzig on 22 March 2012. I was trying to make the case that wilderness areas require a special attention when applying the TEEB principles, because their direct use values are very limited, very often '0'. This was the first presentation when I was trying to visualise our The Million Project saying that this would mean wilderness protection of the size of Cyprus. While we have already covered Germany with concrete to make a whole country a concrete jungle.
ecosystem services versus commercial forestryZoltan Kun
I used this presentation during the TBLI Europe 2012 conference in Zurich on 8 November. I argue that investors should start valuing the non-use value of forests! There are 4 examples in the presentation which demonstrate that non-use values might deliver more than exploiting nature!
The presentation is divided into 4 parts:
introducing PAN Parks and how we define wilderness
introducing the concept of economics of wilderness through payment for ecosystem services
presenting 4 examples across Europe
explaining the sense of urgency to safeguard Europe's last pieces of wilderness
Investors! Change your way of thinking and go for wilderness!
Natura 2000 and wilderness - the link to European policyZoltan Kun
in the lack of the representation of the European Commission, the Chairman of the European Wilderness Society put together a presentation about the link between wilderness protection and European Union policy in Europe.

Introduction to the work and MANTRA of the European Wilderness SocietyZoltan Kun
The European Wilderness Society is a citizens' inititative based on the outcomes of the 10th World Wilderness Congress. The organisation has a simple mantra: MORE WILDERNESS IN EUROPE.
We translated our mantra into a simple goal to protect 5% of Europe based on wilderness principles. More in the presentation

PAN Parks, the European Wilderness WatchdogZoltan Kun
During the WILD10 conference (10th World Wilderness Congress), my colleague Vlado Vancura was presenting PAN Parks and highlighted the importance of our verification process, which audits the management effectiveness of wilderness areas across Europe.
This process makes PAN Parks the European Wilderness Watchdog.
We have the unique expertise to check the existence of wilderness and advise protected areas how to improve management effectiveness
This third-party evidence based verification is going to be the basis of our newly developed Wilderness Integrated Management (WIM, working title) system.
What makes a good conservation writer? The view of an editorZoltan Kun
As a member of the International League of Conservation Writer (ILCW), I was invited to speak at the ILCW 2nd session during the 10th World Wilderness Congress aka WILD10.
My presentation was focused on what conditions I think make a good conservation writer. I was of course focusing on writing for EUrope's wilderness. Therefore my openbing statement was: we refuse very few slips, because we need more stories arguing for the protection of Europe's wilderness.
This is the presentation which I delivered in Salamanca during the 10th World WILDERNESS Congress (aka WILD10) on 4 October 2013. I deliberately used little text, because I was trying to a) tell stories and b) engaging the audience with my 99 luftballon idea (the presentation should soon be available in video format)
I was basically arguing for the followings:
- Europe still got wilderness
- 1 million hectares of the most precious wilderness areas are included in the PAN Parks' European Wilderness Preservation System
- we simply need more wilderness than the current 1%
and finally I called the audience to join us to fight for 5% wilderness cover in Europe

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

processes. It is composed of native habitats and
species, and large enough for the effective
ecological functioning of natural processes. It is
unmodified or only slightly modified and without
intrusive or extractive human activity, settlements,
infrastructure or visual disturbance.
