This document discusses declining raptor populations in Pennsylvania and efforts by Hawk Mountain Sanctuary and partners to encourage conservation of American Kestrels, Northern Harriers, Short-eared Owls, and Barn Owls on farmland. Key reasons for the declines include habitat loss through conversion of hayfields and removal of dead trees used for nesting, as well as pesticide and rodenticide use. The project enlists landowners to report sightings and install nest boxes to increase nesting sites. Over 200 landowners have participated so far. The project encourages habitat restoration and provides information to landowners on raptor-friendly practices.

Winter Wheat News Story
High yields of winter wheat in Whitman County resulted in small profits for farmers this year. While production increased 40% from 2015 to 130 million bushels, wheat prices are at record lows of around $4 per bushel, lowering profits. With wet conditions slowing harvesting and impacting quality, prices dropped to around $3.50 per bushel, below the $6.80 break-even point. While yields were above average, low market prices made for a low profit year for wheat farmers in the region.
Ranchland Conversion, Rangeland Conservation
The document discusses the state of ranching in the western United States. It notes that nearly 109 million acres of private ranchland exist, and 85% of public lands in the interior west, totaling 300 million acres, are used for grazing cattle and sheep. However, western ranchlands are facing difficulties due to economics and land conversion, with over 1.6 million acres lost per year, 45% of which are converted to urban uses. Many current western ranchers are over 55 years old and prioritize tradition, values and family over profits from cattle production alone. The demographic changes in the west could impact future ranching.

How does a farm family in Malawi produce more from their farm
This document compares the typical farming practices of smallholder farmers in Malawi with sustainable intensification practices. Typically, farmers will intercrop just maize and beans on only 1/3 of their land, leaving 2/3 as fallow. This results in low yields due to poor soil quality and weed pressure. With sustainable intensification, farmers intercrop maize, beans, groundnuts and pigeon peas on their whole land. This improves soil fertility through nitrogen fixation and provides more crops for food and income. It allows farmers to produce more food while protecting the environment.
Cover Cropping Practices that Enhance Soil Fertility
This document discusses cover cropping practices and their impact on soil nutrient dynamics and fertility. It provides information on how cover crops can minimize nutrient losses from the soil and enhance nutrient cycling processes. Cover crops can uptake nutrients that would otherwise be lost, translocate nutrients from below the crop root zone, and fix nitrogen in the case of legumes. They also increase soil biological activity and populations of beneficial microbes like mycorrhizae. Choosing the right cover crop species is important for achieving specific objectives like grazing, nutrient scavenging, bio-drilling, or weed suppression. The document also notes both positive and negative potential effects of cover crops and strategies for optimizing their growth and nutrient contributions.

Quail Habitat Basics
This document discusses the habitat requirements of quail, including nesting habitat, brood rearing habitat, loafing and escape cover, roosting habitat, and feeding areas. Nesting habitat contains dense, upright native grasses with bare ground underneath for movement and food access. Brood rearing habitat is characterized by annual forbs and weeds with insects and bare ground. Loafing and escape cover provides dense, shrubby vegetation for protection from predators. Roosting habitat consists of open, herbaceous vegetation during mild weather and wooded areas during cold weather. Feeding areas require a diverse community of plants, insects, seeds and fruits with little ground debris.
10th Southern African Plant Breeding Symposium 2014
This document summarizes a study that evaluated single cross maize hybrids developed from drought tolerant donor lines from CIMMYT and elite inbred lines from Pannar. A 12x12 mating design was used to produce 71 experimental hybrids and 10 checks. The hybrids were evaluated under raingrown conditions at four sites in South Africa and Zimbabwe in the 2012/13 summer season. In the 2013 winter season, 110 hybrids were evaluated under managed drought stress in Zimbabwe. Results from the summer trials found genotypes with improved yield and performance compared to checks across all locations. Genotypes at two sites exposed to drought stress during flowering would have some level of drought tolerance. Results from the managed drought trials are also presented.

Business Model Innovation Workshop
The business model workshop is a 2-day learning experience about designing and implementing profitable growth engines. With today's fast moving business environment, organizations need a way to sense and respond to both threats and opportunities in a dynamic way. The business model workshop introduces participants to business model thinking and the methods/tools they need to maximize profitable growth. The business model workshop introduces a new tool called the Value Exchange Map, which works with the Business Model Canvas. Both together provide a kind of business model "stereo vision".
Value Exchange Mapping Guide
This guide introduces the Value Exchange Mapping System (VEM). The VEM works with the Business Model Canvas to provide a kind of "stereo vision" with respect to the business model. The VEM perspective is the logic of value exchanges within the value network. By contrast, the Business Model Canvas (BMC) perspective is the logical relationships among the nine build blocks. Together, the VEM and BMC give a more comprehensive view of the business model from the vantage point of an organization and the value network in which it operates. In concert with the business model canvas, Value Exchange Mapping is a useful tool for business model thinking and business model innovation.
This guide contains the download links for all the VEM icons - .png images, Omnigraffle and Visio stencils and templates (Creative Commons license)
The Value Exchange Mapping System is a product of collaborative research between academics at Georgia State University, companies, and consultants. The research was facilitated by the Institute of Strategic Innovation located in Atlanta, Georgia USA.

Fires & wolves yellowstone
- Yellowstone National Park was established in 1872 and covers 3,472 square miles across Wyoming, Montana and Idaho.
- In the late 1980s, a large wildfire burned over 790,000 acres in the park. This opened up the landscape and allowed new plant growth.
- Gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone between 1995-1997 after being extinct in the park for 70 years. Their reintroduction led to a trophic cascade that benefited various plant and animal species.
How to Restore Pronghorn
Christopher Gill argues that habitat decline, not overhunting or other factors, is the root cause of declining pronghorn populations. He asserts that removing livestock from rangelands has led to "over-rest" which is as harmful as overgrazing. Gill's ranch in West Texas has increased its pronghorn herd by employing holistic planned grazing with cattle, while surrounding herds declined 80%. He advocates restoring biodiversity by grazing domestic animals and wildlife together under attentive management, and calls for a congressional inquiry into current range management practices.

Center for Biological Diversity - Newsletter Fall 2010
The document summarizes the Center for Biological Diversity's work to protect and restore wolf populations in North America. It discusses how wolves once occupied a much larger range but were driven to near extinction, and how protections under the Endangered Species Act have allowed populations to increase again. However, wolves still occupy a small fraction of their historic range. The Center recently filed a petition calling for a national recovery plan to reestablish wolf populations across more of their suitable habitat. While wolves have seen some successes, political interference continues to threaten wolf protections and populations still face numerous risks. The Center will continue its legal and advocacy work on behalf of wolves.
Presentation2
The document discusses risks to the livestock-based livelihoods of the Borana people in southern Ethiopia due to climate change. It notes that the Borana rely heavily on cattle for their diet and livelihoods. However, climate change is causing increased drought conditions that are reducing rangeland quality and quantity, requiring larger herd sizes but also increasing herd mortality risks. The Borana have responded by increasing herd mobility and migration distances in search of pasture and water, but this places additional stress on cattle and risks exposing them to new diseases. Altering traditional migration patterns may help in the short term but not mitigate all climate change risks to the Borana's pastoralist livelihoods.

Spotted Owls English 10
The Northern Spotted Owl is endangered due to habitat loss from clear-cut logging of old-growth forests it prefers. Logging has reduced its population size in British Columbia to the point of being listed as endangered on the province's Red List. Efforts to help the owls include adopting one, writing letters advocating for wildlife protection, and learning how to be a voice for endangered species. The owls were first protected in 1990 after being threatened by almost a century of logging, and continue to be monitored to assess the impacts of habitat preservation efforts.

Threats to biodiversity
Habitat destruction, overexploitation, pollution, invasive species, and human overpopulation are major threats to biodiversity. Habitat loss is a key driver of extinction, especially the conversion of land to human uses. Overexploitation through overhunting and overfishing reduces populations unsustainably. Pollution harms ecosystems and coral reefs in particular. Invasive species outcompete native species. Finally, the global human population has more than doubled since 1950 to over 7 billion people, placing unsustainable demands on natural resources. Loss of keystone species can have outsized negative impacts on ecosystems.
Black-footed Ferret Poster
The black-footed ferret is an endangered species that historically ranged across prairie grasslands in North America. Its range and numbers declined dramatically due to habitat loss, poisoning of prairie dogs which are its primary food source, and diseases. Restoration efforts since the 1980s have established over 2,300 ferrets across 15 reintroduction sites through a captive breeding program, but the species remains endangered and dependent on the conservation of sufficient prairie dog habitat.
Meat apaza2002
This document summarizes a study on how meat prices influence wildlife consumption among Tsimane' Amerindians in Bolivia. The researchers conducted surveys of 510 households in 59 Tsimane' villages to investigate the relationship between the prices of game, fish, and livestock meat, and the consumption of these foods. The results indicated that higher prices of fish and livestock meat were positively correlated with increased consumption of wildlife. This suggests that reducing the prices of substitutes like fish and livestock could help reduce unsustainable hunting of wildlife for food.
Landscaping with Nature Brochure by Gioia Kuss
This document provides guidance on landscaping property to support nature conservation. It recommends developing a landscape plan that maps out existing vegetation and infrastructure, identifies soil and drainage areas, and considers creating rain gardens and succession areas. The Champlain Valley region was historically forested but is now only 30% forested in towns near Lake Champlain. The document recommends keeping and reforesting large forest blocks, allowing old fields to grow into forest, maintaining forest and stream buffers, and siting development to limit forest fragmentation.

Healthy soils
This document discusses principles of soil health and how soil functions. It explains that soil should manage energy flow from the sun, store and release water, and cycle nutrients. Soil health relies on a diverse community of organisms and having living roots in the ground as much as possible. Agricultural practices like tillage and overgrazing can disrupt these functions by destroying soil habitat and organisms. The document recommends managing for less soil disturbance, more plant diversity, keeping living roots, and keeping the soil covered to improve soil health.

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.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

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.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
