Designating and Managing High Conservation Value Forests

This document discusses biodiversity conservation in the Mano River Union between Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia. It identifies five priority transboundary sites for collaborative management. However, there are operational constraints like limited funding and differences in policies. Research was conducted on chimpanzee populations in Guinea to inform decision making. Data was collected on species distributions and threats like hunting. While conservation is important, any management plans need to consider livelihood and demographic factors to find a balance between people and ecosystems. Evidence-based landscape approaches are recommended.

Conservation approach Fish Genetics and Resource Management (FiGR)

Ranjan Wagle

This document discusses strategies for conserving fish genetic resources and managing fisheries sustainably. It outlines a conservation model of evaluating existing conditions, planning interventions, and implementing conservation plans. Key reasons to conserve fish include their ecological importance and economic value as food and other products. Conservation approaches discussed include protecting habitats, restricting fishing practices, stock enhancement through aquaculture, and "twinning" aquaculture with conservation of fish genetic resources. The goal is to balance sustainable use of fisheries with conservation through integrated management of fish populations and their habitats.

Forest history and management

mikelink45

The original vegetation of Minnesota consisted of deciduous and coniferous forests. Early European exploration and logging followed the waterways, which were the primary means of travel. The large pine forests located between the Mississippi and St. Croix Rivers were heavily logged within 30 years in a non-sustainable manner. This led to catastrophic fires in 1871, 1894, and 1918 that destroyed millions of acres and killed thousands due to poor logging practices and a lack of seed sources to regenerate the forests. After the fires, sustainable forest management practices were implemented, including setting land aside and requiring forest management plans.

Climate change and their impact on silvicultural practices

Javed Iqbal Khan Khattak

The document discusses climate change impacts on Western Himalayan moist temperate forests of Pakistan. It notes that temperature has increased 2-5°C over the past few decades, precipitation is more uncertain, and wind and snow damage have risen 15-20%. This affects natural regeneration, vulnerability to disturbance, and shifts the forests' ecological zonation. Silvicultural practices need to adapt to reduce damage and protect the forests for future generations.

Forests, trees and agroforestry: What role in food security and nutrition?

This presentation by Terrry Sunderland was given at a session titled "New findings on the dynamics between forests, land use and food security" at the Global Landscapes Forum in Lima, Peru, on December 7, 2014. The session discussed direct and indirect roles of forests and trees in food systems, the importance of food production systems across the forest-agriculture continuum for food security, dietary diversity and nutrition, and the ensuing implications for land use. The social, economic and environmental synergies and trade-offs between forests and food security and related management interventions, as well as relevant response options will also be discussed. The debate also touched upon questions of sustainable land use under a post-Kyoto climate agreement.

Superfoods from the forest

Derek Berliner

This presentation describes a study to identify plants and plant parts that show potential as sustainable harvested ‘super-foods’. This included both wild foods traditionally used in Southern Africa (with a focus on the communal areas of the Wild Coast, Eastern Cape South Africa), as well as potential foods not traditionally used , but with high nutritional values. The methods used included development of a data base of wild food utilized in Southern Africa, with a focus on the communal areas of the Eastern Cape (literature review and personal observations); collation of available nutritional data (macro and micro nutrients) into a database for wild food plants for southern Africa. To assist in ranking nutritional values, two nutritional indices were used: the % Complete Food Index and the Nutritional Density Index). This report develops a definition of a ‘superfoods’ based on number of criteria. Species that have been successfully commercialized, marketed as nutritional supplements, and that provide direct benefits to communities, such as Maroela and Baobab, serve as role models for the development of wild foods enterprises in the communal areas of the Wild Coast The results of this study show that there are a significant number of wild food plants have exceptionally high nutritional profiles and could qualify as a ‘super-food’. Food plants were grouped according to the plant part used, these included: wild leafy vegetables, fruits, and seeds and nuts.The wild leafy vegetables, commonly known as ‘wild spinach’,are cosmopolitan weeds that have been part of the traditional diets of many Africans. Of these, a number of Amaranth species have been identified that fit the nutritional profile of a ‘super-food’. Commonly used wild foods are often tree fruits, this study identifiedthe following wild fruits as having high potential for commercial harvesting, these include:Wild plum (Harpephyllum caffrum), two Red- milkwoods, (Mimisops Cafra and M. obvata), Num-num (Carissa Macrocarpa), Dune myrtle (Eugenia Capensis) and two Kei Apples (Dovyalis caffra, and D. rhamnoides. The third category of wild foods considered are seeds and nuts: trees identified for this group included the pods of Boer-bean trees (Schotia afra, and S. brachypetala),andthe valuable oils of the Natal and forest mahogany (Trichilia emetica, and T. dregiana) as well as the high oleic oil contained in the Coastal Red-milkwood (Mimusops caffra).

The participatory management plan is a technical, legal and social device that joins the objectives of biodiversity conservation and the socio-economic needs of local populations. This research work aims to evaluate the impact of Wari-Maro classified forest management plan implementation on the structure and specific diversity of vegetation types. The methodological approach followed is based on the comparison of the dendrometric parameters and plant diversity parameters before and after the management plan implementation. The phytosociological and dendrometric database before the management plan was compiled with data from the forest inventory conducted by PAMF project in 2004 and others work. The forest and phytosociological inventories were carried out on the plots (70) from the forest inventory of PAMF project (2004) following the same methodological principles. The Shannon diversity index decreased from 3.35 ± 0.57 bits in 2004 to 1.98 ± 0.73 bits in 2014. The average density of dbh trees ≥ 10 cm decreased from 740.37 ± 269 , 86 stems / ha in 2004 to 184 ± 100 stems / ha in 2014. The results of the 5% sample matched t-test reveal a non-significant difference between the Shannon Diversity Index of 2004 and of 2014. On the other hand, the results of the sample t-test matched at the 5% threshold, reveal a significant difference between the average density value of 2004 and 2014 for all vegetation types except shrub savannas, fields and fallows. Most of the plant species found before the management plan are still present despite the decreased in individuals’ density.

Laura Felone

This document summarizes and compares forest management practices across five Northeastern states. It finds that the states employ diverse strategies for issues like timber theft, harvest forms, and trip tickets. Four states prosecute timber theft in both civil and criminal courts. States also have individualized systems for tree harvest on public and private lands, requiring different permits and forms. Only Maine mandates trip tickets to track wood transport. Overall, the document examines the varied approaches the states take to maintain their forests.

Forest management plan

Javed Iqbal Khan Khattak

This document outlines Javed Iqbal's proposed revisions to the format of forest management plans (working plans) in Pakistan. It discusses the shortcomings of the traditional two-part format, which lacks justification for objectives and alternatives. The proposed new format has three parts: Part I describes the forest area and existing conditions. Part II evaluates alternative objectives, species, silvicultural systems, and other choices. Part III prescribes the management plan, including working circles, programs, protection, utilization, infrastructure, administration, records, and finances.

Forest management

Chirag Pipalia

Forest management involves the administrative, economic, legal, and social aspects of managing forests, including techniques like timber extraction, replanting species, and preventing fires. Forest management is needed to avoid the extinction of thousands of species, heavy soil erosion, increased greenhouse effects, flooding, landslides, and degraded watersheds. Methods of forest management include afforestation, reforestation, sustainable forest management practices, and avoiding wildfires. The document concludes that one of the biggest challenges is ensuring the sustainability of forest resources going forward.

The Dynamics of Forests, Livelihoods and Poverty Alleviation Relationships – ...

IFPRIMaSSP

Forests play very critical roles in Malawi. Over 90% of the country’s energy requirements are fuelwood-based. However, Malawi, like most Sub-Saharan African countries, presents a case of policy dilemma in sustainable forest management. With its growing population and the resultant contraction of per capita land area, coupled with the ever increasing fuelwood demand, the challenge is to sustainably manage the forests without alienating the majority of rural communities whose livelihoods heavily depend on the forests. There is therefore need to fully understand the forest-reliant people if the goal of sustainable forest management is to be achieved. The aim of this desk study is to characterize the forest-livelihoods-poverty alleviation links and their impact on households’ choice of livelihood strategies. By synthesizing relevant theoretical and empirical literature, the study demonstrates that the links between poverty and forests are complex. For example, while there is evidence that it is the poor that rely more on forests, the reverse causality, though rare in literature, is also possible, i.e. forest reliance can act as a poverty trap. Understanding the livelihood status of forest-reliant households is therefore a necessary condition to sustainably manage the forests in particular and other environmental resources in general.

Wildlife and biodiversity are important for ecosystem sustainability. Higher biodiversity leads to more sustainable ecosystems that can withstand external stresses, as it supports greater genetic variety and natural processes. Sustainable wildlife management involves balancing human and wildlife needs. It is important for providing resources, economic benefits, and ecological functions like pollination and seed dispersal. However, species and habitat loss due to human overexploitation and activities like deforestation threaten sustainability. Ensuring sustainable trade, consumption, and land use through techniques like planning and public education can help address these issues and promote long-term wildlife survival.

Assessing Reef Health Using a Low Altitude Sensing Platform

This document discusses using low-altitude aerial surveys with unmanned aerial vehicles to assess coral reef health in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. The goals are to develop a cheap, fast, and spatially accurate technique to survey entire reef areas at a high resolution. Test flights with a DJI Phantom 2 drone captured imagery over 1500 square meters that was processed into orthomosaics and used texture/color models to classify and map coral species, bleaching, and health. This could create a reef atlas for Kaneohe Bay, inform management, and increase understanding of reef dynamics by providing long-term monitoring at various spatial scales.

Hawaii DOT Monitoring Stations Versus National Performance Measurement Resear...

This presentation compares speed data from Hawaii DOT monitoring stations to the National Performance Measurement Research Data Set (NPMRDS) probe data. It finds that the two data sources match fairly well overall but that finer-grained Hawaii DOT data is needed for detailed analysis. The presentation demonstrates how to link NPMRDS travel time data to road network maps using open-source tools and provides examples of mapping and animating travel times using this data to estimate the impacts of traffic events. It concludes that the NPMRDS and Hawaii DOT data can both be used to analyze traffic conditions when combined with open-source spatial analysis tools.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...

Joshua Orris

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.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...

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.
