Maria Ölund - Forests, Landscapes and Food Security

Biodiversity represents the genetic diversity within and between species and ecosystems. It provides benefits to human beings through resources like new medicines and ecosystem services worth trillions of dollars. However, biodiversity is under threat from factors like climate change, habitat loss, and pollution. The 2020 UN Biodiversity Conference aims to adopt a new 30-year plan for conservation and sustainable use of nature. The Hindu Kush Himalayan region contains four global biodiversity hotspots but its biodiversity is projected to plummet by 2100 due to threats. Biosphere reserves aim to foster sustainable development through zoning of core, buffer and transition areas.

community based natural resource management

Dr Rajeev Kumar

Community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) is a systematic approach that allows local communities closest to natural resources to manage those resources and benefit from their management and use. It aims to achieve conservation and community development objectives through sustainably managing natural resources. Some methods to build community participation include house visits, group meetings, health camps, and participatory rural appraisal exercises. Successful CBNRM requires communities be homogeneous, benefits outweigh costs, boundaries are clearly defined, decision-making is decentralized, and long-term engagement exists.

Good practices: Livestock production with minimal use of antibiotics

The document discusses Sweden's transition away from the use of antibiotics in livestock production. In 1984, the Federation of Swedish Farmers proposed working to reduce antibiotic use as growth promoters, believing it would give farmers a competitive advantage. This initiated a transition where farmers improved animal welfare and management practices to reduce disease and reliance on antibiotics. As a result of these efforts, Swedish livestock now have low disease incidence, low antibiotic use, and good growth without the use of antibiotics as growth promoters.

This document explores approaches to reconcile different forest land use practices. It discusses how forest conflicts are increasing due to more values and actors associated with forests at multiple levels of governance. Forest policy is often fragmented with no clear direction and multiple objectives without mechanisms for trade-offs. The document outlines visions for forest land use from four actor groups and compares six scientific approaches to forest management - ecosystem management, resilience thinking, socio-ecological systems, ecosystem services valuation, reflexive governance, and adaptive management. It concludes by identifying keys to reconciling forest land use as identifying purposes and values, involving actors, managing change, and using tailored methods.

Silviculture and its diverse applications.pdf

jyotishmangohain471

Join us as we delve into the fascinating world of silviculture and its diverse applications! Silviculture, the art and science of controlling the establishment, growth, composition, health, and quality of forests, plays a pivotal role in sustainable forest management. It's not just about timber production; silviculture has a myriad of applications that touch various aspects of our lives. In this seminar, we'll explore how silviculture contributes to biodiversity conservation. By creating diverse habitats and promoting native species, silviculture helps maintain and enhance biodiversity. We'll discuss techniques like selective cutting and shelterwood systems, which aim to mimic natural disturbances and promote a healthy, diverse forest ecosystem. We'll also delve into the role of silviculture in carbon sequestration. Forests are vital carbon sinks, and through careful management, we can maximize their potential in mitigating climate change. We'll explore practices like afforestation, reforestation, and improved forest management, which can significantly increase carbon storage. Another key topic will be the use of silviculture in restoring degraded landscapes. Through techniques like assisted natural regeneration and enrichment planting, silviculture can help rehabilitate degraded forests and landscapes, bringing back their ecological functionality and providing benefits for local communities. Furthermore, we'll discuss how silviculture supports livelihoods and contributes to rural development. From timber and non-timber forest products to ecotourism opportunities, silviculture can generate income and support sustainable livelihoods for local communities. This seminar is not just for forestry professionals or students, but for anyone interested in forests, conservation, and sustainable development. It's an opportunity to learn, to question, and to contribute to an important discussion on how we manage our forests for the benefit of people and the planet. Join us in this journey through the world of silviculture, and let's explore together how we can harness its potential for a sustainable future.

Chickens and cows do not use toilets: What can we do about it?

This document summarizes a workshop that was held to discuss synergies between water, sanitation, hygiene (WaSH) and One Health approaches, with a focus on livestock husbandry and animal excreta. The workshop aimed to identify potential interventions for controlling animals, protecting humans, and managing excreta. It also discussed gaps in policy, practice, and research. Presentations were given on the links between WaSH and One Health, and on complementary sanitation measures that could benefit both animal and human health by reducing pathogen transmission. The workshop concluded by discussing next steps such as engaging with One Health networks and identifying research gaps that could be addressed in future funding proposals.

The animal husbandry perspective: Managing animals and their excreta in low- ...

1. Livestock are an important source of food for billions of people globally, especially in developing countries, but they also contribute to disease transmission. 2. Keeping livestock in close proximity to humans can spread zoonotic diseases through animal excreta. Many pathogens from livestock waste can infect and sicken humans. 3. Rapid urbanization is increasing demands for animal-sourced food but also contributes to disease risks as livestock and waste management in crowded urban areas spreads contamination. Proper sanitation and hygiene is needed to reduce health risks from urban livestock.

Importance of safe recycling of animal and human excreta

The document discusses the importance of safely recycling animal and human excreta. It notes that current linear systems can pollute the environment with pathogens, nutrients, and debris through water transport. Instead, it advocates for a circular economy approach where excreta is collected, treated to remove pathogens, and reused as resources like fertilizer. This closes nutrient and resource loops while protecting human, animal, and environmental health.

Mass Production of Trichogramma sp..pptx

SwastikBhattacharjya

Trichogramma spp. is an efficient egg parasitoids that potentially assist to manage the insect-pests from the field condition by parasiting the host eggs. To mass culture this egg parasitoids effectively, we need to culture another stored grain pest- Rice Meal Moth (Corcyra Cephalonica). After rearing this pest, the eggs of Corcyra will carry the potential Trichogramma spp., which is an Hymenopteran Wasp. The detailed Methodologies of rearing both Corcyra Cephalonica and Trichogramma spp. have described on this ppt.

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.

Joshua Orris

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.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...

Open Access Research Paper

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.

Monitor indicators of genetic diversity from space using Earth Observation data

Spatial Genetics

Genetic diversity within and among populations is essential for species persistence. While targets and indicators for genetic diversity are captured in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, assessing genetic diversity across many species at national and regional scales remains challenging. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) need accessible tools for reliable and efficient monitoring at relevant scales. Here, we describe how Earth Observation satellites (EO) make essential contributions to enable, accelerate, and improve genetic diversity monitoring and preservation. Specifically, we introduce a workflow integrating EO into existing genetic diversity monitoring strategies and present a set of examples where EO data is or can be integrated to improve assessment, monitoring, and conservation. We describe how available EO data can be integrated in innovative ways to support calculation of the genetic diversity indicators of the GBF monitoring framework and to inform management and monitoring decisions, especially in areas with limited research infrastructure or access. We also describe novel, integrative approaches to improve the indicators that can be implemented with the coming generation of EO data, and new capabilities that will provide unprecedented detail to characterize the changes to Earth’s surface and their implications for biodiversity, on a global scale.
