The Everlasting Keystone XL Pipeline
The proposed Keystone XL pipeline has been debated for over 6 years. It would transport crude oil from Alberta, Canada to Nebraska. While it could provide economic benefits like jobs and tax revenue, there are also environmental concerns. The pipeline's route has changed to avoid sensitive areas, but there remain worries about potential spills and their impact on wildlife, water, and farmland. The issue has become politically divisive as well, with disagreement on whether the pipeline's potential increased oil supply and emissions contribute significantly to climate change. As oil prices have fallen in recent years, the need for the pipeline is less clear, but it remains an important symbol for both environmental protection and job creation that the president has not yet made a final decision

Wildlife: a forgotten and threatened forest resource
Protein from forest wildlife (including fish) is crucial to food security, nutrition and health across the tropics. The harvest of duikers, antelopes, pigs, primates, rodents, birds, reptiles and fish provides invaluable benefits to local people both in terms of income and of improved nutritious diets. It also creates, often linked with commercialization, some very important health issues with the spread of several life-threatening diseases (Ebola, SARS).
Vulnerability of the resource to harvest varies, with some species sustaining populations in heavily hunted secondary habitats, while others require intact forests with minimal harvesting to maintain healthy populations. Global attention has been drawn to biodiversity loss through debates regarding bushmeat, the “empty forest” syndrome and their ecological importance.
However, information on the harvest and the trade remains fragmentary, along with understanding of their ecological, socioeconomic and cultural dimensions. Here we assess the consequences, both for ecosystems and local livelihoods, of the loss of these important resources and propose alternative management options.
Camels and the Accuracy of the Bible
Recent reports about the time when domesticated camels first appeared in Israel, hundreds of years after they are mentioned in the Bible (with Abram in Genesis 12.16) are being used to attack the historical accuracy of the Bible. In this lesson we examine the claims that are made and present evidence of domesticated camels in both Egypt and Mesopotamia hundreds of years prior to Abraham. It’s reasonable to conclude that Abram could have had domesticated camels and that these attacks on the accuracy of the Bible are not valid.

4. determining age, growth and sex of fish and wildlife
This document discusses methods for determining age, growth, and sex in fish and wildlife. It describes how structures like scales, otoliths, and teeth can be used to estimate age by examining annual growth rings. Growth can be estimated by measuring structures at each age, tracking recaptured individuals over time, or back-calculating based on ring distances. Sex can be identified externally through morphology or coloration differences, or internally by examining gonads.

CeBIT Social Business Arena keynote - Strategic building blocks for your Dig...
Standing in fir Dion Hinchcliffe who was called away, this was the opening keynote in the CeBIT Social Business Arena. My idea was to do three things. First give the Agile Elephant view of the current complex and disruptive digital landscape. There is a wave of change affecting every business and some key issues to be understood that are driving the need for digital transformation in every industry, every style of business. I go through 20 years of a world gone digital and recommend 3 books to help make sense of where we are. Secondly present 8 strategic building blocks to enable transformation, with the emphasis on practical things you can do, and specific areas or factors that your organisation needs to address.
Lastly, leave you with a core message that is vital for the 21st century enterprise - and that is that you need to be in a state of continuous reinvention to make sure that some smarter, nimbler competitor doesn't make use of technology or new business models to take away your market.

Sustainable Water Supplies WS - Jen Schmitz
This document discusses water management challenges in the Jordan Lake watershed in North Carolina's Triangle region. Jordan Lake, which was dammed in the 1980s for flood control, has become the primary drinking water source for communities in the region. While subject to regulatory nutrient management rules since 2009, various challenges have impeded collaboration among stakeholders. The newly formed Jordan Lake One Water Association aims to facilitate holistic integrated water resource management through stakeholder engagement and development of an alternative framework to the existing regulatory approach. Upcoming revisions to the nutrient management rules present an opportunity for the association to influence policy through its collaborative efforts.
Presentation in NIAS
Central Water Commission is India's apex technical organization for water resources development. It advises the central and state governments on water resources planning and development projects. India has significant untapped hydropower potential but development has been hindered by various conflicts. Social conflicts arise from inadequate resettlement and compensation for displaced people. Environmental conflicts stem from disagreements over environmental flows in rivers downstream of dams. Strategies like participatory decision making, consensus on optimal environmental flows, and addressing livelihood impacts can help promote sustainable hydropower development.
Zippin_HCPs_Energy_Development_09-18-14
Habitat Conservation Plans (HCPs) can support energy development in the western US by providing long-term endangered species permits for projects covering large regions. HCPs allow for non-listed species coverage as a form of insurance and permit non-federal land and activities. Regional HCPs provide efficiency of conservation and cost. However, they require significant time and funding to complete and integrating federal lands and agencies can be challenging. With a focused geographic scope and realistic schedules, regional HCPs can facilitate energy development while addressing species protection if data sharing and long-term thinking are prioritized. Short-term alternatives like species mitigation frameworks or programmatic biological opinions may also help.

Moving a Town: The Story of Gays Mills
The village of Gays Mills, Wisconsin experienced devastating flooding in 2007 and 2008 that damaged over 30 homes. An ESF-14 team developed a long-term recovery plan that considered relocating parts of the town to safer areas. The plan led to two new residential sites and the ongoing relocation process has acquired over 30 homes for demolition. Federal and state funding from multiple agencies has provided $18 million for acquisitions, elevations, infrastructure at the new sites, and economic development. While relocation has faced challenges from community resistance, the process is ongoing and has created a new downtown area and residential neighborhoods outside of the floodplain.
Louisiana In-Lieu-Fee Wetland Mitigation Program Proposal
The document evaluates Louisiana's mitigation program and recommends improvements to better align it with the state's coastal master plan. It finds the current program over-relies on individual mitigation projects that are not sustainable and do not support integrated coastal protection. It recommends giving higher priority to mitigation banks and in-lieu fee programs if located strategically, and creating a state-operated in-lieu fee program to increase flexibility and support critical projects. Federal rules need adjusting to address Louisiana's unique coastal challenges.

Between the Gravel and the Sea: Vital Role of the Willamette River for Chinoo...Willamette River Initiative
The Willamette River plays a vital role for spring Chinook salmon, providing migration corridors and rearing habitat. However, dams block access to spawning rivers and the river was viewed primarily as a migration corridor rather than rearing habitat. In reality, juvenile Chinook display diverse life histories that involve dispersing throughout and rearing in the Willamette for months. This life history diversity helps the population withstand varying environmental conditions. Efforts are underway to restore complexity and habitat quality in the river to support the native salmon.More from Willamette River Initiative (20)
