Draft Articles On the Law of Transboundary Aquifers
Professor Gabriel Eckstein presented on the current status and recent developments in international water law regarding transboundary groundwater. Groundwater is the most extracted natural resource in the world, with nearly half of humanity dependent on it. However, compared to transboundary surface waters, there are few agreements governing transboundary aquifers. The UN International Law Commission has drafted model rules on this, addressing utilization, protection, and cooperation between states sharing aquifers. States are still considering adopting these draft articles as a formal legal framework.

The panel focused on the roles and contributions of indigenous women in landscape forest management. Also, the experiences from REDD+ in Asia were shared, linking it with the land use of indigenous peoples.
Shifting cultivation
Shifting cultivation involves clearing and burning forest areas for temporary agriculture, leading to deforestation, erosion, desertification, and loss of biodiversity as forests are destroyed. However, it also benefits the environment by recycling nutrients into used land, improving sustainability, and providing organic pest management. The challenges are balancing these adverse impacts with the environmental benefits of the practice.
Slash and burn
Slash-and-burn agriculture involves cutting and burning forests to clear land for cultivation. It is used by 200-500 million people worldwide and involves little technology. Farmers cut vegetation, allow it to dry, then burn the land to remove pests and add nutrients before planting crops. While beneficial to small farmers by providing fertile land and multiple crops, slash-and-burn causes deforestation, erosion, nutrient loss and biodiversity loss if not given time to recover between burnings. Alternatives like crop rotation and agroforestry are encouraged to prevent environmental damage from this traditional practice.

Abstract: In this study, we monitored swidden cultivation and forest fallow management in a Khmu village in Laos. Monitoring was conducted between 2005 and 2015 and covered a full swidden cycle. Through GPS mapping, interviews with swidden farmers, and on-site observation, we examined the present state of swidden cultivation in the village. Swidden farming is found throughout the mountains of Laos; however, there is a current preference for the use of other land-use systems. The recent trends toward a market economy have forced the people and forests in the mountains of Laos to undergo various changes as they integrate into the world market. They have been impacted by the enclosure movement called the Land and Forest Allocation Program, the expansion of the cultivation of cash crops such as maize and Para rubber trees, and re-afforestation aimed at industrial wood resources. Here, we discuss the changes taking place in the relationship between the local people and their swidden cultivation system. We also examine the possibility of stabilizing swidden cultivation in the study areas to ensure a future in which the swidden farmers are able to live with a sense of security.

Unit 2 natural resources
- Natural resources are any stock or reserve that can be drawn from nature. They include air, water, forests, coal, minerals, soil and more.
- Resources are classified as renewable (can regenerate within a given time like forests) or non-renewable (cannot regenerate like coal).
- Forests are a key natural resource that provide timber, fuel, fruits, medicines and help regulate climate, soil and water resources. However, deforestation due to various factors threatens biodiversity and the environment.
Group 1 science project
Kaingin system refers to slash and burn agriculture where trees are burned in forests to clear land for cultivation. Farmers will cultivate the land until the soil is no longer productive, then move to another forest area and burn it again. Over time, as the land becomes more permanently settled and intensive farming techniques make burning unnecessary, the system evolves from kaingin to other terms like darohan in some local languages.

2013 Retreat: Keynote Guy Denny "Challenges in the Preserves"
This document discusses the history and importance of Ohio's natural areas and nature preserves program. It traces the program back to the early 1900s conservation movement and the establishment of the Natural Areas Act of 1970, which allowed the state to purchase and protect natural areas. Over the decades, the program grew to over 120 natural areas before budget cuts led to its dismantling in 2009. The document argues that nature preserves provide important benefits like preserving biodiversity, supporting education and research, attracting ecotourism, and potentially yielding new medical and industrial products. Overall, it presents a case for why properly funding and managing Ohio's nature preserves is important.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAU
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away
