Risk assessment for species extinction involves estimating the probability of a species becoming extinct based on data like habitat reduction percentages or lack of specimen collection. The precautionary principle is applied when risks are uncertain and involves preventative action, public participation, and alternative exploration. Population viability analysis (PVA) links management decisions to population trends and extinction risk, considering factors like demographics and habitat. International agreements like the Convention on Biological Diversity, CITES, RAMSAR, and JAMBA/CAMBA aim to protect biodiversity through cooperation, permitting, and prohibiting trade of endangered species.
conservation of natural resources in their natural habitat known as in-situ conservation. natural resources includes living organism (plants,animals),forest ,wetlands, ocean, rivers etc.

Protected areas are those in which human occupation or at least the exploitation of resources is limited.
The definition that has been widely accepted across regional and global frameworks has been provided by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in its categorization guidelines for protected areas.
There are several kinds of protected areas, which vary by level of protection depending on the enabling laws of each country or the regulations of the international organizations involved.
The term "protected area" also includes
Marine Protected Areas, the boundaries of which will include some area of ocean, and
Trans boundary Protected Areas that overlap multiple countries which remove the borders inside the area for conservation and economic purposes.
Wildlife management techniques and methods of wildlife conservationAnish Gawande
Wildlife Conservation is the practice of protecting wild plant and animal species and their habitat. Wildlife plays an important role in balancing the environment and provides stability to different natural processes of nature. The goal of wildlife conservation is to ensure that nature will be around for future generations to enjoy and also to recognize the importance of wildlife and wilderness for humans and other species alike. Many nations have government agencies and NGO's dedicated to wildlife conservation, which help to implement policies designed to protect wildlife. Numerous independent non-profit organizations also promote various wildlife conservation causes.
Wildlife conservation has become an increasingly important practice due to the negative effects of human activity on wildlife. An endangered species is defined as a population of a living species that is in the danger of becoming extinct because the species has a very low or falling population, or because they are threatened by the varying environmental or prepositional parameters.
IUCN is a globally important organisation for the conservation of nature and its resources. It is well known for Red data book. the species of organisms around the globe is grouped into several categories according to their need for conservation.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
2. Risk Assessment Risk assessment involves using data to estimate the probability of a harmful event occurring – in this case the probability of a species becoming extinct. One approach uses island biogeography models and bases it’s estimations on the % reduction in habitat. Another approach makes use of museum collections – if a specimen has not been collected for 50 years, it may be presumed extinct. Has been applied to the Leadbeater’s possum.

4. Leadbeater's Possum (Gymnobelideusleadbeateri) is an endangered possum restricted to small pockets of remaining old growth mountain ash forests in the central highlands of Victoria (Australia) north-east of Melbourne. Leadbeater's Possums can be moderately common within the very small areas they inhabit: their requirement for year-round food supplies and tree-holes to take refuge in during the day restricts them to mixed-age wet sclerophyll forest with a dense mid-story of Acacia.
5. Population Viability Analysis PVA is a technique that assists with risk management in conservation biology. It is a tool that enables users to examine how management decisions can affect population numbers and the rate of extinction. PVA has been used with the Eastern Barred Bandicoot and Leadbeater’s Possum. PVA is used because it links planning, research and data collection, assessment of vulnerability and the ranking of management options. A PVA includes: Ecosystems: Habitat type and availability. Breeding and longevity: Birth and death rates. Demographics; age structure of populations. External influences: weather events.
6. Eastern Barred bandicoot – Peramelesgunnii - was once distributed across the Basalt Plains of south west Victoria, and in Tasmania.It is a small, rabbit sized marsupial weighing less than 1 kg with a short tail and three to four whitish bars across the rump.
7. Convention on Biological Diversity Signed by 150 government leaders at the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, the Convention on Biological Diversity is dedicated to promoting sustainable development. Conceived as a practical tool for translating the principles of Agenda 21 into reality, the Convention recognizes that biological diversity is about more than plants, animals and micro organisms and their ecosystems – it is about people and our need for food security, medicines, fresh air and water, shelter, and a clean and healthy environment in which to live. http://www.cbd.int/convention/
8. Convention on Biological Diversity Australia's first national biodiversity strategy, the National Strategy for the Conservation of Australia's Biological Diversity, was prepared by the Australian and New Zealand Environment and Conservation Council (ANZECC) and endorsed by the Council of Australian Governments in 1996. The strategy fulfills Australia's obligations under the international Convention on Biological Diversity. http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/publications/strategy/index.html
9. World Heritage Sites World heritage sites are places that are important to and belong to everyone, irrespective of where they are located. They have universal value that transcends the value they hold for a particular nation. These qualities are expressed in the Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage (the World Heritage Convention). The World Heritage Convention aims to promote cooperation among nations to protect heritage from around the world that is of such outstanding universal value that its conservation is important for current and future generations. http://www.environment.gov.au/heritage/about/world/index.html

12. CITES “Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora” is administered by the United Nations. By restricting commercial exploitation, endangered species may be protected by permits, licensing and prohibitions. Not all nations are signatories Illegal trading, poaching and smuggling continues in may countries. CITES allows exemptions for genuine scientific research.
13.
14. CITES - Australia We have strict border controls, preventing the importation of souvenirs made from endangered species (eg rhino horn, ivory, turtle shell, feathered head-dresses). We also aim to prevent the export of native flora and fauna, such as birds and reptiles (except with overseas zoos.)
15.
16. RAMSAR 1983 Ramsar Convention, to which Australia is a signatory, aims to protect migratory birds, especially in wetland habitats, throughout their range at both ends of their route. There are 10 designated areas in Victoria, including parts of Port Phillip Bay, Barmah Forest, Gippsland Lakes and the Western District lakes.
17. JAMBA and CAMBA The “Japan –Australia Migratory Birds Agreement” and the “China-Australia Migratory Birds Agreement”. http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/migratory/waterbirds/bilateral.html
18. State Strategy The conservation and control measures within the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act (1988) describe the means in which biodiversity is protected by the Act. These include: the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Strategy; the listing of threatened taxa or communities of flora or fauna, or potentially threatening processes; the preparation of Action Statements and Critical Habitat Determinations for these listed taxa, communities or processes; the preparation of Management Plans and Public Authority Management Agreements for these listed taxa, communities or processes; the making of Interim Conservation Orders (“ICOs”) to conserve the critical habitats of taxa or communities listed or nominated for listing; and permits, fines and controls about the handling of protected flora and listed fish.
19. Actions for Biodiversity Conservation Biodiversity conservation is often limited by funding actions have to prioritise actions to assist species conservation. Vitally important in the short term. Important long term action Least important Data collection for monitoring programs Education programs How do you rate this in terms of importance for the Orange-bellied Parrot?
