Cherished landscapes
Landscapes are protected in the UK through various statutory and voluntary organizations. Government agencies designate and protect sites of special scientific interest and manage national parks and areas of outstanding natural beauty. Private organizations also play a role in landscape protection, such as the National Trust which owns and protects historic landscapes. While laws aim to conserve natural beauty and cultural heritage, any protection can be overridden by future legislation.

Sustainability practices in natural parks
Natural parks are landscapes protected for long-term conservation and tourism. In the Philippines, the DENR is responsible for conserving natural resources, including areas within natural parks. The Philippines has many natural parks preserving its natural wonders. Laws like the NIPAS Act establish and manage the protected areas system. Sustainability of natural parks aims to conserve resources for future generations. The government enacts laws while tourists can help by following guidelines to minimize environmental impacts and engage in responsible tourism. Best practices for sustainable natural park management involve local participation, developing products based on strengths, targeting proper markets, and using guidelines.

This document discusses landscape-scale conservation and the role of protected areas. It notes that climate change will increase pressure on biodiversity, so protected areas need to be more resilient and help species adapt. Protected areas will remain crucial for conservation by providing refuges for moving species. Landscape-scale conservation should use protected areas as anchors and work to increase habitat diversity, reverse fragmentation, and boost connectivity in surrounding areas. The legal framework of EU directives supports both site-based and broader landscape conservation efforts.

This document discusses biodiversity offsetting as a way to compensate for environmental impacts from development. It proposes establishing a market for conservation credits where developers can purchase credits from protected area receptor sites to offset residual impacts. This would allow for biodiversity gains through funding management of protected areas. Metrics and monitoring systems would be needed to establish conservation credits and assess development impacts and habitat gains. Establishing these biodiversity offsetting programs could generate significant funding for protected areas on a national scale.

The document summarizes the history and development of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in UK waters over the past 30 years. It discusses the evolution from individual sites in the 1980s and 1990s to developing networks of protected areas. The UK now has 96 Special Areas of Conservation designating 5.6% of UK seas, and new Marine Conservation Zones and national MPAs have been designated since 2013. Management of MPAs is challenging and often contentious due to pressures from fisheries. While progress has been made in scale, the designated areas may have limited effectiveness due to industry lobbying and complex feature-based management approaches.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

- 1. Protected area categories and the National Trust Simon Pryor Natural Environment Director
- 2. Outline • National Trust’s purpose and assets • What types of land and habitats do we protect? • Categories of protected areas on the NT estate • ‘Inalienability’ • Some questions about categories • Applying Protected Area concept strategically • Thinking ‘Beyond our boundaries’
- 3. The National Trust • Established by statute over 100 years ago • England, Wales and N Ireland • 100m visits, 4m members, 55,000 volunteers • Core purpose: “To protect places of historic interest and natural beauty, permanently and for the benefit of the nation”
- 4. Habitats important for the Trust
- 5. Areas we protect for the nation 255,000 ha of land 710 miles of coastline Around 80% is farmed 60% is tenanted The large majority is ‘inalienable’ Whole landscapes & catchments
- 6. National Trust land and National Parks 49% of NT land is in a National Park 7.6% of land in NPAs is owned by National Trust
- 7. SSSIs on NT estate (% of national total area) 97,000 ha of SSSI (7%) 74,900 ha of SACs (5%) 36,500 ha of SPAs (4%) 11,800 ha of NNRs (9%) 14,500 ha Ramsar sites (3%)
- 8. NT Ownership and protection in Dovedale
- 9. Inalienable land Once declared ‘inalienable’ the property (land or building) cannot be sold, given away or mortgaged Nor compulsorily purchased against the Trust’s wishes without special permission from Parliament But can be leased, altered and even built on Only declared ‘after sober reflection’ Cannot be reversed or adjusted ‘Inalienable’ not defined in the legislation Not used ‘tactically’ to protect areas under threat Presumption that most land acquired will be declared. Providing it is of ‘inalienable quality’ Current exercise to produce a definitive digital map
- 10. Questions re protected areas on the NT estate 1. Do some of our sites qualify as Category 1a? 2. Should some of the larger scale properties, and Heritage Coast, qualify as Category II ‘National Parks’? 3. Should veteran trees be treated as Category III ‘Natural Monuments’? 4. What proportion of NT land qualifies as Category IV v. Category V? 5. Should managed ancient or semi-natural woodlands qualify as Category IV?
- 11. Some ‘strategic thoughts’ on protected areas • Does all tenanted farmland qualify? • What do the different types of designation add? • Risk based protection and the red tape challenge • Protection through public concern (forests and NPPF) • Other categorisations of countryside sites A different categorisation of sites for nature: • Wow! • Fascinating • Lovely • Important
- 12. Thinking ‘Beyond our boundaries’ • What should our acquisition policy be? – Should we take on publicly owned land that is in jeopardy? – Should we not take on sites with legal protection? • Should we be making more of the Trust’s inalienable land protection? • Can we help others protect other special sites or concentrate on the ones we own?
- 13. Summary • National Trust’s particular role in protecting whole landscapes • Categorisation and bench marking of the protection we provide is useful - but not straightforward • Can we make more use of the ‘inalienability’ tool? • Working more ‘beyond our boundaries’ • People valuing nature is the highest form of protection
