This document provides information on gardening and habitat restoration with native wildlife species in mind. It discusses key habitats and species for the Willamette Valley ecoregion of Oregon, threats they face like invasive species and land use changes, and recommended conservation actions. These include maintaining existing oak woodlands, controlling invasive plants, and restoring habitat elements like native plants, snags, and downed logs to provide food, cover, and other needs for native species. The document cautions that habitat work should avoid creating ecological traps or supporting invasive or undesirable species, and encourages maintaining wildlife's natural behaviors.
Habitat characteristics and bird species richness relationships within five s...Nicola snow
- The study examined relationships between bird species richness, habitat characteristics, and endemic bird species across 5 sites on Tenerife.
- Results showed bird species richness was positively correlated with plant species richness and biomass. Endemic bird species were positively correlated with overall bird species richness and biomass.
- The laurel forest had the highest bird species count but lowest endemic species count. The scrubland had the highest total species richness and endemic species.
Here are the key findings from the cross-tabulation analysis:
- 66.5% of total respondents are not at all familiar with the Knoxville Visitors Center
- 16% are slightly familiar
- Of those not at all familiar, 44.7% were between ages 18-35
- Younger respondents aged 18-35 showed the highest level of unfamiliarity with the Visitors Center
This implies that Visit Knoxville needs to focus marketing efforts on reaching younger audiences, particularly those aged 18-35, as familiarity is quite low within that demographic currently. Increased outreach and promotion targeting millennials could help boost awareness of what the Visitors Center has to offer.
This document discusses four main types of pollution: air, water, noise, and waste. It provides details on each type of pollution, including causes and effects. Air pollution modifies the atmosphere and depletes ozone, threatening health and ecosystems. Water pollution adversely impacts water bodies through human activities like trash and chemical dumping. Noise pollution disrupts life through unwanted sounds from vehicles and other machines. Waste pollution creates unwanted rubbish from various household and industrial sources that endangers health and the environment if mismanaged. In summary, the document outlines four major types of pollution caused by human activities and their negative impacts on both the environment and human well-being.

This document summarizes the challenges of maintaining high conservation values in oil palm plantations in Indonesia. It discusses three main challenges: 1) The lack of legal recognition for maintaining HCV areas, as land set aside for conservation is often considered unproductive and reallocated. 2) HCV areas being lost when location permits are revised and reduced in size. 3) Legal requirements for companies to develop 20% of their land for smallholder schemes, reducing the land available for HCV protection. Overcoming these challenges requires changes to Indonesian law to better protect HCV areas on private lands.

Manila, Philippines was hit with devastating monsoon rains on August 7, 2012 that flooded major parts of the city, bringing traffic to a standstill and forcing governments, schools, and businesses to close for days.
Doug Tallamy's book Bringing Nature Home argues that increasing biodiversity in residential landscapes is important to support wildlife. Tallamy notes that most insects can only eat plant species closely related to those they evolved with. As a result, non-native plants support far fewer insect species compared to native plants. Tallamy advocates increasing the amount and diversity of native plant species in yards and neighborhoods to provide more food and habitat for birds, insects and other wildlife.

This document discusses developing conservation strategies for the chough population on Islay, Scotland. It summarizes that (1) providing nest sites near good feeding areas helped increase the chough population in the 1980s. (2) Dung insects are an important food source for choughs, but avermectin treatments used to control parasites in livestock can negatively impact invertebrate communities and chough populations. (3) High nestling mortality and low post-fledging survival have been major bottlenecks, with a focus on improving survival in sand dune and silage aftermath feeding areas through more diverse sward structures.
Biodiversity knows no political boundaries and its conservation is therefore a collective responsibility of all nations. The historic Convention on Biological Diversity (‘The Earth Summit’) held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, called upon all nations to take appropriate measures for conservation of biodiversity and sustainable utilisation of its benefits. In a follow-up, the World Summit on Sustainable Development held in 2002 in Johannesburg, South Africa, 190 countries pledged their commitment to achieve by 2010, a significant reduction in the current rate of biodiversity loss at global, regional and local levels
Constraints to Continuous Cover Forestry in IrelandMorgan Roche
This document discusses the constraints to practicing continuous cover forestry (CCF) in Ireland. CCF aims to maintain a continuous forest canopy. Constraints include the physical environment like exposure to storms, which have greater consequences for plantations than CCF forests. Biotic factors are also a constraint as many useful species for CCF are not native to Ireland. The economic environment has constrained CCF as the initial return on investment is delayed, though CCF is ultimately more economically viable. Social factors like a limited forestry tradition and lack of public understanding have also constrained CCF adoption. A lack of experience with and expertise in CCF management in Ireland is a major constraint.
Biodiversity and sustainable development are interdependent. Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth at genetic, species, and ecosystem levels. It is being lost at an unprecedented rate due to factors like poverty, population growth, poor agricultural practices, pollution, and energy crises. Key threats in Tanzania include ecological isolation of protected areas, habitat fragmentation, unsustainable food and timber production, and invasion by exotic species. Conservation efforts aim to protect biodiversity hotspots with high numbers of endemic and threatened species through establishing protected areas and alternative livelihood programs.
Biodiversity refers to the variety of living organisms on Earth, including genetic diversity, species diversity, and ecosystem diversity. It is being threatened by habitat loss, pollution, and overexploitation of species. Key biodiversity hotspots that face serious threats are the Western Ghats and Eastern Himalayas in India. Conservation efforts include protected areas like national parks and sanctuaries for in situ conservation and ex situ conservation in zoos and seed banks.
This document discusses securing sustainable ecosystem services within oil palm landscapes. It begins by looking at the components of biodiversity and how biodiversity relates to ecosystem services. Examples are then provided from oil palm plantations of how changes in biodiversity can affect services like biological control, pollination, dung removal, and decomposition. The final section discusses approaches for sustaining services, such as enhancing complexity in the landscape to preserve species interactions, and using adaptive management. Key collaborators on this work are also acknowledged.
bird and mammal biodiversity SW Ethiopia, Patricia, Jimma 2018joernfischer
This document summarizes research on bird and mammal diversity in forest and farmland landscapes in southwestern Ethiopia. 150 sampling points were used to survey 129 bird species, with forests containing 76 species and farmland containing 113 species. Common bird species were found across forest and farmland. A major study using 96 camera sites over 10955 days recorded 33 mammal species in forest interiors, including primates, carnivores, and ungulates. Despite location, species known to cause human-wildlife conflicts were always present at forest edges. The research highlights the importance of both forest and farmland diversity for biodiversity conservation and that traditional coffee management benefits bird communities while undisturbed forests are necessary for sensitive species

The importance of biodiversity conservation is emphasized for maintaining ecosystem
Role of Arthropods in Maintaining Soil FertilityDaisy Capon
This document discusses soil animals and their roles in soil fertility. It notes that soil contains over 100 million bacterial cells and 11,000 bacterial species per gram. Arthropods make up a large portion of the mesofauna and macrofauna in soil. They play important roles in decomposing plant litter, fragmenting it, and mixing nutrients into the soil through their waste. Their activities are important for nutrient cycling, mineralization of elements, soil structure development, and pore and void formation. Ants and termites are particularly important as they can process large amounts of plant biomass and alter soil properties.
This document discusses biodiversity and the threats it faces. It defines biodiversity as the variety of life on Earth, including diversity of genes, species, and ecosystems. The three main threats are habitat destruction, pollution, and species introductions. Deforestation is a major driver of habitat loss and occurs for reasons like agriculture, logging, and cattle ranching. Deforestation leads to habitat fragmentation and isolation of species. At least 100,000 plant and animal species have been lost in recent decades. Conservation goals aim to protect biodiversity for its benefits to humankind.
Biodiversity refers to the variety of living organisms from different sources like terrestrial and marine ecosystems. It exists at genetic, species, and ecosystem levels. Biodiversity is important for consumptive uses like medicine, food, and fuel. It also has productive uses in commercial products, social and ethical values in culture and religion, and aesthetic and optional values. Conservation efforts aim to protect biodiversity in natural habitats through protected areas and national parks (in-situ) as well as zoos, seed banks, and breeding programs (ex-situ). Loss of biodiversity threatens the stability of the biosphere and human survival.
Biodiversity refers to the variety of living organisms from all sources. It exists at genetic, species, and ecosystem levels. Key threats include habitat loss, pollution, and overexploitation. Conservation strategies include protected areas like national parks, sanctuaries, and biosphere reserves which practice in-situ conservation. Ex-situ methods involve conservation outside natural habitats, like zoos. India has high biodiversity as a megadiverse country and is home to two biodiversity hotspots, the Western Ghats and Eastern Himalayas, which face serious threats.
The document discusses biodiversity and conservation. It defines biodiversity as the variety of life forms at genetic, species, and ecosystem levels. It notes that biodiversity is highest in the tropics and identifies three levels - genetic, species, and ecological diversity. Major threats to biodiversity include habitat loss, overexploitation, invasive species, and co-extinctions. Strategies for conservation include both in-situ methods like protected areas and ex-situ approaches such as seed banks and zoos. International agreements aim to reduce biodiversity loss globally and nationally.

It also addresses challenges in the palm oil industry, such as deforestation and social conflicts, and how HSBC is working with stakeholders and the RSPO to encourage certification and mitigate environmental and social impacts. The goal is to make sustainable palm oil the norm through a multi-stakeholder approach and responsible investment.
The document discusses increasing the effectiveness of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). It provides an overview of where RSPO is today, with over 400 members and nearly 1 million hectares of certified sustainable palm oil production. It outlines RSPO's goal to transform markets by making sustainable palm oil the norm. It then discusses actions RSPO is taking to increase efficiency, such as developing communication strategies in Europe, India and China to increase procurement of certified sustainable palm oil. The document concludes by emphasizing the importance of influencer groups and context in spreading RSPO's message.
Spatial planning in Indonesia aims to determine land use and guide development, including oil palm expansion. The national government plans to increase oil palm area by 50% by 2015. Spatial planning occurs at national, provincial, and district levels in a hierarchical system. It determines land classifications like protected areas and cultivation zones. High conservation value forests could be impacted if they fall within areas designated for development. The document recommends persuading local governments to minimize developing high conservation value lands, including these areas in environmental planning, and establishing local protections for high conservation value areas already designated for development. Government support is also needed to enable palm oil companies to conserve high conservation value areas within their concessions.
This document discusses directing palm oil expansion onto degraded land in a sustainable manner. It defines degraded land as land with damaged native vegetation and low recovery potential. Over 400,000 ha of suitable degraded land was identified in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. The document emphasizes using community mapping and free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC) to negotiate land use with local communities. It also discusses considering legal land status, livelihood impacts, and potentially swapping non-degraded land for degraded land to facilitate sustainable palm oil production.
This document summarizes challenges faced by smallholder oil palm farmers and initiatives to promote sustainable practices. It finds that smallholder outcomes vary significantly based on factors like government policies, private companies, and local leadership. Key issues smallholders face include unclear land rights, lack of assistance, and poor infrastructure. The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil and Palm Oil Producer Support Initiative aim to help smallholders meet certification standards through training and organization. Case studies show these initiatives can improve yields, market access, and lift smallholders out of debt when local conditions support their success.
This document discusses maintaining high conservation values (HCVs) in oil palm landscapes. It provides context on the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) and its Principles and Criteria (P&C), which require identification and management of HCVs within existing plantations and prohibit conversion of HCV areas for new plantings. It defines the six HCV categories and explains the HCV assessment process. It also discusses challenges with implementing HCV assessments at plantation scales and landscapes scales, and the role of the HCV Resource Network in providing guidance and quality control for HCV assessments globally.
This document summarizes a study that developed and applied a spatially-explicit model to analyze tradeoffs between expanding oil palm agriculture and environmental/development targets in Colombia. The model considers scenarios like business-as-usual expansion, prioritizing agroindustry, ecosystem protection, and carbon conservation. Key outcomes like land use change, biodiversity impacts, and effects on food production are measured and compared across scenarios. While impacts on livelihoods are also important, social data is limited for modeling those effects. Results of applying this modeling approach in Colombia will be published later in 2011.
This document discusses reducing greenhouse gas emissions from land use changes for oil palm development. It aims to analyze land use change in major oil palm producing countries, estimate emissions rates, and recommend emission reduction scenarios. Key points include perceptions that oil palm expansion often replaces forests, leading to greenhouse gas emissions, and the voluntary nature of emission reductions among RSPO members.
1. Biofuel policies aimed to promote biofuel production have unintentionally increased pressure on land use and distorted the balance between oilseed crops by favoring those with high oil content like oil palm.
2. The biofuel demand for vegetable oils independent of meal demand has tilted cultivation towards oil palm which has much higher oil yield and lower meal content than other oilseeds.
3. High palm oil prices driven by the link between vegetable oil and petroleum prices through biofuel use provide strong incentives for rapid expansion of oil palm plantations in Southeast Asia.
This document discusses the business case for sustainable practices. It notes that society faces limits on natural resources while the needs of a growing global population are not being met. Customers are increasingly concerned about issues like responsible sourcing and environmental sustainability. Failure to address these challenges could threaten business growth, while leaders that implement sustainable practices will be better positioned. The document uses Nestle as a case study, outlining its efforts to promote sustainability in agricultural supply chains and move towards deforestation-free commodities like palm oil.
The document summarizes an international symposium on sustainable palm oil held at the Zoological Society of London on May 5-6, 2011. The symposium included sessions on palm oil and sustainability, palm oil and the environment, and balancing environmental and socio-economic goals in palm oil production. It provides an agenda for the event and abstracts of the various presentations, which focused on issues like reducing greenhouse gas emissions from palm oil development, reconciling environmental and development targets, and maintaining high conservation values in oil palm landscapes.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.

Country Tropical land area suitable for oil palm
Reference: ‘Woods Hole Research Center (2007) Readiness for REDD: A preliminary global assessment of
tropical forested land suitability for agriculture’.
4. To what extent is this possible?
• Which species?
• At what spatial scale?
– Within an oil palm monoculture?
– Within an oil palm concession?
– Within a landscape dominated by oil palm?
• On what time scale?
• How can we influence this through
management?
6. Biodiversity value of oil palm monoculture
‘Across all taxa, a mean of only 15% of species recorded in primary forest
were also found in oil palm plantations’
Reference: Fitzherbert et al (2008), TREE 23: 538-45.
7. How are different species affected?
• Medium to large mammals
– 10% regularly entered the oil palm monoculture (Maddox et al.
2007)
• Small mammals
– Forest primates, squirrels & tree shrews were absent in oil palm
(Danielsen et al 1995)
– Bat species richness was significantly lower in the oil palm
(Fukuda et al 2009)
• Birds
– Between 5 – 53% forest bird species were also present in oil palm
(Danielsen et al. 1995; Aratrakorn et al. 2006; Sheldon et al. 2010)
• Invertebrates
– Fewer beetle, ant & moth species in the oil palm plantations
(Chung et al. 2000, Chey 2006; Brühl et al. 2009; Fayle et al. In
press)
– Higher numbers of bee species (Liow et al. 2001)
8. Which species can survive in oil palm
monoculture?
WINNERS LOSERS
•Non-forest species •Forest species
•General habitat requirements •Specific habitat requirements
•Lower Conservation Concern •Higher Conservation Concern
•High Abundance •Absent or reduced abundance
•Eg. Pests, invasive species •Eg. Critically Endangered species
9. Can we make oil palm monoculture more
hospitable for biodiversity?
• Epiphytic birds nest ferns support similar
numbers pf ant species in oil palm and
primary forest, despite ant species richness
being much lower in the canopy (52% loss)
and leaf litter (74% loss).
– Could help to increase ant species
richness by 15%, but few forest species
– Increase insectivorous birds?
(Fayle et al 2010)
•Birds – epiphytic ferns & leguminous ground
cover
•Butterflies – weed cover
•Natural forest cover remaining had a bigger
influence over bird & butterfly diversity
(Koh et al 2008)
10. Biodiversity within oil palm concessions
• Concession area = 10,216 ha
• Mature oil palm
• Conservation area = 980 ha
• Approx 7km from a National Park
215 species, including 49 HCV species

11. Biodiversity value of forest fragments
Ecological theory predicts:
• Smaller, more isolated fragments = fewer species, smaller
populations
• A Single Large reserve will support more species than
Several Small (SLOSS)
Why?
Smaller fragments =
– Greater exposure to edge effects – reduce habitat quality
– Less habitat available, fewer niches
– Higher chance of local extinction due to random events
Isolated fragments =
– Lower chance of immigration to ‘rescue’ populations from
extinction
12. Effect of fragment area
•Species & genetic diversity decreased with fragment size
•Fragment size required to retain equivalent diversity to contiguous forest
= >650ha (all species), 2,500ha (forest specialists), 10,000ha (genetic)
(Struebig et al in press)
•Species richness & diversity, decreased with fragment size
•Genetic diversity of 1 butterfly species was not affected by fragment size
•Fragment size required to support island endemics = 4,000ha
•Some species were only recorded in the smaller fragments
(Bickel et al 2006, Bickel et al 2007)
•Small fragments (0.7ha – 8.7ha) supported fewer species & lower
abundances of birds than contiguous forest, particularly species of
conservation priority.
•Species composition in fragments more similar to oil palm than contiguous
forest. (Edwards et al 2010)
13. Effect of fragment isolation
• Does distance between
fragments predict diversity?
– Butterflies = reduced species &
genetic diversity
– Bats = no effect on species or
genetic diversity
• Depends on the ability of
different species to move
through the oil palm matrix
• Maintaining connectivity
could be critical to ability to
persist over the long term
14. The value of Large vs Small areas of habitat
Land sharing
Land sparing
Large Small
•Higher diversity & bigger •Contribute to landscape level
populations diversity
•No changes in species •Still support some HCV species
composition - supports HCV •Promote landscape level
species connectivity
•More resilient over time •Several small patches support
higher diversity than a single
large for some species
15. How can we ensure oil palm & biodiversity
can co-exist?
• Avoid the conversion &
fragmentation of large
contiguous areas of natural
habitat
• Retain key fragments of
habitat within the oil palm
matrix
• Increase habitat complexity of
oil palm crop
16. Why must oil palm & biodiversity co-exist?
"To keep every cog and wheel is
the first precaution of intelligent
tinkering.“
- Aldo Leopold
