The 6 th World Parks Congress was organized in Sydney, Australia, in November 2014. More than 6,000 people from 170 countries attended this event which enabled conservation professionals to take stock of progress made since the previous congress, in Durban, South Africa, in 2003. And also to discuss the challenges that have emerged since then. From this point of view, Africa is particularly under pressure. The causes are many and have been the subject of numerous evaluations, some of them led by the IUCN Program on African Protected Areas & Conservation (IUCN-Papaco) since 2006. In addition to poor management effectiveness, one of these causes is the weak governance of most PAs, which negatively impacts on all activities that are conducted on the ground. That is why IUCN-Papaco focuses on governance in the context of a roadmap for Protected Areas: more ethical behavior, more legitimacy for decisions, accountability and transparency in the way they are made, more stakeholders involved, more professionalism for managers, more ownership of the tremendous assets that PAs offer, more recognition for those who succeed, more durability forconservation... these are the directions that this roadmap tries to promote for the future of conservation in Africa. To ensure a good participation of Africa at the congress, we launched a call for proposals open to stakeholders involved in and around PAs. The objective was to prepare key messages that would be brought to the congress by a team of conservationists coming from all over the continent. This was a great success and we received more than 150 proposals (from 33 African countries). After a rigorous selection process, 22 candidates were selected and became our "champions". Their messages cover all aspects of PA good governance, PA management efficiency and the sustainability of conservation. Together, they deliver a comprehensive and consistent message about the present and the future of protected areas on the continent and were to some extent "the voice of Africa" at the congress. All these champions indeed travelled to Sydney and were able to speak clearly and loudly about conservation in Africa. And they were listened to. This book is about this fantastic journey. It gathers all these experiences and tells you the story of our 22 champions, their messages and their hope. Whilst certainly not comprehensive, it gives you a good overview of what Africa can produce in terms of conservation when stakeholders, on the ground, commit themselves for the sake of African Nature.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
