This document discusses the threats facing Ontario wolves and calls for a provincial wolf protection plan. It summarizes the current situation where wolves have no meaningful protections and can be hunted and trapped year-round with no limits. It outlines 9 recommendations for a protection plan, including banning snaring, establishing protected habitat corridors, conducting population assessments, and promoting coexistence through education and non-lethal deterrents of livestock predation. The document provides context on the global decline of wolves and threats facing populations in Ontario.
Elephants have been damaging plantations by feeding on bamboo and crops. Several non-lethal options are proposed to deter elephants including growing chili peppers, nurturing bees, using elephant geo-fencing, and electric fences. Chili peppers and bees have been successfully used in Africa, where the strong smells of chili peppers and buzzing of bees scare elephants away. Geo-fencing uses radio collars and GPS to detect elephants crossing virtual fences and alert rangers. Electric fences are effective but expensive to install and maintain. Other options like ditches and barricades have had limited success due to the elephants' ability to learn and overcome obstacles. The best solutions protect both elephants and farmers' livelihoods.
Panthera is an organization devoted to preserving wild cats and their ecosystems. It develops strategies based on science to protect cheetahs, jaguars, leopards, lions, pumas, snow leopards and tigers. WildAid's mission is to end the illegal wildlife trade by changing consumer behavior. WildCRU was founded in 1986 and conducts original research to achieve practical conservation solutions, particularly for wild cats including lions. The document provides background on these three organizations and then summarizes a report on the crisis facing Africa's lions, whose populations have declined 43% in the past two decades due to loss of habitat and threats like retaliatory killing and bushmeat hunting.
DeGrowth & Conservation; Lessons from Pre-Industrial SocietiesGoteo / Platoniq
油
This document discusses lessons that can be learned from pre-industrial societies regarding sustainable resource use and conservation. It notes that ancient hunter-gatherer societies experienced periods of resource scarcity until around 8,000 BCE, after which no major extinction events were recorded until modern times. Pre-industrial societies developed cultural practices like sacred habitats, hunting restrictions, and community memory to prevent overexploitation and ensure equitable resource access across generations. In contrast, industrial societies prioritize private profit and growth without restraint, discounting environmental costs. The document argues for an eco-socialist model with civic democracy, biocentric ethics, and power vested in communities rather than private accumulation to achieve long-term conservation.
Poaching involves illegally hunting, killing, or capturing animals. It is common in developing countries and leads to species extinction. Animals are poached for their hides, meats, bones, and other body parts, which are sold and used for clothing, jewelry, food, and traditional medicines. The most commonly poached animals are elephants, rhinoceros, leopards, tigers, lions, and pandas. Their tusks, horns, skins, and other parts fetch high prices on the black market. Efforts to stop poaching include deterring poachers, increasing enforcement, and educating local communities. Both governmental and non-governmental organizations work to protect wildlife from this threat.

While bush meat consumption as a driver of deforestation has received international attention, understanding the roles played by women and men in the consumption of wild animals will be vital if the trade is to continue sustainably. This presentation gives an overview of CIFOR research on the roles and contributions of men and women in the hunting, trade, and consumption of bush meat within the value chain.
Robert Nasi, CIFOR Scientist and Leader of the CGIAR Research Programme on Forest, Trees, and Agroforestry (http://www.cifor.org/crp6/), gave this presentation at the first Africa Congress of the International Union of Forest Research Organisations (IUFRO) and the Forestry Network for sub-Saharan Africa (FORNESSA), held in Nairobi, Kenya in June 2012.

Building solutions in SharePoint isnt simply about getting the functionality right based on the business requirements. Developers must think about the entire user experience. In this interactive class, well discuss questions like: How should the user feel when they use this piece of functionality? Will they see it as saving them work or creating new work? How will it compare to what they see on the consumer Web? Well look at good and bad examples from SharePoint itself, as well as specific customizations.

This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a variable step incremental conductance (VSIC) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique for photovoltaic (PV) systems. The VSIC method aims to improve both the tracking speed and accuracy of the traditional incremental conductance (IC) method by varying the step size according to how far the operating power point is from the maximum power point. Simulation results presented in the paper show that the VSIC method achieves better tracking performance than the IC method with fixed step sizes, obtaining higher average power output while reducing voltage and current ripples near the maximum power point.

- The mountain bongo, a large red antelope found in Kenya and Tanzania, is one of Africa's most endangered species with perhaps only 100 remaining in the wild.
- Calgary zoo animal behaviourist Jake Veasey is working on a community-based conservation program in Kenya and Tanzania to help protect the remaining bongo from poachers and habitat loss and to develop sustainable alternatives for local communities.
- Through camera tracking and surveys, Veasey aims to get an accurate count of the remaining bongo and identify the key threats they face from illegal logging and poachers who kill the bongo both for meat and its high economic value on the black market.
This document discusses animal extinction and provides three key points:
1) A species becomes extinct when the last individual dies and can no longer reproduce, and a species may be functionally extinct with only a small number of individuals remaining.
2) Habitat destruction, pollution, wildlife trade, and overharvesting are the main causes of extinction.
3) Project Tiger was initiated in India in 1972 to protect Bengal tigers and help increase their population from 1,200 in the 1970s to over 2,000 currently.
The document discusses several strategies for conserving big cat species, including lions, tigers, leopards, and cheetahs. It recommends protecting habitats, identifying priority populations for conservation efforts, connecting reserves through land-use planning, increasing anti-poaching enforcement, and creating more reserves. Threats to big cats include loss of habitat, poaching for traditional medicine, hunting, and lack of legal protections. Several organizations work to rescue and rehabilitate big cats in Africa through research, education, and secure protected areas.
Predators around the world are facing extinction rates hundreds to thousands of times higher since human introduction. The removal of top predators from ecosystems has disrupted the regulatory balance and decreased biodiversity. Without predators controlling prey populations, prey species multiply rapidly which overtaxes resources and decreases diversity within the prey community through the "Paine effect." Trophic cascades occur when changes in one part of the food chain impact other levels, and they demonstrate the importance of predators in maintaining ecosystem integrity.
Orangutans are solitary apes found in the forests of Sumatra and Borneo with a declining population of about 24,000. They eat fruits, leaves, bugs and bird eggs in the rainforests. Their habitat is being destroyed for infrastructure development and bush meat poaching, leaving them at risk of extinction within our lifetimes if more protections are not established.

- African elephants live in family units across sub-Saharan Africa, inhabiting grasslands and various other habitats. They communicate using rumbling noises, vocalizations, and body language.
- Elephants face threats from human expansion and conflicts over resources, which has led to declining populations. Methods to prevent crop raiding like guarding fields, electric fencing, and shooting elephants have had limited success and also result in harm.
- Elephants are herbivorous and forage for foods like grass, leaves, fruits, branches, and twigs throughout the day and night. They have few teeth which are used to grind their food.
