309 Recovery and co-operations for discovery of thresholds in uncertain times
(2)
Session abstract
Recovery and co-operations identifying resources and our integral responsibility of protection of our fragile
Earth are focused on in the second of our sessions. Industry stimulation in limited economies is discussed with
use of traditional natural product knowledge. Food security risks posed from environmental devastation are
briefly touched upon. Although it is accepted that prevention is better than cure, with resources perilously
limited as a consequence of our expansive populations, coverage will be given of resource creation with
surprisingly innovative use of dangerous levels of our pollution. The final part of our session discusses artistic
implementation to effect realization of the aesthetics and potential of a sustainable world via our behavioural
change. The session concludes with a brief discussion of systems integrity and component value; the
paradoxical nature of protection and sustainability. We detail a foundation in formation and principle to
complement the United Nations 2030 Agenda, which will sustain our beautiful Earth’s diversity and her
vulnerable communities into the future.
Key words: Earth, protection, community, creation, ecosystem-circularity

Abstract
The world population faces a plethora of ecological and health problems. Bonai Forest Division of Western
Odisha, India contains cultural diversity and a rich biodiversity. Here, a number of forest products are being
used among the communities for traditional beverage (Tadi), food (wild edible plants), and unique cultural
activities. These practices ensure ecosystem diversity and protect resident people from diseases. Forest fire
is a major threat in densely forested parts of the division. There is a need to restore our culture and
indigenous practices to face contemporary and future global challenges and cooperatively mitigate
ecological and health risks. Regions containing great diversity and cultural richness require representation,
increased conservation status and documentation before indigenous traditional knowledge is lost forever.
Site visits were made (2020-22). Documentation and cataloging of the Indigenous Traditional Knowledge
(ITK) of plants used by the Kisan, Oram, Munda and Bhuian tribal communities of Bonai Forest Division,
Odisha, India were collated and analyzed for health and environmental qualities. Baseline data was
observed to develop a panacea for diseases and disorders including solutions for ecological security. Results
revealed that the practices embellish an illustrative path with the capacity for lessening or solving
ecological and health-care problems. Future directions of this work are to qualify national natural diseases
and disorders, represent and monitor ITK in order to apply solutions which restore health and ecosystem
harmony.

Abstract
The US National Academy of Sciences study on the medical consequences of nuclear war concludes that in
the aftermath the greatest cause of fatalities would not be from physical-blast, radiation-burns nor ionizing
radiation but from mass starvation. The subsequent food and health crisis is expected to cause one to four
billion deaths. Preliminary data raises a giant red flag, threats to humanity are posed by the nuclear-arms
race in southern Asia and larger, more dangerous nuclear arsenals held by other nuclear weapons states.
Additional research must highlight the urgent need to rapidly negotiate a global agreement, outlawing and
eliminating strategical nuclear deterrents. Simulation of crops global average calories decreased 7% in
years 1-5 after a conflict of 5 Tg soot scenario and up to 50% under the 47 Tg scenario. In the 150 Tg soot
case global average calories from crops would decrease by around 90% 3-4 years after the nuclear conflict.
Changes would affect a catastrophe for global food markets, greatly exceeding the largest anomaly
recorded by the FAO observational records from 1961.The reduced light, global cooling and likely trade
restrictions after nuclear wars would have disastrous effects on food security. The negative impact of
climate perturbations on total crop production can generally not be offset by livestock and aquatic food
production, demonstrating international united motivations to both remove frightening devastation causes
and upscale our bottom-up approaches of agroecological complementation. Increased intensity and
frequency of climatic anomalies caused by nuclear explosions would deplete global grain reserves within a
year.

Abstract
End to end oil and gas use is hugely polluting. Operations include exploration, drilling, production, storage,
refinery and transportation. These processes create oil and gas well drilling waste and cuttings; solids and
muds of spent drilling fluids, which are water and diesel oil based muds. Low or minimal impacting
bioremediation is required to restore the environment. Micro-organisms neutralize or remediate
contaminants. Composting, bioreactors, bio-slurry and farming are put to use, to manage diesel-oil polluted
wastes in the field after or during remediation. Including a higher amount of compost in the initiating
mixture led to enhanced remediation of the petroleum hydrocarbons. This baseline investigation spurs four
years experimentation to further resolve organic material ratios, bulking agent proportions, nitrogen and
phosphorus fertilizer use, and the agitation of simple hydrocarbons demands. Drilling waste management
was successfully applied in 2019 and co-composting of 1200 cubic meters of crude oil contaminated saline
soil was achieved in Iran in 2020. Further optimal combinations of complementary processes utilizing
remediated waste in variable dynamic chemical settings offer hope to quench our activities in attempts to
recover natural ecosystems subjected by human onslaught.

Abstract
Global-warming and environmental desolation generationally fire us into action to mitigate increased
emergence of anomalies and extremes. Measures include: protection of systems integrity (sustainability),
natural-ecosystems, energy-efficiency, governance and industry-complementation. Awareness is universally
accepted as a basic requirement enabling our responsibilities and daily-behaviour. Art and its expression
contemporise issues with ambiguous definitions of perception. Art appeals to our quantitative sentiment
and qualifying value-judgement. Unconciously our minds realise and gain awareness. Awareness breeds
protection of diversity and beauty; inspires ways of nurturing it, akin to circular-sustainability. Using art to
sustain heightened-awareness causes long-term behavioural-change enabling ownership and responsibility
for both local and global environment. Multipronged contemporary methods: performing arts, land-art,
digital-art, cartoon, impressionist and illustrative art are introduced in daily-life. In order to receive feedback
and inclusively make visions available to public, business and governmental members (and allow input from
each group) workshops complement dissemination. Current projects focus on understanding soil, watching
a growing plant, and showing the effects of contaminants such as plastics. We anticipate awareness and
realisation from individuals. Aware individuals affect their work-place, companies, home, children, tutors,
employees, students, and loved-ones. Enlightened, bright-minds find ways of fostering and appreciating our
planet following their unique perception, driven by embedded conditioning. Creativity is an important

human-tool, without it humanity would be dull. Sustaining every resource is possible, including human’s will
to live and emotional well-being. Mixtures of emotional sentiment and discrete ‘realised’ blocks of change
are linked within symphonies and harmony, embodying our part in the beauty of the Earth.

Abstract
The majority of our human population lives in refined societies, split into various developmental levels;
within structures of variable complexity catering for the looped development needs and capacity of
resource flow dynamically. Minorities of the population live in remote, disparate and biodiverse locations
and are more reliant on natural ecosystem flow than the majority in their every-day lives. The levels of
diversity in these ‘hot-spot’ areas are far above all other locales in each of the kingdoms of life. The human
communities’ governance appears to be overlooked – both by residents and the countries in which they
reside, although thankfully many biodiverse areas are prioritized under the United Nations Convention for
Biological Diversity. An effort was made to fuse descriptive and informative monologues covering our
Earth’s beauty with the communities, which are subject to the problems that our expansive population has
collectively caused. Select members of remote communities came forward to represent their proud
ownership of extreme cultural and biological diversity, offering solutions and risks for the future. It is
suggested that using this same ‘united’ method we may benefit the cultural richness and both protection
and sustainability of the diversity in these locations, in the face of continuing extractive approaches.
Outreached-unit members are currently coming forward to form a new foundation with monitoring,
educational, cultural and biodiversity protection benefits. Core values of the foundation are responsibility,
sustenance and nurturing of the environment by upholding cultural diversity. Ownership is the key which
will ensure our guardian-role into uncertain future horizons.
