I know this might be controversial but why do anything - why not let nature do it's thing and just observe.  That way it would establish a baseline and help to formulate acellerator interventions for other sites.   Although Knepp has started from a different base it's an interesting story in low intervention rewilding https://knepp.co.uk/

Thanks David,

I understand your point, but we are now collaborating with University research that will be examining (amongst other things) the microbial level, especially in poor and polluted environments. The request still stands, and any relevant collaboration would be welcomed.

All the best.

Thanks Steph,  

I appreciate a semi-regular summary document - it might only occasionally throw up a 'new' story for community members (depends on other media followed / library access) but it could be that one story that gives someone the next bright idea for their project (and is also no doubt appreciated by the developers / contributors).

Shuttleworth fellowship funding

Hiya,

Feel free to DM me if you want any help and advice applying. The Fellowship really is life changing if you are a free thinker in a closed system and have an idea you want to explore.

I wanted to develop open and affordable conservation technologies to break down the barriers that inhibit access, and so I started the Arribada Initiative (check out the AudioMoth purchase at the moment too). You get $250k a year plus your salary on top, so it's supercharged. Plus, it's like a family. You work with other Fellows to get advice, share experiences and everyone supports each other.

If you have an idea that needs openness injected then go for it, apply today.

Hi guys,

I'll be staffing the Miradi Software booth that Nick mentioned. So in case you don't make to any of the sessions, you can swing by our booth and ask questions, learn more about Miradi.org and MiradiShare.org and/or take part in our raffle to win  free subscription for Miradi.

 

Looking forward to seeing you all real soon,

Felix

hey Felix, great to hear from you! I'll definitely be popping by to find out more, thanks for sharing your booth details. 

As there are two tech focused symposiums today, plus your event nick, we're going to have another happy hour this evening for tech folk. Our one on Saturday had ~40 people, and, from the feedback I've had, people really appreciated the chance to sit for a while and have proper ind conversations. So it seems valuable to host another one.

Tech Happy Hour

5pm Tonight

Plaza de la Santísima Trinidad

We also have a growing tech whatsapp group which is how we're coordinating a lot of impromptu meetups, so if you'd like to join just add me at +44 7702255269, and let me know who you are. It'd also be helpful if you told me a sentence about what you're working on so I have a bit of context to connect you into the group. 

Looking forward to seeing old faces and meeting new ones. See you all soon 

Steph
