Διαδικτυακή εκδήλωση για το ελάφι της Πάρνηθας

https://dasarxeio.com/2022/02/25/108865/



Διαδικτυακή ενημερωτική εκδήλωση για το ελάφι της Πάρνηθας θα πραγματοποιηθεί τη Δευτέρα 28 Φεβρουαρίου, στις 6 το απόγευμα, με πρωτοβουλία της Μονάδας Διαχείρισης Εθνικών Πάρκων Πάρνηθας, Σχινιά και Προστατευόμενων Περιοχών Σαρωνικού Κόλπου. Στόχος της εκδήλωσης είναι η ενημέρωση των επισκεπτών για το κόκκινο ελάφι και την κατάσταση διατήρησής του, αλλά και για το πώς μπορούν να συμβάλουν στη μελέτη του είδους.

Η συγκεκριμένη εκδήλωση θα είναι η πρώτη από μία σειρά διαδικτυακών εκδηλώσεων που προγραμματίζονται το επόμενο διάστημα από τη Μονάδα Διαχείρισης Εθνικών Πάρκων Πάρνηθας, Σχινιά και Προστατευόμενων Περιοχών Σαρωνικού Κόλπου, με στόχο την ενημέρωση των πολιτών για τα είδη πανίδας και χλωρίδας που διαβιούν στην Πάρνηθα και τις ιδιαίτερες ανάγκες και απαιτήσεις τους, για τους κανόνες ορθής συμπεριφοράς και για τις δυνατότητες συμμετοχής τους σε δράσεις διαχείρισης στον Εθνικό Δρυμό Πάρνηθας.

Σημειώνεται ότι το διάστημα αυτό υλοποιείται μελέτη από το Τμήμα Βιολογίας του ΑΠΘ με χρηματοδότηση του ΥΜΕΠΕΡΑΑ και έχει σκοπό την γενετική ανάλυση του πληθυσμού του κόκκινου ελαφιού. Πριν δέκα χρόνια είχε πραγματοποιηθεί σχετική μελέτη από το Φορέα Διαχείρισης Πάρνηθας, από την οποία είχαν εξαχθεί συμπεράσματα για την «καταγωγή» του ελαφιού της Πάρνηθας.

Η επανάληψη της γενετικής ανάλυσης του πληθυσμού κρίθηκε απαραίτητη, ώστε να μελετηθεί η εξέλιξη του πληθυσμού, να διαπιστωθεί η συγγένεια, ή όχι, με δύο πληθυσμούς στις Σέρρες -οι οποίοι δημιουργήθηκαν από άτομα της Πάρνηθας που είχαν μεταφερθεί εκεί στο παρελθόν- και να μαρκαριστούν οι κατάλληλοι και αντιπροσωπευτικοί γεννήτορες, σε περίπτωση που απαιτηθεί η δημιουργία αποθέματος σε άλλη περιοχή.

Η συμμετοχή στην εκδήλωση θα γίνει μέσω του zoom στον εξής σύνδεσμο: https://meet.necca.gov.gr/ParnithaRedDeerWebinar

Barack Obama :Trayvon Martin wasn’t so different from me

 

Hi there, Ten years ago today, Trayvon Martin was killed.  Trayvon wasn’t so different from me. I resembled him as a teenager, and as a young Black man, the way I was perceived was similar to the way Trayvon was perceived. Luck might have been the only thing that separated us.  Recently, I reflected on what Trayvon’s death 10 years ago meant to me as president, and as a Black man—as well as what it meant for our country. I also shared more about the movement sparked by the tragedy, which continues to press forward.

Trayvon’s death and the resulting jury decision was an expression of a longstanding sense that our country is overdue in recognizing all Americans as equal—not just in the eyes of the law, but in the eyes of each other.  I shared the frustration of millions of Americans in the wake of Trayvon's death, and I was left with a question of what my administration could do to address the systemic issues that led to this tragedy. Learn more about our response, which led to the creation of the My Brother’s Keeper initiative during my time in the White House, and see how its work continues at the Obama Foundation through the My Brother’s Keeper Alliance. In addition to My Brother’s Keeper, one of the most important things that came out of this dark moment to me was the activation of an entire new generation of civil rights leaders who took grassroots organizing to a new level. By leveraging social media, building a coalition, and making their voices heard, they were able to move so many people from anguish to action.  It will take sustained engagement at multiple levels to ensure no Black life is cut short. That’s one reason we’re proud to be connecting and training the next generation of leaders through the Obama Foundation, and supporting boys and young men of color through the My Brother’s Keeper Alliance.  We have a long way to go. But my hope is that we can look back on this moment and the movement that emerged in response to this tragedy as one more step in our country’s journey to come to terms with our past. It will take all of us to make that a reality. Thank you for your support of this work. –Barack                ⓒ 2022 Obama Foundation

U.S.A.'s interesting latest news

 

The following GAIN reports were released on February 24, 2022. _______   China: American Ginseng approved for use as a food ingredient under Guangdong pilot program On December 10, 2021, Guangdong Administration for Market Regulation (GAMR) released information and rules of a pilot program to allow several Traditional Chinese Medicine products, including American ginseng, to be used as ingredients in food and beverage products. Formulas for these products were only accepted for a period of 10 days in December 2021. Though this pilot program may eventually expand the ways in which ginseng is used, it is expected to have limited impact on demand for premium U.S. ginseng. Local contacts report food companies are seeking low-priced, often domestically-produced ginseng to use as a food ingredient to control costs. The pilot program ends on November 8, 2022. There is no announcement of next steps after the pilot program ends.   China: Updated Technical Guidelines for Cold Chain Foods On January 30, 2022, China's State Council released two updated technical guidelines for preventing and controlling COVID-19 in cold-chain food. The Technical Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Novel Coronavirus in Cold Chain Food Production and Operation (Second Edition) and the Cold Chain Food Production and Operation Process Covid Control and Disinfection (Second Edition) establish guidelines for producers and operators involved in cold-chain food, including production, loading and unloading, transportation, storage, and sales. In September 2020, the PRC notified emergency measures to the WTO regarding China's cold chain food and alleged concerns over COVID-19.   Ecuador: Agricultural Trade Between United States and Ecuador Reaches Historical Record Despite economic constraints and the continued COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. - Ecuador bilateral agricultural trade in 2021 rose to $3.8 billion. In addition, U.S. agricultural exports reached a record $587 million. This demonstrates continued opportunities in Ecuador and underscores the value of the growth potential within the market, although many tariff and policy issues remain for several product categories.   Egypt: The Resilience of the Egypt Economy in the face of COVID-19 Shocks and High Commodity Prices  Despite the COVID-19 pandemic and the rise in commodity prices globally, Egypt succeeded in maintaining inflation rates within the Central Bank of Egypt’s (CBE’s) target range of 7 percent (±2 percent) in 2021, at a time when many countries of the world are witnessing a wave of high inflation. Egypt has adopted rational economic and monetary policies over recent years that have taken into account achieving stability in commodity prices, as well as setting interest rates in line with inflation targets. This put Egypt at the forefront of emerging markets in reducing its rate of inflation.   Press Release  |  February 25, 2022 *Corrected version sent to reflect the correct month of enforcement actions and administrative hearings scheduled   FDIC Makes Public January Enforcement Actions; No Administrative Hearings Scheduled for March 2022 WASHINGTON - The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) today released a list of orders of administrative enforcement actions taken against banks and individuals in January 2022.  There are no administrative hearings scheduled for March 2022.   The FDIC issued nine Orders in January 2022.  The administrative enforcement actions in those Orders consisted of four Orders to Pay Civil Money Penalty, one order terminating consent order, one voluntary termination of deposit insurance, and three orders of prohibition from further participation.   To view orders, adjudicated decisions and notices and the administrative hearing details online, please visit the FDIC’s Web page by clicking the link below.   January 2022 Enforcement Decisions and Orders

APEC Propels Regional Integration, Connectivity and Sustainability

 

Issued by the 2022 APEC Senior Officials' Meeting

Bangkok, Thailand, 25 February 2022

Senior officials from 21 member economies pushed forward APEC’s work to reinvigorate regional economic integration, reconnect the region and reassure sustainability for future growth as guided by the APEC 2022 theme of “Open. Connect. Balance.”

During the first APEC Senior Officials’ Meeting in 2022, member economies deliberated approaches for refreshing the discussions on the Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific (FTAAP) post-pandemic, the reopening of safe and seamless travel in the region as well as exploring the bio-circular-green (BCG) economy model.

“In past years, member economies have worked hard in moving forward our work on FTAAP,” said Thailand’s Permanent Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Thani Thongphakdi, who is also the Chair of 2022 APEC Senior Officials. 

“While differences in positions on this issue persist, I believe there are opportunities for cooperation, given the changing landscape and emerging challenges especially from the COVID-19 pandemic,” he said.

“Future-proofing the work on regional economic integration, next-generation issues such as health, environment, sustainability and digital economy need to be considered.”

The APEC Committee on Trade and Investment will carry the discussions on FTAAP and COVID-19 forward, with a scheduled dedicated session on 15 March, and a public-private dialogue in the margins of the APEC Ministers Responsible for Trade Meeting in May, in collaboration with the APEC Business Advisory Council.

Members reiterated the importance of trade as a path towards economic recovery, emphasizing their strong support for the role of the multilateral trading system with the World Trade Organization (WTO) at its core.

“APEC can build good momentum for the substantive and meaningful outcomes of the 12^th Ministerial Conference (MC12) rescheduled for this June, including on issues of trade and health, environment, agricultural, fisheries subsidies and the WTO reform,” Thani explained.

Member economies also called for a continued and intensified effort to improve the services sector in APEC through the utilization of digital technologies and the APEC Services Competitiveness Roadmap, as well as by continuing discussions on environmental goods and services.

According to a report by the APEC Policy Support Unit, APEC’s share of total world services exports has declined from 38.8 percent in 2016 to 38.1 percent in 2019, which means that APEC has decreased its trajectory and has to ramp up services exports rapidly if it wishes to increase its global share of services exports by 2025.

Services are critical for most economies as they provide the bulk of economic output and employment. APEC needs to build momentum to ensure an open and predictable environment for access to services markets.

To advance APEC’s sustainability agenda, Thani introduced goals that will support the promotion of economic policies that complement global efforts in addressing environmental challenges.

Thani added that while APEC's mechanisms to further sustainability are decentralized, “these goals driven by the BCG economy aim to provide the entry point to advance this agenda in an integrated and comprehensive manner.”

Senior officials concluded their first meeting of the year and will convene again in May this year in Bangkok, Thailand.
