As soon as mom leaves table, waitress slips note to husband. When she came back from the bathroom she saw what her waitress had done. She couldn't believe that this girl had the nerve to do what she did. She didn't want to cause a scene in the restaurant but she knew she couldn't let this go. She needed to speak up. However, as she approached the table the waitress turned and left in a hurry. She immediately confronted her husband and demanded to know what the note the waitress had slipped and said. He handed her the note and she could barely hold back tears as she read what the waitress had written.  This was something that Jackie Johnson Smith discovered firsthand once she had children. However, the experience she had at a Des Moines, Iowa pizzeria was unlike anything she had ever experienced. While having dinner with her husband at the pizzeria, Jackie witnessed the waitress secretly slipping her husband a note. Needless to say, she was furious. However, upon reading the note she simply couldn't believe what she was seeing. Jackie was a woman who took no nonsense from anybody. This was due in part to the fact that she had severed in the military and had developed a fairly thick skin. Jackie was not only in the military but she was also a very devoted mother. However, the day a waitress surreptitiously slipped her husband a note would be a dag she would never forget. The note in question left this tough as nails military heroine tears. But what could she have done to get under Jackie's skin like that? As romantic as it sounds, being a mother can be a very unglamorous job. Most of the time you feel far from sexy. This due to the fact you will spend most of your time tired, dealing with a mess, and being there for your children at all times, no matter what.  She knew that her husband was an attractive man and that he drew many looks from other women. For the most part, she ignored those thoughts and didn't let it bother her. However, something about their waitress caused warning bells to go off. Jackie was already becoming worried. She knew that after three kids not only had her energy and body changed, but so had their relationship. It was of course understandable that her physique would change, but that wasn't all that bothered her. Her body wasn't the only thing that had changed however. After many years together as well as three kids, Jackie had felt their relationship change over time. She couldn't help but wonder if her husband wanted to change altogether. Normally she ignored these thoughts, but tonight she had cause for her suspicions. Jackie and Tom had decided to have a much needed date night again for a change. With three kids, one of whom had only recently been born, time for things like that was hard to find. However, they were determined. So as a family, all five of them went out to a local pizzeria. Everything was going well, but once they got to the restaurant, the youngest grew difficult and niggly. Jackie knew that it was time for her baby to feed so she didn't hesitate. However, as she breastfed her baby she could feel all eyes on her, especially their waitress. The waitress kept walking by and I was worried she didn't want me nursing in the restaurant, Jackie would recall. The way the waitress behaved was unnerving and Jackie was certain that this girl was judging her. However, the waitress was not judging her at all. In fact, it wouldn't be until Jackie intercepted the offending note from her husband that she found out what was going on. The reality left Jackie in total shock and tearing up. Jackie became increasingly aware of the side long glances that she was getting from the waitress, and it was slowly starting to make her feel more and more uncomfortable. Jackie could only assume that she didn't approve of her breastfeeding in the restaurant. It was clear that this waitress had something on her mind, but she simply wouldn't say anything. This simply annoyed Jackie further. The girl simply kept pacing up and down until she finally saw her opportunity, and that's when she made her move. Jackie knew she had to do what she had to do. However, her waitress's stairs were beginning to make her feel uncomfortable. She noticed how intently she was watching. And then, she saw the way they locked eyes. There was something going on here. She just didn't know what. Feeling emotional, Jackie began to get up. But she had no idea what the waitress was planning on doing in her absence. Jackie excused herself from the table. During this time her husband had asked for the bill. As soon as she was gone, the waitress swooped in. Slyly, she slipped Jackie's husband a sneaky little note. His reaction was everything. What he didn't know was that Jackie saw everything. And at that moment, her heart sank. Then, her feeling gave way to another emotion entirely pure rage. She slung her baby over her hip and stormed over. Her husband still held his phone and the incriminating note in his hand. And she was ready for a fight. What had sent Jackie into such a rage was how her husband had reacted to the note. Instead of simply getting rid of the evidence, he immediately took out his phone. She was incredulous. Jackie couldn't help but feel as though he had had enough of playing dad. And now, all her insecurities were confirmed. She felt her world fall apart as she stood there, watching. Well, what was she going to do about it? Jackie was outraged. How dare another woman move in on her man in her absence? Her mind was racing. She couldn't imagine what judgmental note was scrolled on the slip. What hurt more, however, was that her husband immediately took out his phone. Was he really going to save some random woman's number in front of her? Jackie demanded to see the letter. But when she looked at it, she just began to weep. Not only had the waitress given her husband a special discount, but the note was also about Jackie breastfeeding in public. Jackie was used to being the subject of controversy, but nobody had ever commented directly on her feeding her baby at their restaurant before. Feeling stunned and emotional, Jackie couldn't hold back the floodgates any longer. As Jackie stared at the slip, hot tears rolled down her face. She could not believe what she was reading. Jackie was overcome with emotion. She sunk into receipt and took it in. Of all of the notes to be passed, she did not expect this one. But the note did more than evoke emotion. It inspired Jackie to do something. Jackie felt so overwhelmed by the waitress gesture that she took to social media to tell everyone how she had been treated. She knew that breastfeeding in public had become an extremely hot button issue, but she was still surprised by the feedback she received from Facebook users. I have breastfed three children. I have breastfed them in countless places both pleasant and unpleasant, discreetly and out in the open, she began. I have gotten many looks and stares, but tonight erases any negativity I have ever received. I ate at Fong's for the first time tonight. Having a fussy baby I nursed him for a while in the booth, and eventually left the table early, as to not disrupt the restaurant, Jackie's Facebook post continued. The waitress gave this receipt to my husband. I was speechless and emotional. So, what did the note say? Bodie had been a waitress for a while. And through her years of service, she had seen how breastfeeding moms were treated. She understood their plight. And it made her so mad that people judged women for just wanting to feed their baby. So, when she saw how cool and calm Jackie was, she had to do something. So she wrote a note on the bill, I bought one of your pizzas. Please thank your wife for breastfeeding. Jackie took the stares in her stride. But what she did afterward was even more amazing. When Tom pulled out his phone, his wife had expected the worst. However, he nearly wanted to capture a shot of the powerful message. Jackie now understood this. And she decided to do the same. Jackie took a photo of the slip. And when she shared it on social media, the response was overwhelming. People praised Bodie and Jackie equally. Bodie had made a massive impression on the public. But her actions birthed a beautiful movement. Thanks to Bodie and Jackie, a breastfeeding awareness was starting to grow. Too long had moms been subjected to awkward stares. People seem unable to comprehend the concept of breastfeeding. Jackie showed moms it is okay to be bold. And Bodie showed that out there, there will be cheerleaders who support their choice to feed. It still isn't a comfortable topic, but all awareness is good awareness. And that's exactly what Jackie wants to share. It's rare to get such positive feedback for breastfeeding even though it is a totally natural thing for a mother to do. Bodie, the waitress, later said, I noticed Jackie nursing and was so thrilled she did it. I tried not to stare because I didn't want to seem creepy or make her feel uncomfortable, but I felt like doing jumping jacks. After dealing with people's reactions for so long, it was like the universe was giving me a pat on the back. I was too stunned to go back inside and thank the waitress, Jackie said. Later, Jackie visited Bodie to thank her in person. Although I don't need a pat on the back for feeding my child, it sure felt amazing. It is amazing how we women can make each other feel when we empower each other. Since the incident, Jackie and Tom have been stronger than ever. Their little family made waves on social media. Today, they still have a resounding presence. But it's thanks to Jackie passionately standing for her beliefs. Who knew that two women could create such an impact? Between Bodie and Jackie, they have allowed more moms to feel supported. Their legacy will definitely be passed on through this story. And the world thanks them for it.


I'm Annie Fisher, the Vice President of the American Literary Translators Association. I'm excited to open this video commemorating the shortlist and winner of the 2020 Italian Pros in Translation Award. 2020 marks the sixth year for the IPTA, which recognizes the importance of contemporary Italian prose, fiction, and literary nonfiction, and promotes the translation of Italian works into English. Welcome, everyone. We are excited to have you here to celebrate with us. The judges for the 2020 IPTA are Gene Bonner, Richard Dixon, and Tony Shugar, who selected the shortlist and the winner, who will receive a $5,000 prize. We will be hearing from Gene Bonner and Richard Dixon with the blurbs for the shortlisted titles, and then we will go to Tony Shugar for the announcement of the winner of the 2020 Italian Pros in Translation Award, followed by a brief conversation and reading with the winner. Please feel free to follow along in the awards brochure found in the description, and we encourage you to purchase these titles from the bookshop.org page also found in the description. When you do, you support local bookstores. Engage with us in the comments wherever you're watching, and tag us at littranslate on Twitter and use the hashtag ALTA43. And now I'll turn over to our judges. During the 2020 Italian Pros and Translation Award shortlist in no particular order, Beyond Babylon by Ejibah Shago, translated from the Italian by Aaron Robertson, and published by Two Lines Press, Ejibah Shago's sprawling modern epic of a novel tells us the story of two half sisters, and in the process drops us into contemporary Rome, a fascinating city of immigrants and refugees. Others may see the eternal city and Italy through an entirely new lens, the lens of people who have escaped all kinds of tragedies, in the case of one sister, Argentina's dirty war, to remake their lives in a new place. While weaving an engrossing story, Shago, who is of Somalian descent, touches on myriad controversial issues facing Italy, and not only, including colonialism, racism and sexism. Such a brimming polyglot novel provided no end of challenges to translator Aaron Robertson, who provides an accessible English version of Shago's witty, frank Italian. And The Bishop's Bedroom by Piero Chiara, translated from the Italian by Jill Foulston, and published by New Vessel Press. In this sophisticated and at times moody murder mystery, two men meet up and post for Northern Italy and become friends as they sail around Lake Maggiore. The author, Piero Chiara, has expertly combined with the late John Gardner, considered fictions two main storylines. A stranger comes to town and a man goes on a journey. The stranger in this case is the owner of a small sailing vessel. While the man who goes on the journey is a wealthy villa owner, whose accounting of his wartime adventures in Africa doesn't quite add up. Or is that the case? Chiara keeps us guessing and reading with the combination of the stranger and the journey resulting in tragedy and heartache. The novel is eminently readable, thanks to the spare and accurate in everything from mood to diction translation by Jill Foulston, who matches Chiara's peerless knowledge of winds, tides and other nautical concerns that pepper the narrative. Wolf's Table by Rosella Pastorino, translated from the Italian by Lea di Yanesco, published by Flat Iron Books. Set in the final stages of World War II, this novel is inspired by the real life experience of a German woman who is conscripted to taste dishes to be served to Adolf Hitler. Rosa Sauer's parents are dead, her husband is fighting on the eastern front and she is sheltering with his parents when the SS come knocking at her door. She and a handful of women, her fellow food tasters, are forced to eat food that someone might have poisoned. Lea di Yanesco well renders the intensity of the original text, capturing the drama of the women's plight, their tensions, anxieties and despair, and has a fine ear for dialogue that flows smoothly and compellingly. Ithaca Forever, Penelope Speaks, a novel by Luigi Malerba, translated from the Italian by Douglas Grant Heiss, published by University of California Press. Odysseus' return to his wife Penelope after his 20-year absence is masterfully retold in this intriguing novel that prized open the gaps in Homer's narrative. When she really failed to recognise him when he appeared before her dressed as a beggar, Malerba's interpretation highlights Odysseus' vanity and Penelope's resentment when she realises his first interest is to test out her fidelity. He has been fighting wars and seeking adventure while hers has been a life of solitude, a marriage on hold. Douglas Grant Heiss brilliantly captures the voices of the returning Victor and his emotional inadequacies and of the long-suffering wife who isn't prepared to go along with his games. And this year's winner is I Am God by Giacomo Sartori, translated from the Italian by Frederica Randall, Restless Books. God has an existential crisis and falls in love with the unlikeliest of humans. Why, he asks, with nine billion to look after, should I go for a geneticist who also happens to be a fanatical atheist? Being all-powerful is losing its appeal, but would life as immortal be any better? Through the eyes of our omniscient narrator, we look at the immensity of human insignificance. As he meditates on beauty, goodness, environment, the cosmos, and our miserable attempts at religion. Sartori's deliciously absurd humor is magnificently translated by Frederica Randall, who captures his mocking voice with great ingenuity, delivering well-honed one-liners with impeccable timing and all the skill of a stand-up comic. Perhaps that skill in translating both humor and absurdity, two sides of the same coin, was an especially useful asset in her work as a political journalist. She wrote about her own work as a translator. Quote, I like to work on fiction and non-fiction that's just this side of untranslatable. Books that challenge what non-Italians know about Italian life, or challenge what we think constitutes a memoir, a novel, a work of history, unquote. It is tempting to see her translation work as a continuation of journalism, by other means, in the aftermath of her death on May 12th. The nation published an appreciation of her work as the papers, quote, Longtime Rome Correspondent, a mordantly funny, never in the least dispassionate observer. An acute chronicler of the post-war death spiral of Italian democracy, unquote. Frederica Randall covered Italy, a country that's just this side of untranslatable, as a journalist and as a translator. Translation being a form of journalism and journalism being a form of translation. She did both with great and uncommon mastery. The year is an excerpt from I Am God. God is not the sleepy old fart that many believers imagine. Let's get that straight. He likes to keep up with what's going on in the cosmos. He intervenes when he needs to, although intervention doesn't necessarily mean throwing a giant tantrum or staging a biblical scale massacre. There are also moments when these can go on for several million years, during which he just loafs around in his, as it were, slippers. Mostly when nothing much is happening. When the stars are living out there, adamantine life cycles, the galaxies evolving as galaxies will, and even on the subatomic level, all is going according to plan. When trying as hard as I might to come up with something to do, I can think of nothing that can't be done tomorrow. I won't say I sleep, God never sleeps, but my condition isn't much different from that of a bear and hibernation or a brumating snake. Let's just say I take things easy. But then, bang, everything shifts and suddenly I have a thousand pastiferous problems to resolve, millions of things to look after. Rush over here, race over there, put out that, dam up this, patch up the other. I can barely keep on top of it all. And things have gotten distinctly worse since that appalling bungler, homo sapiens, started making all kinds of trouble. War, epidemics, slaughter, genocide, annihilation. Not only collective disasters, but a myriad of individual emergencies. Women starving to death, children mistreated, children put in terrible danger and subjected to agonizing torture. Nine billion individuals, no matter how irresponsible they are, are still nine billion in need of a hand. Sometimes I feel more like a social worker than God. Hardly that high-handed hotlet head the Bible talks about. And now we will hear from Federica Randall's son, Tomaso Juker. My name is Tomaso Juker. I'm Federica Randall's son. I'm speaking today on her behalf because very sadly she passed away earlier this year in May and so it can't be with us to celebrate this wonderful award. I wanted to start by just simply thanking everyone involved in this process. I'm really grateful to have this platform to just say a few words on my behalf and also on my father's behalf. We're extremely pleased that obviously that my mother's received this award. It's a huge honour and a great way for us to remember her and her work. My mother would have obviously been over the moon to receive this prize, but at the same time she had a fear of public speaking. And so I think in some way she wouldn't be too displeased about the fact that I get to give this small sort of speech on her behalf. When I started thinking about what I might want to say to you in these short few minutes, I started thinking about my mother, the translator. And I realised that when I did that I couldn't actually... I thought of my mom as a translator, it didn't immediately come to me. And that's partly because in a professional sphere I immediately think of my mother as my mother, the journalist. And that's what she was for me and for everyone for many years, reporting on the latest and most exciting art and literary trends in the world, particularly Italy, attending the Biennale di Venezia every year. And it was only later in her life that she really got involved and interested in translating and part of that was sparked by a tragic and sad accident that she suffered about 15 years ago, which made it much harder for her to move around. But my mother really saw the silver lining to that and the translation became a vehicle for her to escape that whole small event that happened to her. And so she became more and more interested in translation during the years and I think what she really appreciated about it was the challenge. So she obviously liked the challenge of finding the right way to represent someone else's words when going from one language to the other. So not just the literal translation of words, but also what the actual meaning of them in the original language. And this was something that she was immensely talented at doing. But the other part of the challenge for her was actually finding those hidden gems, those books or pieces that no one else had thought or bothered to translate previously. And that I think drove her just as much as the actual perfectionist in her in trying to sort of get the translation just right. And so Jacomo Sartori's I Am God fits that perfectly. It was something she was immensely proud of having found and she she's sold value in immediately and felt that everyone else should as well. So really poured her heart and soul into into into translating the book and also promoting it and trying to get it out there. And so I think this this award is is immensely fitting for her to receive this award for for that for that particular translation. And I just hope that you enjoy reading the book just as much as she enjoyed translating it.


Great, thank you. I just got the signal that our live streaming is now working and We hope to have many many Viewers online as well. So very much. Welcome to this second part of today's activities We had a networking lunch in the Amazon room. This will now be the first of two seminars on Forest the role of forestry for sustainable development and of course roller waiting for and looking forward To the arrival of their maddy sister king and the queen for the second part of the seminar Fortunately, I would say we've been given some more time So I immediately saw Robert relax when he realized that there was a bit more time for for this part of the seminar If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm Peter Holmgren director general of seafor and I will speak a lot in the Next seminar, so I will not speak more right now My main job is to say welcome to you and to introduce the moderator of this first session Which is Robert Nancy deputy director general for research at seafor so With a much more smart-looking boutique hand over to you Thank you, Peter I'm not going to speak very much or so neither on this one or the other but we have a very good lineup of speakers for this first session that was supposed to start at one o'clock and it's 120 now and Finish at two I can we can probably extend it Past two but we have to be really back into the room before three because the in fact we are not going out to the room in fact We are staying in the room But the the the Royals are supposed to arrive at three So let us use about that so that means that we have a little bit more time for the presentation But I will ask the six speakers to try to stick as Stick as much as possible to their Eight to ten minute presentation and we can have some time for discussion eventually in question at the end so I will not Speak much more on that I will ask the first Presenter to come we was going to We are at no will talk us about social forestry ambition in Indonesia so We're at no Please you like and I Think you have to come and make your presentation. I guess this one should go dear. Thank you. I Think it's easier here because you can see the screen there. Yeah, okay Talking about social forestry and the three slides and ten minutes It is about twelve point seven million hectare of state forest land consists of production forest and Protection forest will be distributed to the poor families villages around the forest and And forest dependence communities and we use the Proposed map And we got 13.4 million hectare that Ready to be distributed, but have to be very careful but President always mentioned have to be go to the right direction this is the Proposed forest map for Social forestry this never haven't never happened Since we are independent that there is a piece of land Proposed for the the poor people as you know that we have 74,000 villages across the country and 26,000 and 800 villages Located near or even in the state forest land That is why There is this there is a program since in fact since 2010 started and now becoming very big Program because at least for one year we have I have to distribute 2.5 million hectare It is not possible. Of course, it's a big a big program. I have to be honored and confess to you all but at least this area is Supported by a ministerial degree number 22 2016 and As you know here we have a production for us and Social forest for social forestry and then The area we thought again reform in the short Kalimantan West Nusa Tenggara, Lampung and Bali and community forest System mapped by JKPP Jaringan Kerja Pemataan Participative. This is from CSO We also adopt their mapping and area for social forestry and the process right now And also we map pit lane That free from permit meaning permit from Jakarta. It doesn't mean that in the in the field There is free from from occupation. That is problem the structure of Piaf you can see here the protection forest is 30% meaning if the community get the permit the permit is about 35 years and will be evaluated every five years 30% is under protection forest meaning that they can only use the non timber forest product and incremental services and if they got the permit in the production forest then they can Cut the trees, but they have to plant the trees first before cutting And we also have a 20% of partnership in the in the HTE plantation forest if there is a problem of there is occupation in the concession the minister of Ministry of environment and forestry my DG have a duty to develop or to facilitate a dialogue for the local community between community and the concession holders this is the the number that we achieve 0.6 million hectare already proposed for the local community across the country and then we gave 19 Almost 900 more than 900,000 hectare permit in the permit right now is Directly coming from the minister before the permit coming from the DG and from the governor and the bupati and We learn from that that only 20 to 25 governor and bupati They gave the permit to the to their community before the minister gave the proposed area for social forestry And then followed by governor and bupati Doesn't work. It didn't work. So we start with the new Regulation that they have we give the permit directly from the ministry of forestry so the the community proposed the the area and they will get help from Taskforce we we establish many taskforce at the provincial level to have community Sender the proposal also we start right now in the coming month online system for for Proposal of the community The key success of this program is How far we can facilitate the poor to manage the peace of forest land and this Social forestry area They cover from the tropical mountain forest to the lowland and We can see here Restoration of main group in Langkat. It's very successful Yeah, it is initiated by the local community supported by Wali by LBH and other partners and also in the right side is The hutan desa in Ketapang it is totally in the in the peatland area and it is habitat of orangutan. Thank you very much Well, yeah, don't don't leave don't leave so quickly. I mean sort of I think we Know it's not yet finished. I mean, I think we we do have some time for questions So if anybody has some question comments to make to power at no for the social forestry program We'll send the mic Yes, Ingrid Yeah, thank you very much As she said that the goal is the 13.4 million hectare and you said that so far of the two years I think you have distributed 1.7 So how is your plan and your vision the years ahead? How can we sort of all help and support? This to move forward. It would be nice to hear your plans and visions Title of this presentation is about ambition Social forestry ambition it is mission impossible. I said that This year the way be the first year that we can we can distribute One million hectare one million more than one million hectare until now we start we have 880 800,000 ingrid 800,000 why it is the process is Faster than before because the process is easier from the community They send the proposal directly to the minister and CC to governor and bupati before they need a recommendation from governor and bupati and it is very tiring and unpredictable Situation only 20 and 20 until 20 and 20 percent of bupati and governor helps their community To get the permit in the case of Haka M. Kema Saragatan getting permit from bupati and the permit they got 35 years of use right Yeah, and for Hutandesa 30 from the governor. So right now we don't need that The important thing is our team is the verification team from Jakarta and from our field office and helped by the task force at the province the task force is a multi-stakeholder Task force member coming from CSO and from from the governor staff and so on and At least in the next two years there will be more than four million hectare we cannot achieve 12.7 Something like a magic number But at least it is 10 percent of the state forest land We should consider 12.7 is the political statement that never happened because it is 10 percent of the state forest land We have right now is 120 million hectare of state forest land And in the second one is the structure of the permit Almost 85 percent permit goes to the big and very big concession That is the the problem we face right now that's why we we start with the The partnership and the concession because a lot of Concession like a real right now real Forest and real 30% is is controlled by the system. It is big scale What about the community and real that is the big question thing like this? Thank you Thank you, but I don't One more question or Yes, please Thank you, I'm topic from right This is great progress and I notice here that there will be four million and More a production forest Production and protection for us. Yeah, it's a production and protection, but more of them like four million 11,000 is production for us This is going to be given to communities What are the status of the forest right now is it conceded to other concessions currently or What is the condition of the forest? Are they already deforested and if it is then What will be the plan for empower communities to manage that for us and making the forest becoming Useful economically for them. So that would be my first question. The second is on recent realization of the licensing scheme from district and provincial government to central government it seems that it's going to be Easier because only one one kid one door one two minutes that but I just imagine that if we have like 500 Districts and there are millions of forest going to be granted to communities. What are the capacity of the ministry to manage licensing verification and everything it must be like endless job and And even it was before It was delegated to other Government office. It's still quite difficult. But now if it is going to be Absorbed and taken up by the central government It seemed that it's like you give yourself a lot of things to do So it could be slower than The plan, but I don't know maybe maybe something has been read. Thank you. You want to answer power at no Yes, yes, once we give the right This this map is already cleaned up from the All on the permit from the center from Jakarta. There is no permit at all from coming from Jakarta But we checked also this map to the government and bupati. Sometimes they give the license To the area where we never give the permit at all That is the problem. So we have to check this Also, we checked whether this map is belong is also the community our villages Interested in in getting the permit And after the getting the permit we have to help the community and so far it is supported by the CSOs Before and after permit the community need a support of facilitation on how to get the market how to develop agro forestry system and and so on and so forth and There are many success story, but still Scatter and at a small scale What we think is we have we have to be I have to confess that we need to find and strengthen the networking like local University yeah Like in Lampung the rule of Unilla is very important in developing this social process program also in the role of UN ULM in South Kalimantan in developing agro forestry To to solve the problem of grassland. It's very successful with the rubber Agro forestry beach agro forestry and there so there is a need it is that is why it is a collective Program, it is a collective action. So whoever Whoever interested in this program is to join and help us. It is not a program of the government and We don't want to use this project. This is a movement and this is a new way of looking at this Forestry how to manage the forest in Indonesia Thank you. Thank you very much by Verano. It's very interesting and Precious issue of social forestry. I think we are going to move to the next speaker. Thank you very much Who is nobody else than or Terry Sunderland if I'm not mistaken And I Will move the path so that he can use the because I have it seems that I have created some problem and Terry will speak about forest food and nutrition eventually Thank you Robert and thanks for the switch Good afternoon, everybody. It's a real joy to be able to share a work on forest and food security Not quite the nascent theme that it was a few years ago, but we have generated a lot of evidence on the links between forest and food security and at the end of the talk I'll acknowledge the work of the team involved But basically I'm going to provide an overview of the work that we do and some of the evidence that shows Some very nice neat linkages between forest and food security both at the direct provisioning level But also in terms of ecosystem services the first some some background information if you like so we're Fully aware that a lot of people rely on forest and food security forest or other for Consumption and income in some way forest dependence is is defined in many many different ways And we want to make sure that we're not wholly Saying that 1.3 billion people rely on forest in in in in entirety in terms of their their income and food consumption But in some way there's a relationship between people forests income and food security Forests provide a very important safety net in times of agriculture. This is a choose particularly As we enter uncertain times with climate change and how that's affecting our tropical agriculture in particular The little wedges not working There we go. I'm going to gather all of them at once work that Robert has has been leading has shown that Meat and freshwater fish play a very important role in terms of micronutrients And also great contributions towards the nutritional diversity of many forest communities 75% of the world's Forest proximal people still rely on primary health care plants medicine for medicines and animal products for Direct health care, which is a very important number and much of that Primary health care has entered the mainstream if you think of Chinese medicine, for example So we're talking about a very high value and high efficacious means of primary health care We know that between 40 to 80 percent of the world's food in the tropics is grown in Small holder the systems which are particularly diverse and much more resilient our touch on that in a second in a later slide And one thing that we're very keen on promoting and this is where Collaboration with aircraft comes in very nicely is there's a long tradition of managing forests for food if you think of shifting agriculture for example agroforestry and trees on farms play a very important role in tree and another food product production And also I think another side I'm going to touch on is the issue of forest sustaining agriculture How do forests and trees play a role in supporting the agricultural systems that are all Used to earn a soap evasive here in the tropics So we know a lot about NTFP's non timber forest products We know that non timber forest products contribute significantly to the incomes and and dietary diversity of many many people as I Touched on the first slide Robert's work has shown this rather palatable Bought bucket of bushmeat and how important bushmeat the role of bushmeat in providing micronutrients and other important Vitamins and minerals that other NTFP's for example don't provide We know that people in forest basins Danos and Tyrum the Amazon And elsewhere in these large river basins that fish play a very important role in diets and food security What we don't know is how these are all linked and this is the the basis of a lot of the research We're doing at the moment is the effects effects of seasonality How does off-farm income influence the relative values of these particular resources? Agriculture and rights and access and I'll touch on rights and access in the last slide. It'll be my my last word So basically looking at those relationships and and how important they are and these actually change Given a particular landscape context So the evidence One thing that we were challenged to do we first started to work on forest and food security was to think about data It's all very well sang a NTFP's are important multiple forest use is important, but do we have data? so We undertook a very In-depth data analysis in Africa looking at 21 different countries Looking at the demographic health survey data from the USAID and overlaid that with MODIS Remote sensing data and found a relatively strong ish Correlation between dietary diversity and tree cover that was published in 2014 We also found that forest foods contribute significantly to all the food groups In many of the forest areas that we've been working in and that data was was basically Focused on the poverty and environment network database 8,000 households in 29 different countries. So fairly substantial amounts of data Generating the evidence that we're publishing And in Indonesia we found a nice correlation to in a nutrient transition particularly with conversion to oil palm the sort of pervasive paradigm is that Transferring oil palm Converting forest oil palm Allows a certain level of income to enter the livelihoods of many people, which it does no question The problem is is that that also drives a nutrient transition which essentially Transfers if you like a dietary simplification Away from a more diverse diet So people are actually relying on high-fat high carbohydrate foods And it's been called the indomitization of the diets of of Indonesia basically get moving to much more simplified Foods based on the availability of income In terms of forest sustaining agriculture, we've been doing some work on and everybody recognized that That particular structure Robert, can you It's the male flowers of oil palm now oil palm is a very complex Plan is Basically originated in West Africa, but it's first introduced to Asia. There were pollination problems with oil palm So oil palm had to be pollinated by hand and you can imagine how expensive and time-consuming labor-intensive this is in the early 1980s a team from Malaysia went to Cameroon and actually collected and propagated A beetle that which was responsible for the pollination of oil palm in West Africa Brought it to Malaysia and tested it in some of the plantations and yields increased two or three times the big issue with this Particular Euclosine beetle is it likes forest So there's a lot of evidence to suggest that the further away you get from forest pollination actually drops off And we're working with two or three oil pump companies With Doug shield and and and other People looking at what is that relationship? What is the optimum landscape configuration which optimizes pollination? But also make sure you have a reservoir a residue of forest within your plantations In terms of the work in silo as the Ravi mentioned during the poster session We found that in areas of higher forest cover pest control was actually greater healthier cocoa And again something that's that's has a great management implication Water regulation we're all fully aware of the watershed importance of forests and particularly for agriculture Work that we've been doing in Ethiopia, which I'll touch on in the last little quarter there Also shows us how important watersheds are for not only Tree crops but also for cereal crops in particular and here we are we're working with simit on the relationship between wheat yields and forest patches in southern part of Ethiopia and we're finding again that yields drop off significantly the further way you get from forest patches primarily due to climate regulation and again This is the relationship that we're building with simit to actually test what are basically The best landscape configurations in terms of forest trees and agricultural production So not basically putting all your eggs into one basket You only grow wheat and don't think about the forest is actually looking at much more agro ecosystem approaches to forests and food security So in terms of sort of more Holistic message. I mean look we've been sort of relegated about five or six slides here. I could talk about this for days Sadly, but some basically We're really promoting the fact that more diverse Agro ecological systems really do make a huge difference Both because of adaptability and resilience. That's that's also not only from the environmental perspective, but also the economic perspective So diverse systems tend to be much more economically resilient and much more environmentally resilient The ecosystem services function of forests and agriculture We've done a very extensive systematic review that's published Earlier this year which shows there are some very strong relationships and I've given you some examples here between forest trees and And agriculture and we like to term it as the forest sustaining agriculture in many respects and that's starting to gain traction The more evidence we generate Many of the other crop centers are starting to understand these linkages and we're talking about they are talking about systems approaches To to improve food security, which is a great difference and a great advance in many respects in the thinking for the last few years Managing landscapes on a multifunctional basis That's where as Robert mentioned the linkages between sustainable landscapes and food security come into play And I think that's extremely important in the way. We're thinking about these systems approaches And how we can integrate forests and agriculture and get away from the siloed mentality that's characterized both disciplines in the last 20 to 30 years But obviously we have to be somewhat sanguine nobody's saying forests and trees alone will Really supply the world's global food and that's not what we're saying at all But instead of being sidelined completely, we'd like to see forests and trees Integrated in much more holistic ways in achieving global food security There is a paradigm that I think needs to be challenged Linear understanding that more people equals more need for more food which results in further deforestation I think that needs to be challenged. I think we as an institution and as a Consortium particularly within FTA are in a very good position to challenge that paradigm And I think that's something that we'll think about as the next stage of our research rolls out And the final point I want to make is we're generating all this evidence that forests and trees are very important For food security. How does that play out in protected areas? How does that play out when we're showing that people need access to forests and trees? And the basic right to food which is in enshrined in many many human rights Declarations, how does that play out in the conservation arena? And recently I was presenting some of this work at USAID and this was extremely sensitive About the issue of access and the rights of food because if you've got that dichotomy between the need for Conservation which restricts access of the right to food which promotes access to forest resources I think I'll stop there, but I will ask the SLF team who are here and there's many of you here Just to stand up and take a little bow and a round of applause for all the workers this work represents a very good team effort, so Thank you very much. Thank you Thank you, Terry. I Think we can have one question There is one after this comprehensive presentation. If not everybody seems to have been mesmerized by Terry We can move into a totally different domain I would say which is the private sector and with a presentation about IKEA I don't know if you should say IKEA IKEA probably in Swedish. It's supposed to write with me IKEA and it's a mr Danang Ariraditya is going to present Okay, good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, my name is Danang Ariraditya. I'm working for IKEA supply as a wood supply and forestry specialist It feels great to meet all of you here in this very special occasion So this afternoon, I would like to share a little bit information regarding how we are in IKEA working with wood and forestry in general Why would because actually most of the IKEA products actually more than half of the IKEA products are made of wood So I think it's very interesting for me to share with you all How we work with wood and forestry Okay, so in IKEA responsible forestry is actually our norm Meaning that we go beyond our our needs for wood used in IKEA products Striving for responsible forestry to be our norm. So it's actually meaning that we are not only concerned about raw materials that goes only into our supply chains But actually we want to promote something that is beyond that that is actually we want to promote the responsible forestry for the better wood of the planets for the people and for the planet and actually By doing that we believe that we actually also contribute to end the deforestation and In IKEA we have our goal that all wood and paper used in IKEA is actually coming from the more sustainable sources in 2020 and actually first of September 2016 we even have our goal that When we are sourcing raw materials It's actually when it starts from the higher from the countries where it's considered as high risk for the illegal logging Everything must come from the more sustainable sources and what we define as a more sustainable sources is actually Forestry Waste Council or FSC certified or recycled wood We in order to achieve our goal actually we are working together with our partners in different parts of the world such as WWF and Rainforest Alliance For example with WWF IKEA have been contributing to the development of the 35 million hectares of FSC certified forests in different part of the world mainly in Russia China and in Romania and Then we are aiming actually for another 15 million hectares by 2020 when we are actually manufacturing and sourcing our Manufacturing the IKEA products actually we are Manufacturing in different regions in different part of the world such as in Southeast Asia and Actually, it's not us who manufacture our products actually we are working with our suppliers Meaning that the external wood processing company In IKEA we in Southeast Asia We are actually working with a lot of suppliers mainly actually in Vietnam and Thailand as the second country and then we are working mostly With Acacia, I think it's more or less around 42% of the total species used in IKEA products from Southeast Asia is actually Acacia and then the second species is actually rubber wood Main manufacturing countries as I mentioned is actually in Vietnam and also when we when we talk about the wood origin it's actually Also from Vietnam that becomes the biggest volume and Then also Thailand comes as the second country In IKEA, we are not using any wood from the natural forest or high-failu tropical timber We are always sourcing from the plantation and small hoarders land and Unfortunately, actually we are only sourcing a very small volume from Indonesia. I will talk a little bit more here in this in the next slide I talked before it's about What is actually Responsible for us management because this is also one of the most important factors of wood sourcing and then We see that actually FSC as a global certification scheme also playing an important role Because they are global. They are transparent. They are multi stakeholders and then they also get recognition from different Stakeholders and also the credibility. So we see that actually FSC is aligned with our in IKEA with forest policies forest positive strategy and We can see here that in Indonesia especially when we talk about plantation It's actually only limited number or when it we talk about FSC FM certified plantation It's actually we have a very small certified forest in Indonesia So this is one of the challenge for us to source domestic locally in Indonesia But on the other hand We also think that small hoarders are actually also viable part of the IKEA supply chains because small hoarders actually represents a Big proportion of the world's forest supply So in IKEA we determined to ensure that small hoarders become a Part of IKEA supply chain. They can still have access to IKEA supply chains and become a viable part of IKEA supply chain and We actually also work with different stakeholders with different organization in Indonesia in other countries how then to involve more stakeholders in our supply chain as well and Then the next one is also good governance, which is of course very important. We need Legislation to be in place and then we also need all stakeholders actually fully informed and then about the about the legislation and also the Government as well. We need that they also have to enforce the legislation and Then when we talk about the legality legality is also a prerequisite Before we start up our business with IKEA suppliers like for example when we have IKEA suppliers in Indonesia we always ensure that SVLK because it's also mandatory for Indonesia so SVLK is also part of the legal requirements when we are sourcing from Indonesia as well and Then yeah as at the end of this presentation I just want to say that we wish to source more FSC certified wood Because obviously we want to develop our wood business in Indonesia That's the clear message in in Indonesia as well We are actually planning to open up more stores for example and then globally also We also need also some volume from our region as well and Indonesia We see that we believe also that Indonesia can also contribute to our Business growth and on the other hand, we also want to have an enabling business environment to develop with business Indonesia So sustainability is number one on the other hand we need to ensure that we have a quality in place We have the stable Supply in place as well. We have a good Infrastructure as well. So that's it from my side. Thank you very much Thank you for that. I'm for this very interesting view of a big retailer I have one question if I if I can I thought of From the Indonesian perspective I mean sort of there may be only very few FSC certified Acacia plantation But there's a significant amount of FSC certified tick plantation There are also a significant amount of small older plantation in Sengon Parasariantes To which extent IKEA is willing to change some of his Type of wood that it is using in this process to get more wood from Indonesia Yes, if we talk about the Parasariantes or Sengon actually, of course, it's definitely It's very open that it can be also spacious in our supply chain. We actually use this spacious in the past But then the thing is that for this FSC certified Sengon in Indonesia is quite limited And then we actually our wood volume is huge when we talk about the volume. So we need more to develop this certified For example for Acacia, but actually we are also working with the different partners as well to actually to develop local spacious that has potential for growing and regarding the tick Actually, the thing is that tick We are not using high-fail tropical timber and then tick is considered as one of the spacious actually and then in IKEA We know that we want that the products is actually for the many people And then we at this moment we do not see tick as part of the IKEA range in the product because the price is one thing that is very very high I would say then when we talk about IKEA, it's actually we are not really on We are not really selling high-press and Product in his products. Thank you. I'm sure that probably right now We'll be interested to talk to you about the social forest three and the plantation from one question more for Yes Thank you. My name is the Dero Hardy. I am from C4 You know that you say that the small order is important in a care portfolio and What we know that certification for small order particularly, it's not very easy. So do you have? any strategy specific strategy to Progress more certification from small orders. For example, some companies are also supporting Certificate in process for small does do I care will have the same strategy. Thank you. Yes, actually, we are actively discussing with different our partners like FSE for example, we keep going Actually giving input to FSE regarding this small orders, for example to ensure that Because at this moment, we do not really see like small orders becoming part of the FSE certification I mean we compared to the large-scale plantation We see that small orders only hold like a very small portion of the FSE certified forest so we want to Emphasize this we keep actively discussing with FSE to give some inputs so that small orders can also be Certified under the FSE certification scheme But other than that actually as I mentioned before that because EKI is also a better everyday life for the many people So it's not only a big Player can take a benefit, but we want to ensure that All people in our supply chain also get the benefit So we seriously think that small orders should be also part of the EKI supply chain We are working with different stakeholders different organization like rainforest Alliance FAO as well To even though they are not part of the certification, but we want to define What is the criteria under the definition of let's say sustainable small orders land even though they are not going for FSE Certifications or any certification scheme, but still we can define ourselves with the support of other Organization that we are working together and then Next our call is that when we have this You know definition then we will include them in our definition of more sustainable sources Thank you very much Now we are going to have a presentation from another large manufacturing Packaging company Parisa from Tetrapak Indonesia is going to talk about company Hello. Good day everyone My name is Reza Andreanto and I'm the environment manager for Tetrapak Indonesia It is an honor to be here and representing my company to present Our company value with the title of leadership in sustainable business to all the audience So to start the presentations As some of you might already know that Tetrapak business has been here in Indonesia for more than 40 years Tetrapak brand promise is protects what good we protect people food and future Our founder has a powerful principle He said that a package should save more than it costs and This is really reflected in our use of paper as renewable resource and sustainable resource Which the main component of our packaging offering Therefore sustainability is our foundations Since the beginning of the business we drive environmental excellence Across our whole value chain with three main corporate objective So the first one is develop sustainable product as Our package are made from 75 percent renewable resource with ambitions to be 100 percent There is why we are committed to responsibly sourcing by using sustainability source Sorry, okay By using sustainability source paper boat and Aiming to achieve 100 percent FSC for rest servership console certifications second Increase recycling as we bring our global experience and try to apply it to local solutions by driving carton recycling initiative and technology transfers Recycling is not our main business But it is our business to make recycling works in Indonesia We work with three collection partners and two paper recyclers customers retailers government school NGO and other environmental partners In fact last year we have received an award from Forestry and Environment Ministry For the initiative in recycling programs and third Reduce our environmental footprint across the value chains By capping our climate impact at the level of year 2010 So we are part of the Paris place for actions to limit our global warming Impact and in addition we are also have committed to increase our renewable electricity Today more than 30 percent of our operations use renewable electricity and Aiming to be 100 percent across our global operations by the year of 2030 in fact We are the first company in food packaging industry with science-based target approved We commit to reduce greenhouse gas emissions In our operational by 58 percent in the year of 2040 and Reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 16 percent per unit revenue in 2020 So Innovations is the key to address new and emerging customer needs staying competitive and doing business in a sustainable way We take into account for social environmental and ethical considerations as well as cost quality and delivery time We are really working to minimize our environmental impact across the entire value chain So by supporting recycling We protect natural resources and reduce climate impact So that's all my presentations to learn more about our sustainability business. You can visit our website in www.tetrapec.com Thank you Thank you Paris A few questions maybe I have one of these sort of in Indonesia What's what's the part of the paper that you are using that is sourced locally and from where? Okay, thank you for the questions In Indonesia We have been here for more than 40 years as I said in the beginning, but there is no Converting factory. This is what we call in using the terminology for the one that Producing the packaging material that finally supply to customers. So We are open to any Supplier for example, it is our paper board that supply to our converting factory. So The nearby location of the converting factory is in Singapore and also in Vietnam Of course, our company also thinking for more beyond than years ahead So probably there will be probably there will be a chance in having converting factory for example in Indonesia as for of the food Wood forestry product it will depend on the system that they implement as long as it can fulfill our requirement with the highest quality standard because in the end it will need to fulfill the product for the food safety so That is why in also answering why we are using the FSC as the certification standard because it is an independent and also globally Key stakeholder promoting and also providing the certifications Thank you Daniel, it's C4 in all your products you use plastics Elements as well. How do you calculate your carbon footprint for this component? Okay? Thank you for the questions, but I might not answer your question in very detail level So I will try my best to elaborate it Of course, there are around 20 to 25 percent of the other than pepper board Base component. It is a polymer and also aluminum so this is also our cool to achieve as the one that I said in the beginning 100 percent renewable Product or renewable Component so of course we have some formula Not just in our operational, but also across the value chains in having some certain of standard for the global gas greenhouses Emissions and also for the climate impact. That is why we are approved Among the workshop in UN and also other key stakeholder for the science-based target approved This is why we are trying to reduce our climate impact in the environmental reducing the environmental footprint Thank you. Thank you, Paresa Yeah now we are Moving into the issue of bioenergy and Ibu Sonia for me Going to talk to us about this. Thank you very much Robert. Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen It's really a pleasure to be here to share with you the information and the summary of the bioenergy workshop that we organized jointly between the Swedish energy Agency C4 and also IKRA last February So this was the title of the workshop is the developing science and evidence-based policy and practice of bioenergy in Indonesia Within the context of sustainable development. So the co-organizer was two national Agencies which is from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry and also ministry of an energy and mineral resources Together with Swedish energy agency with Paul and team With Ibu Ingrid from IKRAF and Dr. Himlal Parar from C4 also another university Kittie edge, which is the Swedish University this was happening in 14 of February in 2017. It was well attended by private sectors by the government people by academicians and and others So Basically just like Pat Virat now mentioned This one for the national energy policy is also an setting an ambitious target in 2014 the target was 23 23% of the total energy will be coming from new and renewable energy by 2025 if we see the trend up to now basically we are not sure how this will be achieved by the 2025 Within the groups at that time We identify the challenges for wide implementation and uptakes of bioenergy Of course, the first one is the high financing and Investment requirement which is not yet not quite yet there yet And then the guarantee of availability of feedstock also Infrastructure for example electricity grid is not there yet and then also there's some knowledge kept there There's because of the lack of integration between research and industry as well as other stakeholders in energy development And then very importantly regulation and policy are not very much Accommodating yet and then as part of the supply chain There are still lack of clarity in land tenure and special planning. So there are several sort of issues For Pushing this bioenergy into wide implementation. It's the supply chain partly is because of the land tenure and then an issue of value chain because of the Infrastructure is might not be there yet and also financing basically is a big problem And then there are several enabling factors that are necessary to be there We identified at that time financing in instrument is necessary including low interest loan for pay energy development subsidy for biofuel Special allocation fund for rural energy development profitable business models and others and then We also identified that incentive is a key factor Incense incentive system can be promoted by Government to producers through mechanisms where all factors involve get benefits and then several opportunities to be sought There are three particular Factors there the first one is commitment from the government required fund long-term research and development on by energy and then potential for aligning by energy technology with existing oil refinery that is there yet So it's not completely Developing a new system, but also aligning with whatever existing and then last but not least. I think this is also Related to what we did not state earlier potential to utilize degraded or marginal land for biomass product production that can reduce pressure on arable land and Native forest so basically social forestry can play a big role in term of Interfacing this with bioenergy So what are the ways forward in the short or medium term? in 2017 there's already per press Praturan president 22 On ruin, which is master plan of energy at the national level rencana umum energy national and within that ruin It's also mandates provinces to develop what they call roulette rencana umum energy Daira Which is their master plan of energy at local original level several of provinces are there already? starting to develop that but some of many of the provinces still are On the process capacity is still need to be built in term of developing a good master plan and then We also see in the short medium term Sustainability or sustainability of palm oil based biofuel need to be promoted in particular competition with food security needs to be addressed and Then bio develop biofuel development through sustainable land use and governance needs to be promoted and then The last one which I think is very important is efforts for ensuring energy security should be part of green development at sub-national level so basically developing or identifying by energy options along with green growth planning that take into account development local development needs resource availability Potential suitability for tree and crops land use and forest governance should be there as part of the entire medium medium term plan at the regional level and This will lead to For the provinces to be able to develop some micro indicators for jurisdictional performance I'll just take an example from Satsumatra here. So basically they are at the field the polygons small polygons is village villages in province of Satsumatra the dark polygons basically are those area where Access to great electricity at the village level is very low Yeah, so you you see there There are areas where certain villages which is very lack of Access of great electricity are clumped together. There's about 311 villages has more Than 20% of households with no access whatsoever to electricity and also there is high Coincidence partially between areas with low land use profitability Remoteness with low access to electricity. So we did the green growth plan master plan that we developed together with the local partners with the government in the in Satsumatra province We we try I don't know whether you can see that clearly But we we try to identify the areas which are suitable for particular bio energy species Which are also? Coincidence with land that is available there and also with the areas where There are still lack of electricity access to electricity. So in particular we saw there are Several species there that are quite potential in this area. They are Rumput, Gaja or or penny setum Purperium is identified to be Potential there their potential for Nipah and Sagu. There's some potential for bamboo for electricity potential for Nhamplung and also those area where some party rice cultivation is quite large rice bio energy from rice straw is also Being seen as being potential so having this in part and identified in term of you know in the in term of Indicative map such like this basically can be used to develop the master plan for Ruin for the master plan of energy And also can the performance in term of how it contributes to green growth how it contributes to development how it actually contributes to environmental impact can be Messured at the jurisdictional level. So I think within this mainstreaming this into a medium development plan actually Then would be able to promote bioenergy to to the implementation stage and here are the workshop recommendation at the at the at the short term basically from the point of view of evidence-based Policy yeah, the first one is we suggested that the workshop with multiple stakeholder Participants is necessary to be taken place as soon to seek ideas on bioenergy development and the roadmap Including in increasing capacity at the provincial and local level In developing master plan and then piloting and then the second one is bioenergy fund supported that Government in the long term should be there to actually accommodate the link between Industry and also research and Technology and then the third one is research consortium or partnership in the long term should be there Yeah, so to foster national industry for producing equipment and materials and then the last one is Demand assessment for bioenergy, which is still a big question mark at the moment needs to be research I think that's all Robert. Thank you very much. Thank you We have one quick question for No Thank you. And our last speaker for today. I mean for this part of the seminar is Fiery is going to talk to us about pitland matters Thank You Robert. Good afternoon everybody. I'm going to Share with you what we did last Thursday on GLF Global Landscape Forum on the topic call it the Pitlands matter that conducted in May 18 in Jakarta In the GLF pitlands matter we Basically discussed three things first as a why pitlands matter the second one is the science behind pitland and The last one is making progress with pitland. That's the Why pitlands matter first as the it is source of life not only for human being but also for plants and animals the second one is a Pitlands provide food water and even livelihood for million million of people surrounding the globe and Also as you look at these as a orangutan it is home for threatened species orangutan this is a picture actually coming from South Kalimantan data orangutan losing habitat due to forest conversion to Welcome there and the last one Why pitlands matter because pitland play a critical role for climate change mitigation very very important to understand the role of pitland in Climate change mitigation and action reducing Climate change so the science behind pitland this medicine is pitland is a black gold for climate change mitigation because Stalking lot a lot of carbon is ten times compared to the Mineral soil if we don't understand the role of pitland then it's quite difficult then to Mitigate a climate change The second one is people and pit we also talked a lot last week How many people how their livelihood of people depend on pit says it is good to conserve a pit but also as a in some area pit becoming a Economic sources for people people planets are good there people also Doing a well pump on pit so how to understand this the livelihood of People on pit so we discussed a lot we have we had Communities to express their voice their interest on pit Also, not least in Indonesia during 2015 the fire disaster That killed 19 people is a 43 million of people exposed to smoke haze and Billion billion economic loss due to fire what bank estimated as sixteen point one Billion US error loss because of fire in 2015 So how we Aware of this kind of of science behind the pit if we don't care Don't taking care of pit then it could become a disaster for us And also we during the GLF pit lunch matter we talk Discuss about the financing sustainable pit management because as important as understanding without Good financing then the sustainability of pit is quite difficult to achieve and also every day is we almost we only work with a local community then the The impact the the scale is not as big as we also working with those who understand the financial mechanism This is the there's School children who exposed to fire in 2015 this This I took with my own camera in in Bengalis in Rio in last March 2015 when the the pit has already Provided a smoke to us and The last one during the GLF pit plan matter call it making progress here we I talked about Indonesia In particular forces is important to to understand that the partnership between public private and people is much because here in the top BRJ Spanish here He was with us. It's 2.5 million hectare of pit land need to be restored It needs a lot of money and I involved in the government Creation of what we call grand design for fire prevention We need a 3 billion US seller for 3 years in order to restore the pit land as a lot of money So it is impossible that the government alone Can provide money in the sorry Can I give back my presentation, please? In the bottom is the call it the fire prone villages With that 10.5 million hectare that also need to be handled correctly. So both we need to As I mentioned earlier 3 billion US seller. So partnership is a must the second one is a through the incentivizing for people particularly smallholder to practice agriculture without burning But again, so we need to money to incentivize them at least and also we talked about the infrastructure development something like a canal blocking in order to to wet under the pit because Restoration is simply needs Rewetting of the pit we need to refigiate that the pit as well as the economic development also law enforcement law enforcement is a key a lot of judge jays a lot of our people police sometimes do not really understand very well the The law About environments that we need to strengthen the law And the last one the policy measures so in Indonesia we when I said debuting a lot of the beating between private sectors and you know academic academia on the government regulation number 57 2016 on the quality of pitland ecosystem Protection and management so they debuting how to use a pitland Yes, it is debuting between the interest of conservation from a lot of NGOs and also the interest of economic development coming from not only a larger enterprises, but also smallholders how to combine how to harmonize those interests also as important to to underline the But also as a being huge debate in Indonesia on the EU parliament resolution even Terry mentioned that forest sustaining agriculture But Indonesia received the consent from EU that well palm is threatening the rainforest is Well palm and deforestation of rainforests. It's nice the government tried to Put appropriate the response to the EU parliament Just a lot.

This paper presents a novel approach for generating vector maps of road networks from images and trajectories. It combines the advantages of both data sources to improve the accuracy of road network detection and reduce the number of errors in the generated vector map. The proposed method was tested on two datasets and achieved higher accuracy compared to other existing methods. This article was authored by Shundong Bai, Shuyu Feng, Yuanyu and Yin, and others.


The NBA All-Star Game this year is in Cleveland. The Cleveland Cavaliers? They're pretty good. Since Evan Mobley's the rookie, we'll let him focus on rookie of the year. It might not be at the point yet where they can send two guys to the All-Star Game, so between Darius Garland and Jared Allen, who's most deserving? DeMar DeRozan being counted as a guard hurts Darius Garland's case as it relates to backcourt competition. You have DeMar DeRozan, Trey Young, James Harden, Zach Levine, Lamello Ball, Fred Van Vliet, Drew Holiday, Jalen Brown, Tyler Hero, you see where I'm going with this. At the same time in the frontcourt, Jared Allen's competition is not as steep once you get past the starters, who will likely be Yannison to the Kung-Fo, Joellen Beat, and Kevin Durant. Jimmy Butler should get in, even though he's missed some games, and Jason Tatum probably gets in as well. From there, Jared Allen probably is the guy. On a playoff team with an elite defense, Jared Allen leads the team in a lot of advanced metrics, which I could elaborate on, but we only have about a minute. Ultimately, it's a numbers game. Both guys are deserving, but I think Allen should get the bid here. Chances are we still see both of them at All-Star Weekend because do you think all guys are going to be healthy at the break?
