SUMMARY:IUCN Red Listing of the Atlantic Salmon by Dr Will Darwall
DESCRIPTION:In December 2023\, the Atlantic salmon was classified by the IUCN as ‘Near Threatened’ globally and as ‘Endangered’ within Great Britain. \nJoin our trustee\, Dr Will Darwall\, the lead author on this assessment\, as he explains everything you ever wanted to know about: \nwhat it means if a species is on the IUCN Red List\nwhat it means if a species is ‘threatened’\nthe Red Listing process\nwhat these two assessments mean for the future of Atlantic salmon. \nWill is currently the Tamara Landscape Partnership Scheme Manager. From 2002 – 2022\, he was Head of the IUCN Freshwater Biodiversity Unit\, Cambridge\, UK.  He has dedicated decades of his life to restoring water habitats around the world. \nThis event is a part of the Tamar Valley AONB – Tamara Landscape Partnership Scheme Tamar Talks series. \nPhoto credit: Charles Fleming

SUMMARY:Understanding and conserving salmonid populations
DESCRIPTION:Understanding and conserving salmonid populations in a changing world\, theoretical underpinnings and implementation. \n\nSpeakers: Dr Bruce Stockley\, Westcountry Rivers Trust & Professor Jamie Stevens\, University of Exeter.\n\n\nDate and location: January 16 2024\, 2pm-3pm. Online at:  https://www.youtube.com/@instituteforenvironmentalf4963 and Lecture Theatre 5\, Bennett Building\, University of Leicester\n\n\nSpeakers Bio:\n\nBruce Stockley is an applied river scientist who uses an evidence-based approach to conserve and restore the rivers of the South West of England.  He has a background in fisheries genetics\, morphological\, molecular and paleontological approaches to the understanding of ecology and evolution.  Bruce is currently Director of Operations at Westcountry Rivers Trust where scientific analysis\, Natural Capital approaches and engagement with communities all form equal parts in the protection and reversal of environmental loss in rivers and landscapes of the Westcountry.\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nDr Jamie Stevens is a Professor in the Department of Biosciences at the University of Exeter. He is a molecular ecologist and evolutionary biologist\, and his research focuses on the application of population genetics to explore questions in ecology\, management and conservation. In 1998 he was awarded a Wellcome Trust Biodiversity Fellowship\, whereupon he moved from Bristol to Exeter. Since then\, his research has focused on the use of genetic methods to address applied questions in fish movement and dispersal\, and he has led/co-led the genetic components of four major EU-funded projects developing genetic tracking of Atlantic salmon and sea trout. Most recently\, he has expanded his work to explore connectivity and gene flow in a range of corals and marine invertebrates; the results of these studies feed into the design and designation of marine protected areas.\n\n\n\nPlease register using either the QR code in the event image or by following the link: Understanding and conserving salmonid populations (office.com)

SUMMARY:Roots so Deep (you can see the devil down there)
DESCRIPTION:Can an underutilized way to graze cattle\, that mimics the way bison once roamed the land\, help get farmers out of debt\, restore our depleted soils\, rebuild wildlife habitat and draw down huge amounts of carbon? Cattle have been seen as eco-villains for a long time. What if they can help save us from catastrophic climate change? \n“Roots So Deep (you can see the devil down there)” is a 4-part documentary series all about inventive farmers and maverick scientists building a path to solving climate change with hooves\, heart and soil. \n“Roots So Deep” is guided by director and wrangler of scientists Peter Byck as he meets farmers on both sides of the fence – the folks practicing an adaptive way to graze\, and their neighbours set in their family’s generations-old method of doing things. Byck’s team of outcast scientists are measuring what’s happening on both sides of the fences – exploring if this adaptive grazing could help slow down climate change. \nOne question looms over the whole series: even if the science shows that the adaptive way to graze is better for the land and the farmers’ pocket books\, will the old school farmers change\, will they adopt a different method? Will they evolve into climate heroes and save us from the impending climate catastrophe? \nThis special screening will be showing parts 1 and 4 of the documentary. \nVisit this link to book your ticket.

SUMMARY:Community Climate Resilience Drop-In
DESCRIPTION:Would you like to help create local solutions to the impacts of climate change and improve flood resilience? \nRapidly Responding Catchments\, or RRCs\, are quick draining catchment areas (under 10km²) where surface run-off during high rainfall events can overwhelm small communities. We have identified East Budleigh as an RRC and would like to work with you to build your community’s resilience by co-creating innovative approaches such as Nature Based Solutions (NBS). \nJoin us for a drop-in session to learn more about the Upstream Thinking RRC project and how it can help your community be more climate resilient. Discuss your preferences and ideas on what is needed to improve East Budleigh’s Flood Resilience and learn more about the project interacting with our Augmented Reality table demonstrating how water can move though river catchments. \nThis work comes under the Devon Resilience Innovation Project (DRIP).

SUMMARY:Soil Health Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join the Farm Net Zero team for an evening of education and citizen science\, focused on improving soil health. \nCome on down to the thriving Loveland Commuinity Field for their second FNZ climate-friendly gardening workshop of the year. At this session you’ll have the opportunity to try out simple techniques to assess a range of soil health indicators\, alongside discussing the other actions participants are taking to reduce the carbon footprint of their gardening\, and how farmers in the region are addressing this too. \nWhat’s the link with climate change? Work completed by the Farm Carbon Toolkit has demonstrated that every hectare of land that raises its soil organic matter levels by just 0.1% (e.g. 4.2% to 4.3%) can sequester approximately 8.9 tonnes of CO2 per year . Healthy carbon rich soils also increase productivity\, drought resilience and biodiversity. \nPlease bring a small sample of your own soil (a trowelful) for testing! \nRefreshments provided.  \nFollow this link to reserve your FREE spot.

SUMMARY:Water and Climate Change: 10 Things You Should Know
DESCRIPTION:Join our Co-creation Specialist\, Dr Sarah Ward\, at this panel discussion to celebrate 25 years of Centre for Water Systems (CWS). \nHear four speakers passionately discuss the implications of our changing world on a key area. Climate Change and water are intertwined\, from flooding and drought\, to increased demand and varying quality. \nWe’re looking at the 10 key changes you need to know: what we are already experiencing\, alongside what to expect in the coming years\, and the positive ways scientists and engineers are building resilience. \nWe’re sharing the research behind the headlines\, with a particular focus on the work of the Centre for Water Systems at the University of Exeter. \nWe’ll examine the science behind attribution; is there evidence that individual extreme flooding events were affected by Climate Change? \nHow can we become more resilient in a changing world to extreme weather events and how does the artistic community work with scientists to communicate their work? \nCome along and join the conversation. \nThis event is in partnership with the Centre for Water Systems at the University of Exeter\, which is celebrating its 25 year anniversary.
