World heritage forests: the world heritage convention as a mechanism for conserving tropical forest biodiversity

“…Brief papers analysing the following issues were prepared during the meeting and are included in this volume: (1) how much human modification of forests is consistent with World Heritage status, especially to dispel the myth that conservation objectives are best met by excluding people; (2) how to reconcile the interests of local people with the maintenance of the global values of the sites; and (3) how to establish scientifically defensible methods for detecting changes in the biodiversity of tropical forest sites to provide indicators for triggering adaptive management responses. …”

Gender-responsive design opportunities for bacteriophage therapy targeting Salmonella for adoption by Kenyan chicken keepers by Campbell, Zoe, Njiru, Nelly

“…Bacteriophage (phage) technology has the potential to prevent and/ or treat fowl typhoid, pullorum disease, and salmonellosis in chickens, kill Salmonella species on surfaces, and prevent food-borne illness caused by Salmonella species in humans. This gender-responsive study considers design opportunities for bacteriophage therapy, a veterinary product under development for the Kenyan context that uses parasitic viruses called bacteriophages (phages) to attack pathogenic Salmonella bacteria responsible for fowl typhoid, salmonellosis, and pullorum in chickens and foodborne illness in people. …”
