This video depicts my dissertation entitled "The invention and adoption of conservation technology to successfully reduce the bycatch of protected marine species." Conservation technology is a device used to protect organisms or habitat. Bycatch refers to non-target organisms that are captured or harmed in the process of fishing. This research investigated two case studies: (1) the use of turtle excluder devices (TEDs) to reduce bycatch of sea turtles in shrimp nets and (2) the use of various dolphin conservation technologies to reduce bycatch of dolphins in tuna nets. By applying theories on invention, technology transfer, and diffusion of innovations, my dissertation yielded a best practices framework and invention and adoption theories specific for conservation technologies. The dance opens with aerial dancers. The suspended fluidity of their movements embodies swimming in the ocean. The swinging and dancing couples are sea turtles mating. In the wild sea turtles breed and nest in the same time and place that shrimpers fish and so the sea turtles can get caught in the nets and drown. This is depicted by the dancing trio as well as the aerial dancer. As the female sea turtle dancer leaves her mate to swim ashore and nest she is caught by the shrimper in gray and dies. In the case study the environmentalists really championed the cause of sea turtles, making it a national issue. The dance scene of the environmentalists mourning over the dead sea turtle and running in protest shows this. Even though sea turtle bycatch was a very controversial issue a few leaders from each stakeholder community were forerunners in seeking collaboration across sectors. This early collaboration is portrayed by the four dancers coming together and holding hands to stand up. Importantly, the other shrimp fisherman in the scene turns his back, symbolizing the early resistance of many shrimpers to sea turtle conservation efforts. Also, the other change agent sits on the floor symbolizing that many change agents were hesitant to get involved in the controversy. In the background the other environmentalists are moving, prepared and ready to engage in further action. After standing, the group of four move together searching for a solution to the sea turtle bycatch problem. Finally, the government scientist and the shrimper come together joining arms and legs to form a barred circle. This shape is reminiscent of a TED, which looks like a large grid from a charcoal grill and is used to selectively direct large things (i.e. turtles) out of the net while keeping small things (i.e. shrimp). This moment in the dance marks when a shrimper and government scientist independently and simultaneously developed the first prototype of a TED intended for consistent commercial use. This coupling also illustrates the important and interdependent relationship that government and shrimpers had in creating better devices in the subseqent. Next all the dancers move together forming the TED shape, illustrating one of the major conclusions from my research, which is that diffusion (i.e. peer to peer sharing) is a better method than technology transfer for encouraging adoption of conservation technology. The final scene is of a turtle encountering a net with a TED, using the TED the turtle is able to escape out of the net safely and swim away. There are many layers of symbolism in this dance. The dance portrays the sea turtle case study, but is also relevant to much of what occurred in the tuna/dolphin case study (in that dolphins were caught in nets, fisherman and government scientist each played crucial and interdepent roles in inventing conservation technology, and diffusion was the best method for promoting adoption). The music was a popular song in the 1980s, which was the central period for the case study. The music video for this song features a turtle couple as well as a young boy that adores his turtle. In my video, the tie-dye green dresses that the female dancers wear have long flowing sleeves, that represent their role of females sea turtles swimming through water. The tie-dye was used because it was popular in the early-1970s, a time that gave rise to important legislation like the Endangered Species Act that required that sea turtles be protected. For the other costumes it is the color that has meaning. Green=male sea turtles, brown=environmentalists, gray=shrimp fisherman, dark blue=government scientists, and light blue=change agents.

Visit www.desertelephant.org Ever wanted to volunteer your time? Human - animal conflicts are happening all over the world. In Namibia, desert dwelling elephants are in competition for natural resources with the human inhabitants of the northern Erongo and Kunene regions. Elephant Human Relations Aid (EHRA) is a project that was launched as a result of this conflict. EHRA believes that through assisting the human inhabitants in constructing protective structures around water points, educating community members about elephant behaviour, creating alternative drinking points for the elephants and promoting tourism in the affected areas, we can assist in alleviating the current pressure facing communal farmers. Thereby helping to promote the future of the desert dwelling elephant in harmony with the continuous positive development of the conservancies and their ideals. This video is a result of the time I volunteered with EHRA. . .

Established in 1977, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) is an international non-profit,marine wildlife conservation organization whose mission is to end the destruction of habitat and slaughter of wildlife in the world's oceans in order to conserve and protect ecosystems and species. Sea Shepherd uses innovative direct-action tactics to investigate, document, and take action when necessary to expose and confront illegal activities on the high seas. By safeguarding the biodiversity of our delicately-balanced ocean ecosystems, Sea Shepherd works to ensure their survival for future generations. http://www.seashepherd.org/

GoEco and the Israel Nature and Parks Authority (NPA) would like to invite international volunteers to join this exciting ecological project to assist with re-acclimation of endangered species and conservation of sea turtles in the biodiversity rich Carmel Biosphere Reserve in Israel. By the turn of the 20th Century, many larger animals that had once made their homes in the Eastern Mediterranean had disappeared from the landscape, largely due to large-scale hunting. The Carmel Hai-Bar (wildlife reserve) was established 40 years ago in the Carmel mountain range by the NPA to assist the endangered species that once thrived in the Eastern Mediterranean scrub forest to return to this region. The re-acclimation process has three main stages: First, the animals live in reproduction pens, which are built in a place as similar as possible to the environment into which the animals will eventually be released. During the second stage, the well-adjusted animals move into a larger penned-in area, where they acclimatize to the Carmel Mountain Range. The final stage is the release of the animals into the wild at the Carmel Biosphere Reserve and other nature reserves in Israel. The NPA also monitor and protect sea turtle nests along the coasts of Israel. As a volunteer in this project you will gain the opportunity to work for the preservation of these incredible species, while gaining practical conservational experience under the guidance of ecologists from NPA and the University of Haifa. Volunteers will stay in dormitories at the University of Haifa and will have the opportunity to explore this beautiful region. Trips will also be organized for the volunteers to Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and the Dead Sea.

These northern fur seal pups are training to become assistant researchers at the Vancouver Aquarium The University of British Columbia (UBC) Marine Mammal Research Unit, in collaboration with the Aquarium, is finding out why the northern fur seal (Callorhinus ursinus) population is declining in Alaska's Pribilof Islands. These pups are joining the Steller sea lions in this important, long-term study. The sea lions have been assisting in this research at the Aquarium since 1993. The success of the sea lion research program now allows for a study of the decline in population of the northern fur seals. "We know their numbers are getting smaller, but we don't have the data to determine why. Is their decline related to nutrition or is it associated with changes in the north Pacific as the oceans have become warmer?" asks Dr. Andrew W. Trites, Director of UBC's marine Mammal Research Unit. "We believe the six fur seal pups may hold the key to unlocking this ecological mystery. The pups are vital to the conservation of fur seals and will participate in studies that can only be accomplished with trained animals in a controlled setting." The fur seals are in this temporary holding area while they get used to their new home and are being closely monitored by the Aquarium's veterinary team. If you're wondering what part of the Aquarium this is, it's the area where the researchers conduct some of their work - you're getting a behind-the-scenes peek. The big blue round machine you occasionally see on the left is called the metabolic chamber and it calculates how much energy an animal uses up.

Wildlife is endangered by human activities as never before and species extinctions threatens the biosphere and our own future well being. Renowned wildlife biologist David Woodruff will illustrate the use of new genetic methods in the management of threatened and endangered species, and show how the process of genetic erosion in fragmented populations compromises the future of even protected populations.

Madagascar is unlike any place else on Earth. It has been separated from other land masses for almost a hundred million years. As a result, evolution there has proceeded along a separate track from any other region. The vast majority of plants and animals you will find in Madagascar are unlike anything you may have seen before. In western Madagascar, the Alley of Baobabs is one of those unique landscapes. The Alley is a major regional tourism draw. While tourists spend thousands of dollars on plane tickets, hotels and tours to get there, the people on whose land this marvel exists get nothing. In order to survive, local communities are raising water levels to expand rice paddies that increase the stress on the baobabs. Funded by USAID, Conservation International and the Malagasy NGO Fanamby are working to reverse this situation. They are developing a project to improve the competitiveness among small businesses involved in the tourism supply chain. This video invites you to learn more about the ecotourism project and to cooperate with the conservation efforts to save this natural treasure.
