☀ 🎤 About Paul Bartley’s Podcast

🌏 Recycling and reusing solar photovoltaic (PV) is challenging because separating the individual components, such as glass, silicon, metals, wiring, and plastic, is difficult as they are integrated in such a way. In addition to environmental issues, there are economic viability issues related to recycling and reusing solar PVs. Paul Bartley is doing his PhD at UniSA. In his PhD, he looked at the current financial viability and legal framework for recycling and reusing Solar PV.

📖 Paul will educate us on product stewardship programs and current & future Australian legal to support the recycling and reuse of Solar PV in the podcast and international scenario.

🐟 Cause of marine life destruction: Facts and Figure

🐠Globally, Key Marine Biodiversity Areas are included under the MARINE PROTECTED AREAS. In 2000 the figure was 30.5%, and in 2019, it increased to 46%.

🪝Ocean acidification increased from 10 % in 2015 to 30% in 2019.
Ocean acidification, coral reef loss, and marine habitat are directly linked.

🪝Modern industrial fishing techniques, including damaged fishing nets left out in the marine habitat, are some of the biggest threats to marine life. Every year, more than 300,000 small whales, dolphins, and porpoises die from entanglement in fishing nets.

🦈🪝What is Bycatch?

🦈Bycatches are unintentional or incidental capture of non-targeted species. More destruction of marine life happens every day due to Bycatch.

🦈Significant effect of Bycatch on the ocean environment
Dolphins, marine turtles, seals, seabirds, sharks, juvenile fish, fish with little commercial value, corals … billions of unwanted animals are caught annually by fishing boats and discarded dead into the ocean.

🪝Bycatch is a waste. Many millions of tonnes of marine life get wasted every year as Bycatch.

🦋📊What is Biodiversity Finance?

📊Biodiversity finance is a growing area of Green Finance.

📝It is defined as finance that contributes or intends to contribute to activities that conserve, restore, or avoid negative footprints on biodiversity and nature caused by people.

🐼For a project to be eligible for biodiversity finance, the project must be consistent with the criteria for Green Bond and Green Loan Principles, and it needs to contribute either to SDG-14 or to SDG-15.

🐛What constitutes biodiversity or nature-related investment activities?

🐤To be considered as biodiversity or nature-related investment activities, it should address one of the following drivers of biodiversity loss:

🍎a) to change land use – from agriculture, unsustainable forest management, urbanization, industrial developments, and transport networks.

🍎b) to stop over-exploitation and unsustainable use of nature.

🍎c) to stop pollution from nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorous) and other pollutants from industrial, mining, and agricultural activities as well as air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, untreated urban and rural waste, and plastic pollution.

🍎d) to mitigate climate change

🍎e) to stop the spread of invasive species

🐾 What is wildlife crime?

🐼 Wild Life crime is harvesting and trading contrary to national law. Between $48 to $153 billion of resources are lost due to the illegal Wildlife Trade.

🦏 Trade of Rhinos Horne – The Greatest Wildlife Crime

🦏 Today, only about 27,000 rhinos remain in the wild, whereas in 1973, this figure was 70,000. Nowadays, very few rhinos can survive outside national parks and reserves because of poaching and habitat loss.

🦏 The average wholesale price of whole rhino horn is about US $ 18,881 per Kg. The average wholesale price of real and whole rhino horn is about US $ 18,881 per Kg.

🐘 Illegal Trade in Ivory

🐘 Wholesale prices for illegal ivory in China over the years were US$ 750 per Kg in 2010, US$ 2100 per Kg in 2014, US$ 1100 per Kg in 2015, and US$ 728 in 2018.

🐘 Ivory prices paid to poachers in Kenya and Tanzania were between US$148 to 95 per kg in 2014, US$ 88 to 78 per Kg in 2016, and US$ 54.5 to 40 per kg in 2018.

🐾 Trade of Animal Bone – A Wildlife Crime

🦁 Only 23,000 African lions are left in the wild. Wild lions are mostly found in Africa, except for a small population in the Gir Forest National Park in India.

🦁 In China, lion bones are used for medicinal purposes or as a tonic (in the form of bone-strengthening wines). Lao, Thailand, and Viet Nam legally import Lion Skeletons from South Africa.

🐯 Illegal Trade of Big Cats – A Wildlife Crime

🐯 Illegal trade and Habitat loss are the biggest threats to Cheetahs. About 6,674 of the adult Cheetah population is left in the wild. The Maasai Mara ecosystem is home to approximately 25% of Kenya’s wildlife. It hosts over 95 mammal species and is a recognized Important Bird Area (IBA) with 550 bird species.

🐯 In the United States, no federal law prohibits possessing and selling big cats and exotic pets, including tigers and lions.

🐯 In the US, privately owned commercial facilities crossbreed big cats, with some generating over US $ 1 million per year.

🐼 Different Actors of the Wildlife Crime Network:

🐾 Coordinator: controls or organizes a trafficking network.

🐾 Courier: physically sends parcels or transports animals.

🐾 Domestic Trader: deals in the domestic trade of animals.

🐾 Transporter: transports animals domestically for a fee.

🐾 Money mule: receives funds on behalf of the coordinator.

🐾 Overseas trader: illegal exporter.

🐾 Poacher: hunts and traps live animals on behalf of the coordinator.

Sustainable Development depends on the quality of natural resources and Biodiversity to meet social and economic developmental needs.

● SDG 15 focuses on “Life on Land”: to protect, restore, and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems; to sustainably manage forests, combat desertification; to halt and reverse land degradation; and finally, to halt biodiversity loss.
● SDG 14 focuses on the “Life below water,” intending to conserve and sustainably use our oceans, seas, and marine resources for Sustainable Development.

However, only 7.8 % of SDG targets directly quantify natural resources. 8.2% of SDG targets measure the conditions for natural resource protection. 84% of SDG targets measure socio-economic Development. In addition, a recent trend suggests that only one-third of countries are on track to achieve their national biodiversity targets.

The United Nations has designed two dedicated goals to conserve and protect Biodiversity:

● SDG 14 focuses on “Life on Land”: to protect, restore, and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems; to sustainably manage forests, combat desertification; to halt and reverse land degradation; and finally, to halt biodiversity loss.

● SDG 15 focuses on the “Life below water,” intending to conserve and sustainably use our oceans, seas, and marine resources for Sustainable Development.

📢SALAM MUMBAI…

In the global forums the Climate Change agenda has eclipsed the biodiversity loss issue. Both policy agendas are interlinked and need urgent actions.

Simply put, human cannot survive without biodiversity.
Animals and plants provide us with fresh water, food, and medicines. However, humans cannot get food, water, medicines from any single plant and animals, we need a collective diversity of plants and animals to gain all these benefits from nature. An estimate shows more than half of the world’s GDP, approximately $44 trillion of value added.

Hence, our natural environment is fundamental to our economics, health, and climate change mitigation and adaptation plans. However, human economic activity is causing biodiversity loss at an unprecedented level.

Why Ocean is IMPORTANT to our life?
 97% of Earth’s water is in the OCEAN.
 50 to 80% of Oxygen is produced in OCEAN.
 Human produces CO2 and 30 to 70% of CO2 captures in OCEAN
 90% of Excess Heat is Absorbs in OCEAN.
 3 billion people depend on marine and coastal biodiversity for their livelihoods.
 80% of international trade in Goods carried by Sea.
 $24tn is the valuation of BLUE ASSET.
