Biodiversity is the variety of animals and plants life in a region.

It also affords us a "life support system."

Ecosystems and  habitats are made up by biodiversity in sustaining the fundamental living resources.

With biodiversity:

• Our soil is enriched,
• Our water is purified,
• Our ecosystems are composed.

 ★  Consumption

★ habitat destruction + wildlife trade

★ ecological overshoot ★

How is it Connected to Climate Change?

Animal Death resulting from extreme weather; shelter = destroyed

Extreme climate change

Rapid and extreme climate change ->affects ecosystem and species’ ability to adapt therefore biodiversity loss increases.

• the food chain on which we depend, water sources, medicine may change , recede or disappear .

<-Water pollution

How can we drink?

3 main pressures on biodiversity:

• land use changes
• industrial pollution
• Global climate change

It will affect animals such as polar bears because it's hard for them to adapt new weather and it may cause death.

What are the social, economic and environmental impacts?

•   Human affect biodiversity by:

These changes can affect individual species negatively and cause a reduction in biodiversity.

 It is necessary for humans to begin to alter their conduct.

What are we doing about it?

*achieve a reduction of current rate of biodiversity loss at levels: 

-national level

as a contribution to poverty relief and to the benefit of all life on Earth.

What else are we doing about it?

Some people are trying to prove that: 

-income through biological preservation = possible!

-conserving biodiversity = bigger income generation 

http://www.flickr.com/photos/george_eastman_house/2871166780/

What should we do to improve it?

• Reuse Recycle Reduce
•  Tell others  à  Awareness  à  starts from education
•  Use environmentally friendly products
•  Not drive car; avoid idling, use public transport more often
• Using less electricity/plastic 
•  Buy sustainable seafood

Take Public transports

Buy sustainable seafood

Ways to keep our ocean alive:

At restaurant or at home:

• choose fish which are sustainable {avoiding endangered like Bluefin Tuna or Northsea cod}

The single biggest threat to the overall health of the marine environment and its ability to support life on Earth.

Biodiversity Biodiversity is the diversity of life forms in an environment. Biodiversity is an important indicator of environmental health. Both evolution and extinction account for the biodiversity on Earth today.

Marine Biodiversity

What are the 3 LEVELS OF BIODIVERSITY? • 1. Ecosystem Diversity • The variety of ecosystems within a region. • 2. Species Diversity • The variety of species within an ecosystem. • 3. Genetic Diversity • The variety of genes within a given species. • Every individual organism is distinguished from every other organism by the differences in their genes.

Measures of Species Diversity • An estimated 10 million species inhabit the Earth today. • How does a scientist measure the species diversity at a local or regional scale? • Species Richness • Species Evenness Species Diversity is dependent on these two factors.

Species Richness • Species Richness is the number of species in a given area. • It is used to give an approximate sense of the biodiversity of a particular place.

Species Evenness • If a scientist wanted to know relative proportions of individuals within the different species, then the scientist would use…species evenness. • Species evenness tells whether a particular ecosystem is numerically dominated by one species or whether all of its species have similar abundances. • High species evenness: Its species all represented by similar #’s of individuals. • Low species eveness: 1 species is represented by many individuals and others are represented by few individuals. • FIGURE 4.3, page 84

Homework • What is the difference between species richness and species evenness? Why are they both important? • Biodiversity exists at three scales. What are they? Define each.

If all we rely on is a small number of species for our essential needs, why should we care about the millions of other species in the world?

“Value” of a Species • Instrumental Value • The species has worth as an instrument or tool that can be used to accomplish a goal. • Idea of how much economic benefit a species brings to humans. • Lumber • Pharmaceutical drugs

“Value” of a Species (cont.) • Intrinsic Value • The species has worth independent of any benefit it may provide to humans. • Example: The moral value of an animal’s life • This value can’t be quantified.

Ecosystem Services • The instrumental value of ecosystems lies in Ecosystem Services. • Ecosystem Services are the benefits that humans obtain from natural ecosystems. • Example: Agricultural ecosystem’s ability to produce food • Example: Wetland ecosystem’s ability to filter and clean the water that flows through • Can be assigned monetary values by economists

Biodiversity results from Evolution • Evolution: A change in the genetic composition of a population over time • Evolution depends on genetic diversity. • Evolution occurs at multiple levels. • Microevolution: evolution below the species level • Macroevolution: process when genetic changes give rise to new species, or to new genera, families, classes, or phyla

Genetic Diversity • Review: Genetic Diversity is the variety of genes among individuals of species. • Genes determine the range of possible traits (physical or behavioral characteristics) an organism can pass down to its offspring. • Genotype is the complete set of genes in an individual. • Genes you posses that code for eye color make up a part of your genotype. • Phenotype is the actual set of traits expressed in an individual. • Color of your eyes

What creates Genetic Diversity? • Mutation • If there is an occasional mistake in the copying process of DNA, then the mistake produces a random change in the genetic code. This change is a mutation. • Note: DNA is copied as cells divide and grow. Happens millions of times during a lifetime. • UV radiation from the Sun can cause mutations. • Mutations can be passed on to the next generation when they occur in cells responsible for reproduction • Most mutations are detrimental, Figure 4.4. • Sometimes a mutation improves an organism’s chances of survival or reproduction. • Recombination • Rearrangement of genetic material

Homework • Cornell notes, pages 86 – 90. • For the cornell notes, you will create 8 questions and answer each of them in complete sentences.

Evolution • Evolution occurs in three ways. • Artificial selection • Natural selection • Random processes

Artificial Selection • Artificial selection • When humans determine which individuals breed • Artificial selection is a way humans influence evolution. • Humans breed plants and animals for desired traits. • Example: Different breeds of domestic dogs were bred from the wolf by humans, Figure 4.5 on page 85. • Carefully controlled breeding • All dogs remain a single species. As a result, they can mate with one another and produce offspring.

Natural Selection • Natural Selection • Environment determines which individuals survive and reproduce. • The concept of evolution by natural selection did not become a theory until Alfred Wallace and Charles Darwin independently made sense of the idea species could evolve over time. • Darwin questioned why only a small fraction of all the species that had once existed had survived. He also questioned why only a small fraction of offspring produced in a population / year survived. • Led to him developing theory.

Natural Selection cont. Darwin’s Theory of Evolution 1. Individuals produce an excess of offspring. 2. Not all offspring can survive. 3. Individuals differ in their traits. 4. Differences in traits can be passed on from parents to offspring. 5. Differences in traits are associated with differences in the ability to survive and reproduce.

Natural Selection cont. • Natural selection favors… • Any combination of traits (adaptations) that improves an individual’s fitness. • Fitness: individual’s ability to survive and reproduce • Examples: Adaptations that allow plants to survive and reproduce in a particular environment. • In the desert  plant’s ability store excess water; evolved waxy or hairy leaves that reduce water loss; large taproots

Random Processes • Evolution can occur by nonadaptive processes. • Mutation • Genetic Drift • Bottleneck Effects • Founder Effects

Random Processes cont. • Mutations: The larger the population, the more opportunities there will be for mutations to appear within it. • The # of mutations accumulates over time = evolution occurs • Genetic Drift • A change in the genetic composition of a population over time as a result of random mating.

Random Processes cont. • Bottleneck effect • A reduction in the genetic diversity of a population caused by a reduction in its size. • Low genetic diversity in a population can cause several problems. • Increased risk of disease • Low fertility • Causes species to decline to extinction • Example: Cheetah has little genetic diversity due to bottleneck effect 10,000 years ago.

Random Processes cont. • Founder effect • Colonizing individuals will give rise to an island population that has a genetic composition very different from that of the original mainland population.

Homework • Find an example of the following random processes. • Genetic Drift • Bottleneck Effect • Founder Effect • You may use the examples in the book.

Range of Tolerance • All species have limits to the abiotic conditions they can tolerate. • Extremes of temperature • Humidity • Salinity • pH • Individuals will die if conditions move beyond the range of tolerance. • The suite of ideal conditions = the fundamental niche, Figure 4.8, page 89 • The range of abiotic and biotic conditions under which a species actually lives = realized niche

Species evolve adaptations to specific environmental conditions.What could happen to the species when there is a change in those environmental conditions?

Species Extinction • Species that can’t adapt to changes or move to more favorable environments will eventually go extinct. • 99% of the species that have ever lived on Earth are now extinct. • Avg. life span of species about 1-10 million years • WHY DO SPECIES GO EXTINCT?

Species Extinction cont. • 1. It may not be geographically possible for a species to move to a favorable environment. • Polar bear depends on sea ice (a vital habitat for the polar bear) • Allows to hunt seals • Rising global temps melts sea ice 3 weeks earlier in the Artic since 20 years ago • Male polar bears weigh on average 150 lbs. less than 30 yrs. ago

Species Extinction cont. • 2. A species may go extinct when the change happens so rapidly that the species doesn’t have time to evolve new adaptations. • Much of what is known about the evolution of life is based on fossils. • The fossil record has revealed 5 periods of global mass extinction. • Environmental Scientists apply the lessons learned to help predict the effects of the environmental changes taking place today.

SIXTH MASS EXTINCTION • Scientists have reached a consensus within the last 20 years that we are CURRENTLY experiencing a 6th global mass extinction. • Will 2-25% of species go extinct by 2020 as scientist believe? • There is an agreement among scientists this mass extinction has human causes. • Habitat Destruction • Overharvesting • Intro of Invasive Species • Climate change due to human activities • Emerging diseases

Levels of Complexity • Scientists study nature at the following levels of complexity. • The Individual • A Population • A Commmunity • An Ecosystem • The Biosphere

The Individual • Natural selection operates at the level of the individual. • The individual must survive and reproduce. • Natural Selection: Individuals better adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce more offspring.

A Population • Evolution occurs at the level of the population. • Population: A population is composed of all the individuals that belong to the same species and live in a given area for at a particular time. • Evolution: A change in the genetic composition of a population over time. • When scientists study populations, they also study the factors that cause the number of individuals to increase or decrease, Population Ecology. • Populations are dynamic (constantly changing,. Figure 4.12, page 91. • Decrease in population size due to emigration and deaths • Increase in population size due to immigration and births

A Community • A community incorporates all of the populations of organisms within a given area. • Communities exist within an ecosystem. All of Earth’s ecosystem’s are incorporated in the biosphere.

Community Ecology The study of the following interactions that determine the survival of a species in a habitat... • Competition • Predation • Mutualism • Commensalism

Competition • Competition is the struggle of individuals to obtain a limiting resource. • Limiting resource: a resource a population can’t live without, and which occurs in quantities lower than the population would require to increase in size • When two species have the same realized niche and are under a given set of environmental conditions, one species will perform better and will drive the other species into extinction. • Taller wildflowers obtain more of the available sunlight, therefore dominant in farm field • Competitive Exclusion Principle: Two species competing for the same limiting resource can’t coexist.

Predation • Predation is the use of one species as a resource by another species. • Who might be a predator? • Organisms of all sizes may be predators.

Categories of Predators • True Predators • Typically kill their prey • Consume most of what they kill • Lions °< Gazelles • Herbivores • Consume plants (prey) • Typically eat a small fraction of prey without killing it • Parasites • Live on or in organism (host) they consume • Tapeworms in the intestine • Pathogens: parasites that cause disease in their host • Viruses, bacteria • Parasitoids • Organisms that lay eggs inside other organisms • When eggs hatch, larvae consume the host from inside out, leads to death of host • Certain wasp, fly species

Mutualism • Mutualism benefits two interacting species by increasing both species’ chances of survival and reproduction. • Example: • Plants and their pollinators (birds, bats, insects) • Pollinator: A pollinator is the biotic agent that moves pollen from the male anthers of a flower to the female stigma of a flower to accomplish fertilization • Plants depend on pollinators for their reproduction • Pollinators depend on plant for food

Commensalism • A type of relationship in which one species benefits but the other is neither harmed nor helped • Examples: • Birds using trees as perches • Fish using coral reefs as places to hide from predators

A Symbiotic Relationship • A symbiotic relationship is the relationship of two species that live in close association with eachother • Commensalism • Mutualism • Parasitism

Review • Table 4.2, page 99 • Competition negative effect on both of the competing species because competing for limiting resource • Predation positive effect on predator, negative effect on prey • Mutualism positive effect on both interacting • Commensalism no effect on one species, positive on the other species • These interactions can affect the abundance and distribution of species in communities. • In most cases a given species has an effect on a small number of other species, not on the community. However, sometimes…

Keystone Species • One species may be more important and vital to the health of a community. • Exist in low numbers • May be predators, prey, mutualistic species, or may provide an essential service • In class: Read p. 100, Paragraph 2

Homework • Read pages 91, 92, 97-100 • Answer Gauge Your Progress, page 100 • What is it about the beaver that makes it an example of an ecosystem engineer?

Ecosystem Engineers • An ecosystem engineer: A keystone species that creates or maintains habitat for other species. • Example: • Beavers have a critical role in the forest community. • Build dams that convert narrow streams into large ponds • This creates a new habitat for pond adapted plants and animals • Ponds flood forest causing trees to die, which creates a habitat for animals that rely on dead trees • Several species of woodpeckers and ducks make their nests in cavities of dead trees

Change that occurs in communities • Ecological Succession • Replacement of one group of species by another group of species over time • What factors determine the number of species in a community? • Read pages 102-103

Patterns of Species Richness • Species are not distributed evenly on Earth. • Species are organized into biomes by global climate patterns and into communities whose composition changes regularly as species interact. • The number and types of species present within a given region are determined by… • Colonization of the area by new species • Formation of new and distinct species due to evolution • Losses from the area by extinction • Importance of these 3 basic processes varies by region but is influenced by latitude, time, habitat size, and distance from other communities

Conservation and Management

The students must be able to identify ways we could help conserve the Philippine Biodiversity.

Conservation

The students must be able to assess the current situation of the Philippine Biodiversity.

The students must be able to identify what makes an area diverse.

Identification

The following are the objectives of this discussion:

The students must be able to learn what biodiversity is and differentiate its varying levels.

Diversity = Variety

From Greek bios which means life. Bio means "life" or "biological" which pertains to living organisms or their constituents.

From Latin word diversitas which means variety or difference. Pertains to the difference between two or more things or kinds.

Etymology of Biodiversity

Biodiverstiy is the variety of life in our natural environment – from the smallest microorganism to the largest mammals, including the ecosystems where they live – forests and mountains, rivers and seas.

Biological Diversity

The time we now live is sometimes refer as the “anthropocene.”

The UN has proclaimed 22nd of May the International Day for Biological Diversity

Includes variety of animals, plants, fungi, and even microorganisms.

Coined by biologists in the 1980s as a contraction of biological diversity.

Biodiversity can be broken down into three different levels of diversity: Genetic, Species, and Ecological Diversity.

Levels of Biodiversity

self sustaining collection of organisms and habitat

Ecosystem Diversity

usually measured in terms of the total number of species.

Species Diversity

The genes are responsible for the uniqueness of every living organism

Genetic Diversity

A genome is the complete set of genetic material (i.e., DNA) of an organism.

Biodiversity includes the genes that every individual inherits from its parents. Genetic variation determines the extent to which individuals can adapt to their environments, is extremely important to their survival.

GeneticDiversity

In a healthy ecosystem, diverse and balanced number of species exist to maintain the balance of an ecosystem.

Species diversity is defined as the number of different species present in an ecosystem and relative abundance of each of those species.”

SpeciesDiversity

Interspecies Diversity

Intraspecies Diversity

Intraspecific diversity refers to the genetic variation of individuals and populations of the same species.

Interspecific biodiversity is variation that occurs when comparing individuals of differing species.

Types of Species Diversity

An ecosystem is a collection of living and non-living organisms and their interaction with each other.

Ecological biodiversity refers to the variations in the plant and animal species living together and connected by food chains and food webs.

EcologicalDiversity

How to play:.

• In round one called Fact or Bluff, the players will be given an question to answer
• The players have to decide whether the statement given is a fact or a bluff

Are you ready?

Fact or bluff.

The planet's highest levels of biodiversity can be found in the tropics

Fact or Bluff

There are three different reasons which explain why there is species richness in the tropics.

Temperate regions were subjected to glaciations during the ice age, while tropical regions remained undisturbed which led to an increase in the species diversity in this region.

Tropical regions have less seasonal variations and have a more or less constant environment. This promotes the niche specialization and thus, high species richness.

Tropical latitudes receive more solar energy than temperate regions, which leads to high productivity and high species diversity.

Many common drugs we take are from plants and other living things

Agriculture never has any negative effects on biodiversity.

MeasuringBiodiversity

The greater the variety of alleles that exit for a particular gene, then the greater the genetic diversity. This means that there will be greater variation of the feature controlled by the gene.

Measuring Genetic Diversity

Locus is the gene's position on a chromosome (like a gene address)

Genes are code for proteins found on chromosomes.

Alleles are a different form of a gene. Varies slightly from another.

Perform the calculation

Substitute the values to the formula

Substitute Values

Species Evenness refers to the measure of the relative abundance of the different species making up the richness of an area.

The number of species per sample is a measure of richness. The more species present in a sample, the 'richer' the sample. Species richness as a measure on its own takes no account of the number of individuals of each species present.

Edward H. Simpson

Species Evenness

Species Richness

Simpson's Diversity Index is a measure of diversity which takes into account the number of species present, as well as the relative abundance of each species. As species richness and evenness increase, so diversity increases.

Simpson Diversity Index

Born on December 10, 1922 and died on February 5, 2019. Edward H. Simpson CB was a British codebreaker, statistician and civil servant. He was best known for describing Simpson's paradox along with Udny Yule.

Measuring Diversity

There are three varieties of Simpson's Index

It involves the calculation of species evenness

It involves the calculation of species richness

Developed by Edward H. Simpson in 1949

Simpson's Index (D) measures the probability that two individuals randomly selected from a sample will belong to the same species. There are two versions of the formula for calculating D.

Multiply the population number to n-1

Multiply Population

Subtract 1 to each species' population

Count the number of population per species

Get Population

Analyze the community or sample given

Simpson's Reciprocal Index

Substitute Σn(n-1) with its value from the table

Substitute Σn(n-1)

Substitute N with the total number of organisms.

BiogeographicFactors

Species distribution patterns are based on biotic and abiotic factors

No species exists everywhere

As you go north, you would notice gradual changes in plants.

It is concerned not only with habitation patterns but also with the factors responsible for variations in distribution.

Biogeography is the study of the geographic distribution of living things and the abiotic (non-living) factors that affect their distribution.

Philippines Nature's Superpower

Habitat corridors between parts of a fragmented habitat can connect disparate regions to improve genetic diversity

Habitat Corridor

Ecology at the edges of ecosystems is different from central areas

Edge Effect

The following are possible Biogeographic Factors that may affect biodiversity:

Larger habitats tend to promote biodiversity better than smaller habitats

Habitat Size

Importance ofbiodiversity.

• In the olden days, humans had over 10,000 species for food.
• Today – About 30 crops provide our body’s energy requirements; 40 species of mammals and birds domesticated for food; 14 species account for 90% of livestock production.

Biodiversity feeds the world

• Forests generate oxygen that we breathe.
• Forests and mountains provide aquifers - sources of water we drink.
• About 80 % of the world's biodiversity resources with medicinal values are in forests. (The world loses around 13 million hectares of forest cover every year.)
• Cone snail, living in corals, is source of medicine for cancer pain. (Around 88% of ASEAN’s corals are at risk.)

Biodiversity provides air and water.

Biodiversity heals

Biodiversity provides materials for clothing and shelter

Ecological Stability

• Livelihood (selling fish, fruits and vegetables; furniture making and wood carving; pearl farming; livestock raising and selling); Biotechnology, Pharmaceuticals and Ecotourism
• Around 80 % of ASEAN’s rural poor’s income is derived from biodiversity.

Biodiversity brings income

• Every species has a specific role in an ecosystem. They capture and store energy and also produce and decompose organic matter. The ecosystem supports the services without which humans cannot survive. A diverse ecosystem is more productive and can withstand environmental stress.
• Nature tripping
• Mountain climbing
• Bird watching
• Enjoying the beach or verdant forests
• Comfort in nature by simply looking at the green grass

228 Key Biodiversity Areas

Philippines has more than 52,177 described species, half are endemic.

Top 10 in terms of Endemism

Although one of the mega – diversity country, the Philippines is also considered as one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots

Although relatively small among the 18 megadiverse countries, the Philippines has the greatest concentration of unique species per unit area in the world.

Mount Makiling or Maquiling is an active stratovolcano located in the provinces of Laguna and Batangas on the island of Luzon, Philippines. It contains more tree species than the whole continental United States, which land area is 32 times bigger than the Philippines.

Mt. Makiling

The Philippines is SECOND in the world in terms of butterfly species endemicity. Of its 895 species, 352 are endemic.

Butterfly Species

Philippines is the EIGHTH in the world in reptilian species endemicity. Of its 258 species, 170 or 66% are endemic.

Reptilian Species

There are 171 species of amphibians in the Philippines, 78% of these are endemics.

Amphibian Species

Philippine Eagle

There 54 species of mangroves in the world and 40 species of these are found in the Philippines.

Drivers of Biodiversity Loss

Originally 1997 National Biodiversity Strategic Action Plan (NBSAP)

Philippine Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (PBSAP) is a strategic instrument, whose vision is that by 2028, biodiversity is restored and rehabilitated, valued, effectively managed

PBSAP2015-2018

Climate Change

Invasive Species

Overexploitation

Habitat loss is the thinning, fragmenting, or outright destruction of an ecosystem’s plant, soil, hydrologic, and nutrient resources.

Habitat Loss

Overexploitation (overhunting and overfishing) is the process of harvesting too many aquatic or terrestrial animals, which depletes the stocks of some species while driving others to extinction.

An invasive species is any non-native species that significantly modifies or disrupts the ecosystems it colonizes. It can drive native inhabitants to extinction, in the event that the former are able to successfully adapt within the new habitat.

Pollution is the addition of unneeded or harmful nutrients or substances to an ecosystem. In a polluted area the quality of food, water, or other habitat resources declines, sometimes to the point where some species must move away or perish if the pressure is too great.

Global warming is the long-term increase in Earth’s average air temperature over the past one to two centuries. It can refer specifically to such warming that is due to the influence of rising concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

To maintain life-supporting systems and essential ecological processes.

Sustainable utilization of species and ecosystem.

To preserve the diversity of species.

• In-situ Conservation
• Ex-situ Conservation

Biodiversity conservation is the protection and management of biodiversity to obtain resources for sustainable development.

ConservationandManagement

Organisms can evolve better and can easily adjust to different environmental conditions.

A large number of living organisms can be conserved simultaneously.

It is a cost-effective and convenient method of conserving biodiversity.

Certain protected areas where in-situ conservation takes place include national parks, wildlife sanctuaries and biosphere reserves.

In-situ conservation of biodiversity is the conservation of species within their natural habitat. In this method, the natural ecosystem is maintained and protected.

In-situConservation

Genetic techniques can be used for the preservation of endangered species.

The species bred in captivity can be reintroduced in the wild.

The animals are provided with a longer time and breeding activity.

There is less competition for food, water and space among the organisms.

Ex-situ conservation of biodiversity involves the breeding and maintenance of endangered species in artificial ecosystems such as zoos, nurseries, botanical gardens, gene banks, etc.

How can you conserve the biodiversity in your own way?

Biodiversity Conservation

Research the plants and vegetables that are local to your area and grow a variety. Each plant and vegetable helps to protect biodiversity and supports the wider ecosystem of your local area.

Plant local plants, trees, and vegetables

Human impact on the earth can have a devastating impact on biodiversity. Small steps like keeping to walking paths, and not stepping through flowers or crops, can help protect what is growing there.

Fresh bodies of water are essential to biodiversity. Reducing the amount of water you use, by having a 5-minute shower or not running the water when washing up the dishes, can help protect vital wetlands. Plant scientists are also working to help conserve by developing crop varieties that use less water.

Protect Natural Habitats

Recycling lessens pollution by decreasing energy, electricity, and water consumption and the need for landfills. Not only can you recycle bottles and cans, but your local recycling center will usually allow you to recycle clothes, electrical goods and batteries.

Conserve Water Use

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Conserving on our own Ways

Conserve water Use

Educate yourself and those around you

We need to understand that natural resources are not only essential for us but are also vital for the survival of other species. We must thus utilize only as much as we require them so that these remain available in abundance in nature for future use.

Avoid Wastage

Know the Source

• Plant Trees
• Host a Cleanup
• Grow a Community Garden
• Help Out Wildlife

Participate in Environmental Programs

Educating people about the importance of biodiversity conservation increases public awareness of the issue. As public awareness increases, people become more involved in caring about their environment.

Check the products you buy and the companies you support to ensure that your buying habits are not contributing to destruction of habitat elsewhere.

Presentation on 1 July 2024 in Berlin: On Diversity and Technology

Laura schelenz is nominated for the german thesis award 2024 by the körber foundation.

Researcher at the IZEW Laura Schelenz was nominated for the German Thesis Award 2024 by the Körber Foundation. She will present her dissertation in the last round of the award process with fellow nominees on 1 July 2024 in Berlin. Lauras dissertation “Diversity, Technology, Power: An American Black Feminist Approach to Studying and Designing Diversity in Relation to Contemporary Technologies” was completed successfully on 6 December 2023 (magna cum laude). The dissertation critically examines diversity concepts and norms that are applied in computer science and technology development. Due to well-known problems with discrimination through artificial intelligence and other technologies, diversity is increasingly being incorporated into technology development. This sounds good at first, but is this approach always beneficial? Drawing on Black Feminist theory, the dissertation criticizes the fact that computer science uses binary and flat concepts of diversity (e.g. male vs. female). Cases such as facial recognition, personalization and recommendation systems, and the design of a European platform show that an unreflective approach to diversity can promote rather than minimize discrimination. The dissertation presents ways in which diversity can be (historically) contextualized and incorporated into technology development in a reflective manner. It contains recommendations for computer scientists, but is also relevant for policymakers and users of technology. Supervisors: Prof. Dr. Astrid Franke, American Studies Department at University of Tübingen; Prof. Dr. Daniel Gatica-Perez, Social Computing Group at IDIAP, EPFL in Switzerland

Health Equity Fact Sheet

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is committed to ensuring health equity is embedded in an all-of-public health approach to overcoming persistent health disparities and health inequities across a range of population groups that disproportionately experience poor health outcomes. In April of 2021, CDC declared racism a serious public health threat  that directly affects the well-being of millions of Americans and, as a result, affects the health of our entire nation.  As part of that commitment, we developed the agency’s CORE Health Equity Strategy resolving to create comprehensive health equity science, optimize interventions, reinforce existing partnerships and create new ones, and enhance our workforce engagement. Then, we embarked on an agency-wide strategic process to make sure health equity, and the elimination of health inequities, are central to the work we do and that every center, every division, and every program are advancing these efforts.

CDC’s CORE Commitment to Health Equity

Launched in 2021, CORE is CDC’s first agency-wide health equity strategy and CDC’s umbrella framework to transform its work by engaging and challenging every part of the agency to incorporate health equity and diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and belonging (DEIAB) as a foundational element across all of its work – from science and research to programs and from partnerships to workforce. CDC strives to move beyond naming differences through “markers,” such as race, to identifying and addressing changeable “drivers,” such as housing, neighborhood conditions, and access to health care.  CDC’s 18 Centers/Institute/Offices (CIOs) developed a health equity action plan, which has been integrated into a comprehensive and unified agency-wide strategy.

CDC’s CORE Commitment to Health Equity stands on four key pillars: cultivating comprehensive health equity science; optimizing interventions; reinforcing and expanding robust partnerships; and enhancing capacity and workplace diversity, inclusion, and engagement.   CDC’s health equity strategy builds on the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to advancing equity, combating discrimination, and supporting communities who are underserved, as described in Executive Orders 13985 , 13988 , 13995 , and 14091 .

Health Equity Accomplishments

CDC works to ensure health equity is embedded in an all-of-public health approach to overcoming persistent health disparities and health inequities across a range of population groups that disproportionately experience poor health outcomes in the way we conduct our science, gather and analyze our data, develop our workforce and work with our partners. Provided below are examples of achievements and advancements as a result of our commitment to embedding health equity into our overall approach.

Partnerships to Advance Health Equity

• In 2023, CDC launched a health equity partnership network in collaboration with the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) and the National Association of State Offices of Minority Health (NASOMH). This network, the Power of Partnerships , mobilizes health equity partners within local Offices of Minority Health, Offices of Women’s Health/Maternal and Child Health, community-based organizations, and non-governmental organizations and assists communities across the country with meeting local health needs, especially during emergency situations. Impact: Through this network, multidisciplinary teams engage to share information on implementing evidence-based practices and policies that advance the health and well-being of people who have experienced historical discrimination and oppression across jurisdictions.
• In 2023, CDC launched a series of health equity partnership webinars to bring together an intersectional collective of health equity organizations that focus on a range of populations including racial and ethnic minorities, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ individuals, and more. Impact: Public health and healthcare partners learn about and apply promising health equity strategies in their communities through these informative webinars. Since 2023, over 2500 partners have joined for sessions on the respiratory virus response season and health equity communications  – the series will continue throughout 2024.

Health Equity in Notice of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs)

• In 2023, CDC developed an agency-wide health equity Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) template and checklist resources with accompanying guidance that advises CDC Centers, Institutes, and Offices on how to embed health equity into non-research NOFOs. Impact : The new template and checklist help ensure that public health initiatives funded through CDC NOFOs include strategies that can reduce or prevent health disparities, including those experienced by minoritized and stigmatized populations. As of 2023, 100% of CDC’s new NOFOs contain the standard HHS-required health equity language. This has significantly increased the proportion of CDC public health infrastructure and capacity-building grants and cooperative agreements that explicitly address health disparities or social determinants of health.

Building Health Equity into CDC Science

• In 2023, CDC published an article on CDC’s Health Equity Science Principles which introduces health equity science as a conceptual framework to advance health equity and describes six principles to guide the development, implementation, dissemination, and use of effective health equity science. Impact: The Health Equity Science Principles establish an equity-focused scientific framework to guide researchers inside and outside of CDC looking to address equity through public health science. Leaders are applying these equity principles in public health surveillance, research, and evaluation.
• In 2023, CDC collaborated with multiple community partners through its Communities in Context program in the Greater Detroit, Michigan area to pilot a public health monitoring framework and track structural drivers of inequities at the local level in order to identify areas to improve community health. Impact: Communities in Context improves public health decision-making by identifying shared priorities for action and creating publicly-available and user-friendly resources that communities can use to support informed action.
• In 2023, CDC launched the Health Equity Science Manuscript Development Program, an in-service program that supports CDC scientists who show promise in advancing health equity through scientific projects. The part-time, six-to-eight-month program focused on health equity science involves mentoring and training in the development of impactful health equity scientific publications. Participants produce at least one peer-reviewed scientific manuscript focused on a priority health equity science issue and a related scientific presentation. Impact: The Health Equity Science Manuscript Development Program is helping to develop a cadre of scientists focused on establishing the evidence-base for programs and policies that advance health equity.

Developing Health Equity Leaders

• In 2023, CDC launched the Foundations of Health Equity Self-Guided Training Plan  on CDC Train, a website portal for public health workforce training. The Training Plan includes a suite of 13 self-guided on-demand training videos covering six health equity competencies to help individuals develop foundational knowledge and skills that are essential for public health work to advance health equity. Impact: The trainings are helping to build capacity among public health professionals to integrate health equity into their daily work. Over 600 professionals are currently registered for the training plan and evaluations demonstrate that the trainings are meeting professional needs and enhancing knowledge and skills in health equity.
• In 2023, CDC hosted a learning session for 275 scholars from the John R. Lewis Scholars Program , a CDC program which introduces undergraduate students to topics in minority health and health equity and supports their career development. Each of the seven funded CDC-institutions delivers a program with specific focus areas within public health and minority health. Exceptional Lewis scholars were also awarded the Williams-Hutchins Health Equity Award in 2023. Impact: The John R. Lewis Scholarship Program helps to build a cadre of new public health leaders who have knowledge and experience in health equity. Over 90% of student scholars report that their interest in public health increases after completion of the program and 77% report that the program influenced their career paths.

Health Equity Intervention Design

• In April 2023, CDC hosted an agency-wide webinar on health equity strategies used and lessons learned from a 12-month COVID-19 monitoring and evaluation study of seven local communities. Impact: Through this webinar, CDC offices were equipped with health equity strategies for responding to a public health crisis in real-time.
• In 2022, CDC developed the Health Equity Intervention and Action Principles  to outline critical areas of focus and consideration for CDC and external organizations to strengthen their structure, processes, and programs to advance equity. These principles are based on best practices and lessons learned in the design and implementation of effective interventions for communities that have historically been marginalized. Impact: The Health Equity Intervention and Action Principles establish an equity-focused framework to guide public health practitioners inside and outside of CDC looking to address equity through interventions and systems change. Leaders are applying these equity principles in intervention development, program implementation, and systems change initiatives.

Advancing Communication in Health Equity

• In 2022, CDC conducted message testing to learn more about what various audiences think, understand, and feel about the concept of health equity and ways to create effective messages for specific audiences. The message testing informed three communication principles  that help to switch the conversation from naming and quantifying health disparities to addressing health equity. Impact: Communicating using a health equity frame means focusing on creating a broader understanding of the social, structural, and systemic factors that may impact health outcomes.
• In 2022, to further advance communication about health equity, CDC developed a series of videos to explain health equity and related concepts , including social determinants of health, racism and health, and intersectionality. Together, this series of videos provides a more complete picture of what health equity is, why it is important to advance health equity as part of a complete public health approach, and provides a tool for public health practitioners, academics, and decision makers to use when explaining these complicated topics. Impact: The videos improve partners’ understanding of the meaning of health equity; the videos have been shared widely (near 100,000 views) since being uploaded in 2023.
• In 2021, CDC developed the Health Equity Guiding Principles for Inclusive Communication  to emphasize the importance of addressing all people inclusively and respectfully. The guide provides principles, resources, and specific suggestions about how to communicate with a health equity lens and addresses a variety of topics. This living document will be adapted as both language and cultural norms change. Impact: These communication principles serve to inform public health professionals within and outside of CDC ensure their communication products and strategies adapt to the specific cultural, linguistic, environmental, and historical situation of each population or audience of focus.

Health Equity Emergency Response Cadre

• During the COVID-19 response, CDC introduced a new position, the Chief Health Equity Officer (CHEO) into its Incident Management Structure to address COVID-19–associated health disparities in morbidity and mortality caused by systemic and structural inequities. Starting in 2023, the CDC Office of Readiness and Response ensures that agency-led responses include a Chief Health Equity Officer (CHEO) position or unit in order to address health disparities and inequities. Impact: The CHEO role has helped to ensure that health disparities data were examined and reported on to inform development of culturally relevant recommendations for populations more heavily impacted by COVID-19. Additional health equity roles have been identified as part of a response cadre and will be integrated into each CDC task force and unit to ensure standard implementation of the health equity strategy for future emergency responses.

CDC Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility (DEIA) Strategic Plan

• In 2022, CDC launched its Antiracism and Health Sprint Team to focus on strengthening institutional subject matter expertise and equity infrastructure as part of CDC’s DEIA Strategic Action Plan. Impact: The Sprint Team works to ensure that CDC operationalizes best practices for intersectional racial equity.
• In response to Executive Order 14035 on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in the Federal Workplace and the release of the Government-wide Strategic Plan to Advance Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in the Federal Workforce in 2021, CDC developed an agency-specific DEIA Strategic Plan to emphasize our commitment to developing a workforce and workplace that represents equity principles and furthers efforts to achieve our public health mission. Impact: This plan led to the establishment of one competency, “Diversity Equity Inclusion & Accessibility Management”, that has been identified as critical and has been integrated into the CDCs Career+ pilot.  Additionally, it informed the development and implementation of an employee DEIA training curriculum, convening of an annual DEIA-Equal employment opportunity forum for all employees, and increased participation in DEIA councils, CDC Organizations and Associations, Workgroups, and Special Emphasis Programs. The agency now annually recognizes the individuals, workgroups, and organizations facilitating DEIA via the DEIAB and EEO Workplace Equity Innovation Award.  We are implementing a diverse hiring panel tool to standardize and automate the way in which diverse resume review and interview panels are formed.  We aim to sustain a culture where our workforce has an enhanced social/cultural understanding of the communities we serve while also infusing Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility in all we do.

Select Public Health Interventions, Publications and Resources

• In collaboration with the HHS Office of Environmental Justice, CDC’s National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH) created and launched a website in 2023 for the Environmental Justice Index (EJI) and linked its data to NCEH’s Environmental Justice dashboard.  The EJI equips communities with data to identify and prioritize areas that may require special attention or additional action to improve health and health equity. Impact : The EJI ranks the cumulative impacts of environmental injustice on health for every census tract, allowing communities to better analyze the unique local factors driving impacts on health to inform policy and decision-making, and establish meaningful goals and measure progress towards environmental justice and health equity.
• The 2022 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) release included new data from the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) and Reactions to Race optional modules along with a technical guide on how to analyze data which can be used by public health professionals, decision-makers, researchers, and others to identify and address the social and structural factors that contribute to poor health outcomes and persistent health inequities. Impact: New data from the Social SDOH and Reactions to Race optional modules help identify multi-level drivers of health equity and standardized data elements and standards to inform development of public health program and policies to address inequities.
• CDC’s Division of Reproductive Health’s Hear Her campaign team partnered with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Minority Health (OMH) to develop materials focused on reaching and serving AI/AN women and their communities. Materials were released in 2022 and social media aimed at promoting these resources has thus far garnered over 16.5 million impressions. Impact: The campaign has led to accelerated scaling and implementation of evidence-based practices, policies, and interventions addressing health equity.
• The National Center on Injury Prevention and Control developed and promoted the health equity module of WISQARS in 2022. Impact: The new health equity module improved data analytics and visualizations to assist jurisdictions with examining factors that contribute to health inequities.

CDC’s Office of Health Equity

CDC’s Office of Health Equity (OHE) leads the agency’s efforts to ensure health equity is embedded in an all-of-public health approach. OHE strengthens the implementation of CORE through ongoing leadership, coordination, and collaboration in addressing drivers of health disparities and health inequities. OHE also seeks to reinforce and cultivate CDC Core Capabilities  in advancing health equity.

OHE advances the agency’s day-to-day work in health equity through:

• Strategy: Institutionalizing and aligning agency-wide initiatives to accelerate progress toward health equity.
• Funding: Expanding the integration of health equity in CDC funding.
• Partnerships: Increasing community engagement with populations that experience health disparities and health inequities.
• Public Health Workforce: Building CDC’s internal capacity of subject matter expertise in health equity within a workforce and workplace of diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and belonging.
• Science and Interventions: Implementing equitable, community-informed practices for advancing health equity in research, surveillance, evaluation, preparedness and response, and laboratory science.

Health Equity Resources

• CDC’s Health Equity in Action highlights the work of CDC and CDC-funded projects that use culturally appropriate methods to reduce health disparities and advance health equity. The project snapshots real examples of how CDC is integrating equity into all that we do – addressing drivers of health disparities, bringing together partners from various sectors, and enhancing workplace diversity – to ensure all people have an opportunity to be as healthy as possible.
• CDC’s Conversations in Equity , is a collection of blogs dedicated to increasing awareness of health inequities. It includes stories on partnerships that address health disparities to ultimately achieve the vision of ensuring all people have an opportunity to live as healthy as possible.
• CDC’s quarterly health equity e-newsletter  where partners can subscribe to review perspectives and progress in the science and practice of health equity.

The hall at Presentation Senior School was filled with colour as students presented projects on EU countries and other cultures for a multicultural day as part of the Communicating Europe initiative.

Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Peter Burke visited, as he had worked closely on the project during his time as junior minister, when he had the responsibility for EU Affairs.

The Communicating Europe initiative provides funding to voluntary organisations, educational bodies and civil society groups and bodies for projects intended to raise public awareness of the role of the European Union, and improve the quality and accessibility of public information on European issues, at local, regional or national level.

Speaking to the Westmeath Examiner at the event, teacher Peter Kelly said the entire school “really enjoyed” working on the project. “The whole initiative is to educate people about the EU and inform the students and wider school community about the history and the benefits of Ireland’s membership.

“We put forward a proposal to be a part of the scheme and we were delighted that it was accepted. We initially decided to celebrate the enlargement of the European Union in 2004 and we then broadened the theme as we have such a diverse school, we wanted to celebrate that diversity in the school, so we decided we’d have a culture day.

“We have pupils from lots of different backgrounds in this school and our culture day was aimed at celebrating their heritage. Each class was given a country either from the European Union or of their own heritage and they could do a little project on that and present it in the hall. We were delighted to invite the parents and the wider school community to come in and have a look,” he said.

With the assistance of Minister Burke, the school secured funding to run the project and make the wider public aware of what they learned.

“We are grateful to Minister Peter Burke and the Department of Foreign Affairs, who provided funding for this initiative. It is an invaluable resource and the students learned a lot from the project,” Mr Kelly concluded.

How to engage gen z - the guide to inclusion.

• Share to Linkedin

Understanding and engaging Generation Z is crucial for any forward-thinking leader. Born between 1996 and 2010 (ish) , Gen Z is the first generation of true digital natives, having grown up with the internet and cell phones as integral parts of daily life. This cohort's worldview has been shaped by significant events like climate anxiety, the pandemic, and armed conflicts in Europe.

Embrace Digital Fluency

Gen Zers are extremely online, conducting much of their work, shopping, and social interactions through digital platforms. Leaders must ensure their companies are digitally fluent, offering seamless online experiences and AI chatbots that communicate efficiently and in a relatable tone. This includes everything from effective communication tools to robust e-commerce platforms and engagement via influencers, videos, and platforms like TikTok.

Foster Mental Health and Well-being

McKinsey reports that Gen Z faces an unprecedented behavioral health crisis, with the highest prevalence of mental illness among any generation. Leaders should prioritize mental health by providing resources such as counseling services, mental health days, onsite mental health support, and creating a truly supportive environment where employees feel safe discussing their struggles.

Mental health issues are particularly pressing, with 54% of Gen Z workers reporting they have experienced stress or anxiety that affects their work performance.

Create Purpose-Driven Work

Gen Z is known for their idealism and demand for meaning, community, purpose, and accountability in their work. They expect companies to have strong ethical stances and actively work towards social and environmental goals. We as leaders must clearly communicate our organization’s mission and values and ensure these are truly reflected in day-to-day operations.

A PwC study found that 44% of Gen Z are willing to leave their job if it doesn’t align with their values, making it imperative for companies to clearly communicate their mission and ethical stance. And according to a 2023 Deloitte survey , 77% of Gen Z are already actively involved in social or political causes. Leaders who ignore this risk alienating a significant portion of their workforce.

Have in mind also that over 70% of Gen Z consumers prefer to purchase from brands that demonstrate social and environmental responsibility, according to a 2022 McKinsey report.

Encourage Authenticity and Individuality

Authenticity is highly valued by Gen Z. They thrive in environments where they can be their true selves without fear of judgment. Leaders can foster this by encouraging open dialogue, celebrating diverse perspectives, and avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach to management. Being a role model by bringing their whole selves to work is crucial. This generation appreciates leaders who are transparent and genuine.

Leverage Their Tech-Savviness

Gen Z’s comfort with technology is a tremendous asset but also a challenge, given their shorter attention spans and multitasking tendencies. Leaders should leverage their skills by integrating the latest technologies into their operations and encouraging Gen Z employees to take the lead on digital initiatives. Providing outdated technology will not resonate with them; they expect cutting-edge software, tools, and hardware. This not only empowers younger employees but also keeps the organization at the forefront of technological advancements.

Promote Collaborative and Flexible Workspaces

Gen Z values flexibility and collaboration. Traditional rigid work structures may not appeal to them. Leaders should consider adopting flexible working hours, remote work options, and less control and reporting. Creating collaborative workspaces where ideas can flow freely will also resonate well with Gen Z, who thrive on teamwork and innovation. This might be the biggest challenge for any leader: to lead with freedom.

Regularly inviting a group of Gen Z individuals to the office to discuss ongoing projects and plans, and engaging interns, can provide valuable feedback and facilitate better engagement with this generation.

But you might still need a little help deciding if this is a suitable document for what you need. That’s why we’ve put together the most common questions asked about communications plans.

Q1. What is a communication plan?

A communication plan is a strategic document that shares coordinated, consistent and directed messaging for achieving a specific goal, such as managing a PR crisis or successfully launching a new product.

A communication plan can be printed, sent via email as a PDF or shared as a live online link. A well-structured and effective communication plan is the single most crucial factor of project management in any industry and for every use case.

Q2. What is the purpose of a communication plan?

The primary purpose of a communication plan is to deliver consistent information about a shared goal. It keeps everyone on the team on the same page about what needs to be done, how and when.

A communication plan solves many problems that teams usually face when there’s no clear direction for everyone involved. With a clear communication plan, everything is explained in detail and easy to follow.

All communication needs are laid out in detailed sections covering topics from goals and objectives to timelines and schedules . A communication plan brings together all the communication channels into one single document. From there, team members can spread out through relevant links and supplementary documents.

Q3. What’s included in a communication plan?

Every communication plan example is different, just how every project is different. But what remains the same across the majority of communication plans is the relevant and strategic information.

A standard communication plan includes sections like:

• Short and long-term goals for the project.
• A set of key messages to be explained in detail, separated into sections.
• Strategies for communication, both in-house and outbound.
• Details about the people involved in the project.
• A schedule and timeline for specific events, deadlines and reporting.
• Further communication methods.
• Specific instructions about your company’s communication process.
• Strategies for measuring success.

Apart from the list above, a communication plan must also include details pertinent to the specific project. If there are folders or systems that people need to access for the project’s success, list them and explain how to use them.

Q4. What is the first step in communication planning?

The first step in communication planning is to define the goals you and your team want to achieve. Outline both short and long-term goals so it’s easier to plan the project as pieces of a whole.

Following the goals, set the objectives. Explain how you plan to achieve these with the help of timelines, schedules, and tables. Include a list of involved stakeholders and links to further means of collaboration.

Q5. What are the key messages of a communication plan?

A communication plan’s specific key messages will depend on what you want to achieve and who your target audience is. Your key messages are the most essential communication points for any particular project.

For example, let’s say you’re creating a communication plan for a product launch. The key messages would cover;

• The goals and objectives of the product launch.
• The reason and story about why this product was created and what problem it solves for people.
• A timeline of pre-launch activities including who will be contacted for outreach and what information will be shared with them.
• What messaging and visual strategies to use for social media and advertising.

An excellent way to make sure all key messaging is clear is to add each one as an item in the Table of Contents.
