Mr. Ratan P Watal, Member Secretary, Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister (PMEAC), Government of India, delivering a keynote address at the special session of the launch of the Global Innovation Index (GII) 2019.
Entitled "India’s R&D Expenditure Ecosystem", the session included the release of “India’s R&D Expenditure Ecosystem Report”.
The GII launch, hosted by the Government of India, took place on July 24, 2019, in New Delhi, India.
The GII 2019 ranks the innovation performance of 129 countries and economies around the world, based on 80 indicators. It is co-published by WIPO, Cornell University and INSEAD. The GII is the world’s premier tool for evaluating economies’ innovation capacity and performance. It is used by countries across the globe to better understand how to foster innovation among their populations, with policy makers using the GII’s findings and methodology in creative ways to advance innovation-led economic and social growth.

La forêt du Day, écosystème exceptionnel à 1.500 mètres d'altitude, forêt relique d'une superficie de 3,2 km² permet aux biologistes et botanistes d'étudier les profonds changements climatiques intervenus sur le continent… quand les montagnes du Sahara et de l'Arabie étaient encore recouvertes de forêts…
Les plateaux du Day laissent apparaître une véritable forêt de genévriers, d'oliviers sauvages, de buis et d'acacias. Les arbres morts tendent leurs bras blancs tordus, torsadés et habillés de lichens gris qui s'effilent en longue chevelure le long des branches (Day - Djibouti)
On October 6, 2022, at the Armistead Monument at Fort McHenry in Baltimore The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) hosted a press conference to celebrate the commencement of the Mid-Chesapeake Bay ecosystem restoration project, following a $43.1 million contract award to Coastal Design & Construction (small business designated) from Gloucester, Virginia.
Key officials included, Senior Advisor to the President and White House Infrastructure Coordinator Mitch Landrieu; Maryland U.S. Senators Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen; U.S. House Rep. John Sarbanes; Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works, the Honorable Michael Connor; USACE Deputy Commanding General, Maj. Gen. Richard Heitkamp; and Executive Director of the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT), Maryland Port Administration (MPA) William Doyle.
The Mid-Chesapeake Bay Island Ecosystem Restoration project, often referred to as Mid-Bay, is located adjacent to the islands of James and Barren in western Dorchester County, Maryland. The project is focused on restoring/expanding island habitat to provide hundreds of acres of wetland and terrestrial habitat for fish, shellfish, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and mammals through the beneficial use of dredged material. Habitat may include submerged aquatic habitat, mudflat, low marsh, high marsh, islands, ponds, channels and upland areas. The federal lawmakers have been urging funding for this project for many years prior to this key development.
The project develops a long-term strategy for providing viable placement alternatives that meet the dredging needs of the Port of Baltimore while maximizing the use of dredged material as a beneficial resource. Restoration of island habitat is necessary and valuable to the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem. In the last 150 years, it has been estimated that 10,500 acres of this type of habitat have been lost in the middle-eastern portion of Chesapeake Bay. Remote island habitat is valuable as resting and nesting sites for migratory and shore birds.
The Mid-Bay project includes restoration of 2,072 acres of lost remote island habitat on James Island and 72 acres of remote island habitat on Barren Island, using material dredged from the Port of Baltimore approach channels and the Honga River, respectively.
Every year, USACE dredges nearly five million cubic yards of material from the channels and anchorages serving the Port of Baltimore to maintain current depths and widths for safe navigation. Once the material is removed, it must be contained or disposed of in an environmentally conscious manner.
USACE received more than $80 million in funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to complete the design and preconstruction activities for this project, to include the first construction contract award.
Based on the current schedule, Barren Island may start to accept dredged material as early as 2024 with James Island accepting in approximately 2030, after sill and dike construction efforts to hold the material are completed at each location. The Mid-Bay project will provide more than 40 years of capacity to place almost 100 million cubic yards of dredged material, providing benefits to the Port until at least 2067.
Poplar Island, the ongoing ecosystem restoration project by USACE and MDOT MPA, wrapped up construction of an expansion effort in January 2021. The expansion provides substantial ecosystem benefits and additional dredge material capacity for the approach channels to the Port of Baltimore until 2032.

Phoenix humilis var. robusta
Highly variable species from location to location
ginates from up to 1800 m (6000 ft.) in the Western Ghats of India, and differs distinctly from the P. loureiroi distributed from Eastern India through the Himalayan ranges to Taiwan and the Philippines by being shorter and having more plumose and bluer leaves.

Not human spit!This is the nymph's(Immature) home.The baby secretes liquid and whips it into foam and stays inside.This to protect from predators and also extreme temperature fluctuations.Seen during rains.
A photo of bushes and a man-made bicycle rack. The difference in the abiotic component in this terrestrial ecosystem and an abiotic component in aquatic ecosystem is that the pavement (which is non-living) doesn't contribute to the life cycle of any organisms in this area. The bushes may help support the life of different insects and organisms by providing shelter and food.

Building a platform that communicates with your enterprise ecosystem to deliver context-aware intelligence has never been easier.
As the historical habitats of elephants in this ecosystem get reduced by more and more farms on the edges of the Maasai Mara Reserve. The elephants begin crop raiding which leads to conflict, which all too often results in the deaths elephants and sometimes humans and is sadly becoming the norm.
One amazing organization that is tackling this question of space and Human Wildlife conflict mitigation is the Mara Elephant Project (maraelephantproject.org/) and they could certainly use your help to plan for the uncertain future of these last remaining hyper-biodiverse ecosystems.
In this set of photos I watched a bull elephant being pushed out of the farms and back to the safety of the park. From hearing the landowners' point of view on the whole situation; some had lost 2/3rds of their year's work in a night, resolution to this planning issue is in dire need.
In the meantime, I send a hearty thanks to all the people working on these types of environmental issues around the world.
An international group toured Poplar Island yesterday to learn about how the island was created and its environmental benefits.
