Best practice mechanisms for biodiversity conservation law and policy by Callum Brockett, Katie Woolaston, Felicity Deane, Fran Humphries, Ethan Kumar, Amanda Kennedy, Justine Bell-James

“…The literature demonstrated that when it comes to biodiversity conservation law, the concept of ‘best practice’ is elusive, and does not necessarily equate to a reversal in species decline. Further, most western countries utilise the same legal mechanisms (also known as policy tools) for biodiversity conservation, although some countries implement these laws more effectively than others. …”

Sorghum yield prediction based on remote sensing and machine learning in conflict affected South Sudan by John Karongo, Joseph Ivivi Mwaniki, John Ndiritu, Victor Mokaya

“…We use five Machine Learning (ML) techniques, including Random Forest (RF), Decision Tree (DT), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGboost), Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to predict 2021 end-of-season sorghum yield in conflict affected Upper Nile and Western Bahr El Gazal states. We computed correlations and the analysis revealed high variability in term of yield in the 2 states with an average sorghum yield of 366.03 kg/ha (SD = 292.29 kg/ha) and a strong positive correlation (0.75, p < 0.001) between cultivated land size and sorghum yield. …”
