Biodiversity for Everyone's Life Biodiversity for Everyone’s Life Jointly organized by Miranda House, University of Delhi and Institute of Bioresources and Sustainable Development (IBSD), Manipur Date: 31August 2018 Time: 9.00 am to 06.00 pm Venue: Auditorium, Miranda House, University of Delhi Preamble This Conclave aims to explore Biodiversity from a multifaceted perspective, from scientific understanding to its conservation and expansion. It will pose two important questions: How do we make biodiversity an inseparable part of day-to-day life? How do we make biodiversity an integral part of every citizen’s conscious self? India is proud to have some of the major hotspots of biodiversity in the world, particularly the N- E states in India. Its health is important for sustainable development of the entire country. It also throws challenges as to how to keep the aspirations of the people of N-E fulfilled and at the same time, maintain and expand the biodiversity. Similar problems/issues affect other biodiversity hotspots in the country. With increased human migration, exchange of living and non-living commodities across the globe, introduction of invasive species, new epidemic outbreaks, and more importantly the local and the global impact of climate change, we need to re-examine the dynamics of Earth's ecosystem from a newer perspective. An understanding of the Earth’s ecosystems and measures to sustain the health of the Earth for the future requires multi-disciplinary approaches. With the help of tools of big data analysis, foundations of planetary science and ecology and evolution, we may start identifying key factors that affect biodiversity and, thereby, ecosystem function and services. While multidisciplinary research is taken up to study ways to keep the living earth healthy for centuries to come, in parallel, we also need to develop school and university-level curriculum that incorporates these issues in the education system so that future citizens would be well trained to identify better solutions for sustainable and equitable development. While research and education prepare us for a better future, equally important is identifying best possible ways to conserve biodiversity in our own lifetime. There is an urgent need to bring people from academia (science, engineering, medicine, social sciences and humanities, law etc), industry, politics, social service and all concerned citizens to identify immediate solution to mitigate the impact of climate change and identify ways to conserve biodiversity. To discuss various possibilities derived from science, new social norms, new policies and outreach on the topics related to Biodiversity, Miranda House is privileged to host a brainstorming meeting on 31 August 2018. Format The Biodiversity Conclave aims to bring together students, faculty, researchers and concerned citizens from across the city of Delhi. All sessions will be highly interactive. After a brief introduction to the theme by eminent invited speakers, the discussion will be thrown open. The programme will be webcast live on the Miranda House You Tube Channel. The Conclave aims to sensitize and engage everyone to think about Biodiversity and its significance in their individual lives and surrondings. The all encompassing influence of our surroundings on our lives finds many expressions. Several lead up events are being organized to provide a participative and creative forum to students to express themselves.

Unbeknownst to me, I was beginning a four-year long journey. After a needed hiatus, during which I moved over 1,000 miles down the East Coast This album was originally going to be solely based on the life of Hildegard von of the U.S., I found myself in a very different space.
