The conservation status of a group of organisms (for instance, a species) indicates whether the group still exists and how likely the group is to become extinct in the near future. Many factors are taken into account when assessing conservation status: not simply the number of individuals remaining, but the overall increase or decrease in the population over time, breeding success rates, and known threats.
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is the best-known worldwide conservation status listing and ranking system. Species are classified by the IUCN Red List into nine groups set through criteria such as rate of decline, population size, area of geographic distribution, and degree of population and distribution fragmentation. Also included are species that have gone extinct since 500 AD. When discussing the IUCN Red List, the official term "threatened" is a grouping of three categories: critically endangered, endangered and vulnerable.

Life history and reproduction
Males reach sexual maturity between four and seven years, while females mature at between six and nine years. The white whales can live more than 50 years.
Female belugas typically give birth to one calf every three years. Gestation lasts 12 to 14.5 months. Calves are born over an extended period of time that varies by location throughout the period from March and September. Newborns calves are uniformly dark grey in color and measures about 1.5 meters long, weigh about 80 kilograms. The calves remain dependent on their mothers and nurse for about 2 years. As calves grow, the grey color lightens reaching their distinctive pure white color by the age of seven years for females and nine years for males.
It may worth mentioning that almost all white whales found in aquaria are caught in the wild, as captive breeding programs was not that successful.
Threat and conservation status
There are various threats that negatively affect white whale populations. The predation, hunting & human activities and pollution are the key threating factors.
Predation: Polar bears take particular advantage of situations when whales become trapped by ice and cannot reach the ocean. The orca is its other significant natural predator.
Pollution: Because the white whale is a long-lived animal, it is considered an excellent indicator species for environment health and changes. As the white whale congregates in river estuaries, pollution has proved to be a significant health danger.
Hunting and human activities: the data show that the white whale global population is much smaller compared to pre-hunting populations whether hunting was done by indigenous people or through previous commercial whaling. Also, the disturbance caused by small boats, ships and whale-watching are threatening the whale populations.
Conservation status: As of 2008, the beluga is listed according to IUCN standards as "near threatened". This classification has taken in consideration the uncertainty about the number of white whales over parts of its range, in addition to the possible qualification of whale population to "threatened" status if the conservation efforts cease, especially hunting management. The white whales are protected under the International Moratorium on Commercial Whaling. It may worth mentioning that sub-populations of while whale may have different conservation listing.

As yet there is no descriptive flora of Jordan, though a revised checklist of the plants of Jordan has been recently published (Al-Eisawi 2013). Through the BOT-ERA project, an effort to update and produce an annotated checklist of the plants of Jordan is being done. Species records are databased from information obtained from several national and international herbaria, and published sources. A quantitative analysis of the flora shows ± 2625 species (including unresolved names) in 810 genera belonging to 113 families of vascular plants. The families Leguminosae (±280 spp), Asteraceae (±277 spp), Poaceae (±226 spp), Brassicaceae (±145 spp), Liliaceae (±124 spp), Lamiaceae (±116 spp) and Caryophyllaceae (±110 spp) are the largest with more than 100 species in each. An analysis of the distribution of the flora in the different ecogeographic regions shows the northern and southern mountains of Jordan to be the most species rich.
Jordan is influenced by two major phytochoria, the Irano-Turanian and Saharo-Sindian, both subdivided into regional phytochoria specific to the Middle Eastern region (Leonard 1989). Species richness and endemism is high in the Mediterranean part of the Irano-Turanian region of Jordan. Endemism is restricted mainly to the southern Mediterranean and Irano-Turanian regions as the southern mountains have been isolated by large wadis in the north and west.
Biodiversity Surveys carried out by RSCN in the designated Nature Reserves show Ajloun and Dana Nature Reserves to be the most species rich. There are seven species endemic to Jordan and ± 106 near endemics, (viz endemic to Palestine, Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Sinai). The endemic and near endemic species constitute about 2.5% of the total flora. Through the BOT-ERA project, Conservation Assessments of 931 species have been made. Using the IUCN Regional Categories and Criteria, one species, Salvia fruticosa, is recorded to be Regionally Extinct (Region-Jordan), 19 species are Critically Endangered, 54 Endangered, 34 Vulnerable, and 11 species Near Threatened. Threats to biodiversity and habitats in Jordan include urbanization, wood cutting, overgrazing, and extractor mining. A National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan and a Wild Socioeconomic Plant Conservation Strategy for the protection and conservation of species and crop wild relatives are in preparation.
Presentation by Dr. Shahina Ghazanfar at the International Conference on the Conservation and Use of Socio-Economically Important Wild Plants in the Fertile Crescent organized by the Royal Botanic Garden of Jordan in Amman on April 8 and 9, 2014.
Dr. Shahina A. Ghazanfar has worked in the Sultanate of Oman (Sultan Qaboos University), West Africa (Bayero University, Nigeria), Fiji (University of the South Pacific) and Pakistan (Pakistan Agriculture Research Council), and has made major contributions to the study of the floras of those countries. She joined the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, UK, in 2001, initially as co-editor for the Flora of Tropical East Africa (2001 to 2008) and then as Head of the Temperate Regional Team, and Editor of the Flora of Iraq. She has a particular interest in the restoration, conservation and biogeography of the Arabian Peninsula; her interests and research extend to the study of medicinal plants and plants of economic importance, and salt loving plants of Arabia and tropical Africa. She has authored several books, chapters in edited books, and written peer-reviewed papers on the Arabian flora and vegetation.
Her major contributions are as editor and author of Vegetation of the Arabian Peninsula (1998: Kluwer), Handbook of Arabian Medicinal Plants (1994: CRC Press) and Flora of the Sultanate of Oman (2003: Vol. 1; 2006: Vol. 2, Vol. 3 (in press) of four volumes, with distribution maps, vernacular names, accompanying CD-ROM of species photographs, published by the National Botanic Garden of Belgium). She has written several papers on the vegetation and ecology and conservation status of the flora of Oman.
Dr. Ghazanfar contributed towards a major plant family, Scrophulariaceae, for Flora of Tropical East Africa (Kew: 2008), and is currently preparing a working checklist of plants of the Arabian Peninsula and halophytes (salt tolerant plants) of SW Asia.
For the last five years she has been involved in major restoration and conservation projects in the UAE and advises on native plants that have potential for restoration of degraded habitats, and those that have potential for landscaping and horticulture.

Our church's conservation status was announced by Mr. Mah Bow Tan, Minister for National Development, at the 2005 URA Architectural Heritage Awards Presentation Ceremony at Malay Heritage Centre on Monday, 26 Sep 2005
When a building is granted conservation status it is protected as a heritage building for people to enjoy today and in the future. This status also ensures that the building is not subject to compulsory government acquisition.
The URA fact sheet on Blessed Sacrament Church said that its most iconic feature is the slate roof which is constructed in folds in the shape of a tent, symbolising the "tent of meeting" in the Old Testament. The roof appears to fall to the ground to wrap the interior, with portions touching the ground and resemble anchoring pegs, it added.
Other interesting features of Blessed Sacrament Church highlighted by the URA include:
The main service hall is cross-shaped. The exterior brick face wall of the main altar has a Celtic cross.
The roof has integrated slits of glass panels at the junctions where the four portions of the cruciform shape meet, creating a dramatic play of light and shadows, which visually draws the eye upwards. This is a clever way of bringing light into the sanctuary.
The combination of the structural fair-faced brick walls, and the timber ceiling panels create a warm atmosphere of solidity and strength within the worship hall.

Life history
The Giant Pacific Octopus is a short-lived animal, with life spans of 3-5 years. When sexually mature, females may lay 20,000 - 100,000 eggs over a period of several days. Eggs are intensively cared for by the females until they hatch after an incubation period of 150 days to seven or more months, depending on the temperature. Newly hatched young have the size of a rice grain. Females do not feed while tending eggs and die when the eggs hatch or shortly thereafter. The mature male of giant octopus deposits a long spermatophore of more than 1 meter which is a characteristic of the octopuses in this genus. The newly hatched young of the giant octopus swim toward the surface and spend 4-12 weeks drifting in the plankton until their mantle length is larger than 14 mm whereas the young then settle to the bottom while their average weight is still under 5 grams.
Conservation Status
The Giant Pacific Octopus is not currently under the protection of CITES or evaluated in the IUCN Red List

The conservation status of a group of organisms (for instance, a species) indicates whether the group is still extant (that is, members of it are still alive) and how likely the group is to become extinct in the near future. Many factors are taken into account when assessing conservation status: not simply the number of individuals remaining, but the overall increase or decrease in the population over time, breeding success rates, known threats, and so on.
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is the best-known worldwide conservation status listing and ranking system. The system divides threatened species into three categories: Critically Endangered (CR), Endangered (EN), and Vulnerable (VU). Also listed are the documented extinctions that have occurred since AD 1500 and taxa that are extinct in the wild. Lower risk taxa are also divided into categories. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) aims to ensure that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival.

How can Minnesota improve on the water conservation status quo?
Anna Henderson, Energy and Environment Policy Planning Director; and Erik Cedarleaf Dahl, Rulemaking Planning Director, Minnesota Environmental Quality Board Minnesota is home to more than 10,000 lakes, 100,000 miles of rivers and streams, and abundant groundwater resources. Unfortunately, many of these waters are not swimmable, fishable or drinkable. Minnesotans have made investments to protect and restore our waterways by voting for a sales tax increase and enacting a law that requires vegetation buffers on more than 100,000 acres of land adjacent to water. However, as a headwater state for three major waterways, we also recognize that in too many places our investments only maintain the status quo. The state’s Clean Water Roadmap aims to increase the percentage of lakes with good water... -

Native Plants Summit: Current Status, Conservation, and Outlook for Plants of the Northeast
The northeastern U.S. hosts a rich diversity of native plants, many of which play essential roles for humans and the environment. Alarmingly, a significant number of these species are experiencing a precipitous decline. Many are imperiled as a result, including one-quarter of species native to New York State. Despite these figures, no comprehensive or integrated program exists to study trends across the region. Through a series of compelling presentations, followed by a panel discussion, this Summit will address the gaps in our knowledge by bringing together experts to present and discuss the state of the area’s plant species, plot the best course forward, and highlight ways in which everyone can make a difference for native plants in the Northeast. 06:25 – Robert Naczi 38:44 – Bernd B... -

The conservation status of a group of organisms (for instance, a species) indicates whether the group still exists and how likely the group is to become extinct in the near future. Many factors are taken into account when assessing conservation status: not simply the number of individuals remaining, but the overall increase or decrease in the population over time, breeding success rates, and known threats.
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is the best-known worldwide conservation status listing and ranking system. Species are classified by the IUCN Red List into nine groups set through criteria such as rate of decline, population size, area of geographic distribution, and degree of population and distribution fragmentation. Also included are species that have gone extinct since 500 AD. When discussing the IUCN Red List, the official term "threatened" is a grouping of three categories: critically endangered, endangered and vulnerable.

Life history and reproduction
Males reach sexual maturity between four and seven years, while females mature at between six and nine years. The white whales can live more than 50 years.
Female belugas typically give birth to one calf every three years. Gestation lasts 12 to 14.5 months. Calves are born over an extended period of time that varies by location throughout the period from March and September. Newborns calves are uniformly dark grey in color and measures about 1.5 meters long, weigh about 80 kilograms. The calves remain dependent on their mothers and nurse for about 2 years. As calves grow, the grey color lightens reaching their distinctive pure white color by the age of seven years for females and nine years for males.
It may worth mentioning that almost all white whales found in aquaria are caught in the wild, as captive breeding programs was not that successful.
Threat and conservation status
There are various threats that negatively affect white whale populations. The predation, hunting & human activities and pollution are the key threating factors.
Predation: Polar bears take particular advantage of situations when whales become trapped by ice and cannot reach the ocean. The orca is its other significant natural predator.
Pollution: Because the white whale is a long-lived animal, it is considered an excellent indicator species for environment health and changes. As the white whale congregates in river estuaries, pollution has proved to be a significant health danger.
Hunting and human activities: the data show that the white whale global population is much smaller compared to pre-hunting populations whether hunting was done by indigenous people or through previous commercial whaling. Also, the disturbance caused by small boats, ships and whale-watching are threatening the whale populations.
Conservation status: As of 2008, the beluga is listed according to IUCN standards as "near threatened". This classification has taken in consideration the uncertainty about the number of white whales over parts of its range, in addition to the possible qualification of whale population to "threatened" status if the conservation efforts cease, especially hunting management. The white whales are protected under the International Moratorium on Commercial Whaling. It may worth mentioning that sub-populations of while whale may have different conservation listing.

As yet there is no descriptive flora of Jordan, though a revised checklist of the plants of Jordan has been recently published (Al-Eisawi 2013). Through the BOT-ERA project, an effort to update and produce an annotated checklist of the plants of Jordan is being done. Species records are databased from information obtained from several national and international herbaria, and published sources. A quantitative analysis of the flora shows ± 2625 species (including unresolved names) in 810 genera belonging to 113 families of vascular plants. The families Leguminosae (±280 spp), Asteraceae (±277 spp), Poaceae (±226 spp), Brassicaceae (±145 spp), Liliaceae (±124 spp), Lamiaceae (±116 spp) and Caryophyllaceae (±110 spp) are the largest with more than 100 species in each. An analysis of the distribution of the flora in the different ecogeographic regions shows the northern and southern mountains of Jordan to be the most species rich.
Jordan is influenced by two major phytochoria, the Irano-Turanian and Saharo-Sindian, both subdivided into regional phytochoria specific to the Middle Eastern region (Leonard 1989). Species richness and endemism is high in the Mediterranean part of the Irano-Turanian region of Jordan. Endemism is restricted mainly to the southern Mediterranean and Irano-Turanian regions as the southern mountains have been isolated by large wadis in the north and west.
Biodiversity Surveys carried out by RSCN in the designated Nature Reserves show Ajloun and Dana Nature Reserves to be the most species rich. There are seven species endemic to Jordan and ± 106 near endemics, (viz endemic to Palestine, Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Sinai). The endemic and near endemic species constitute about 2.5% of the total flora. Through the BOT-ERA project, Conservation Assessments of 931 species have been made. Using the IUCN Regional Categories and Criteria, one species, Salvia fruticosa, is recorded to be Regionally Extinct (Region-Jordan), 19 species are Critically Endangered, 54 Endangered, 34 Vulnerable, and 11 species Near Threatened. Threats to biodiversity and habitats in Jordan include urbanization, wood cutting, overgrazing, and extractor mining. A National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan and a Wild Socioeconomic Plant Conservation Strategy for the protection and conservation of species and crop wild relatives are in preparation.
Presentation by Dr. Shahina Ghazanfar at the International Conference on the Conservation and Use of Socio-Economically Important Wild Plants in the Fertile Crescent organized by the Royal Botanic Garden of Jordan in Amman on April 8 and 9, 2014.
Dr. Shahina A. Ghazanfar has worked in the Sultanate of Oman (Sultan Qaboos University), West Africa (Bayero University, Nigeria), Fiji (University of the South Pacific) and Pakistan (Pakistan Agriculture Research Council), and has made major contributions to the study of the floras of those countries. She joined the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, UK, in 2001, initially as co-editor for the Flora of Tropical East Africa (2001 to 2008) and then as Head of the Temperate Regional Team, and Editor of the Flora of Iraq. She has a particular interest in the restoration, conservation and biogeography of the Arabian Peninsula; her interests and research extend to the study of medicinal plants and plants of economic importance, and salt loving plants of Arabia and tropical Africa. She has authored several books, chapters in edited books, and written peer-reviewed papers on the Arabian flora and vegetation.
Her major contributions are as editor and author of Vegetation of the Arabian Peninsula (1998: Kluwer), Handbook of Arabian Medicinal Plants (1994: CRC Press) and Flora of the Sultanate of Oman (2003: Vol. 1; 2006: Vol. 2, Vol. 3 (in press) of four volumes, with distribution maps, vernacular names, accompanying CD-ROM of species photographs, published by the National Botanic Garden of Belgium). She has written several papers on the vegetation and ecology and conservation status of the flora of Oman.
Dr. Ghazanfar contributed towards a major plant family, Scrophulariaceae, for Flora of Tropical East Africa (Kew: 2008), and is currently preparing a working checklist of plants of the Arabian Peninsula and halophytes (salt tolerant plants) of SW Asia.
For the last five years she has been involved in major restoration and conservation projects in the UAE and advises on native plants that have potential for restoration of degraded habitats, and those that have potential for landscaping and horticulture.

Our church's conservation status was announced by Mr. Mah Bow Tan, Minister for National Development, at the 2005 URA Architectural Heritage Awards Presentation Ceremony at Malay Heritage Centre on Monday, 26 Sep 2005
When a building is granted conservation status it is protected as a heritage building for people to enjoy today and in the future. This status also ensures that the building is not subject to compulsory government acquisition.
The URA fact sheet on Blessed Sacrament Church said that its most iconic feature is the slate roof which is constructed in folds in the shape of a tent, symbolising the "tent of meeting" in the Old Testament. The roof appears to fall to the ground to wrap the interior, with portions touching the ground and resemble anchoring pegs, it added.
Other interesting features of Blessed Sacrament Church highlighted by the URA include:
The main service hall is cross-shaped. The exterior brick face wall of the main altar has a Celtic cross.
The roof has integrated slits of glass panels at the junctions where the four portions of the cruciform shape meet, creating a dramatic play of light and shadows, which visually draws the eye upwards. This is a clever way of bringing light into the sanctuary.
The combination of the structural fair-faced brick walls, and the timber ceiling panels create a warm atmosphere of solidity and strength within the worship hall.

Life history
The Giant Pacific Octopus is a short-lived animal, with life spans of 3-5 years. When sexually mature, females may lay 20,000 - 100,000 eggs over a period of several days. Eggs are intensively cared for by the females until they hatch after an incubation period of 150 days to seven or more months, depending on the temperature. Newly hatched young have the size of a rice grain. Females do not feed while tending eggs and die when the eggs hatch or shortly thereafter. The mature male of giant octopus deposits a long spermatophore of more than 1 meter which is a characteristic of the octopuses in this genus. The newly hatched young of the giant octopus swim toward the surface and spend 4-12 weeks drifting in the plankton until their mantle length is larger than 14 mm whereas the young then settle to the bottom while their average weight is still under 5 grams.
Conservation Status
The Giant Pacific Octopus is not currently under the protection of CITES or evaluated in the IUCN Red List

Anna Henderson, Energy and Environment Policy Planning Director; and Erik Cedarleaf Dahl, Rulemaking Planning Director, Minnesota Environmental Quality Board
Minnesota is home to more than 10,000 lakes, 100,000 miles of rivers and streams, and abundant groundwater resources. Unfortunately, many of these waters are not swimmable, fishable or drinkable. Minnesotans have made investments to protect and restore our waterways by voting for a sales tax increase and enacting a law that requires vegetation buffers on more than 100,000 acres of land adjacent to water. However, as a headwater state for three major waterways, we also recognize that in too many places our investments only maintain the status quo. The state’s Clean Water Roadmap aims to increase the percentage of lakes with good water quality by 8 percent over the next 20 years. While more research is needed, we know enough about actions that can be taken now to protect and restore Minnesota’s waters. In this talk, we’ll explore how to encourage landowners to choose to protect water quality without introducing more regulations, and discuss the role of the private sector, which in Minnesota represents an enormous brain trust of global water technology companies.

The northeastern U.S. hosts a rich diversity of native plants, many of which play essential roles for humans and the environment. Alarmingly, a significant number of these species are experiencing a precipitous decline. Many are imperiled as a result, including one-quarter of species native to New York State. Despite these figures, no comprehensive or integrated program exists to study trends across the region.
Through a series of compelling presentations, followed by a panel discussion, this Summit will address the gaps in our knowledge by bringing together experts to present and discuss the state of the area’s plant species, plot the best course forward, and highlight ways in which everyone can make a difference for native plants in the Northeast.

SPEAKER BIOS
Robert Naczi, Ph.D., is a plant systematist whose research focuses on the flora of the eastern United States, the sedges (Cyperaceae), and the Western Hemisphere Pitcher Plants (Sarraceniaceae). Naczi uses a multipronged approach in his research, employing field, herbarium, and laboratory methods. His fieldwork has given him first- hand knowledge of the flora of much of North America.
Bernd Blossey, Ph.D., was born and raised in northern Germany. In 1992 he joined the faculty of Cornell University, where he is currently an Associate Professor directing the Ecology and Management of Invasive Plants Program in the Department of Natural Resources.
Rebecca W. Dolan earned an undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan and a Ph.D. from the University of Georgia, both in botany. For 25 years she has been Director of the Friesner Herbarium at Butler University. She is now busy building
an online atlas of Indiana plants and is the author of over 25 scientific articles on restoration ecology, urban botany, and genetics of rare plants.
Jerry Jenkins is a botanist and ecologist from White Creek, New York. He was trained in physics and philosophy, and has 46 years of field experience with northern floras. He works as a scientist for the Wildlife Conservation Society, is the founder and director of the White Creek Field School, and is the director of the Northern Forest Atlas Project.
David Werier is a botanist who has his own consulting business based out of the Ithaca, New York area. His botanical interests focus on understanding the vascular plants of eastern North America (primarily New York State) through fieldwork in conjunction with herbarium and literature research.
Donald J. Leopold earned his Ph.D. in forest ecology from Purdue University in 1984, his M.S.F. in forest ecology from the University of Kentucky in 1981, and B.S. in ornamental horticulture/nursery management from the University of Kentucky in 1978. He is a Distinguished Teaching Professor and Chair in the Department of Environmental and Forest Biology at SUNY-ESF. He has published over 60 journal papers, six books, and many additional publications, all generally about topics in forest and wetland ecology and native plants.
Mary Klein, President and CEO of NatureServe, has been an active proponent for the conservation of species and ecosystems for nearly 30 years. She leads an international network of more than 1,000 conservation professionals who provide the scientific basis for effective conservation action—responding to more than six million information inquiries each year. In this role, she guides the identification, mapping, and analysis of species and ecosystems.
