World Animal Day was chosen to be on 4 October as it is the feast day of Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and ecology.
Francis the founder of the Catholic Franciscan order. Legend has it that Saint Francis of Assisi (1181-1226) was able to talk to animals, which is why he is often depicted in paintings in their company, and famously tamed a wolf. He died on the eve of 4 October. - Assisi is a town in central Italy, north of Rome and two hours from Florence. Here, in 1931, 705 years after Francis’ death, World Animal Day was officially adopted.

Geo Heritage - range of abiotic features and processes
Cultural ecosystem services (CES) - non-material benefits from nature,
often experiential and therefore subjective.
They include:
aesthetic views
sense of place
spirituality
recreation
tourism activites
generally evaluated by small-scale direct enquires - social medias geo-located images give us a brand new perspective on the human-landscape interaction
Biodiversity emerges from the interplay of many elements on the stage of geodiverse lansdcapes, that make each location's unique conditions.

“Every day 100 living species become extinct, 150,000 acres of tropical rainforest are destroyed, two million tons of toxic waste are dumped, and 100 million tons of greenhouse gases are released.
Polly Higgins – an international environmental lawyer and activist voted by The Ecologist as one of the ‘World’s Top 10 Visionary Thinkers’ – has submitted a proposal to the United Nations (UN) for ‘ecocide’ to become the fifth crime against peace.
“This interdisciplinary symposium offered varying perspectives on how international law could be used to protect ecosystems and humans from the effects of ecocide, with key speaker Polly Higgins examining how international law could be used to protect ecosystems, and Dr Saladin Meckled-Garcia (UCL Institute for Human Rights) responding to her proposal.
“Polly Higgins began her presentation with an overview of crimes against peace and the International Criminal Court. Crimes against peace are morality-driven laws, based on the sacredness of all life and the universal agreement to protect wellbeing. Although the first crime against peace (genocide) has been in place since 1948, the first case in the International Criminal Courts did not begin until 2006.
“Polly Higgins defined ecocide as the extensive destruction, damage to or loss of ecosystems of a given territory (whether by human agency or other causes) to such an extent that the peaceful enjoyment of the inhabitants of that territory has been severely diminished. She argued that damage and destruction of ecosystems were causing resource depletion, which can lead to conflict, causing a cycle of further damage and destruction of ecosystems, citing the examples of Darfur and Iraq.
“Highlighting the responsibility principle, superior responsibility, strict liability, the UN, the ‘sacred trust of civilization’ and the divergent processes of property law and trusteeship law, Polly Higgins went on to debate the best legal methods for ensuring that ecocide is prevented or punishable.
“The crime of ecocide should not be about closing down companies, she argued, but about ensuring that they are part of the solution. Two hundred years ago industry said that the end of the slave trade was uneconomic and would lead to loss of jobs, and there was public demand for slaves as they were a necessity. Industry proposed that reductions in use of slaves should be left to market forces and self regulation, and that industry itself would improve conditions and limit numbers. Legislation against the slave trade led to the industries involved developing hugely successful technological solutions in very short timescales. By legislating against ecocide, companies would develop new technologies and new ways of working far more rapidly than they would otherwise.

“Dr Saladin Meckled-Garcia (Director of the UCL Institute for Human Rights) – with expertise in the ethical foundations of human rights and theories of international justice – emphasised his agreement with the urgency of the issue of damage to the planet and that action needs to be taken. However, he raised issues regarding whether ecocide would be accepted as an international crime against peace. He challenged the audience to consider what an international law on ecocide is trying to achieve; are we interested in the principles of international law, or achieving the aims of protecting ecosystems? Dr Meckled-Garcia examined the other legal solutions possible, suggesting a new convention may be simpler, but highlighted the current problems regarding agreement on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
“Audience members, including staff and students from across UCL, funders and members of the general public, then raised questions around the population-carrying capacity of Earth, how to reconcile long-term and short-term wellbeing for communities living in developing countries who rely on extraction of natural resources, the length of the transition period that developing countries should be given to move from fossil fuels to greener energy sources, and whether ‘intent’ causes a barrier for ecocide as the fifth crime against peace.”
