New Publication for 2024: Birds Take Center Stage in New Research on Permaculture Landscapes and Biodiversity
Title: Multi-staged Bird Species Classification Through CNN using Bird Vocalizations
Authors: Albert John De Vera, Rock Christian Tomas, Jabez Joshua Flores, Anton Domini Sta. Cruz
Abstract (preview): The biodiversity of birds may serve as a proxy for the Gini index of a permaculture landscape. Manual biodiversity monitoring can be expensive, time-consuming, and requires highly trained ornithologists. To mitigate these problems, an automated solution is proposed using digital signal processing (DSP) and image classification using deep learning.

Lecture on Permaculture Organized by Universitas Padjadjaran, Indonesia
The first speaker, Dr. Jabez Joshua Flores of UPOU, talked about the status of permaculture research in the Philippines. According to him, even though there are many permaculture practitioners in the Philippines, the academic community in general seems to be uninterested in the topic in spite of its relevance in the age of climate change. He ends the talk by challenging the students to conduct their own permaculture research. The second speaker, Dr. Ernah of UNPAD, discussed the output of her team's research on permaculture ethics in Kebun Hanif Regenerative Farm--a permaculture site founded by alumni of UNPAD.
If you are interested to watch the lecture, you can request a link to the video recording by email us at permacultureresearchph@gmail.com.
