 Am I audible? Hi, we can we can hear you. Okay. We apologize for what's happening. We have a lot of technical situations. So we're trying to fix this with the platform. Okay. And right now I'm sharing my script. Can you confirm that you can see it? Yes. Perfect. Can see it. And my time start now. Yes, perfect. When the time will start just inform me. Okay. Thank you so much for joining. We're experiencing, as Manar said, some technical difficulties. But this Zoom meeting is good to go. So we're just waiting a couple of minutes. Thanks for sharing your screen. It looks fantastic. Wish me good luck too. I've been right now in contact with the COT and also the team of the Committee of Foundation. Right now there's a screening of the Ukrainian video and there's a seven minute delay. So if you could hold your presentation for seven minutes, that would be great. So if we take, yes, if we consider that there's two minutes to go, that would be nine minutes. Okay. I can let you know. No problem. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you. Okay. Thank you very much for your patience. We'll let you know as soon as we have more updates. And we're just waiting to start. But please just hold off a little bit. Okay. The video of Ukraine's rolling in feed loop experienced still some technical difficulties. But no worries. We hope to get this settled before this meeting starts. Thanks for your patience. I just see a question in the chat. What's going on? Right now they're streaming a video from Ukraine on feed loop in the main stage. So we're just waiting for that video to end to start with the meeting. Thanks for your patience. We'll notify you as soon as we can give you green light. If you have further questions, please make sure to put them in the chat. We'll be happy to attend them. And thanks again for your patience. Well, thank you very much for your patience. But now we are ready to start as Manar was saying. So we already have green light. Thank you so much. And please go ahead. Okay, can I start now? You can indeed. Good luck. And enjoy the conference. Okay. Thank you. Hi all. My name is Arota Pondul. My user name is Artudu. And I'm from West Bengal, India. I am a member of West Bengal Wikimedia user group. I joined Wikimedia movement last six years. I developed and started a project which is Wikilabs Butterfly. Wikimedia funded science-based project. It is a project about photographic documentation of butterfly which are available in West Bengal and the Northeast India. And for five years we are documenting the butterfly species. What is this is the purpose of the project is to increase the amount of free license material or photographs of butterfly in the Wikimedia Commons. We also developed articles in Bengali Wikimedia and English Wikimedia too. And also we are contributing the species documentation in Wikidata and Wikis species also. And the another part of WLV project is the outreach program and knowledge sharing. We are also taking the research group, lepi doctorate students and inspire them, motivate them and try to bring them under the umbrella of Wikimedia movement. So as I told the last five years, here is the fourth WLV project. Here we are documented and collected the different species of butterfly. If we look into the statistics of the WLV project, you can see that a graph are already inclined. Till now we are able to capture 4,500 plus images to the Wikimedia Commons, among them 300 plus number of images are quality images, 14 are featured images and very much mentionable that we are able to contribute 170 plus valued images which are the first time we are able to contribute live images of butterfly to the Wikimedia Commons. And till now we are able to 500 species and subspecies we are able to cover so far. And in this field, apart from myself, another 20 members, they are working to document the butterfly species in a regular business. So next question, what is the conservation and why it is essential? We already know a little bit or very much about conservation, but in a brief I can say here and protection of resources so that they can persist for future generation. Now I am saying that tiger species is in danger. Most of the people can connect with what I am trying to say because they know what tiger species is and how they look like, what is their habitat, what is their behavior or characteristics anything. But if I say that khaki silver line is in danger, I can bet that no maximum number of people did not get my point what the khaki silver line is. So see what the khaki silver line is. This is a very tiny butterfly species, common name is khaki silver line. These are also endangered in India. In India, under the Wildlife Protection Act, this species is under schedule one. That means they are very much endangered or they are in actually danger, actually in danger. So if we did not conserve the species from right now, maybe after 20 years, 50 years, the species may be disappeared from India. Here is the difference because the proper documentation is not there. That's why we did not connect to the species to species. And here we are trying to build the gap. But that's why our team is trying to bring this situation and fulfill the gap and trying to bridge them with the resource person to the common people. Photography intervention. First off, that photography directly hit our mind. When I said tiger previously, some of images is already in our mind. So photography directly hit our mind, our pop up our emotions. And it is the easiest way to communicate strongest tool and connect huge number of people at a time. Next see some pictures. Yes, the butterfly is actually peeing. This is the butterfly named white dragon tail. And this is the salient feature of this butterfly is the peeing activity. This is the male specimen. And what he is doing that this situation is called mud purling. He sucking the water and taking the minerals for their further reproduction and release the excess water to the nature. So see here it's not an image. It's basically a story. So that this is the common and so that common man can relate with this that this is also its behavior pattern. Another is this this name is common name is orange and then dry mimic as dry lip. When it's open, lots of color are popped up like orange, blue, black, you can see in the image. So when you see the open wing, it's amazing. It's really colorful because it's already pop up our emotions. Another characteristics is the mating pair is very important for reproduction of every species to survive further. And here in this picture that all the butterflies are sitting calmly in the tip of the finger. Actually, most of the people know that people know that butterfly are fond of nectarine. Not all the butterfly are fond of nectarine. They also like sweat. That's why they are sucking sweat from the fingertip and sitting calmly in the tip of the finger. And here the another species, his name is Black Raja. Raja means the king, though its name is king, but their food habit is a little bit weird because he is taking nutrients from the poop. So see the the this is the difference that we are trying to document different different habitat, different different characteristics of the butterfly. So that common people can know very much or ever about them. And we are also trying to we are also trying to capture or documented the life circle of the butterfly, because we all know butterfly are being metamorphosed in their whole life. And there are different different stages is there. So we try to document this because if if the common man can relate with the any of the stage may protect them or may maybe they become curious about the different stages of butterfly. And if they became curious, that is the turning point, I think, because when they become curious, they did not spray the pesticide to kill the caterpillar because they are poisonous, they may bite you or something like that, but and also destroy your plant. But most of the butterfly caterpillar are not harmful as people thought. So when they did not use the pesticide or they become curious, maybe that that point they will wait and watch how the butterfly, the adult butterfly will emerge from the cocoon and spread his wing to the earth. And that in that point, the people will convert it into the conservationist. And that is my further view, actually, that's why we are also trying to trying to develop and capture the little little thing. And one thing when we cut the garden, cut the weeds and white flowers and something because we called them white, because we don't know their name out of out of our knowledge, we are doing that when we cut the weeds and plant and surf, we are not only cutting the plants, we also cutting the ecosystem too, because there is small, small ecosystem, they are growing in our surrounding area. We just ignored this out of our knowledge. So we already know the visual is always more powerful than words. And our project is totally based on macro photography. As you see the egg is very tiny. And sometimes the plant is also very small. The nectar plant is the flower is very small. Here is another the life circle of dark banded bush brown butterfly. And this is the egg, which is 1.2 millimeter in diameter. And why we are are concepted on butterfly that is only it is that colorful creatures, that's why I think no, because it is first of all, butterfly is the butterfly is the very, very important part of ecosystem as butterfly is known as a bio indicator. That means if your area in your area, the butterfly population is very high, that means in your area, the plant diversity is also rich. That's why they are here. If the butterfly is struggle to survive in your environment, that means your environment ecosystem is not that much good. Maybe it's need improvement. That's why they need to, they are struggling to survive in that area. And one thing that butterfly are the good pollinator. And in my country in India, the one part of economy is based on agriculture. So butterfly also help to develop the agriculture and sustain a good economy of our country. Here is the glimpse of our field documentation. The I am a group member doing the, doing field and capturing the tiny colorful jewel of the earth. And here I just very happy to announce the news that we are very lucky to have this rare guide and demorph of color surgeon species. In this picture, you can see the both wings are looking different. Actually his guide and demorph is a situation. You can see the left side of the butterfly species denote at the female characteristics and right side is also denote as a male character, which is very, very rare. And we are very lucky. This is the first time we recorded the life specimen. And this is the first recorded India. So last of my slide, I am happy to help. I am happy to help to who are willing to do the same type of project can contact with me directly. I am very happy, very pleased to help them with my knowledge and my experience of last five years of my journey. And because every species is equally important and they have specific role in ecosystem and in nature. Okay. Thank you. And I thank you so much for your presentation. It was fantastic. Any question is there? And I, because of timing, we need to cut off the tension right now. Thank you so much. But if you have any doubts, please email us or you can also in the networking tent contact with the attendees as well. So thank you so much again. Thank you.
