Come and take part in research at your local Tiny Forest!About this event
Earthwatch invites you to attend your Tiny Forest’s first monitoring day this summer.
With the help of you - our citizen scientists - we are monitoring five key benefits across each of our 17 Tiny Forests. Specifically looking at how the forests change over time and how they differ per location.
We are researching:
• Thermal comfort: the cooling benefits of the trees
• Flood management: the forest’s ability to store water
• Biodiversity: focussing on butterflies, pollinators and soil-dwelling organisms
• Carbon capture: how much carbon a Tiny Forest sequesters and stores
• Wellbeing: conducting social surveys with volunteers
So please come along for an hour, to collect data on the Tiny Forest and support our ongoing research.
All events will be managed in line with current Government COVID-19 guidelines to create a safe day for all. We are therefore running hour-long volunteering slots, for you to choose from.
Important information:
- Please indicate how many people are in your group (children under 16 do not require a ticket)
- Please bring a face covering
- Hand sanitiser will be provided
- Please respect social distancing guidelines

Passive Risk/Cost of Inaction Analyst Volunteer, Wildfire Prevention DerivativesPrevention Derivatives draws upon passive risk/ cost of inaction. Literature reviews on cost of inaction in general and with regards to wildfire specifically can be helpful.
-Prevention derivatives is driven by the thesis that there is an under-valuation of passive risk (or the cost of inaction) and an under-prioritization of positive risk. Correspondingly for wildfires as an example, there is an under-recognition of the potential shared value upside of preventative action through social innovation and social interventions (such as goats & sheep that prevent wildfires). CrowdDoing.world's aim is to guarantee positive risk through leveraging existing liabilities to allow for the implications of prescriptive analytics to be financed. The under-pricing of passive risk means that liabilities are treated as either costs of doing business or un-predictable risks even for entirely preventable risks. Risk management offices have been too biased towards avoiding taking the wrong risks rather than ensuring that institutions make their own luck by seizing the abundant positive risk opportunities in social innovation. Meanwhile, the bias against positive risk leaves social innovations not to get adopted even if there would be remarkable benefits to all stakeholders if they were adopted
In the framework of Prevention Derivatives, we want to create a predictive machine learning (ML) model that for a given geographical region will estimate likely savings (losses) due-to protection (damages) of stakeholders’ properties, business profits, common health, and regional ecology resulting in applying risk prevention solutions (or doing nothing instead). Goal of these notes is to analyze ML model’s design, offer a potential improvement and to discuss existing approaches for data collection, and training and testing the model. It is important to notice that the model is applied to the entire selected or target region. Therefore, a geographical region R is the smallest unit we apply modeling to.
Data science will be utilized in the following ways:
Explore/Visualize data currently available on Wildfires
Identify trends and patterns in Historical data
Quantify historical losses in dollars based on property destruction, casualties, acres burnt, etc.
Build predictive models to identify areas of high wildfire risk based on factors such as weather, vegetation, topography, etc.
Visualization of Model outcomes
Scenario building (changing input variables and observing impact on outcome)
Tools - R, Python, MATLAB, SQL, PowerPoint
Knowledge or Interest in anyone or more:
Identify papers on Simulation of Wildfires, Catastrophe Modeling
Review and present Technical papers in a way that everyone can understand
Assist in Model development and testing by contributing in finding data and programming
Identify/Collect data relevant to wildfire Impact
Work cross-functionally

CrowdDoing Human Resources Sourcing Specialist Virtual Volunteer (global)
CrowdDoing is developing a new approach to reduce wildfire risk and prevent damage, while simultaneously regenerating nature and improving quality of life. This approach combines new analytic methods, data, financial tools, and collaboration.
The approach will be explored in-depth during a month-long hackathon which will culminate in a series of virtual events including a panel of senior risk executives, mentor-led break-outs, and awards to contributors.
Uncover how liabilities of inaction can be used to finance cover cost of prevention and adaptation for wildfires and beyond
Session goals include:
1. Demonstrate the acute need for proactive wildfire risk prevention in contrast to a traditional reactive approach
2. Advance a risk prevention strategy through improving the understanding of the concept of shared value wildfire prevention. This approach can leverage self-interest to scale a risk prevention strategy.
3. Connect the preventability of wildfire risks with subject matter experts with deep knowledge of the stakeholders who could share the risks and benefits of preventive, regenerative risk reduction strategies
4. Facilitate collaboration to make financeable wildfire prevention which can be effectively deployed to serve the financial needs of all stakeholders.
5. Provide service learning for all participants
6. Build Bridges between the cost-benefits analysis sector, the social innovation sector, and the insurance/reinsurance sector
7. Establish how the cost of inaction can be guaranteed against and used as a means to finance the opportunity for action to prevent risks, starting with wildfires
This is a ""reverse"" hackathon; rather than competing against one another, teams will focus on optimal collaboration to achieve SDG’s (Sustainable Development Goals). Our goal will be to allow stakeholders who benefit from wildfire prevention to understand the potential benefits and contract for risk prevention via collaboration.
Peter Diamandis noted the following on November 12th 2020 among the trends of the next decade: ""The insurance industry transforms from 'recovery after risk’ to 'prevention of risk .’"" Our ""prevention derivatives"" thesis is that anchor stakeholders at risk could demonstrably identify their self-interest in
preventing the air pollution and other damage caused by wildfires. CrowdDoing.world is working to accelerate that transformation via ""prevention derivatives"". Stakeholders share liabilities. Catastrophes cause harm to insurers, reinsurers, Insurance-linked-security holders, corporations, individuals, and whole regions. If we can prevent these risks cost effectively through social innovation, that is a collective opportunity. We plan to propose workshops, panel discussions and keynote presentations on our theme of ""How do we address the global cooperation gap in risk prevention?"" For example, preventing wildfires can be reduce risk for multiple types of stakeholders if combinations of social innovations getting financed and adopted. The idea of Prevention Derivatives is driven by the thesis that there is an under-valuation of passive risk (or the cost of inaction) and an under-prioritization of positive risk. Correspondingly for wildfires as an example, there is an under-recognition of the potential shared value upside of preventative action through social innovation and social interventions (such as goats & sheep that prevent wildfires). The aim of CrowdDoing.world is to guarantee positive risk through leveraging existing liabilities to allow for the implications of prescriptive analytics to be financed. The under-pricing of passive risk means that liabilities are treated as either costs of doing business or unpredictable risks even in the case of entirely preventable risks. Risk management offices have been too biased towards avoiding taking the wrong risks rather than ensuring that institutions make their own luck by seizing the abundant positive risk opportunities that social innovation can produce. Meanwhile, the bias against valuing positive risk prevents social innovations from getting adopted even if there would be remarkable benefits to all stakeholders through their adoption.
The only way CrowdDoing.world can realize its impact potential is through virtual volunteers,service learners(httppublic://volop_imgs/volop_398305_feature.pngblog.reframeit.com/service-learning-and-skilled-volunteering/), and micro-leaders (httpspublic://volop_imgs/volop_398305_feature.pngreal-leaders.com/leveraging-micro-leadership-to-make-aspirational-goals-achievable/) coming together.
See this brief video aboutMicro-leadership at CrowdDoing (httpspublic://volop_imgs/volop_398305_feature.pngwww.youtube.com/watch?v=mhdB2YJ8Ocs&app=desktop). Micro-leadership means that each person adopts a dimension of responsibility for a collective problem in our society through collaborating on that area creatively individually and together through social innovation.

Five of the six can be developed through volunteering with CrowdDoing’s Human Resources Team:
Become strategic advisors who can articulate what’s necessary to properly execute a given strategy. Have the qualities of both cultural stewards and credible activists to achieve business outcomes. Embrace data analyst capabilities to help companies know where to invest and divest in terms of human capital.
Be talent development facilitators and weave talent development responsibilities throughout the organization. Cultivate a more innovative culture with divergent thinking and the testing of new ideas.""

CrowdDoing Human Resources Sourcing Specialist Virtual Volunteer (global)
CrowdDoing is developing a new approach to reduce wildfire risk and prevent damage, while simultaneously regenerating nature and improving quality of life. This approach combines new analytic methods, data, financial tools, and collaboration.
The approach will be explored in-depth during a month-long hackathon which will culminate in a series of virtual events including a panel of senior risk executives, mentor-led break-outs, and awards to contributors.
Uncover how liabilities of inaction can be used to finance cover cost of prevention and adaptation for wildfires and beyond
Session goals include:
1. Demonstrate the acute need for proactive wildfire risk prevention in contrast to a traditional reactive approach
2. Advance a risk prevention strategy through improving the understanding of the concept of shared value wildfire prevention. This approach can leverage self-interest to scale a risk prevention strategy.
3. Connect the preventability of wildfire risks with subject matter experts with deep knowledge of the stakeholders who could share the risks and benefits of preventive, regenerative risk reduction strategies
4. Facilitate collaboration to make financeable wildfire prevention which can be effectively deployed to serve the financial needs of all stakeholders.
5. Provide service learning for all participants
6. Build Bridges between the cost-benefits analysis sector, the social innovation sector, and the insurance/reinsurance sector
7. Establish how the cost of inaction can be guaranteed against and used as a means to finance the opportunity for action to prevent risks, starting with wildfires
This is a ""reverse"" hackathon; rather than competing against one another, teams will focus on optimal collaboration to achieve SDG’s (Sustainable Development Goals). Our goal will be to allow stakeholders who benefit from wildfire prevention to understand the potential benefits and contract for risk prevention via collaboration.
Peter Diamandis noted the following on November 12th 2020 among the trends of the next decade: ""The insurance industry transforms from 'recovery after risk’ to 'prevention of risk .’"" Our ""prevention derivatives"" thesis is that anchor stakeholders at risk could demonstrably identify their self-interest in
preventing the air pollution and other damage caused by wildfires. CrowdDoing.world is working to accelerate that transformation via ""prevention derivatives"". Stakeholders share liabilities. Catastrophes cause harm to insurers, reinsurers, Insurance-linked-security holders, corporations, individuals, and whole regions. If we can prevent these risks cost effectively through social innovation, that is a collective opportunity. We plan to propose workshops, panel discussions and keynote presentations on our theme of ""How do we address the global cooperation gap in risk prevention?"" For example, preventing wildfires can be reduce risk for multiple types of stakeholders if combinations of social innovations getting financed and adopted. The idea of Prevention Derivatives is driven by the thesis that there is an under-valuation of passive risk (or the cost of inaction) and an under-prioritization of positive risk. Correspondingly for wildfires as an example, there is an under-recognition of the potential shared value upside of preventative action through social innovation and social interventions (such as goats & sheep that prevent wildfires). The aim of CrowdDoing.world is to guarantee positive risk through leveraging existing liabilities to allow for the implications of prescriptive analytics to be financed. The under-pricing of passive risk means that liabilities are treated as either costs of doing business or unpredictable risks even in the case of entirely preventable risks. Risk management offices have been too biased towards avoiding taking the wrong risks rather than ensuring that institutions make their own luck by seizing the abundant positive risk opportunities that social innovation can produce. Meanwhile, the bias against valuing positive risk prevents social innovations from getting adopted even if there would be remarkable benefits to all stakeholders through their adoption.
The only way CrowdDoing.world can realize its impact potential is through virtual volunteers,service learners(httppublic://volop_imgs/volop_398305_feature.pngblog.reframeit.com/service-learning-and-skilled-volunteering/), and micro-leaders (httpspublic://volop_imgs/volop_398305_feature.pngreal-leaders.com/leveraging-micro-leadership-to-make-aspirational-goals-achievable/) coming together.
See this brief video aboutMicro-leadership at CrowdDoing (httpspublic://volop_imgs/volop_398305_feature.pngwww.youtube.com/watch?v=mhdB2YJ8Ocs&app=desktop). Micro-leadership means that each person adopts a dimension of responsibility for a collective problem in our society through collaborating on that area creatively individually and together through social innovation.
