    The Gift of Valor is the story of an ordinary young American, Marine Corporal Jason Dunham, who was mortally, wounded shielding his fellow Marines from a grenade. Dunham grew up in a working-class family in a small town in upstate New York. An indifferent student but an outstanding athlete, Dunham joined the Marine Corps right out of high school. The Marines fit him well, and he rose to the rank of Corporal by the time his unit -- 3rd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment -- was alerted for deployment to Iraq in late 2003. Jason quietly extended his enlistment so that he could remain with the unit throughout its deployment.…

    Does encaging the animals in such places as zoo and aquarium be clarified as preserving biodiversity? There are two sides to this issue. Main points that support the idea of keeping the animals in cages that often come up are zoos are able to provide protection and they can increase the population of those species who are endangered (Hurley, J). Some important points that are against the idea of encaging the animals include the animals develop abnormal behaviours and they believe that the zoos use the animals as an entertaining source for the public (Hurley, J). Secondary source will be used in the essay, including information collected from webpages.…

    In 1900, the Nawab of Junagadh, the local ruler, declared the remaining population of lions in the Gir Forest of India as protected animals. At this time the population was estimated to be around 100 but The Nawab told everyone that there were only 20 remaining to prevent people from going to the Gir to hunt them. Now the population id double this and the forest is now approaching the limit of the number of lions that it can support habitats for Asiatic lions in India are needed. One suggested location is the Barda Hills near Porbandar. The Gir miles with only the central 100 square miles completely protected as a National Park. About 7,500 Maldhari people and their 14,000 cattle live in the Forest Sanctuary, with a further 160,000 people and 100,000 cattle living within six miles of the Sanctuary. As there are so few Asiatic lions, it is necessary to manage the captive and wild populations if the species is to recover. It is essential to ensure that all the lions are pure bred and that pairs are not closely related to one another. One institution that is actively involved with this process is Bristol Zoo Gardens. To help protect the Asiatic lion from extinction,…

It is home to tigers,lions,Leopards, pythons, wolves, foxes, bears, crocodiles, rhinoceroses, camels, wild dogs,monkeys, snakes, antelope species, deer species, varieties of bison and not to mention the mighty Asian elephant. The region's rich and diverse wildlife is preserved in 89 national parks, 18 Bio reserves and 400+ wildlife sanctuaries across the country.India has some of the most biodiverse regions of the world and hosts three of the world's 34 biodiversity hotspots - or treasure-houses - that is the Western Ghats, the Eastern Himalayas and Indo- Burma.Since India is home to a number of rare and threatened animal species, wildlife management in the country is essential to preserve these species.

    The Indian subcontinent boasts of serving as the natural habitat of a large and varied wildlife. The sub-continent with its varied geographical spread from the Himalayas in the north to the Cauvery basin in the south and the Kutch region in the west to the plains of Assam in East present a diverse range of environmental conditions for some of the most magnificent as well as the rarest wildlife species of the world in India to exist. The beauty and variety we see in the jungles of India is difficult to be expressed in words and I bring together the breadth through pictures in this project. However, the past few decades have seen the greed and negligence of human beings working to the detriment of this rich wildlife. Large-scale poaching, habitat destruction and conflict with humans have resulted in a rapid decline in the population of most of the wild animals and birds. Some animals like the Indian cheetah due to this are now extinct. Conservation of Indian wildlife was not given the requisite importance for a long time. However, the government as well as the people slowly and gradually understood their responsibility in this context. Today, efforts are being made towards wildlife conservation in India, to preserve this natural wealth. Numerous wildlife conservation projects have been undertaken in India, both at the government as well as the individual level, to protect the rich wildlife of the subcontinent. The private sector has also started stepping in as part of their corporate social responsibility to bring about this change and increase people’s awareness. I am a wildlife fan and have been to a fair number of national parks around the country. In this project I discuss the wildlife found, analyze the threat to wildlife in India and then report the efforts of the government, societies, groups and individuals.…
