    National Parks: a Double Edged Sword?

    To understand the present state of the nation’s parks, and ultimately their entire future, it is crucial to first look back at the past. The first national park was Yellowstone National Park. This sprawling park contains such amazing geological and biological sites that it had been considered a national park long before it was ever officially named one. Its combination of diverse wildlife, and geologic features such as, waterfalls, canyons, geysers, and hot springs made it obvious to any who had experienced it, that this was a place that should be preserved just the way it was. That was why in 1872, President Ulysses S. Grant made it officially the world’s first national park. The only problem being, it was a completely unique creation, the first of its kind. This means that all ground that they covered would be new.…

    Sherritt Goes to Cuba (A): Political Risk in Uncharted Territory (Case study analysis)

    Investing in developing countries requires not only an in-depth assessment of the economic, political and cultural factors involved but also the reconsideration of the investor's long-term strategies. Based on Sherritt International entry into Cuba, this case study analysis evaluates how Sherritt approached the Cuban government and how well it negotiated the terms under which the joint venture was signed. As the new venture is associated with numerous risks related to the political and economic systems of the country as well as to the Cuban culture, these will be carefully considered and possible recommendations for their mitigation, where possible, will be outlined. However, as every new endeavour, Sherritt's entry is a source of various opportunities such as expanding the business and adopting new management practices. These possibilities will be contrasted to the aforementioned risks further on in the case study analysis. Finally, the case study analysis will focus on recognising the kind of strategies multinational companies (MNCs) should adopt to operate effectively in emerging economies with authoritarian regimes.…

    Lab Report Biodiversity

    Biodiversity presents occurrence of variety of species and their natural community in which they live. By the definition it is “The degree of variation of life forms within a given species, ecosystem, biome, or an entire planet. It is a measure of the health of ecosystems and is in part a function of climate.” (Rutherford) Ecosystem is on the other hand, “ community and its abiotic environment”( Rutherford). Biodiversity exists in every ecosystem, weather it is big one, or just ecosystem of one garden, it has the same importance because without it nature loses its ability to perform major functions needed for life on Earth, as it is oxygen production. Trough this investigation, two different ecosystems will be explored and the level of their biodiversity on certain area.…

    The Legalization of Physician Assisted Suicide

    The process of dying can be slow, painful, and undignified when you have an untreatable disease. The ethical dilemma of legalizing physician assisted suicide has been fought over for many years. Physician assisted suicide, which is different from euthanasia, is when terminally ill patients commit suicide facilitated by means of a lethal dosage of prescribed drugs which have been provided by a physician who has talked to the patient and is aware of how them plan to use them. (Merriam-Webster, 2011) In this paper, arguments in favour of physician assisted suicide are explored, as well, some arguments against are addressed and refuted. The points which are analyzed are as follows; since the criminal code stipulates that it is a criminal offence to assist someone in committing suicide, a patient who is terminal and does not possess the ability to take their own life, this code then deprives these people of their section 7 Charter rights which states that everyone has the right to life and the right to take it away. Secondly, when patients cannot confide in their physicians, it is much more likely for their family to need to aid in their suicide. This then puts their family in grave risk of jail. Lastly, it has been quoted that many physicians already secretly assist some terminal patients in committing suicide. Physician assisted suicide should be legalized in every country.…

The medical industry relies on biodiversity for research and resources to make new medications. For example advances in the treatment of osteoporosis, diabetes, renal disease and cardiovascular disorders all came from studying bears. Also research on cetaceans has been used to help divers when they suffer from decompression sickness. Maintaining biodiversity isn’t just vital used for research when developing medicines but many plants and animals are also used in the production of many medicines. Some plants that are used are Digitalis plants, which are consumed in the making of Lanoxin a cardiac drug, anti-cancer drugs use taxus trees to for Taxol and Hycamtin which is made from Camptotheca trees. One example of when an animal is used is when Zincontide, and inter alia pain killer…

    Apple Case: Clients and the Brand Itself

    1. Apple’s success is also due to the many important historical competitive advantages that the company was able to develop during the years. Starting from Steve Jobs’ garage the company has had the capabilites to attract loyal customers who, with time, started loving their Macs instead of simply “putting up” with them.

    Wild Life Protection Act of India

    The wildlife of India is a mix of species of diverse origins. The region's rich and diverse wildlife is preserved in numerous national parks and wildlife sanctuaries across the country. According to one study, India is home to about 60-70% of the world's biodiversity. India, lying within the Indomalaya Eco Zone, is home to about 7.6% of all mammalian, 12.6% of avian, 6.2% of reptilian, and 6.0% of flowering plant species. Many eco regions, such as the Shola forests, also exhibit extremely high rates of endemism; overall, 33% of Indian plant species are endemic. India's forest cover ranges from the tropical rainforest of the Andaman Islands, Western Ghats, and Northeast India to the coniferous forest of the Himalaya. Between these extremes lie the Sal-dominated moist deciduous forest of eastern India; teak-dominated dry deciduous forest of central and southern India; and the babul-dominated thorn forest of the central Deccan and western Gangetic plain. Important Indian trees include the medicinal…

    Choice Experiment: The Orang Asli

    Although there many are attributes directly associated with Orang Asli and and their wise use of natural resources, we focused specifically on three major attributes, namely documentation of medicinal plants and knowledge of their use, traditional forest-related knowledge and conservation of natural resources. These attributes were broadly based on the ecosystem services identified in line with local and international policies, including the National Policy on Biological Diversity and CBD. The indigenous knowledge and practices on medicinal plants are of particular interest because there are more than 2,000 species of medicinal plants in Malaysia of which, about 800 species of medicinal and aromatic plants has been documented through consultation with the Orang Asli. In addition, there is also rising demand for traditional medicine products, especially in the primary health care and cosmeceuticals as pointed out by Nicholas (2004). We also include traditional forest-related knowledge (TFRK) as one of the attribute to support the fundamental roles of the Orang Asli in maintaining cultural values, livelihood, sustainable management of forest ecosystems. While it is true that not all Orang Asli lives in forest areas, most Orang Asli communities e.g. Jahai, Bateq, Temiar, and Jakun are still living within ecoregion hotspots, in particular the Central Forest Spine (CFS), including Belum-Temengor, Endau-Rompin and Taman Negara. The inclusion of TFRK in our study is primarily to value the traditional knowledge and practices among various Orang Asli ethnic groups in Penisular Malaysia with respect to forest resources management. While the scope of the second attribute specifically applies to the trees and forest environments, the third attribute is a representation of general aspects of conservation…
