The positive impacts to biodiversity of plantation Trees used in plantations may have more conservation value than existing vegetation such as pasture‚ also it may improve downstream water quality and provide habitat for aquatic biota. Moreover‚ it will sequester carbon and hence contribute to mitigating or reducing climate change. The plantation may lead to reduced pressure on the harvest of rainforests elsewhere. Most importantly‚ Biopact (2008) explained that the farmers

By preying on native wildlife and competing with other native predators these snakes are serious impacting Florida’s natural ecology. Their size and strength makes them one of the top predators in Florida and with no natural enemies they are thriving.

Does technology owe ecology an apology? If we look deep down in the roots of the evolution of the Homo Sapiens from the primate apes‚ we notice a basic and natural tendency of the evolving man; to find for himself the best and to develop his life and the way of his living‚ and this is the behavior which sets him apart from the rest of the organisms. The zest‚ for him to find the best had and will lead him to develop‚ not only physically‚ but‚ also mentally. Due to this tendency the primate apes
