use for growing there are no weeds and fewer disease and pest problems. There is also less waste of water and nutrients because these are continuously recycled. All these factors help to reduce the costs of growing food crops for business. Water conservation makes hydroponics a very important method of agriculture for hot climates‚ enabling people to grow crops in difficult places like the Middle East‚ Australia and Africa. It is easy to see that a gardener in a part of the world where transport of

world’s “biggest industry” on the basis of its contribution to global GDP‚ the number of jobs it generates and the number of client it serves. The rate at which tourism continues to grow presents both opportunities and threats for biodiversity conservation. Over the past three decades‚ major losses of virtually every kind of natural habitat and the decline and extinction of species have occurred. Many of the ecosystems in decline provide attractions for tourism development. These include coastal

Endangered Species Endangered species are living things whose population is so reduced that they are threatened with extinction. Thousands of species are included in this category. The International Union for the Conservation of nature and Natural Resources publishes a list of threatened mammals‚ birds‚ reptiles‚ amphibians‚ and (many people do not consider them) plants .CAUSES OF EXTINCTION Millions of years before humans‚ extinction of living things was linked to geological and climate‚ the

Examples of natural selection Emperor Penguins An example of natural selection comes from animals in the Arctic. If the initial population has brown skin penguins and penguins with white skin‚ predators the penguins will see brown skin and therefore the penguins eat brown leather more often. Having fair skin and help to survive‚ and the gene for white skin will dominate the population. But if the population then migrates to a forested area‚ the penguins with dark skin have an advantage because

As I am always interested in the nature around us‚ I joined BMN in 1993‚ after I worked as a volunteer at the Wildlife Rescue Association for a few years and worked closely with Liz Thunstrom. Since my early retirement‚ Minnekhada became one of my favorite locations as I saw many horses in the stable‚ as well as a few Black Bears. During the time I carried (headed? Oversaw?) “Foster Home Project for Swallows” for Liz of WRA‚ I visited frequently the Minnekhada farm area‚ and became acquainted with

1 NATURAL RESOURCE CONFLICT MANAGEMENT AND RESOLUTION What are natural resource conflicts and their consequences? „h Natural resource conflicts are disagreements and disputes over access to‚ and control and use of‚ natural resources. „h These conflicts often emerge because people have different uses for resources such as forests‚ water‚ pastures and land‚ or want to manage them in different ways. „h Disagreements also arise when these interests and needs are incompatible‚ or when the priorities

India has been described as one of 12 mega-diversity countries possessing a rich means of all living organisms when biodiversity is viewed as a whole. The greater the multi-diversity of species‚ greater is the contribution to the biodiversity. India’s rich biological diversity - its immense range of ecosystems‚ species and genetic forms is by virtue of its tropical location‚ climate and physical features. India’s fabulous biodiversity is estimated to be over 45‚000 plant species representing about
