The roles of Zoos in conservation The main aim of zoos is to protect and conserve global biodiversity and wildlife. To do this they have four roles to play which are; research‚ conservation‚ education and welfare. Research: Research is the careful search or inquiry for new facts by scientific study of a subject‚ through a course of critical investigation. By studying animals we can learn new things about their behaviour and lifestyle. The Secretary of State’s Standards of Modern Zoo Practice (SSSMZP)

Water is an integral part of land/soil productivity. Its misuse can cause both degradation and erosion of soils. Management of water resource is considered to necessary for well being of human life as well as crop yields. There is a gap between the seasonal availability of water and its equitable supply throughout the year. Accordingly the storage of water and passage through soils is very important. It is well known that about 70% area in this country is subject to varying degree of water stress

In today’s world‚ most of us know that it is important to turn off lights and other electrical appliances to conserve energy‚ but not everyone understands that the reason for the emphasis on cutting back on the use of energy is due to the inevitable depletion of our environment’s nonrenewable resources. Of course‚ electric power is not the only factor that has lead to our supply of nonrenewable resources declining in recent decades. The overdependence on natural gas and oil to fuel our cars and
