Chapter 9 Wildlife and Nature Conservation 9.1 Protected Areas The first national park in India was declared in 1935‚ now famous as the Corbett National Park. Since Independence‚ there has been a steady rise in the number of Protected Areas (PAs) (National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries)‚ especially after the enactment of the Wildlife Protection Act in 1972. In 1988‚ there were 54 national parks and 372 sanctuaries covering a total area of 109‚652 sq km. By the year 2000‚ this number

For every suicide that has occured‚ 25 people have attempted to end

the most cost effective means for establishing national and global conservation priorities.” Conservationists are challenged with the problem of protecting a range of species at minimal costs. As such conservationists have to prioritize to help those in most need of assistance or trouble (Myers et al. 2000). Therefore‚ many conservationists have adopted the surrogate species approach as a shortcut to aid with the conservation priority decision (Caro and O’ Doherty 1999). The surrogate species

through soils is very important. It is well known that about 70% area in this country is subject to varying degree of water stress. There are areas with heavy rainfall but water problems become predominant during non-monsoon periods. It is thus a matter of concern to create a redistribution system and requirements as and when it is needed. Although there are many methods for water management‚ the two important methods are mentioned as follows. (I) Watershed management (II) Rainwater harvesting (I)

Lab 5 Conservation of Momentum and Energy Abstract The physics laws governing conservation of momentum and mechanical energy were investigated by performing multiple experiments with differing conditions. Conservation laws state energy is to be conserved in systems with no net external forces. Two trials consisted of inelastic collisions and two trials consisted of elastic conditions.
