Conservation of the Asiatic Lion. The Asiatic lion‚ also know as Panthera leo persica‚ is from the Gir Forest National Park‚ which works closely with the Wildlife Conservation Trust who specialise in the conservation of the Asiatic lion‚ in dry deciduous forest and open grassy scrublands in the state of Gujarat which is located in India. The population of the Asiatic lion is over 300 and so this specie’s status is defined endangered. The Asiatic lion could once be found in Eastern Europe‚ Turkey

Conservation of energy and transformation of energy. By Paige‚ Stacie‚ Amelia. Objectives Learning about Conservation of energy Learning about transformation of energy Conservation – Preserving a substance. Metabolism Metabolism is a process in which you break down foods into calories and these are combined with oxygen to release the energy that your body needs in order to function/live. This is a very complicated bio-chemical process. Metabolism is essential for the energy for these functions:

Energy conservation is a very important part of energy planning and its management. It not only saves energy resources for future‚ avoids wasteful utilisation of energy‚ provides solution to energy crisis and ensures higher per capita availability/ consumption but controls environmental degradation and pollution. New strategy emphasies greater reliance on non-exhaustible and non-conventional sources of energy so as to conserve exhaustible conventional resources like coal‚ petroleum‚ natural gas

Did the Conservation Movement of the Early Twentieth Century Successfully Preserve the American Environment? T.H. Watkins argues that the movement did preserve the environment because of Gifford Pinchot’s role with the forest. Watkins states‚ “President Roosevelt would establish the first federal wildlife refuge” (158)‚ and the forest will be handed to Pinchot’s care. He became the first the nation’s first chief forester and divided land with rangers in charge of each land to make sure laws were

Some wildlife sanctuaries are specifically named Bird Sanctuary‚ eg. Keoladeo National Park before attained National Park status. Many National Parks were initially Wildlife Sanctuaries. Wildlife sanctuaries of national importance to conservation‚ usually due to some flagship faunal species‚ are named National Wildlife Sanctuary‚ like National Chambal (Gharial)

QUESTION( Conservation of Energy) 1. Missy Diwater‚ the former platform diver for the Ringling Brother’s Circus had a kinetic energy of 15 000 J just prior to hitting the bucket of water. If Missy’s mass is 50 kg‚ then what is her speed? Solution: According to energy conservation‚ the kinetic energy at the bottom of the dive (15‚000J) is equal to her gravitational potential energy before the dive. We can use this fact to find her dive height: PE = mgh h = PE/mg = 15‚000J / (50kg)(9.81m/s²)
