Jim Robbins wrote “America’s Gray Ghosts: The Disappearing Caribou” for The New York Times in order to raise the issue of struggling caribou populations in North America and encourage a government response. Robbin advocates for the protection of caribou by referencing experts on the topic in order to establish his authority and statistics that support his argument on a logical level. In order to establish his credibility‚ Robbins uses the knowledge of experts on caribou biology. Robbin establishes

“BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY ACT‚2002” was passed by the Lok Sabha on 2nd December‚ 2002 and by the Rajya Sabha on 11th December‚2002. It primarily focuses on regulating the access to biological resources of the country‚ the sustainable conservation of biodiversity‚ to create national‚ state and local biodiversity fund to conserve. One of its primary aim to include the local communities and local bodies in policy making was to respect and protect their traditional knowledge. The act also declared

Explain using law of conservation of energy. (use values of KE and PE for cart with mass attached) According to the law of conservation of energy‚ in an isolated system‚ the initial potential energy and the kinetic energy should be the same.
