Believe me. Trees are as much holistically breathing gas us; The wind perpetually exhaling from even the most infinitesimal pore of their emolliently serrated skin; is an unconquerably undefeated testimonial to the same. Believe me. Trees are as immortally loving as us; the unbreakable relationships that they form with every conceivably philanthropic entity of the atmosphere and beyond; is a timelessly exemplary testimonial to the same. So The Next time you think of chopping a tree for “Paper” or spuriously turgid bonfires to passionately enlighten your every dreary night; remember that you’d be insanely annihilating one human of your own kind, Instead.

...Manas Indian Wildlife Sanctuary By: Joanne Petrie SCI/230 Robert Griffin Axia College 7/15/11 Describing the diversity of life forms found in the foothills of the Himalayas, on a gentle slope where the wooded forests give way to streams, and grasslands the Manas wildlife sanctuary is a home place habitat to many of a variety of endangered species and wildlife. The Indian rhino and Indian elephant and the pygmy wild hog, and tiger are the main endangered wildlife species that are threatened. (UNESCO.org). The Manas wildlife sanctuary received its name from the Goddess of Manasa and the location is well known by its reputation for its striking and sensational scenery, with a variety of wildlife environments where plant and animal life naturally or normally lives and grows. The Biological Interrelationships The biology to life and the living processes of the sanctuary is founded by the UNESCO Natural World Heritage site, a Tiger Reserve Project, an Elephant Reserve and a Biosphere Reserve in Assam, India, and is in contact touching along a boundary with the Royal Manas National park in Bhutan. The sanctuary is well known for its endangered and rare wildlife species like the Pygmy hog, tiger, and Assam Roofed Turtle, Asian Monkeys, and Hispid Hare. The goal of the National reserves is to preserve and fully fund the sanctuary to keep the wildlife from becoming extinct and alive and to thrive for many years to come. This is an effort...

...Interpretation is an important component as a means of influencing or even changing environmental attitudes and/or behaviour of visitors to protected areas. The two important components are communicating ideas and enriching visitor experiences. This essay will define interpretation and discuss the effectiveness of interpretation as a means of influencing or even changing environmental attitudes and/or behaviour of visitors to protected areas and evaluate the roles of tourism and environmental agencies in managing & controlling the impacts of tourism in protected areas. For the purpose of this research more visitor-focused definition will be used. Definition of Interpretation There are two ways to describe interpretation. The first would be listing the forms of interpretation. For example: information centre, guide walk and tour, guidebook, brochures and signs or pamphlets that provide information of the protected areas The example given above could be suggested that interpretation incorporates all the various ways in which organizer seek to communicate with their visitors. It is also sometimes refer to as visitors’ education. Recently interpretation has been use as a recognized element of other types of attraction such as theme parks. The increase usage of interpretive activities reflects growing competition between attractions and increasing expectations from visitors. (Harris, 2005) Given the wide range of places where interpretation is used, it is not surprising to...

...WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT IN NIGERIA: PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS. Nigeria has a population estimate of 170,507,539 million and is increasing with a rapid growth averaging 3.1% annually. It’s the 7th most populous country of the world with the land mass of 923,708km2, making her the world’s 32nd largest country. The geography varies greatly from tropical rainforest in the South to dry savannah in the North ,which is flat and sparsely vegetated. The country is blessed with mineral, physical, biological and energy resources. From the mangrove and rain forests of the south, through the various savannahs, and semi-arid ecosystems of the north, the nation is richly endowed. But what went wrong? The word ‘wildlife’ brings to mind ‘animals in the forest’. It is difficult to give a specific definition of the word. However, wildlife traditionally refers to non-domesticated animal species, but has come to include all plants, fungi and other organisms which grow or live wild in an area without being introduced by humans. The term ‘wildlife management’ on the other hand I will refer to mean preservation and conservation or maintenance of wildlife resources. Also it is the art of maintaining balance in the needs of wildlife and the needs of people using the best science. It includes game keeping, wildlife conservation and control, which aims to halt the loss in the earth’s biodiversity by taking into consideration ecological principles such as carrying capacity, disturbance and succession and environmental...

...On April 20 a wellhead on the Deepwater Horizon oil drilling platform blew out in the Gulf of Mexico approximately 40 miles southeast of the Louisiana coastline. What BP had initially claimed would be a spill with “minimal impact”, 69 days later now constitutes the largest offshore oil spill in U.S. history. Today the well is conservatively estimated to be leaking at a rate of 1,900,000–3,000,000 litres per day—though several expert estimates based on footage of the spill suggest the actual rate is more likely to be 3 to 5 times higher than this. The unusually wide disparity in expert estimates is due to the fact that BP has continually denied the requests of a number of independent scientists to set up instruments on the ocean floor that could measure the rate of the leak more accurately. “The answer is ‘no’ to that,” a BP spokesman, Tom Mueller, said earlier this month. “We’re not going to take any extra efforts now to calculate flow there at this point. It’s not relevant to the response effort, and it might even detract from the response effort.” Mueller’s remarks continue to be a source of serious controversy: just how is it that measuring the rate at which oil is gushing from the well would serve as a hindrance to the response effort? Even more baffling is how one could possibly construe the measurement as irrelevant. If we don’t know how big the mess is, how exactly are we to adequately prepare for cleaning it up? One would think the U.S. government...

...The history of Wildlife Conservation Society research in India began in the 1960's - with the first-ever scientific study of wild tigers in central India by George Schaller. Henceforth, following a break of two decades, Ullas Karanth accelerated the present WCS-India program as a single tiger research project at Nagarhole in the year 1986. Ever since, WCS-India has developed into a comprehensive collection of activities that revolve around major global conservation strategies of WCS - scientific research, national capacity building, site-based conservation and developing new models of wildlife conservation. Acting synchronously, all these initiatives have contributed significantly to wildlife conservation in India and rest of the world during the last three decades. Wildlife Conservation Society India Program India is a mega-diversity country that is distinctly rich in vertebrate fauna. This is a result of its distinct biosphere, and, evolutionary and social histories it has faunal elements from the Indo-Malayan, Afro-tropical and palearctic regions. India boasts of about 500 species of mammal, 2000 types of Bird and at least 30,000 kinds of insects, providing an unmatched range and diversity. Book a Wildlife Tour India has an age old culture that considers human as a part of nature rather than as its masters; that displays a higher degree of equitableness for other life forms in contrast to any other part of the world. Partly as a result - and partly due to India's colonial...

Strobel, Dean Graduate School Dr. Daniel Pletscher Director Wildlife Biology Program Dr. Kerry Foresman Division of Biological Sciences Dr. Mark Hebblewhite Wildlife Biology Program Lodhi, Asad M.S. May 2007 Wildlife Biology Conservation of leopard in Ayubia National Park, Pakistan Director: Dr. Daniel H. Pletscher Large carnivores are important for biodiversity and ecosystem function, yet are very difficult to conserve because of their large home ranges and conflicts with humans. I examined human-leopard conflicts in and near Ayubia National Park, Pakistan, to provide management recommendations for the conservation of leopards. Persecution of leopards by humans has been on the rise primarily due to depredation on livestock and risk to human lives. Since 1989, 16 humans have either been killed or injured in and around Ayubia National Park while leopards faced 44 human-caused mortalities during the same period. I examined the management strategy adopted by NWFP Wildlife Department for leopard conservation, identify gaps, and suggest possible management actions to mitigate the conflicts. For this purpose, I reviewed the management of carnivores including mountain...

...Resolving an inherent dilemma-Wildlife vs. Aircrafts MGMT 408 Abstract The recent times since the birth of aviation industry by the Wright Brothers (2005) has seen a massive change in its structure and functioning. As technology advanced more convoluted are the efforts to carry on this gigantic trade of huge mechanical birds on the sky, which nevertheless have to share the natural domain of the birds. One of the major concerns of the aviation industry is also contributed by the obstacles faced to minimize hazards (2012) of wildlife on the human terrain without harming the natural territory. Through this review, a focus is made on the dilemmas faced and efficacy of remedies taken to mitigate the concerns of wildlife strikes in Airport safety. Introduction The natural population of birds took to air about millions of years ago until, the intelligent and progressive human kind started using its airspace more than 100 years ago. So this great invention which is technically called the “Mechanical Bird” or “Airplane” uses the same airspace as birds making the collisions inevitable. Records show that shortly after Wright Brother’s took to air on 1903 and shortly thereafter the first bird strike was reported on September 7, 1905, when Oliver Wright’s aircraft hit a bird (probably a red-winged blackbird) as he flew over Dayton, Ohio (2005). To one’s surprise birds are not the only threat to an airplane, certain...

...The Use of Animals for Human Entertainment Adults take children to the circus, zoo, rodeos, movies, and marine parks to see different kinds of animals quite frequently. When people are young, they grow accustomed to seeing animals in these different environments and do not think of the harm it is potentially causing the animals. People do not typically know the habitats and conditions in which the animals live; they just see charming animals. Animals are being removed from their natural habitats to be placed into captivity for human enjoyment. Numerous animals in entertainment are being treated in barbaric and harsh ways. The use of animals for human amusement certainly involves removing animals from their habitats and putting them into inhumane conditions. Numerous laws prohibit the use of animals in entertainment. Since animals are abused and exported for a few moments of human entertainment, laws must be implemented to protect animals from abuse and exportation for the selfish entertainment of people. The owners of animals in entertainment are often not willing to pay for the costs of large cages or are unable to have large cages for the animals. When these animals are enclosed in small and overcrowded spaces, it often leads to filthy living conditions and animals’ fighting for their territory. Fighting can cause physical injury and weakness to the animals. “A negative side-effect associated with the physical environment provided to dolphins in captivity has been...

...Wildlife Conservation Adam Burdick Bryant & Stratton College NSCI 280 Professor Wooten 10/20/2013 Human beings are considered to be the most advance species on the planet. This also makes us the most intrusive species on the planet. We effect our environment more than any other living creature. Our populations continue to grow exponentially each year and as they do we intrude on other species habitats even more. Considering we are the most advanced species it is our responsibility to ensure the safety of all other species and do what we can to shorten the endangered species list. The conservation of wildlife is an incredibly important goal that all people should take part in. “Successful species conservation has often been defined as simply the avoidance of extinction” (Redford 2011.) This is the most important goal of anyone interested in wildlife conservation. It is important for us as a species to take responsibility and make the effort to keep other species away from extinction. Wildlife conservation is not something that can only be handled by professional members of organizations. Anyone can do their part to help protect a species in need. In some cases it is as simple as refraining from harmful activities such as hunting for sport. Hunting is a major conservation concern (Selvan & Veeraswami, p11.) If people raise awareness about how hunting effects the populations of large bodied animals perhaps we can help to reduce the damage done to these...
