Introduction

Over the years, there have many cities within the United States that have been developed in terms of infrastructure and housing facilities, leaving the case for landscape and sustainability of the natural resources behind. Historically, Los Angeles is one of the big cities that have been developed on the basis of utilizing the natural resources of the nearby region and focusing on building an urban metropolitan city. Sustainability has been put on the backfoot, for the past century as urbanization and incoming flow of population has seen investment in every form of infrastructure, leaving the once naturally beautiful region ...

According to researches many scientists still have not found the optimal solution for the safe and cost-effective waste management. Waste disposal and waste incineration do irreparable harm to human health and ...

BOOK REVIEW: HUNTERS AT THE MARGIN

Hunters at the Margin: Native People and Wildlife Conservation in the Northwest Territories by John Sandlos open my eyes to what conservation means to developers. I never will take for granted again that conservations are not wolves in sheep’s clothing. While reading the book I wanted the hunters to win so they would survive because the officials of parks and other government pieces of land were wearing the black hats. Government officials are definitely the bad guys forcing the natives to go without food in the 1950s (xvi) when food was hard to find without going on government ...

Abstract

The population of any species should be preserved using any means necessary. There are genetic preservation and natural preservation. The genetic preservation strategy takes a shorter time than the natural strategy. A hypothesis was developed to establish the possible breeding options that were available. Also, lab tests were conducted on the same breeding topic. The kind of breeding strategy that was used is crucial to the development and sustenance of the population. There exists planned breeding strategy and planned breeding strategy. However, the random breeding strategy is prone to inbreeding. This refers to the breeding of species that are ...

The main issues in the reconciliation between sustainability, conservation, resource utilization, preservation, and ecological change are usually connected to both political and economic contexts. The sustainable development directly depends on the implementation of the national strategies. Mainly, every aspect of the national policy is affected by the issues in the reconciliation. The main problem is the fact that due to the different approaches there are various points of view on the issue. In particular, different countries have the bigger or smaller determination to the economy and environmental problems. Thus, due to the apparent differences in necessary strategies and development, ...

The video and the tourism capacity material I went through this week indicates how to improve development in the protected areas. Additionally, the materials show how the introduction of tourism in protected areas can lead to environmental depletion. The thought indicates how remote areas are underdeveloped and bringing tourists into remote areas may lead to the economic development of the areas due to the money brought by visitors to the area. For that reason, the locals will benefit from the development of infrastructure and market creation for their domestic products (Lockwood, Worboys and Kothari, 2006, P 28). Moreover, the ...

Never before have people taken keen interest in the issue of environmental conservation and land ethics than in the present day America. With increasing population, changed land use patterns and tourism activities, the environmental and land conservation movement has taken the anthropocentric viewpoint, an ideology that all the earth’s resources exist for the good of humans and their consumption. Further, according to Norton (1992), there is now more focus on the value of nature and human interaction. To Nelson, this symbiotic relationship between humans and their environment or land must mean more appropriate and progressive land conservation policies. ...

The reading of the course materials and watching of supplementary vides on natural resource management reveals that human wellbeing is dependent upon improved management of natural resources. While the human race has made tremendous progress through exploitation of the natural environment, they have not handled the management of the physical environment well. Watching the video on human quest reveals that while the world has tremendous diversity in biodiversity, people have not been conscious of their impact on the ecosystem. Nonetheless, the present generation is continuously becoming aware of sustainable ways of exploiting the natural environment. In the video The ...

Introduction

Time was, revenue-obsessed executives and owners used to disregard the social and ethical components to their business. There has come a time when business has become the environment- and society-centric.

While many attempt to correct what we have done to the planet, others speculate it may be too late to repair the damage we ...

This theory indicates that the number of species in an island is a representation of the equilibrium between competing forces of colonization and extinction (Manceau et al, 347). This theory indicates that when the number of species present in an island increases, the rate of immigration reduces, hence a high rate of competition that leads to extinction of the small number of species (Manceau et al, 348). In relation to places that are not Islands, this theory indicates that immigration is generally higher to islands that located near mainland compared to islands that are located far away from islands. ...

Reflective Statement

Taking the course has brought me to a deeper understanding and appreciation of what nature has given us freely and a realization of what contributions I make in the process of destroying her. It is fascinating to realize that everything we do has an effect on either its preservation or tearing down. This makes our attitude or actions towards her very important and critical because if she is destroyed, its inhabitants will also be destroyed along with her.

The last three months has been like going through an evolution. An evolution of knowing what my lifestyle is contributing to the ...

Introduction.

When teaching science, instructors use a specialized language that has many dissimilarities from the language that students generally use throughout the day (O’Toole, 2003). Each different occasion for language has a set of intrinsic purposes, values and characteristics, and the purpose of these different traits is to demonstrate the unique properties of that category of language. For example, in scientific language, there is an emphasis on precision in diction, as well as conciseness and clarity. No matter what the language is, writers hope to achieve a style that is comprehensible to its readers while remaining true to the aims of the ...

Biology is pertinent in studying about life. The subject has assisted me in understanding of the world and its inhabitants. Often, many people fail to comprehend the importance of species diversity. Some people are not able to understand the role played by microorganisms such as bacteria. There is much emphasis on the problems that fungi and bacteria cause. It is not easy for most people to visualize the positive role played by microorganisms. There is scarcity of resources in the planet. This means that organisms must compete for such resources. Perhaps, man fears competition. Maybe, I was once one ...

Admittedly, Visiting the Auschwitz museum gives one an opportunity to find a strangely familiar and unfathomable place. In the age of so many books, movies, and photographs, it is tempting for people to think that the museum is a movie set-death camp rather than a real historic site. In respect to this, it is pertinent to changes some aspects of the museum to make it more educative and resourceful to visitors. However, change is not always favorable. While changes to improve the present standing of the museum are necessary, it would be more rewarding if the idea does not compromise the authenticity ...

Part 1: Summary

Currently, human activities have increased the rate of species’ extinction. It is, however, difficult to predict the actual rate. Skeptics point out that some predictions in the past have failed to produce the magnitude of the forecast extinctions. Various ecologists use the species-area relationship (SAR) to predict the extinction rates associated with habitat loss (Rybicki and Hanski). The SAR works on the principle that the number of species in a given location increases as the size of the habitat area enlarges. In backward SAR, the reduction in habitat area decreases the species’ number. Though successful in some estimates, the assumption ...

Conclusion

Oil and gas industry is a major economic driver for any country. For every single job created by Alberta’s energy development, approximately one indirect job becomes available in Canada. Development of the Canadian oil industry will make purchases of $117 billion in services and supplies over the next 25 years from other provinces within Canada. However, these benefits do not come without cost (Mufson and Eilperin, 2014). A report in 2008 showed that 30.6 percent of the Canadian population from the western region contributed 37.5 percent of the country’s GDP (Mufson and Eilperin, 2014). This modest performance has ...

The environment is our source of livelihood. It is through the environment that we obtain natural resources such as clean water, timber, and aesthetic beauty. However, over the years man has massively taken resources from the environment without seeking to create mechanisms that can allow the same resources to be available in the future. For example, man has continued to harvest forests for timber. As much as timber is important for the construction of various structures such as housing, the fact remains that the harvesting of timber reduces the number of trees in our forests. Trees play an important ...

In physics, energy is loosely defined as the ability to do work. This definition often takes into assumption that energy can’t be directly observed but only its effects can be observed. Therefore, energy can only be defined by what it does not what it is. From this definition, it is clear that energy is used to do some work. From the definition of work, it is also clear that energy is the ability to exert a certain force on a body or particle of mass. Sources of energy can be broadly divided into two categories. The major categories ...

Corridors and Population Dispersion

Part I. Introduction and Review of Relevant Biology

1. Energy transfer becomes inefficient in higher trophic levels in a food chain. Predators utilize more energy in obtaining food than their prey. The number of organisms and the amount of biomass defines energy relationships among organisms in trophic levels. Most top predators are huge in size but their population is lower because there is not enough energy to support a large population of these predators (Odum and Barrett).

2. A population of infinite size is seen less likely to evolve since it would be almost resistant to random fluctuations within the environment. Small populations on the other hand are prone ...
