DNA studies have revealed that traditional species‚ as defined by taxonomists‚ contain a vast amount of ’cryptic’ diversity -- such as different lineages‚ or even species within species. Carsten Nowak‚ a conservation biologist at the Senckenberg Research Institutes and Natural History Museum in Gelnhausen‚ Germany‚ and his colleagues have made a first attempt to understand how global warming might affect this form of diversity. Their findings are published

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

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.

Finding a balance while travelling in the Galapagos is an art; one that challenges‚ inspires and reveals many aspects of life in the archipelago. From the outside‚ the tensions between conservation and tourism are palatable. One side bestowing the virtues of protecting the fragile ecology of the islands while the other is intent on sharing the multitudes of options for an “ideal” vacation with whomever will lend an ear. When talking with people who live and work in the islands‚ the lines blur between

The international organization World Wide Fund for Nature works on issues regarding conservation‚ research‚ and restoration of the environment. The WWF was formed on April 26‚ 1961‚ when a small group of passionate individuals had the idea of building a future where humans live in harmony with nature. Their mission was to preserve the planet’s
