ENERGY CONSERVATION IN INDIA INTRODUCTION India has made rapid strides towards economic self-reliance over the last few years. Impressive progress has been made in the fields of industry‚ agriculture‚ communication‚ transport and other sectors necessitating growing consumption of energy for developmental and economic activities. If India is to achieve the targeted growth in GDP‚ it would need commensurate input of energy‚ mainly commercial energy in the form of coal‚ oil‚ gas and electricity.

Importance for Wildlife Conservation * Maintains ecological balance & the organisms have their unique positions in food chains‚ food webs which keep ecological balance. * Wild life contributes to the maintenance of material cycles such as carbon and nitrogen cycles. * For improvement and progress in agriculture‚ animal husbandry and fisheries the genes from wild life preserved as gene bank are utilised in breeding programmes. * Wild life provides a number of useful products like food‚ medicine

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

Checkpoint: Conserve and Preserve Tania Torres After make a research about the meaning of terms preservation and conservation I found a lots of debates to the respect. After my research I can define conservation like the wise use of the natural resources maintaining the sustainability of them for future generations. The term preservation can be define as do not use the natural resources and maintain them as natural as possible. In other words avoid the human interference with the natural resources

IV Protected Area). Among these‚ the 28 Tiger Reserves are governed byProject Tiger‚ and are of special significance in the conservation of the tiger. 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)

Energy audit An energy audit is an inspection‚ survey and analysis of energy flows in a building‚ process or system with the objective of understanding the energy dynamics of the system under study. Typically an energy audit is conducted to seek opportunities to reduce the amount of energy input into the system without negatively affecting the output(s). When the object of study is an occupied building then reducing energy consumption while maintaining or improving human comfort‚ health and safety

Chapter 9 Wildlife and Nature Conservation 9.1 Protected Areas The first national park in India was declared in 1935‚ now famous as the Corbett National Park. Since Independence‚ there has been a steady rise in the number of Protected Areas (PAs) (National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries)‚ especially after the enactment of the Wildlife Protection Act in 1972. In 1988‚ there were 54 national parks and 372 sanctuaries covering a total area of 109‚652 sq km. By the year 2000‚ this number

All living non-domesticated animals‚even if bred‚hatched or born in captivity are considered wild animals. India has many unique and rare animals‚birds and reptiles.However the pressure of growing population in various states of India has led to the increasing need of using land for human habitations and agriculture.This has led to the reduced habitat of many wild animals.Even though India is known for its tigers‚elephants and rhinoceros‚it is home to over 500 mammal species.Antelopes and deer(like

20 THINGS YOU CAN DO TO CONSERVE ENERGY Whenever you save energy‚ you not only save money‚ you also reduce the demand for such fossil fuels as coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas. Less burning of fossil fuels also means lower emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ the primary contributor to global warming‚ and other pollutants. You do not have to do without to achieve these savings. There is now an energy efficient alternative for almost every kind of appliance or light fixture. That means that consumers
