Some of these include; Conflicts between animals and the tourists‚ the tourist vehicles damaging the ground‚ crops being grown that damage the natural habitat of certain animals‚ hunting‚ and added pollution.

Carbon Dioxide is a colorless‚ odorless gas that occurs in small quantities in the earth’s atmosphere naturally. The earth’s ocean‚ soil‚ plants and animals release CO2. The formula of Carbon Dioxide is CO2. The CO2 molecule contains 2 oxygen atoms that each share 2 electrons with a carbon atom to form 2 carbon - oxygen double bonds. The atoms are arranged as so (OHT). This is called a ’linear molecule’. Carbon dioxide is commonly found as a gas and is never a liquid. It sublimes to

Carbon Footprint briefly defined is the amount of CO2 left behind after any human activity. They can be classified into primary and secondary footprints. [ (McLean 2008) ] Primarily‚ it is the direct emission of CO2 from burning fossil fuels or any kind of fuels. They are considered the main and biggest source of CO2 emission‚ thus the having biggest Carbon Footprints. [ (McLean 2008) ] The CO2 emissions from all products and their life-cycles are considered as secondary footprints. The life-cycle

2013 Carbon Footprint Until very recently‚ most people had never heard of a “carbon footprint.” Now‚ all of a sudden‚ the phrase is hard to avoid. In an age of slick slogans‚ fast fashions and fickle fads it’s easy to assume that this is just another quirky passing gimmick. But it could well be the most important concept of our time. A carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted as a direct or indirect result of an activity (Yarrow‚ Joanna. How to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint:

The term carbon footprint‚ therefore‚ is a shorthand to describe the best estimate that we can get of the full climate change impact of something. That something could be anything – an activity‚ an item‚ a lifestyle‚ a company‚ a country or even the whole world. CO2e? What’s that? Man-made climate change‚ or global warming‚ is caused by the release of certain types of gas into the atmosphere. The dominant man-made greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ which is emitted whenever we burn fossil

Discuss the epidermal and dermal layer of skin and how each relates to the permanence of fingerprints. The outer layer is known as the epidermis‚ and the inner layer is known as the dermis. The bottom of the epidermis‚is adjacent to the dermis‚ is the generating layer of the epidermis and it is in this layer that new cells are formed. The skin is one of the largest organs in the body. The epidermis has many smaller layers. The dermal layer is the growth layer of skin and feeds the epidermis

a) Describe the physico-chemical qualities of water that are important to aquaculturists. Aquaculture can be defined as the high-density production of fish‚ shellfish and plant forms in a controlled environment. Stocking rates for high-density aquaculture are typically thousand fold greater than wild environments. Modern fish culturists employ both open and close systems to raise fish. Open systems‚ such as‚ the raceways are characterized by rapid turnover of water. Closed systems are commonplace
