Wildlife & Conservation Statistics Extinction of Species • Every 20 minutes‚ the world adds another 3‚500 human lives but loses one or more entire species of animal or plant life - at least 27‚000 species per year. (Source: PBS) • At the present rates of extinction‚ as many as 20% of the world’s 7-15 million species could be gone in the next 30 years. This rate of extinction has been unprecedented since the disappearance of dinosaurs 65 million years ago (Source: WWF). Habitat Destruction (Source:

Starbucks & Conservation International I. Starbucks & Conservation International - Introduction & Background Today Starbucks is more than a coffee chain and Conservation International is hardly a household name. Through its efforts‚ Starbucks has transformed into a location where friends to catch up‚ colleagues can have impromptu meetings‚ and others simply get their coffee fix for the day. Thinking back to Starbuck’s humble beginnings‚ they only sold roasted coffee blends‚ tea‚ and spices

Lab 5 Conservation of Momentum and Energy Abstract The physics laws governing conservation of momentum and mechanical energy were investigated by performing multiple experiments with differing conditions. Conservation laws state energy is to be conserved in systems with no net external forces. Two trials consisted of inelastic collisions and two trials consisted of elastic conditions. Photogate software helped decipher initial and final velocities in order

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

Did the Conservation Movement of the Early Twentieth Century Successfully Preserve the American Environment? T.H. Watkins argues that the movement did preserve the environment because of Gifford Pinchot’s role with the forest. Watkins states‚ “President Roosevelt would establish the first federal wildlife refuge” (158)‚ and the forest will be handed to Pinchot’s care. He became the first the nation’s first chief forester and divided land with rangers in charge of each land to make sure laws were

FREE FALL AND CONSERVATION OF MECHANICAL ENERGY ABSTRACT Free fall is defined as the ideal falling motion of an object that is subject only to the earth’s gravitational field. To prove the law of conservation of energy‚ the free fall motion of an object can be represented through 3 different analyses; position of the object vs. time‚ velocity of the object vs. time‚ and acceleration of the object vs. time. It is observed in this ball toss experiment‚ at any point during the free fall period‚

Conservation of the Asiatic Lion. The Asiatic lion‚ also know as Panthera leo persica‚ is from the Gir Forest National Park‚ which works closely with the Wildlife Conservation Trust who specialise in the conservation of the Asiatic lion‚ in dry deciduous forest and open grassy scrublands in the state of Gujarat which is located in India. The population of the Asiatic lion is over 300 and so this specie’s status is defined endangered. The Asiatic lion could once be found in Eastern Europe‚ Turkey
