60-70% of the world’s total biodiversity exists. India has two out of the 18 biodiversity hot spots in the world. India has rich traditional knowledge and wisdom in the conservation of nature and natural resources. Religious beliefs‚ culture and folklore have together treated nature and environment with sanctity. Conservation and protection of environment and love for nature have always been part and parcel of Indian ethos and culture. Independent India has traveled a long way on the path

Abstract: In this experiment‚ two object collided both elastically and in inelastically‚ the purpose of this experiment is to study the principle of conservation of momentum in collisions using two bodies. We also calculated the amount of kinetic energy in elastic and inelastic collisions before and after the collision. Introduction: When bodies collide with each other‚ the total momentum p = mv‚ is always conserved regardless of the type of collision provided no external forces are present. There

Save Forests and Wildlife As man learnt about nature he started to interfere with the laws of nature. He cut off the forests for agriculture and tamed wild animals for his food and clothing. Man was able to conquer nature‚ yet he can ’t control it. A balance exists between all living and non-living things in nature. Ecological disasters are bound to happen if there is any disturbance in the natural equilibrium. Increased industrialization and human requirements have led to the destruction of our

America’s Zoos: Entertainment to Conservation The children run ahead‚ squealing with delight. Their parents lag behind holding the children’s brightly colored balloons and carrying the remnants of the half-eaten cotton candy. The family stops to let the children ride the minitrain and take pictures together under the tree. They walk hand- in-hand toward the exit‚ stopping first at the gift shop where they each splurge on a treat to remind them of the day’s adventure. Although this may sound

The prosperity of world depends on the sustainable conservation method our society make while also meet the basic needs of residents. All these protections needs developing countries and developed countries collaborate to ensure the conservation progress. Thus‚ we can easily conclude that individuals can hardly handle the environmental issue. First

The Giant Panda Conservation Project Although pandas are highly regarded and have a relatively low number of natural predators‚ they are an endangered species. Humans have severely threatened the panda ’s existence also so that now there are fewer than 1‚600 of them left in the wild. This peaceful creature with a distinctive black and white coat is adored by the world and considered a national treasure in China (WWF‚ 2013). The bear also is of special importance to the World Wildlife

In 1995 there were 26‚106 species of mammals‚ birds‚ reptiles‚ amphibians‚ fishes invertebrates and plant that were considered endangered‚ vulnerable rare or indeterminate‚ (Watson‚ 1995‚ 26)‚ that figure is certainly higher today. Conservation biologists warn that 25 percent of all species could become extinct during the next twenty to thirty years (Shiva et al‚ 1991‚ 15). The difference between the previous extinctions and the ones currently taking place are the time line and the

but the population is decreasing due to people hunting the seals and their predators such as killer whales and sharks. They live from 12 to 30 years. Range They travel throughout the Pacific rim from Japan to the channel islands of California. Habitat Fur seals live mostly in open water. They only go on land for pupping and breeding. They are only seen on mainland when they are sick. They don’t share any of their territory or food with other species like them‚ such as the sea lion. Food

QUESTION( Conservation of Energy) 1. Missy Diwater‚ the former platform diver for the Ringling Brother’s Circus had a kinetic energy of 15 000 J just prior to hitting the bucket of water. If Missy’s mass is 50 kg‚ then what is her speed? Solution: According to energy conservation‚ the kinetic energy at the bottom of the dive (15‚000J) is equal to her gravitational potential energy before the dive. We can use this fact to find her dive height: PE = mgh h = PE/mg = 15‚000J / (50kg)(9.81m/s²)
