and collapse of basic wildlife protection capacity during the last decade. This “mission-drift” has resulted from several causes: lack of political will‚ deterioration in the quality of forest administration‚ and the influence of international conservation paradigms that blindly promote “sustainable use” as a solution‚ while failing to recognize the overexploited status of the forest resources targeted for such use. What‚ in your opinion‚ are the most urgent threats to wildlife? By far the

Water Conservation Water conservation is important because we depend on it. So many of our daily activities‚ like bathing or flushing the toilet‚ require fresh water. Our body even needs water to function correctly. Seventy-one percent of the Earth’s surface is made up of water. Ninety-eight percent of it all is salt water‚ leaving only two percent as fresh water. More than half of the fresh water is permanently frozen in glaciers or is in the form of snow. That leaves just a tiny

Second example: Coal is burned‚ and then used as thermal energy for heat‚ next the steam is used for mechanical energy. Energy is never destroyed but changed to forms like thermal energy‚ gravitational energy‚ electromagnetic

Soils Conservation: Easier - Soil is the loose top layer of our planet’s crust. It is dirt or earth in which plant life can grow. Harder - Soil covers a major portion of the earth’s land surface. It is an important natural resource that either directly or indirectly supports most of the planet’s life. Life here depends upon soil for food. Plants are rooted in soil and obtain needed nutrients there. Animals get their nutrients from plants or from other animals that eat plants. Many animals make
