Wildlife conservation encompasses all human activities and efforts directed to preserve wild animals from extinction. It involves both protection and scientific management of wild species and their environment. Some species have become extinct due to natural causes‚ but the greatest danger to wildlife results from the activities of man. So we ourselves have created the need for conservation of wildlife. It can be viewed from several angles such as‚ beauty‚‚ economic value‚ scientific values for

Question 1 : The distribution of organisms in a community is affected by the biotic factors and abiotic factors. Abiotic factors are the non-living components in the ecosystem such as air‚ water‚ soil‚ temperature and light intensity. Biotic factors are the living components in the ecosystem such as animals and plants. In an ecosystem‚ the living organisms live together in their non-living environment and function as a unit. This dynamic system starts with species‚ populations‚ ecosystems‚ communities

Biology Vocabulary: 1. Immigration: influx of individuals into an area 2. Emigration: movement of individuals out an area. 3. Logistic growth: (shown with an S-shaped curve) population growth that levels off at carrying capacity. 4. Exponential growth: (shown as J-shaped curve) geometric increase of a population as it grows into an ideal unlimited environment. 5. Niche: the sum total of a species use of the abiotic and biotic resources in its environment 6. Symbiosis: an ecological relationship

Conservation biology is a scientific discipline that devotes its focus to maintaining and conserving the structural biological diversity of an ecosystem and its environment to prevent the loss of or threat to a species that is caused by human or invasive species that could result in the extinction of that species. According to the Fundamentals of Conservation Biology‚ conservation biology is concerned with “keeping the wave of species

Experiment title: conservation of mechanical energy Section: 8 Name: Ahmed Atari University ID: 201103848 Instructor: Ahmed Zainelabdin Submission date: May 1‚ 2014 Objective: the purpose of this lab is to investigate the law of conservation of energy. This can be achieved by measuring both potential and kinetic energy through the experiment conducted. Back ground: Kinetic energy is said to be the energy of motion. Kinetic

Question Response What is conservation biology? What is biodiversity? Conservation biology is the study of environmental problems that are caused by human actions. This would be the scientific study of the Earth’s biodiversity with the whole purpose from being extinct. In this field it helps in putting together

exploitation‚ however‚ as this may lead to the extinction of the species that inhabit them. Thus‚ there should be a good management of the ecosystems to prevent dire consequences as a result of overexploitation. One potential management plan is the conservation of resources in the ecosystems by regulating exploitation activities. In this respect‚ exploitation licenses should be required and exploitation should

Ex-situ conservation Ex-situ conservation means literally‚ "off-site conservation ". It is the process of protecting an endangered species of plant or animal by removing part of the population from a threatened habitat and placing it in a new location‚ which may be a wild area or within the care of humans. While ex-situ conservation comprises some of the oldest and best known conservation methods‚ it also involves newer‚ sometimes controversial laboratory methods. Colony relocation Normally
