vision of the TKNP is to “endeavour towards the conservation of the TKNP through the integrated‚ effective and adaptive management of ecological systems‚ cultural heritage‚ and responsible tourism. As aregional partner‚ parks develop and maintain community participation and empowerment” (Strauss and Cowell‚ 2014). In by 1996 it was reported that only 2.82% of this biome was conserved and was therefore regarded

DESCRIPTION OF KHADIMNAGAR NATIONAL PARK Khadimnagar National Park ‚ previously known as Khadimnagar Reserve Forest(1957) is consist of 1676.73 acres of area. It was declared as Khadimnagar National Park in 13 May 2006. Khadimnagar National Park is one of the most important protected areas of Bangladesh‚ because of its interesting biodiversity composition. It is a resourceful mixed semi-evergreen and evergreen forest. It comprises floral resources‚ Funal resources‚ NTFPs resources‚ timber resources

INTRODUCTION According to Oxford Dictionary‚ biodiversity means the state of having a large amount of different number of animals and plants which make a balanced environment. Biodiversity is also known as flora and fauna. The meaning of flora is all the plants growing in a particular area while fauna means all the animals of an area or a period of time. Rafflessia for flora while tiger for fauna is a case in point. Crisis on the other hand means a time of great danger or difficulty‚ the moment

Investigating Effects of duration of heating on permeability of beetroot cell membrane Introduction: Cell membranes contain many different types of molecules which have different roles in the overall structure of the membrane. Phospholipids form a bilayer‚ which is the basic structure of the membrane. Their non-polar tails form a barrier to most water soluble substances. Membrane proteins serves as channels for transport of metabolites‚ some act as enzymes or carriers‚ while some are receptors

Aim: The aim of this experiment is to investigate the process of Electrophoresis and successfully analyse DNA fragments. Hypothesis: That the experiment will show the visual representation of DNA proteins‚ and that the shorter the band the further is will travel. Background: Restriction enzymes are DNA-cutting enzymes found in bacteria‚ which cut DNA into smaller fragments. A restriction enzyme recognizes and cuts DNA only at a particular sequence of nucleotides‚ known as restriction sites

it must be the duty‚ but at this stage even a challenge‚ of the community and of each individual‚ to preserve the world’s biodiversity without drastically reducing the use of resources‚ which humans need in order to survive. The importance of conservation of biodiversity is of fundamental importance‚ as if the situation won’t be meliorated‚ future generations will have to adapt to an impoverished world‚ where‚ thanks to the ignorance and disrespect of the previous generations‚ there will be a much

CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) CITES is an international agreement between governments which aims to protect wild plants and animals and to ensure that international trade does not threaten their survival. Although many of traded wildlife species are not endangered‚ the existence of CITES agreement would safeguard these resources end ensure their trade is sustainable. The trade of wildlife species could be in the form of live animals

tolerance of environmental extremes‚ dispersal and colonizing ability‚ the timing of seasonal and annual cycles (phenology)‚ disease resistance‚ and many other traits…to ignore genetic variation is to ignore one of the fundamental forces that shape the biology of living organisms” (Falk‚ D.‚ Knapp‚ E.‚ & Guerrant‚ E.‚ 2001). Genetic diversity also affords different organisms to change with the ever-changing environment around them. Environmental variation‚ over time‚ is known as natural or historic range

Natural resources occur naturally within environments that exist relatively undisturbed by humanity‚ in a natural form. A natural resourceis often characterized by amounts of biodiversity and geodiversity existent in various ecosystems. Natural resources are derived from the environment. Some of them are essential for our survival while most are used for satisfying our needs. Natural resources may be further classified in different ways. Natural resources are materials and components (something

Josh P. AP Biology 12-10-13 Lab Writeup The Effect of Transformation of pGLO in Bacteria Background/Objectives/Hypothesis: Genetic transformation is a process that primarily is inserting new DNA into an organism to change that organism’s trait. This process has many useful benefits when used correctly in different organisms. In this lab‚ bacteria was transformed by inserting DNA for Green Fluorescent Proteins. The DNA for these proteins were taken from bioluminescent jellyfish Aequorea
