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

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

Distinguish between a liability and a environmental liability. Is there any difference in the principle? A liability is a present obligation of the enterprise arising from the past events‚ the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow from the enterprise of resources embodying economic benefits whereas An environmental liability is an obligation to pay future expenditures to remedy environmental damage that has occurred because of past events or transactions‚ or to compensate a

GENERAL WATER SAVING TIPS 1. Create an awareness of the need for water conservation among your children. Avoid the purchase of recreational water toys which require a constant stream of water. 2. Be aware of and follow all water conservation and water shortage rules and restrictions which may be in effect in your area. 3. Encourage your employer to promote water conservation at the workplace. Suggest that water conservation be put in the employee orientation manual and training program.

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

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)

Conservation and Research of the Crested Ibis MENG GAO 300206414 Instructor: Dale Donovan 03/03/2014 Diversity of species plays an extremely important role in the human ecosystem. The extinction of one species may lead to the extinction of dozens of associated species. Thus‚ the demise of a certain species may result in the imbalance and even collapse of the entire ecosystem. Therefore‚ protecting and saving endangered species has a significant importance
