compiled this into what today is known as the Red and Transmutation notebooks. This led to the creation of less well known pieces of literature‚ used for Darwins eyes only. Both researches lead him to finishing his theory and writing the Origin of Species. Darwin wrote first the Red notebook‚ officially notebook “A.” This notebook focused on his voyage on the Beagle and‚ mostly‚ the geography of the places he visited. This was the main focus of the book‚ and had very little to do with his upcoming

Promoting Conservation of Fauna and Flora Let’s take a look at our country. Panama is the tiny piece of land that joins North and South America. Our position in the globe gives us a climate and a type of land that holds a rich biodiversity of tropical species of both fauna and flora. Nowadays‚ ‘Panama is turning into a little Miami’‚ some people would say. There are many projects to build up the city; and in the recent years‚ the government has allowed—and will continue to let in—foreign investment to

The kingdom they belong to is Animalia (Gecko). A few species of female geckos reproduce without mating (Gecko). These species also only give birth to female geckos (Gecko). Geckos are usually found in rocky deserts or mountainous areas (Gecko). A gecko’s favorite food are insects (Gecko). Almost all geckos eat insects (O’Shea 59-64). There

From the article‚ it is apparent that Grant considered destructions of different species of both plants and animals as environmental racism. Thus‚ he continuously called for conservation‚ preservation‚ and safeguarding the endangered human race‚ animal‚ and plant species in the American society.

activities are affecting flora and fauna? We are facing a serious crisis in biodiversity‚ the variety of animals‚ plants and their habitats. We humans are part of this biological diversity and depend on it in many ways. The rate that animal and plant species are becoming extinct‚ and the pace at which ecosystems are being destroyed‚ are increasing every day. But we the people‚ particularly of this developed world‚ have become so far removed from nature that we have forgotten how much we rely on it.

I was able to observe and identify a variety of interactions between living and nonliving organisms.One observation was the nonliving organisms help the living organisms meet their needs such as living conditions. When I say living conditions I refer to climate changes and geography in the marine life. Nonliving and living organism interact with each other in many different components. When I was observing the river I saw how organisms have to have living and nonliving elements in order to have
