They gave credits for Firestick Farming because after much research, they realised that if land is burnt off in a controlled way in the cooler months, this released far less greenhouse emissions than land burnt in a Spring/Summer wild fire. CSIRO environmental economist Scott Heckbert said that, “Firestick Farming would cut carbon emissions by 2.6 million tonnes p.a.” If the Indigenous Land Corp could burn off patches of land in a safe, controlled way using Firestick Farming, at appropriate times of the year, producing less greenhouse emissions, the federal government would give the carbon credits. The carbon credits could then be traded to companies that need them, for cash. Firestick Farming could generate $52 million per year and 1029 seasonal jobs for Aboriginal communities. Firestick Farming is, therefore, good for the environment and for the

But the Buckley’s Hole Management Plan is not quite successful plan to save the affected areas. The plan was implemented in 1998 (Department of Environment Staff, 1998) and is useful to some extent but has not proved its effectiveness in all the areas. The current hole was formed in 1980 in the tidal inlet known as “Yabby Patch Creek” and became a breeding ground for the mosquitoes and a resting spot for the migratory birds (The Real Buckley’s Hole, 1980). The main reason for the execution of this plan was due to its great framework that could preserve the Australian heritage of flora and fauna but it could be seen on the day that it was not that applicable to fully protect the native species.

Outline the geographical processes relevant to the management of the Cronulla, Wanda and Kurnell area.

Similarly, the Melbourne wrap has been active (Gill, 1961) leading to different faults that have decided deposition and landscape formation in the south Gippsland region of eastern Victoria (Jenkin, 1976b).

The Dust Bowl (1931-1939) is the name given to parts of Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado that suffered from extensive farming and natural drought. When homesteaders started farming and raising cattle on this land, these practices left the soil exposed to the danger of erosion by the strong winds that blow across the flat plain (Dust Bowl, n.d.). These winds, combined with a severe drought caused three to four inches of topsoil to blow away. This caused the federal and state governments to develop programs for soil conservation and rehabilitation (Dust Bowl, n.d.). In the past there was not a plan to prepare and recover from a drought. Now the National Incident Management System, or NIMS, provide guidelines to handle all

Assist West Mahanoy Twp. with a report of an armed subject at Hollander Home Fashion. Individuals on scene reported a hispanic male walking in the parking lot with a hand gun in his hand. One male said after seeing the male with a gun he asked him what he was doing with a gun, but then continued walking toward his vehicle and never looked back to see where he went. Another male said he saw the guy walking from the building toward the parking lot and the hispanic male then whistled and got into a black shinny Hummer and left the area. There was no clothing description of description of the driver of license plate.

Numinbah Valley is an area and suburb approximately forty-eight kilometres south west of the Gold Coast, in south eastern Queensland, Australia. Numinbah Valley covers approximately 116 square kilometres. The area is in the south-east part of Queensland and is part of the Gold Coast Hinterland. Numinbah Valley is the upper catchment for the Nerang River. As the name suggests, Numinbah Valley is a valley, with several elevated areas in it (Figure 14 and 13). The valley is well preserved, with only 10 percent of the area having been cleared of vegetation. Only one major road runs through the valley, it being the Nerang-Murwillumbah road (there are a few other roads which run off from this one, but they are for private use).

In the 1930s, Saskatchewan faced numerous amounts of droughts and decided it was necessary to improve water security for agriculture, municipalities and industry. Lake Diefenbaker provided water to the province through canals and pipelines. Since the 1930s, southern Saskatchewan and the Moose Jaw-Regina Industrial Corridor have grown substantially. The demand for water is already coming close to meeting the capacity of the existing water supply infrastructure through the Upper Qu’Appelle. This limited water supply can be detrimental to both the economy and social growth. Studies have proved that the water use in the Qu’Appelle River Basin is going to increase in the near future. -

Taliesin West was constructed in 1937 in a desert location in Arizona. It was the home for Wright until his death in 1959. Its design was a direct response to its dry landscape. Wright felt strongly about the atmosphere of the desert. He said: “Arizona needs its own architecture…

The Amargosa project is located in Nye County, Nevada—approximately 100 km northwest of Las Vegas (population ~600,000 people), 35 km northwest of Pahrump (population ~36,000 people), and at coordinates 570100 mE/ 4036200 mN (WGS84, Zone 11S). The project currently comprises 142 unpatented mining claims covering 1150 ha (2,840 acres

Wiest starts by chronicling the need for the 9th Division to be revived for service in the Mekong Delta of South Vietnam. Ninety percent of the Vietnamese transportation in the Mekong Delta was done by boat, and Wiest noted the importance of the area to both sides: "As the most valuable piece of real estate in South Vietnam, domination over the Mekong Delta was key to the success of both sides in the Vietnam War" (Wiest 24). Not only were the waterways in the Delta important to the Viet Cong for transportation of supplies, they were also a crucial communication network. If the United States and South Vietnamese forces gained control of the Mekong Delta, then that "offered the best and quickest method by which to throttle the Viet Cong and transform

Located in the centre of the Eurasian Continent, with a remarkable area of 505m below sea level, Turpan Basin is definitely a “must visit” destination for most of the visitors to Xinjiang. Lying in the driest region of China, with most of the region receiving less than 200mm of rainfall every year, the region is frequently quoted as “sea of death” in many literatures. Hundreds of years before, Turpan had been an important stop for travelers on the Silk Road since the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD). Its historical sites, cultural sites and customs along with its landscape in turn makes Turpan a more mysteriously attractive to the adventurers around the world, drawing flocks of people trying to explore the secret of the region and seeing the great wonders of nature at the same time.
