Biodiversity

Canberra- a city of biodiversity and sustainable living? Define biodiversity and sustainability and show how it is linked with Global Systems. What is the impact of unsustainable practices in the development of new cities like Canberra on Global Systems? (Draw on any experiences from your own background) What issues or problems are evident in current Canberra planning? Explain how science helps Canberra planners to maintain biodiversity and provide sustainable living. Choose ONE factor (relate

programmes in the preservation of biodiversity for future generations. Nowadays one of the most important issues is preservation of biodiversity. Although most of the damages to our environment were made in the past, since there were less education and consciousness between people, there are still many factors threatening the world heritage. So, 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

As concerns on the status of global biodiversity heighten, the international zoo movement has gradually adopted conservation as its mantra. World-class zoos have invested substantially in species conservation and animal research as part of their involvement in wildlife conservation. However, zoo exhibit interpretation, policy development, and strategic planning are yet to be organized around a well-developed agenda with a clear set of conservation objectives (Conway, 1995). The zoo community seeks

The current climate change is projected to have a significant influence over biodiversity. The changes create risk to almost all the species on land to extinct by 2050. Due to earth’s rapid warming that is now faster than at any time in the past 10,000 years, the species survival is likely to be at the fullest risk. The rapid heating temperature on earth almost always caused danger to plants, animals, places and even people’s livelihoods. It also damages the ecosystem, including coral reefs, whole

devastating floods associated with Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005, and Hurricane Harvey in 2017 (Christensen). Biodiversity helps ecosystems respond quickly to disturbances and environmental changes, with the loss of wetlands comes the loss of regulatory and support services, which results in more property damage and deaths from already devastating natural disasters. Biodiversity is harvested in popular activities such as fishing, hunting, lumbering, and trapping for meat and furs. Rare plants

Biodiversity loss is another form of natural ecosystems. If we continue to lose species we will also lose their unique genes. The enormous diversity of all organisms on earth also helps humans. Plants, animals and other living things are resources for potential medicines and industrial chemicals. Bioprospecting may someday hold the key to the world’s food shortage. Scientist are worried about the impact that the earth is sustaining, there are lots of species that are close to extinction. The rate

fish less), loss of biodiversity as whole species of living things disappear due to deforestation, pollution will eventually become unmanageable and affect our health, rising temperatures may be too much for all living things on the planet. Yes there are abundant evidence that 25% of our coral reefs have disappeared and it is expected that 60% more will be gone in 30 years. This is due to ocean acidification, water pollution and deforestation has led loss of forest. Biodiversity is the to a great degree

with a maximum of 72% during 2011-12 which was followed by finfish diversity with 58% occurrence in the year 2013-14. There is an increase in the shellfish biodiversity up to 2011-12 from then a sudden decrease of shellfish was observed (32%) and a further decrease of shellfish occurrence was found in 2013-14. The major shellfish biodiversity of cage site during the present study was recorded as fouling on cage frames, nets and barrels. The overall percentage of finfish species was high during 2013-14

In our class discussion, we discussed different topics that has to deal with continuity. Continuity has to deal with how things happen over time: if there aren’t any bumps or breaks and everything goes on continuously, then that’s continuity. One of the topics that stood out to me the most was family and friends. Your relationship with your family and later on your friends is what stays with you for years and your entire life. Your family may have struggles in life but they always care about you

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
