rather than the nature and wildlife of planet earth. Some people might argue that the parks or green spaces produce too many greenhouse gases which will pollute the cities. However, our cities already have a lot of pollution so if greenhouse gases are added to the mix it won’t be of any harm. People also argue that parks take up land space that could be developed for retail and the use of natural resources. Parks actually help contribute to the economy because it helps in the real estate market and

environmental change, as well as assess methodological approaches used for research in political ecology. In addition, this assignment will discuss how reserves and national parks have been socially constructed/produced to be protected areas. Following this discussion, the conversation will include an overview of how this construction of national parks and reserves may result in the property rights reconstructing the resource into a rival good.

It was originally deposited sediment that was lithofied, and turned into sedimentary rock. The rock was then carved out by hydraulic processes (Warneke). These processes, all combined, took almost three to six million years to form the Grand Canyon. Continued erosion by wind and rain in the present time continues to shift what the canyon looks like, and make it different as time goes

Economic growth and social development are complementary and have a close but complex relationship. With the economic growth, it is clear there have been lasting damaging effects on the environment today. For example, water, air, and land pollution have worsened, and the environment of wild animals and plants have been severely damaged. Many species today are threatened with extinction, deforestation and over-exploitation of mineral resources. With the recent nomination for head administrator for

Summary In Cross-Cultural Claims on Devils Tower National Monument, Dustin, Schneider, McAvoy, and Frakt (2002) explained a conflict between American Indians and rock climbers over the right use of the mountain in Wyoming. Also, they showed how a difference in culture and world perspective can influence the dispute.
