people out to Port Alberni and for locals to find work. This could help to diversify the economy and allow people to get jobs from activities that work in tandem with conservation. It would give a natural economic incentive for people to keep the forests preserved and natural resources only used

Its market reforms still aren’t complete and its per capita income is still much lower than any advanced country, which has led to China’s high inequality. Along with economic issues, the rapid economic growth has caused multiple other issues. China’s main focus has been solely on its economic aspects for so long that it almost seems as if they have been blind to the environmental degradation, increasing rural crisis, growing unemployment and poverty,

natural habitat. The northern spotted owl populations have dropped down to 40­60% in the last 10 years. Northern spotted owls are nocturnal which means they sleep during the day and hunt at night. They are medium sized raptors that live in the old growth forests in California down to British Columbia. Spotted owls hunt voles (Closely related to the mouse) and squirrels. They nest in the high, towering, live trees and have a lifespan of about 10­15 years. When the northern owl was first identified as

Introduction The Tokai forest is currently under rehabilitation for the re-establishment of fynbos after the commercial pine had been planted there 11 years to 23 years ago. The commercial pine was originally planted in the Tokai for commercial and industrial reasons, such as to make paper or wood for fire. On top of affecting the natural fynbos vegetation the pine was also jeopardizing the surrounding environment by starving the other plant life of the natural water resources. The cutting of the

Forest fires, known to many as being just one of countless destructive forces courtesy of mother nature, are in actuality a necessary component in sustaining a healthy ecosystem. Given a poor reputation due to the damage they are known to cause, such as destruction of old growth forests and man made structures, some do not realize that these fires actually benefit the biosphere when they occur in moderation. It is with forest fires that forests may be replenished and new life can begin. Although

The podcasts revolve around the hidden busy world beneath the forest, which generally feels like a quiet and still place, but little do people realize the networked activities that take place now and then. Suzanne Simard who is a forest ecologist discovered the fascinating world beneath the dark forest. Surprisingly, her work is founded on a discovery made while their family dog got trapped in the forest. This led to the realization of the strange environment built by interconnected ground network

The data from the harvested stand and unharvested stand shows that wood thrush would likely be able to find a suitable breeding, nesting, and foraging habitat in this section of the Vermont National Forest (Table 1), particularly in the unharvested stand, though improved management practices could make the harvested stand more suitable. Wood thrush commonly hide their nests under leaves in a shady area in the midstory level, so it is important to have vertically and horizontally diverse stands (Hagenbauch

More than 2000 developed plants, including 200 sapling class have been inventoried. Tributes, epiphytes, orchids and bromeliads abound in the various forest types. The more than 100 creatures comprise over 60 class of bat, five class of fields - Jaguar, Puma, Ocelot, Margay, and Jaguarundi, as well as Mantled Howler Monkey and many rare species such as Yucatan Spider Monkey and Baird's Tapir.

Tropical Forest: Tropical forest’s major features are equatorial and subequatorial regions. The climate revolves around typically high temperatures. Tropical rain forests tend to receive large amounts of rainfall ranging between 200-400cm. On the other hand, tropical dry forests receive 150-200cm of precipitation and has 6 to 7 months of no precipitation, also known as the dry season. (Urry, Pearson, 2017) Tropical forests are covered by large amounts of plant life that overlap each other, which

turned out into a ritual of the assertion of dominance met by some of the strategies of the adaptation of the writer to accommodate her cultural stance. Silko has come up with a narrative of a parable of cultural endurance by actually tracing the growth as well as the
