Ecology
Green spaces provide health, environmental, and social benefits. They include parks, gardens, and other vegetated areas. In Bangladesh, green space is limited, with Dhaka having only 0.052 square meters per capita compared to the WHO recommendation of 9 square meters. Preserving green spaces in Dhaka is important for biodiversity conservation and the well-being of the population as they help reduce health costs, stress, and the urban heat island effect. However, the existing green spaces in Dhaka are very small and concentrated in older areas, with surface area declining. Bangladesh must significantly increase vegetated areas and integrate green space into urban policy to meet standards for a livable 21st century city.
Deforestation
- India's total forest cover is approximately 21.67% of its total geographical area, though deforestation has decreased the forest cover significantly over time.
- The main drivers of deforestation in India are agriculture, logging, mining, and urbanization. Agriculture alone accounts for about 60% of deforestation.
- Deforestation has severe environmental consequences such as increased carbon emissions, soil erosion, loss of biodiversity, droughts, and loss of valuable plant species. Reforestation efforts aim to restore forests and mitigate these impacts.

Causes, Effect And Consequences Of Deforestation
Deforestation is the conversion of forested areas to non-forest land for use such as arable land, pasture, urban use, logged area, or wasteland. Generally, the removal or destruction of significant areas of forest cover has resulted in a degraded environment with reduced biodiversity.
Effect of deforestation on tribal people
Deforestation negatively impacts tribal peoples in several ways. It destroys their homeland and traditional ways of life by affecting food and water sources. Tribal peoples rely on hunting and do not have modern technologies, so the loss of forests takes away their homes and means of survival without easy adaptation to urban lives. Deforestation also causes tribal peoples to lose their unique cultures, beliefs, knowledge, and abilities to live in harmony with the forest that their ancestors sustained for generations. While tribal peoples are historically effective stewards of the environment, deforestation threatens their rights and roles as natural guardians.
Forest resources
Forests provide many commercial and ecological benefits but are being degraded and destroyed through overexploitation, deforestation, and development activities. Natural resources like timber, fuelwood, and land are extracted through logging, mining, and agriculture at unsustainable rates, damaging forest ecosystems, wildlife habitats, and tribal communities that depend on forests. Unless proper management and conservation efforts are implemented, one-third of the world's forests could be lost in the coming decades with significant negative environmental and economic consequences.
Green and Energy Efficient Buildings
Buildings, as definers of character and fabric of any city, are known for their positivity, negativities, dualities and contradictions. Consuming half of the global energy, majority of resources and generating 45% carbon emissions, buildings are largely responsible for consumption of resources, generation of waste, climate change and global warming. Sustainable Development Goals enunciated by UNO also mandate the critical role of buildings in promoting global sustainability. However, majority of buildings are designed without any concern for energy, resources and environment. For making buildings least consumers of energy, resources and generators of waste, traditional approach to buildings have to be changed and redefined. Appropriate options of designing sustainable, environment friendly and energy efficient buildings would involve the study, analysis and application of the relevance of climate both at regional, city and local levels; site and orientation ; options for energy and water efficiency; context of building materials and indoor air quality, active and passive means of heating cooling and using resources provided with nature for making buildings green and energy efficient.
Common property RIGHT by abhinav
Common property resources include resources meant for common use by a community like grazing lands, forests, wastelands, water bodies, and threshing floors. They are accessible to and collectively owned/managed by an identifiable community with no individual exclusive rights. Examples of common property resources include village forests, grazing lands, threshing floors, government forests of different classifications (reserved, protected, unclassified), and common water resources for domestic and agricultural use. If left unregulated, common property fishery resources can face overexploitation as no individual fisherman has incentive to restrain catch, leading to economic inefficiency.
6. management of natural resources
The document provides information about various types of waste and their sources. The major sources of waste mentioned are medical waste, municipal waste, industrial waste, and waste from leather industries and chemical fertilizer industries. Minor sources include washing clothes, taking baths, religious matters, dead bodies, and oil from ships.
Biosphere ppt
The biosphere is the global ecosystem inhabited by living organisms and composed of four interacting components: biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. Biosphere reserves are designated by UNESCO to balance conservation and sustainable development. They contain core, buffer, and transition zones and aim to conserve biodiversity while supporting human communities. India has 18 biosphere reserves recognized for representing different ecosystems and landscapes that support millions of plant and animal species.

Why study the environment lecture 1
This chapter discusses the nature of environmental science and interrelationships. It covers key topics including:
- Environmental science is interdisciplinary and includes both scientific and social aspects of human impacts.
- Everything that affects an organism during its lifetime is considered part of its environment.
- There are interrelationships among seemingly unrelated factors, and tugging on one part can impact the whole universe.
- The reintroduction of wolves in Yellowstone led to changes in water flow, vegetation, and other species populations, showing these interconnections.
Deforestation & conservation efforts
About 11,000 years ago, before humans learned agriculture, forests covered much of the Earth's land. Today, after widespread deforestation, forests cover only about one-fifth of the planet's surface. Deforestation occurs for many reasons like using trees for fuel, timber, or cleared land for livestock or agriculture. The large-scale removal of trees without replanting has damaged habitats and biodiversity while increasing carbon dioxide emissions and soil erosion. Currently 12 million hectares of forest are cleared annually.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
unbalanced transportation problem
The document discusses transportation problems and their optimization using linear programming. It begins by explaining that transportation problems aim to optimally transport goods from supply origins to demand destinations at minimum cost while satisfying supply and demand constraints. The document then discusses how balanced transportation problems have equal total supply and demand, while unbalanced problems introduce dummy variables to balance totals. It provides examples of unbalanced problems where supply exceeds demand and vice versa, and how dummy columns/rows are added to balance the problems and find optimal solutions.
Traffic presentation
This document discusses the impacts and costs of traffic in the United States. It provides statistics showing that Americans spend 19 cents of every dollar earned on transportation, with traffic congestion costing over $900 per driver annually. Traffic results in billions of hours of delays and lost productivity each year. Dependence on private vehicles contributes significantly to air pollution and environmental damage. Public transportation provides benefits by reducing fuel usage and emissions.
Drainage presentation
The document presents an overview of drainage issues and potential solutions for the Sandersville plant. It describes six existing storm drainage basins and their processes water flows. The key problem areas are catch basins and sewer pipes that cause bottlenecks. Four potential solutions are outlined: installing a parallel gravity sewer, sending all water to a larger clarifier pond, installing an overflow at an upper catch basin to route excess water to an existing lower pond, or pumping the "blue" area water across the plant to the main sewer line. Pros and cons of each option are discussed, along with estimated costs.
Noise Pollution
Noise pollution is a serious issue that affects human health in many ways. It is caused mainly by transportation, construction, and industrial activities. Noise above certain levels can cause stress, high blood pressure, hearing loss, and sleep disturbances. Some solutions to control noise pollution are planting trees as buffers, installing soundproofing in homes, banning loud speakers in public, locating factories and industries away from residential areas, and using noise canceling machines. Proper maintenance of machines can also help reduce noise pollution.
Urban transport problems
The document discusses various urban transport problems faced by large cities. It identifies traffic congestion, longer commuting times, inadequate public transportation, difficulties for non-motorized transport, loss of public space, high maintenance costs, environmental impacts, accidents, land consumption, freight distribution, and automobile dependency as the most notable challenges. Specifically, it notes that traffic congestion is linked to increased motorization and vehicle use. Long commuting times are associated with housing becoming less affordable near city centers. Public transit is sometimes overcrowded during peak hours when demand surges temporarily.
Transportation Problem in Operational Research
The document discusses the transportation problem and methods for finding its optimal solution. It begins by defining key terminology used in transportation models like feasible solution, basic feasible solution, and optimal solution. It then outlines the basic steps to obtain an initial basic feasible solution and subsequently improve it to reach the optimal solution. Three common methods for obtaining the initial solution are described: the Northwest Corner Method, Least Cost Entry Method, and Vogel's Approximation Method. The document also addresses how to solve unbalanced transportation problems and provides examples applying the methods.
Traffic congestion
Traffic congestion occurs when traffic demand exceeds road capacity, resulting in slower speeds and longer trip times. It is a major source of frustration for motorists and reduces travel speeds. The main causes of congestion are high traffic volumes, inadequate infrastructure, and irrational urban planning. Congestion leads to economic losses from wasted time and increased fuel costs, as well as environmental issues from higher emissions. Potential solutions involve improving road infrastructure, implementing smart urban planning, managing supply and demand through techniques like road pricing, and using traffic management strategies.
Traffic Congestion PowerPoint Presentation
Traffic congestion costs cities and countries billions each year in lost economic output and productivity. The cost to US cities ranges from $35-48 billion annually, while the UK loses 5% of its GDP to congestion. Individual cities also face massive costs - Moscow loses $1.3 billion, South Africa loses $18 billion, and Dhaka loses $3 billion each year. Beyond economic impacts, congestion also leads to increased air pollution, health issues, accidents, and over 700,000 years of lost time for the over 1 billion daily road passengers worldwide when each loses just 1 minute per day sitting in traffic. Nations must invest heavily to expand transportation infrastructure like highways, public transit, and rail to alleviate congestion which
Transportation Problem
The document describes a transportation problem and its solution. A transportation problem aims to minimize the cost of distributing goods from multiple sources to multiple destinations, given supply and demand constraints. It describes the basic components and phases of solving a transportation problem, including obtaining an initial feasible solution and then optimizing the solution using methods like the stepping stone method. The stepping stone method traces paths between cells on the transportation table to find negative cost cycles, and adjusts values to further optimize the solution.
Drainage system
The document summarizes the key components of a drainage system, including:
1. The drainage system conveys sewage, rainwater, and other liquid waste from fixtures through pipes to an external point of disposal, and includes house sewers, house drains, soil and waste stacks, fixture branches, and traps.
2. Essential components are the house sewer, house drain, house trap, fresh air inlet, soil and waste stacks, fixture branches, traps, and vents. Special devices include interceptors, sumps, ejectors, backwater valves, roof drains, and floor drains.
3. Pipes are sized based on the number and type of fixtures drained, with
Noise Pollution
Noise Pollution is defined as any undesirable human or machine created noise which disturbs human or animal activity or balance. It is measured in decibels (dB) which is a logarithmic ratio of sound pressures. Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause permanent hearing loss, annoyance, stress, and disrupted sleep and human performance. Noise pollution affects animals through hearing loss, physiological stress, and disruption of behavior and ecosystems. Plants are also impacted through reduced growth. Control measures include reducing noise at the source through improved machinery and mufflers, zoning of industrial areas away from homes, sound insulation of buildings, use of ear protection, legislative bans on loud noises, and planting trees.
Noise pollution presentation
Noise pollution occurs when unwanted or excessive sound disrupts normal human or animal activities. The main sources of noise pollution are transportation systems, construction work, and industrial activity. Prolonged exposure to noise pollution can cause hearing loss, cardiovascular effects, sleep disturbances, and stress in humans. It can also damage animal communication and increase the risk of death by interfering with predator/prey detection. Some strategies to reduce noise pollution include planting trees, regular maintenance of vehicles and machines, soundproofing buildings, and imposing regulations on loud speakers.

This document discusses the implications of environmental education for ensuring effective forest services and protection in Nigeria. It begins by defining key concepts like environment, forests, and deforestation. It describes the benefits forests provide, but also how unsustainable human activities like logging, agriculture, urbanization, industrialization, and population growth are leading to high rates of deforestation in Nigeria. Deforestation depletes biodiversity and causes problems like soil erosion, flooding, desertification, and global warming. The document argues that environmental education can help develop people's awareness, knowledge, skills, and commitment to responsibly manage forests and address deforestation through activities in formal schooling, non-formal programs, and informal learning approaches. Overall, environmental
Environmental conservation
Every natural ecosystem works in balance. An ecosystem is a community made up of all the living things in an area. Which in a way affect each other and the environment. If you damage any part of the ecosystem, it has a knock-on effect on all other parts of the system. Damage to habitats, caused by deforestation, can have a disastrous effect. Not only on the species living in that habitat but also on the planet. Trees help prevent climate change by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Burning forests releases carbon. Removing trees increases the amount of CO2 left in the atmosphere, leading to global warming.Is Environmental Conservation the need of the hour on earth? https://shouts.site/is-environmental-conservation-the-need-of-the-hour-on-earth/

Essay On Deforestation
Deforestation is a significant environmental problem that is damaging forests worldwide. Over four-fifths of the world's original forests have already been destroyed. Deforestation occurs for reasons like agriculture, logging, and urban development, but it has serious negative consequences for the environment and climate. By cutting down and burning forests, carbon dioxide emissions increase and contribute to global warming. Deforestation also destroys animal habitats, threatens biodiversity, and harms soil quality. While deforestation occurs in many parts of the world, countries like Brazil, Indonesia, and parts of Africa and Southeast Asia have seen substantial forest loss. Urgent action is needed to reduce deforestation and mitigate its harmful effects.
Conscientisation - deforestation 1 .pptx
Deforestation is the permanent removal of trees from forested areas, which occurs through logging, agriculture, infrastructure development, and other activities. It is a major threat because forests play a vital role in regulating the atmosphere, biodiversity, and climate. The rapid rate of deforestation is contributing to declines in oxygen production, increases in greenhouse gas emissions, and disruptions to ecosystems. Individual and collective actions are needed to raise awareness, support reforestation efforts and sustainable policies, and help curb this pressing environmental issue.
