Easter Island
Easter Island is located 2400 miles off the coast of Chile and has a population of about 20,000 people. It has a tropical climate with average temperatures of 73 degrees Fahrenheit. The economy relies heavily on tourism, as the island is most famous for its moai statues carved by the Rapa Nui people between 1100-1680 AD. There are 887 moai scattered across the island, some as tall as 33 feet. In addition to visiting the moai, other attractions include scuba diving, hiking, horseback riding and swimming at beaches like Anakena.
Thanksgiving
The document describes the origins of the first Thanksgiving in America. In 1620, the Mayflower carried over 100 English pilgrims to Plymouth Rock in present-day Massachusetts. The Native Americans helped the pilgrims learn to farm, hunt, and fish. In 1621, the pilgrims held a feast to celebrate the harvest, inviting the Native Americans who brought deer and turkey to the celebration. Thanksgiving later became an official national holiday in 1863 when President Lincoln issued a proclamation.
Easter island
The people of Easter Island live in small wooden houses built with timber imported from Chile and New Zealand. They get their water from pipes and have showers in their homes or at the beach. Their diet consists of foods like yam, lobster, chicken, sweet potatoes, fish, and poi made from taro. The indigenous people are Polynesian and the population declined dramatically from an original 15,000 to just 2,000 by 1722, though it has since rebounded to around 5,800 currently. In 2007, 50,000 tourists visited the island each year to see the large moai statues carved from stone that still remain a mystery as to how they were constructed.

The New York colony consisted of villages with churches, houses, rivers, and gardens located in the northern region of what is now a very rich state.

Jamestown
Jamestown was the first permanent English settlement in North America, established in 1607 in Virginia. The colonists struggled greatly in their early years - within months, disease and infections killed half the colony. During the "starving time" winter of 1609-1610, colonists ran out of food and water, and by the fall only 400 remained of the original 700 settlers, with many dying of starvation. Archaeological excavations have provided valuable insights into the early challenges faced by the Jamestown colonists.

Presentation easter island
Easter Island is a remote volcanic island in the Pacific Ocean, known for its massive stone statues. It has a small, hilly landscape with volcanic craters and lava formations. In the past, the island had forests and freshwater springs but as the population grew rapidly, the resources were depleted, causing famine and social collapse.
Story of Easter Island
The document summarizes the history of Easter Island and the downfall of its civilization. It describes how the island was originally lush with forests and resources when people first arrived.

Eventually, all the trees were cut down, causing the soil to erode and crops to fail. The civilization then collapsed as resources became scarce and the people were unable to leave the island without boats. The story serves as a warning about how civilizations can destroy their environment and cause their own downfall by ignoring ecological impacts.

Life as a slave was extremely difficult, with long work days and brutal punishments.

This presentation was provided by Steph Pollock of The American Psychological Association’s Journals Program, and Damita Snow, of The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), for the initial session of NISO's 2024 Training Series "DEIA in the Scholarly Landscape." Session One: 'Setting Expectations: a DEIA Primer,' was held June 6, 2024.LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
