Land, soil, water, natural vegetation, and wildlife are important natural resources. Land covers 29% of the Earth's surface and is unevenly distributed worldwide due to differences in characteristics and climate. Soil is formed through weathering and influenced by parent rock and climate factors. It is degraded through processes like erosion, but conservation methods like contour farming and shelter belts can help protect it. Water is essential for life but most is saline or locked in ice sheets; only 1% is accessible as freshwater in rivers, lakes, and groundwater. Natural vegetation and wildlife exist within ecosystems and depend on each other for survival.
Natural vegetation grows in different areas depending on geographical factors like temperature, soil and rainfall. India has a high level of biodiversity with over 47,000 plant and 89,000 animal species. The main types of natural vegetation found in India include tropical rainforests, tropical deciduous forests, tropical thorn forests and scrubs, montane forests, and mangrove forests. While natural habitats face threats from hunting, pollution, and deforestation, the government has established various protected areas and conservation programs to preserve India's rich biodiversity.
Natural resources are classified as renewable or non-renewable. Renewable resources like forests can replenish themselves and provide important economic and ecological benefits. However, overexploitation and deforestation are reducing forest cover and negatively impacting the environment, economy, and livelihoods. Preventive measures are needed like replanting cut trees, discouraging fuelwood use, and controlling pests, fires, and overgrazing to promote sustainable forest management and conservation.

The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Thinking of getting a dog? Be aware that breeds like Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, and German Shepherds can be loyal and dangerous. Proper training and socialization are crucial to preventing aggressive behaviors. Ensure safety by understanding their needs and always supervising interactions. Stay safe, and enjoy your furry friends!

4. Deforestation means clearing of forests and using that land for
other purposes. Trees in the forest are cut for some of the
purposes mentioned below:
Procuring land for cultivation
Building houses and factories
Making furniture or using wood as fuel

6. Deforestation increases the
temperature and pollution level
on the earth. It increases the level
of carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere.
Ground water level also gets
lowered.
Deforestation disturbs the
balance in nature. If cutting of
trees continues, rainfall and the
fertility of the soil will decrease.

7. Fewer trees would mean that less carbon dioxide
will be used up resulting in its increased amount in
the atmosphere. This will lead to global warming as
carbon dioxide traps the heat rays reflected by the
earth.

8. The increase in temperature on the earth disturbs the
water cycle and may reduce rainfall. This could cause
droughts.

9. Fewer trees result in more soil erosion. Removal
of the top layer of the soil exposes the lower, hard
and rocky layers. This soil has less humus and is less
fertile. Gradually the fertile land gets converted into
deserts. It is called desertification.

10. Deforestation also leads to a decrease in the water
holding capacity of the soil. The movement of water from
the soil surface into the ground is reduced. So, there are
floods.

11. To protect our flora and fauna and
their habitats, protected areas called
sanctuaries, national parks and
biosphere reserves have been
earmarked.
Plantation, cultivation, grazing, felling
trees , hunting and poaching are
prohibited there.

13. Endemic species are those
species of plants and
animals which are found
exclusively in a particular
area. They are not naturally
found anywhere else. A
particular type of animal or
plant may be endemic to a
zone, a state or a country.

The snow leopard is found only in coniferous forest
scrub and mountain steppe regions of the Himalayas
and surrounding areas. It is considered an

endangered species. 16
17. Giant Rafflesia Flower
The Giant Rafflesia is the largest flower in the
world, weighing up to 7 kg and measuring up
to 91 cm wide. It is found in rain forests of

19. Biosphere reserves are the areas meant for conservation of
biodiversity. The biosphere reserves help to maintain the
biodiversity and culture of that area.

20. Wildlife sanctuaries provides protection and suitable living
conditions to wild animals. In the sanctuaries killing
(poaching) and hunting of animals are strictly prohibited.

23. Many birds fly to far away areas every year during a particular
time because of climatic changes. They fly for laying eggs as
the weather in their natural habitat becomes very cold and
inhospitable. Birds who cover long distances to reach another
land are known as migratory birds.
