Group #12 presented on endangered species of Pakistan. They discussed 9 endangered species found in Pakistan: Markhor, Crane, Siberian Ibex, Red Headed Vulture, Himalayan Musk Deer, Hog Deer, Snow Leopard, and White Headed Duck. The presentation addressed each species' description, habitat, threats facing the species, and conservation status. Hunting, habitat loss, and competition from domestic animals were cited as primary threats. Most species are classified as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List and protected under national laws.
Endangered species
The document discusses various endangered species around the world and the threats they face. It provides facts about populations and trends for different critically endangered species, including the Amur leopard with fewer than 40 individuals left, Javan rhinoceros with only 60 remaining, and northern white rhino which is extinct in the wild. Many species face population declines and risk of extinction due to habitat loss, poaching, hunting, and lack of genetic diversity. Conservation efforts are needed to protect endangered species and their habitats in order to prevent their disappearance.
Loss of Biodiversity
Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth, including genetic, species, and ecosystem diversity. Loss of biodiversity is occurring at an alarming rate, with up to 20,000 species estimated to go extinct each year. Habitat destruction and fragmentation due to human activities like agriculture, construction, and urbanization are major drivers of biodiversity loss. Other threats include overexploitation of species, introduction of exotic species, pollution, climate change, and poaching. Widespread biodiversity decline poses serious risks to ecosystem balance, food security, natural disaster mitigation, and could ultimately threaten human survival if left unaddressed. Conservation efforts are needed to protect the estimated 24% of mammals and 12% of birds currently considered globally
Biodiversity of pakistan
Pakistan has high biodiversity due to its varied landscapes including mountains and forests. It is home to over 7% of the world's plant species as well as many endemic animal species. However, biodiversity is under threat from deforestation, overgrazing, soil erosion, salinity, waterlogging, and hunting. The government has established protected areas covering 11.4% of the country and enacted legislation to promote conservation. NGOs also support measures to protect Pakistan's biodiversity and ensure sustainable use of natural resources.

Specific hazards are also discussed for regions like Asia, the Pacific Ring of Fire, China, India and Japan. Models are presented for how natural disasters occur when hazards overwhelm a community's capabilities, and how risk from hazards is determined by vulnerability and capacity to cope. Key terms like hazard, vulnerability and risk are defined.
Wildlife & Sustainable development
This document discusses biodiversity and sustainable wildlife development. It defines biodiversity as the variety of life on Earth, including species diversity, genetic diversity, and ecosystem diversity. Biodiversity is essential for sustainable development as it supports ecosystem functions, provides resources, and has cultural value. Wildlife conservation aims to protect species and habitats for future generations. Conservation methods include in-situ conservation of animals in nature and ex-situ conservation in zoos and botanical gardens. Sustainable use of wildlife maintains populations for future needs. Various organizations work on goals like maintaining ecosystems and genetic resources, and ensuring sustainable species utilization.
Endangered species powerpoint
Endangered species act as fire alarms that tell us about problems with our environment. If we listen to their calls for help, we can improve our lives and planet's health. Endangered species indicate that our world may not be as healthy as we think and show the connections between all living things, including humans. Protecting endangered plants and animals under the Endangered Species Act helps preserve biodiversity for the future.
Extinction of biodiversity
The document discusses extinction and biodiversity loss. It defines extinction as occurring when the last member of a species dies. The passenger pigeon is provided as an example, with the last one dying alone in a zoo in 1914 after the species was already functionally extinct in the wild. Major causes of extinction discussed include habitat degradation and destruction from human activities like pollution, climate change, and overpopulation. Statistics are given on current extinction rates from human impacts being 1500 times the natural rate, with many species projected to be lost in the coming centuries if trends continue. The major impacts of biodiversity loss on human concerns like medicine, agriculture, ecosystem services, and moral obligations are also briefly touched on.
Reptiles of Pakistan
Over 195 species of reptiles are found in Pakistan, including 13 endemic species. Two critically endangered crocodilian species - the mugger crocodile and gharial - live in Pakistan's rivers and wetlands. The mugger occurs primarily in Sindh and Balochistan, while the gharial is now virtually extinct throughout Pakistan. Both species face major threats from habitat loss and overhunting. The government is interested in surveys to assess their status and potential conservation programs, including a captive rearing center, to support restocking efforts.
Endangered species
The document defines an endangered species as one at risk of extinction if reproduction rates decline. Examples given are giant pandas, polar bears, and elephants. Causes of endangerment include habitat destruction, pollution, disease, and illegal hunting. To help, people can reduce pollution, join conservation groups, and stop illegal hunting.
Snow leopard Conservancy
Snow leopards live in the mountainous regions of Central Asia. Their population has declined significantly, with estimates ranging from 3,500 to 7,000 remaining in the wild. They primarily hunt wild sheep and goats but are threatened by poaching for fur and body parts, depletion of prey, and habitat loss. Snow leopards play an important role in regulating populations of their prey in their alpine ecosystem.

Loss of biodiversity
Hello. I am Kripa Thapa Magar, Public Health Professional. This slide was prepared when I was in BPH 4th semester, National Open College as an assignment of environmental health subject by compiling information from different sources.
Extinct animals
This document summarizes three animals that are now extinct - the dodo bird, saber-toothed tiger, and woolly mammoth. It provides key details about each animal's physical characteristics and behaviors. The dodo was a flightless bird that became extinct in the late 1600s. The saber-toothed tiger preyed on large mammals like bison and lived in forests and grasslands. The woolly mammoth was a huge mammal with long hair and tusks that lived in northern climates and ate grasses and plants.
Wildlife sanctuaries in pakistan
The document discusses several wildlife sanctuaries located across Pakistan that aim to conserve local species of birds and animals. It outlines sanctuaries in Sindh, Punjab, North West Province, and Balochistan provinces, providing details on each location's notable wildlife and purpose for being established as a protected area. Some of the major sanctuaries mentioned include Himeji Lake and Nara Desert in Sindh, Chashma and Taunsa Barrage Dolphin Sanctuary in Punjab, and Astor and Baltistan sanctuaries in North West Province.
Extinct and Endangered species
The natural environment encompasses all living and non-living things that occur naturally on Earth. It includes complete ecological systems, universal natural resources, and physical phenomena. Wildlife can be found in nearly all ecosystems but is impacted by human activities. Many animal species are becoming extinct faster than since the dinosaurs died out, with over 500 species in the US endangered or threatened. The Kashmir stag is listed as critically endangered with a population of only around 160 remaining.
DESERTIFICATION
Three main points:
1. Desertification is a type of land degradation where dry regions become more arid, losing vegetation and wildlife. It is caused by factors like drought, overgrazing, overcultivation, and removal of trees.
2. Categories of desertification range from light to very severe based on damage to vegetation and soil. Countermeasures include reforestation, soil fixation, contour trenching, and managed grazing.
3. Large-scale afforestation efforts in China have failed to solve desertification due to unsuitable climate with low rainfall, as the natural vegetation is grassland or desert in semiarid and arid regions with 50-500mm of rain. Previous attempts at aff
Invasive species presentation completed
This document discusses invasive species and their impacts. It defines invasive species as nonnative plants and animals that harm native species. Some examples of invasive animal species in Florida mentioned are wild hogs, starlings, Burmese pythons, and iguanas. Invasive plant species mentioned include air potato, cogon grass, coral ardisia, and camphor tree. Invasive species are introduced both deliberately and accidentally, and then spread by various means. They cause damage by competing with and preying on native species, eliminating biodiversity, and disrupting ecosystems. Solutions proposed for invasive plants include manually removing them and replacing them with native species.
Invasive Species in Pakistan
This document discusses invasive species in Pakistan. It reports that 700 alien species have been found in Pakistan, with six considered extremely invasive. Two invasive plant species discussed are Paper Mulberry, which threatens natural vegetation in Islamabad and threatens public health, and Parthenium hystrophorus, a widespread weed originating from Central America that causes allergic reactions and harms agriculture. An invasive fish, Fauji Khagga, is also preying upon and reducing local fish populations.
Game Reserves in Pakistan
Game reserves are areas of protected land set aside for conservation purposes where animals can live freely without threat of hunting. Many game reserves are located in Africa and are open to tourists for sightseeing safaris. Game reserves provide important habitat for species and allow wildlife to thrive naturally while protecting ecosystems. However, game reserves face challenges like inadequate funding, infrastructure, and staffing that limit their management and conservation efforts.
Endangered animals
Endangered species are those at risk of extinction, meaning there are so few left that a species could disappear altogether. Species become endangered mainly due to habitat loss and fragmentation caused by human population expansion, which requires additional land for settlement, agriculture, and infrastructure. Hunting and poaching have also driven many animal species to dangerously low population levels. Conservation efforts aim to protect biodiversity by preserving existing habitats, restoring degraded areas, and sustaining species populations. Individuals can help endangered species by choosing sustainable products, recycling, volunteering with conservation organizations, and reducing their environmental impact.
Endangered Species
A species of plant or animal that is in immediate danger of becoming extinct and needs protection to survive.
Preservation is to save and maintain the wild animals against injury or destruction as well as keeping them safe and undisturbed from private or public use
Endangered species in world and as well as in Pakistan,reasons and causes of their endangerment ,methods of conservation of endangered species ,step taken at international level for their control most famous is act law formulated on 1973
Conservation of plants and animals
This document discusses conservation of plants and animals. It provides information on why conservation is important, the advantages of animals, products obtained from animals, and causes of animal extinction such as pollution, climate change, deforestation, and more. Key details include that 80% of original forests have been destroyed, extinction rates are 1,000 to 10,000 times higher than normal due to human activities, and the IUCN Red List categorizes species from extinct to lower risk to track conservation status. Threatened categories include critically endangered, endangered, and vulnerable species. The document also gives examples of extinct, nearly extinct, and rare animal species.

Its headquarters are located in Gland, Switzerland in one of Europe's greenest office buildings.
Endangered species 3 animal
Giant pandas are native to China and endangered, with only about 1,600 remaining in the wild according to the IUCN. They live mainly in bamboo forests in western China and must eat 26 to 84 pounds of bamboo per day. Despite having national treasure status, pandas are threatened by habitat loss and low population numbers.
Endemic species.pptx
- The document discusses endemic species, which are plant and animal species found in a particular geographical region and nowhere else. Some examples of endemic species in India are discussed, including the red-crowned roofed turtle, white-cheeked barbet, forest owlet, grey junglefowl, white-browed gibbon, and others. Threats to endemic species include habitat destruction, increasing human population, introduction of new species, and insularity. Their vulnerability is high due to smaller populations and isolation, so protection of endemic species is important for biodiversity conservation.
3 J Marilyn Tan, Deforestation
This document discusses deforestation and its impact on giant pandas. It notes that deforestation has led to habitat loss and fragmentation for giant pandas, reducing their populations to under 1,000 remaining in small, isolated groups. Deforestation of bamboo forests in China has occurred as human settlement expanded, decreasing panda habitat by half between 1974 and 1989. Continued deforestation and lack of habitat connectivity now puts giant pandas at risk of local extinctions within reserves. Conservation efforts include plans to expand reserves and create habitat corridors.

It discusses how 440 species in India are threatened according to the IUCN, including the Royal Bengal Tiger, Red Panda, tortoise, rhinoceros, and blue whale. The main causes of endangerment are habitat destruction, agriculture expansion, pollution, poaching, and climate change. The presentation encourages conservation efforts and notes that protecting animals also protects ecosystems and the future.
Endangered species presentation-1(1) (1)
The document discusses endangered and threatened species. It defines endangered as a species in danger of extinction, threatened as likely to become endangered without protection, and extinct as no longer existing. Examples are given of extinct species like the passenger pigeon and endangered species facing threats like habitat loss, poaching, pollution, and more. The ecosystem is described as all living things being connected, and endangered species serve as alarms about environmental problems affecting all life.

The document discusses several endangered animal species and the threats they face. It notes that penguin populations have decreased by up to 3,000 in the last 50 years due to melting sea ice. Polar bear numbers are also declining as a result of loss of Arctic sea ice. Gorillas live in African rainforests, while pandas feed almost exclusively on bamboo and are threatened by habitat loss. The document calls on everyone to do their part to protect animals and preserve their natural habitats.
Animals in Danger
Many animal species are endangered or face extinction due to natural causes like disease, competition, and natural disasters, as well as man-made threats including poaching, habitat loss, and commercial exploitation. Specific animals mentioned that are endangered include the Iberian lynx due to habitat loss and poaching, polar bears whose sea ice habitat is diminishing, tigers whose bones and body parts are used in traditional medicine and habitat is destroyed, gorillas whose forest habitat is invaded and destroyed from human activities, and pumas which depend on intact habitats for survival.
RED PANDA
This document discusses the red panda, an endangered species native to the Eastern Himalayan region. It provides background on the red panda, noting that it is an indicator species whose presence shows the quality of its forest habitat. The main threats to the red panda population are deforestation, poaching for the fur and medicinal trades, and accidental trapping. The population is decreasing rapidly, with the most recent estimate being under 10,000 remaining. Conservation efforts aim to protect habitats, enforce anti-poaching laws, breed red pandas in captivity, and implement habitat management programs to prevent the red panda's extinction.
Critically endangered animal species of india
This document discusses several critically endangered animal species found in India. It provides information on the IUCN Red List criteria for critically endangered species and then profiles 16 different critically endangered species found in India, including the Pygmy Hog, Andaman White-toothed Shrew, Kondana Rat, Elvira Rat, Namdapha Flying Squirrel, Malabar Civet, Jerdon's Courser, Forest Owlet, White-bellied Heron, four species of vultures, Bengal Florican, Himalayan Quail, Pink-headed Duck, Sociable Lapwing, and Spoon-billed Sandpiper. For each species, it provides details on habitat, distribution, and threats.

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.
