10 Beautiful Places In Australia
Either we are touring for the first or third interval, the original picture of Australia is assured to whisk you entirely. Beautiful pink pools, perpendicular rocks, and shores jammed with kangaroos, the nation’s panoramas are unique.
Deforestation
The document discusses deforestation, which is the destruction of forests and trees occurring too quickly to recover. The main causes of deforestation are agriculture, logging, mining, dams, and roads. Deforestation disrupts important natural cycles and causes loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, and poor water quality. While reforestation, legislation, commercial forest plantations, reducing population growth, and sustainable urban planning can help address deforestation, the problem is still ongoing in areas like the Amazon, Africa, and Southeast Asia.
Rain water harvesting vaibhav
Vaibhav Sharma gave a presentation on rainwater harvesting. Rainwater harvesting consists of simple systems to collect, convey, and store rainwater from roof-tops and other surfaces for direct use or to recharge groundwater. Rainwater harvesting conserves existing water resources and replenishes groundwater at a low cost while showing environmental commitment. However, it may not be applicable everywhere and collected water quality could be affected by other factors. The presentation discussed the water cycle, average rainfall patterns in India, and different storage methods and concluded that mandatory rainwater harvesting in New Delhi will help recharge groundwater levels.

Mangrove Ecotourism article.pdf
This document summarizes a study on ecotourism development efforts in Ayah Mangrove Forest in Central Java, Indonesia. The study examined community-based conservation and assessed local perceptions of ecotourism. Fieldwork in November 2022 found that the community protects the forest through zoning, rehabilitation including nurseries and planting, and cleanups. Ecotourism generates income through ticket sales, tours, food, and souvenirs. Most locals support ecotourism and want to participate, but government support is still needed for promotion and rehabilitation.
ecotourism mangrove.pdf
As defined by the International Ecotourism Society, ecotourism refers to “responsible travel that conserves the environment and improves the well-being of local people”. Also called “nature tourism”, the objective of ecotourism is to minimize the impact brought about by tourism on the environment.What is eco tourism in simple words?
The World Tourism Organisation defines ecotourism as: all nature-based forms of tourism in which the main motivation of the tourists is the observation and appreciation of nature as well as the traditional cultures prevailing in natural areas. Ecotourism is responsible travel that assists in conserving the environment and improving the well-being of locals through economic support. With the amount of tourists expanding every year, it's more important than ever to promote sustainability.Positive impact of ecotourism on the environment
Ecotourism can reduce the need to hunt animals for income. With ecotourism, income is earned from preserving the rainforest - deforestation is discouraged, as it is detrimental to income from tourists. Money from tourists goes back into the conservation of the area.Tourist facilities are made to blend-in with the natural environment, food is sourced locally and waste is usually managed on-site. The numbers of tourists allowed are low to ensure minimal disturbance to the environment, but this increases the cost of trips for visitors.
The main concept of ecotourism is sustainability to enable future generations to experience places which have been relatively untouched by humans.
Ecotourism is quickly becoming an important industry for many developing countries to bring in foreign income while at the same time, preserving some of their most fragile environments.
This can be achieved by some countries preserving their rainforests, as ecotourists pay to see a country's natural beauty, not the destruction caused by the exploitation of natural resources.
Ecotourism activities should:
Cause minimal impact on the environment and local people.
Build environmental and cultural awareness and respect.
Provide positive experiences for both visitors and hosts.
Provide direct financial benefits for conservation and sustainability.
Provide economic benefits and empower local people, as ecotourism should be managed by locals.
Increase visitors' understanding of the country's political, environmental and social circumstances.
Encourage stewardship and conservation of the natural environment.
Respect local traditions, eg dressing appropriately so as not to cause offence, especially in religious buildings.
Causes of/reasons for ecotourism
Developing countries now want to conserve their fragile environments and view ecotourism as a significant method of generating income.
Developed countries want to help developing countries conserve their fragile environments by promoting sustainable tourism.
Tourists want to experience a visit to unspoilt environments.
Many travellers are bored with run-of-the-mill too

An Evaluation of Rainforest ecolodge, Deniyaya, Sri Lanka
According to the international eco-tourism society (TIES), eco-tourism is ‘Responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the well-being of local people’. Nature based element, Education or learning component and Requirement of sustainability are the criteria of eco-tourism.
In Sri Lanka, tourism is majorly based on beaches, archaeological sites and on large mammals like Panthera pardus kotiya and Elephas maximus maximus. Diverting tourism of Sri Lanka towards wilderness in the inside the country is an essential requirement in present. The concept of Eco-tourism based activities in the Sinharaja forest reserve was initiated by the USAID and the tourism cluster (TTC) in the early 2000. Rainforest Eco Lodge is the final outcome of this concept.
The eco lodge established in the middle of Enasalwatte tea estate which is located in the south eastern border of UNESCO world heritage Sinharaja Forest Reserve. The construction of the eco lodge was started in 2009 after a series of protests opposing the project. However the constructions were finished in late 2011 and the eco lodge started its operations in 2012.
The rainforest eco lodge is an accommodation and eco-tour provider. It mainly targets on the tourists from Europe. When comparing the eco lodge against the six principles of eco-tourism the drawbacks and the strengths of the project can be found out.
Minimization of the impact on the environment when constructing the eco lodge is in a high standard. Used shipping containers, used railway sleepers and bamboo walling were used as the materials. Renewable energy sources such as solar power is using in the site. Storm water is stored and used for the sewage systems.
Community development is also done by the eco lodge management. But the conservation activities are not sufficient as it is located in an environmentally sensitive area.
Visitors are satisfied with the service providing by the staff. Nature walks, trekking and bird watching activities are conducted by the professional naturalists in house.
Increased focus on the conservation, increasing the hygienic and safety measures by preventing mosquitos and mice naturally from the site and improving the educational facilities can be recommended.
The government should monitor the eco-tourism service providers and their activities in order to provide sustainable and ‘Eco-friendly’ eco-tourism services for the visitors.
Eco Village Project in Bangladesh
Bangladesh Environment and Development Society (BEDS) and Korea Green Foundation (KGF) have taken a grass-roots initiative to build an Eco Village in Banishanta Union of Dacope Upazila under Khulna district in Bangladesh since 2015. This initiative addresses to solve the major regional problems like drinking water, cooking fuel, riverbank erosion, electricity, livelihood and education of the Sundarbans coastal community without harming the mangrove ecosystem.
Building with Nature Indonesia Securing Eroding Deltas and Coastlines
This document summarizes efforts in Demak, North Coast of Java to address coastal erosion through nature-based solutions. Permeable structures were built to mimic mangrove roots and reduce wave energy, allowing sediment deposition and natural mangrove regeneration. Associated mangrove aquaculture was also implemented, where mangroves provide benefits to shrimp/milkfish ponds. This integrated approach improved livelihoods, protected communities, and restored the coastline over multiple years. Monitoring showed the solutions successfully stopped erosion and raised awareness of rehabilitation techniques.

The students plan to raise awareness about the harms of plastic, clean up plastic currently in the zoo area, work with local organizations like the Forest Department and NGOs to provide more trash bins and increase sweepers. They have already learned about the issues with plastic from these partners and conducted an awareness rally for tourists at the zoo.
Sagar island
Sagar Island in West Bengal, India is known for its natural beauty but faces frequent environmental threats like erosion, cyclones, tidal surges and floods. In July 2022, an unexpected high tide flooded much of the island, damaging homes and crops. This destroyed livelihoods for thousands. An NGO called PUPA is providing relief through seed and livestock distribution, farmer training programs, and skill development courses. They are working on long-term solutions but the livelihood situation remains difficult for inhabitants.
Deforestation
The document summarizes the causes and effects of deforestation. It notes that around 11,000 years ago, 60% of the Earth was covered in forests but now only 1/5 remains due to clearing for various uses. Deforestation results in damage to habitats and biodiversity loss. It disrupts the water cycle and causes issues like soil erosion, flooding, and drought. Large amounts of carbon dioxide are also released into the atmosphere from burned or rotting trees. Reforestation efforts are needed to mitigate the effects of deforestation.
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.

It outlines plans for a plantation ring consisting of production forests, conservation areas, and livelihood zones. It also discusses community programs, certification initiatives, efforts to prevent illegal logging and fires, and research projects aimed at understanding peatland hydrology and carbon dynamics to minimize emissions. Sustainable management of peatlands is presented as key to protecting biodiversity, providing ecosystem services, and supporting local communities and economies in the long run.
Wildlife conservation presentation
The document summarizes a seminar on youth activities for wildlife conservation in Bangladesh. It discusses the meaning of wildlife conservation, threats to wildlife like habitat destruction and poaching, protected areas in Bangladesh, and extinct animal species. It also describes conservation activities done by the presenters, including rescuing and releasing injured animals, rallies to raise awareness, and seminars on conservation topics. The overall message is the importance of listening to youth voices and empowering young people to protect endangered wildlife.
Mammals
Mammals evolved from reptiles during the late Jurassic period. The first true mammal was a small, shrew-like organism that lived alongside dinosaurs. Mammals are characterized by hair and mammary glands and have more developed brains than other animals. There are three main types of mammalian reproduction: monotremes lay eggs, marsupials give birth to tiny embryos that develop further in the mother's pouch, and placentals develop embryos internally and feed via a placenta. The document then describes 14 orders of mammals including their defining characteristics.

An NGO called PUPA is providing relief through seed and livestock distribution, farmer training programs, and skill development courses. They are working on long-term solutions but the livelihood situation remains difficult for inhabitants.
Deforestation
The document summarizes the causes and effects of deforestation. It notes that around 11,000 years ago, 60% of the Earth was covered in forests but now only 1/5 remains due to clearing for various uses. Deforestation results in damage to habitats and biodiversity loss. It disrupts the water cycle and causes issues like soil erosion, flooding, and drought. Large amounts of carbon dioxide are also released into the atmosphere from burned or rotting trees. Reforestation efforts are needed to mitigate the effects of deforestation.
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.

Mammals
Mammals evolved from reptiles during the late Jurassic period. The first true mammal was a small, shrew-like organism that lived alongside dinosaurs. Mammals are characterized by hair and mammary glands and have more developed brains than other animals. There are three main types of mammalian reproduction: monotremes lay eggs, marsupials give birth to tiny embryos that develop further in the mother's pouch, and placentals develop embryos internally and feed via a placenta. The document then describes 14 orders of mammals including their defining characteristics.

Dna
DNA controls all chemical processes within cells and determines an organism's traits. It is a long molecule composed of nucleotides, each containing a sugar, phosphate, and organic base. The bases on two DNA strands bond together in a double helix structure. Before cell division, the DNA strands separate and each builds a new partner strand through nucleotide addition. This process of DNA replication results in two identical DNA molecules in each new cell.
