NATURAL VEGETATION AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION
To maintain ecological balance of nature and maintain food chain and nature cycles.
It has economic value. Many wild plants provide useful substances like timber, paper , gums etc. And they also have wide applications in Ayurveda and other branches of medicine Wild animals products are tusk, ivory ,leather, honey etc
Most important contribution of wild life for human progress is availability of
Large gene pool for the scientists to carry breeding programmes in agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery
Wild life provides a esthetic value to man.
Wildlife of a country is its cultural asset

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. • We share this planet with millions of other living beings, starting
from micro-organisms and bacteria , lichens to banyan trees
,elephants and blue Whales.
• This entire habitat that we live in has immense biodiversity .
• Forests play a key role in the ecological System as these are
also the primary producers on which all other living beings
depend.
4. India is one of the world’s richest countries in
terms of its vast array of biological diversity.
These diverse flora and fauna are so well
integrated in our daily life that we take these for
granted.
But lately, they are under great stress mainly due
to insensitivity to our environment.
At least 10% of India’s recorded wild flora and
20% of its mammals are on the threated list.
FLORA AND FAUNA IN INDIA
5. BIODIVERSITY OR BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY
lt is immensely rich in
wildlife and cultivated
species, diverse in form &
function but closely
integrated in a system
through multiple network
of interdependencies.
6. VANISHING FORESTS
The dimensions of deforestation
in India are staggering. The
forest and tree cover in the
courtry is estimated at 79.42
million hectare , which is 24.16
% of the total geographical
area ( dense forest 12.2% ;
open forest 9.14 % ; and
mangrove forest 0.14%) .
According to the State of forest
Report (2015) .
7. Different categories of existing plants and animal
species . Based on the International union for
conservation of nature and Natural Resources (IUCN)
1. NORMAL SPECIES
Species whose population levels are
considered to be normal for their
survival, such as cattle, Sal, Pine ,
Rodents etc.
9. 2. ENDANGERED
SPECIES
• These are species which are
in danger of extinction. The
Survival of such species is
difficult if the negative
factors that have led to a
decline in their population
continue to operate.
• The examples of such
species are black duck,
crocodile , Indian wild ass ,
Indian Rhino, Lion tailed
macaque, Sangai (brow
anter deer in Manipur) etc.
12. 3. VULNERABLE SPECIES
• These are species whose population has
declined to levels from where it is likely to
move into the endangered category in the
near future if the negative factors continue
to operate. Example – Blue Sheep, Asiatic
elephant , Gangetic Dolphin etc.
14. 4. RARE SPECIES
• Species with small population may move
into the endangered or vulnerable category
if the negative factors affecting them
continue to operate .
• Examples – Himalayan Brown Bear, wild
Asiatic buffalo, Desert fox & Hornbill etc
16. 5. ENDEMIC SPECIES
• These are species which
are only found in some
particular areas usually
isolated by natural or
geographical barriers.
• Examples – Andaman
teal, Nicobar pigeon,
Andaman wild pig ,
Mithun in Arunachal
Pradesh .
18. 6. EXTINCT SPECIES
• These are species which are not found after
searches of known or likely areas where they
may occur .
• A species may be extinct from a local area, region,
country, continent or the entire Earth .
• Examples – Asiatic Cheetah, Pink Head Duck .
20. • Today, the Asian Cheetah is nearly extinct due to a
decline of available habitat & prey. The species was
declared extinct in India long back in 1952.
ASIATIC CHEETAH:
WHERE DID THEY GO?
• The world’s fastest land mammal, the cheetah
(Acinonyx jubantus) is a unique & Specialised member
of the cat family & can move at the speed of 112 km/hr.
• Prior to the 20th century, cheetahs were widely
distributed throughout Africa and Asia .
22. 1.We have transformed nature into a
resource obtaining directly and indirectly
from the forests and wildlife - wood, barks,
rubber, medicines, fuel etc. So it is ourselves
who have depleted the forest and wildlife.
2. The greatest damage inflicted on Indian
forests was during the colonial period due
to the expansion of railways,
agriculture,commercial, Scientific forestry
and mining activities.
23. 3. After Independence, Agricultural expansion
continues to be one of the major causes of
depletion of forest resources. Between 1951 and
1980 , According to the Forest Survey of India ,
over 26, 200 Sq.km of forest area was converted
into agricultural land all over India.
4. In the North Eastern and C. India , The forest
have been deforested or degraded by shifting
cultivation (Jhum) a type of ‘Slash and Burn’
agriculture.
24. 5.Large scale development projects have also
contributed significantly to the loss of Forests.
6.Mining is another important factor behind
deforestation. The Buxa tiger reserve in W.
Bengal is seriously threatened by the ongoing
dolomite mining.
7. Many foresters and environmentalists hold
the view that the greatest degrading factors of
forest resources are grazing and fuel-wood
collection.
25. 8. Habitat destruction, hunting, Poaching, over-
exploitation, environmental pollution, poisoning
and forest fires are factors which have led to the
decline in India’s biodiversity.
9. Over- population is also a major cause for
environmental degradation in India.
10. Poverty is also a direct outcome of
environmental destruction in India.
ll.Therefore, forest & wildlife are vital to the
quality of life and environment in the
subcontinent.
26. THE HIMALAYAN YEW IN TROUBLE
The Himalayan Yew is a medicinal
plant found in various part of
Himachal Pradesh and Arunachal
Pradesh. A chemical compound
called ‘Taxol’ is extracted from
the bark, twigs, roots of this trees
and it is used to treat some
cancers – the drug is now the
biggest selling anti-cancer drug in
the world.
27. CONSERVATION OF FORESTS AND WILDLIFE IN INDIA
Conservation in the background of rapid decline
in wildlife population and forestry has become
essential.
Conservation preserves the ecological diversity
and our life support systems- water, air and soil.
It also preserves the genetic diversity of plants
and animals for better growth of species and
breeding.
28. THE INDIAN WILDLIFE
PROTECTION ACT (1972)
The act was implemented in 1972, with various provisions
for protecting habitats.
An all India list of protected species was also published.
The thrust of the program was towards protecting the
remaining population of certain endangered species by
banning hunting, giving legal protection to their habitats,
and restricting trade in wildlife.
The central government also announced several projects for
protecting specific animals.
30. PROJECT TIGER
The major threats to tiger
population are:
1)Poaching for trade
2)Shrinking habitat
3)Growing human population
4)The trade of tiger skins and
use of their bones in traditional
medicines
31. • Tiger conservation has not only been viewed as an
effort to save an endangered species but as a means
of preserving biotypes of sizable magnitude.
• The conservation projects are now focusing on
biodiversity rather than on a few of its components.
• In the notification under wildlife act of 1980 and
1986, several insects and plant species have been
added to the list of protected species.
32. • In India much of its forest and wildlife resources are
either owned or managed by the government through
the forest department.
• These are classified under the following categories:-
TYPES AND DISTIBUTION OF FOREST AND WILDLIFE
RESOURCES
33. RESERVED FORESTS:
• More than half of the total
forest land has been
declared reserved forests.
• Reserved forests are
regarded as the most
valuable as far as the
conservation of forest and
wildlife resources are
concerned.
34. PROTECTED FORESTS:
• Almost one-third of the
total forest area is
protected forest.
• This forest land are
protected from any
further depletion.
35. UNCLASSED FORESTS:
• These are other forests
and wastelands
belonging to both
government and private
individuals and
communities.
36. COMMUNITY AND
CONSERVATION
• Local communities are struggling to conserve
these habitats along with government officials,
recognizing that only this will secure their own
long-term livelihood.
• In many areas, villagers themselves are
protecting habitats and explicitly rejecting
government involvement.
37. SACRED GROVES
Nature worship is an age-old
tribal belief based on the
premise that all creations of
nature have to be protected.
Such beliefs have preserved
several virgin forests in pristine
form called sacred groves (the
forests of god and goddesses)
38. CHIPKO MOVEMENT
The famous Chipko movement
in the Himalayas has not only
successfully resisted
deforestation in several areas
but has also shown that
community afforestation with
indigenous species can be
enormously successful.
40. • It furnishes a good example for involving local communities in
the management and restoration of degraded forests.
• It has been in formal existence since 1988.
• JFM depends on the formation of local institutions that
undertake protection activities mostly on degraded forest land.
• In return, the members of these communities are entitled to
intermediary benefits like non-timber forest produces and
share in the timber harvested by ‘successful protection’
• Thus, it is clear that local communities everywhere have to be
involved in some kind of natural resource development.
