Kerala is a state located on the Malabar Coast of southwestern India. It is known for its diverse geography and extensive greenery. The state has a narrow fertile coastal strip sandwiched between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea, with a long coastline that has encouraged contact with other parts of the world. Houseboats are a unique feature of the state, allowing visitors to explore the extensive network of lakes and canals known as backwaters while enjoying local cuisine and culture.

Houseboats Kerala

Mahi Manral

Kerala is a beautiful state in India known for its charming backwaters. Cruising on traditional houseboats through the backwaters is a memorable way for tourists to experience Kerala's natural beauty and tranquility. The houseboat journeys pass palm-fringed trees and green rice fields below sea level, allowing visitors to glimpse beautiful landscapes. Many tourists, including honeymooners seeking solitude, enjoy the backwater cruises to escape into a world of serenity on the houseboats.

West Weald Landscape Project Conference: Hedgerows

Sussex Wildlife Trust

This document discusses hedgerows and their importance for ecosystem services and biodiversity. It provides information on: 1) Hedgerows provide numerous ecosystem services including food, fiber, climate regulation, erosion control, and cultural benefits. Over 120 UK BAP species are linked to hedgerows. 2) Hedgerow structure includes trees, shrubs, margins and bases that provide habitat for many species. Good management is important to maintain healthy hedgerows. 3) Hedgerow loss has stabilized in recent decades but many existing hedgerows are in poor condition with gaps, lack of trees, and disturbed ground nearby. Efforts aim to improve 50% of hedger

The Calder Greening project

Calderdale Communications

Calder Greening is a series of projects to improve green spaces, encourage tourism and business growth, and complement the Flood Alleviation Schemes with naturally managed flood risk across the Calder Valley. Part funded by the European Structural and Investment Fund (ESIF) as part of a £1.3m package, it is being delivered by Calderdale Council in partnership with the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and the Environment Agency.

L 1 geo class x resource & development

syamkumar pokkathara

The document discusses different classifications and types of resources. It defines resources as everything available in the environment that satisfies human needs. Resources are classified based on their origin (biotic or abiotic), exhaustibility (renewable like forests or non-renewable like minerals), ownership (individual, community, national, international), and level of development (potential, developed, stock, reserves). Soil is an important resource that takes millions of years to form and varies based on factors like parent rock and climate. Soil erosion due to human and natural causes upsets the balance between soil formation and erosion. Resource planning and conservation methods like contour ploughing are important for sustainable use of limited resources.

Little wittneham nature reserve esa

ClaireHamlett

Little Wittneham Nature Reserve in Oxfordshire aims to reconnect people with nature, conserve the local environment, and educate the public about sustainability. The reserve provides various ecosystem services like biodiversity, plant energy, habitats for pollinators, flood protection, and recreation/education. A report analyzed and assessed these services, finding nearly 200,000 annual visitors who benefit from aesthetics, recreation, and education. Services like carbon sequestration and pollination may be worth over £400 million annually. The report recommends continuing traditional conservation techniques while preparing for threats like more visitors or land use changes.

World Science Day Keynote Address

This document describes an educational program offered in New Zealand that provides students a holistic learning experience through exploring various thematic zones in the country. The zones include areas highlighting English culture, alpine trails, mining and milling, glaciers and scenic landscapes, adventures and deserts, fiords, Scottish culture, and active volcanoes. Students stay in local hotels and eat in restaurants, and are accompanied by experienced English-speaking guides to learn about the flora, fauna, geology, and history through first-hand experiences of the zones' natural beauty and cultural activities.

This document discusses how historic environments can contribute to and benefit from green infrastructure planning in Worcestershire, England. It provides examples of how historic features like hedgerows, designed landscapes, woodlands, and water features can serve green infrastructure functions. The document also outlines Worcestershire's green infrastructure vision and partnership, and how historic environment assessments are used to identify opportunities and constraints at both strategic and local planning levels.

Unit 6: The People and the environment

nuriasanchez3

This document outlines different terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and discusses how human activity affects the environment. It describes forest, mountain grasslands, deserts and steppes as terrestrial ecosystems and marine ecosystems such as sandy beaches, rocky shores and the open sea as well as freshwater ecosystems like rivers and lagoons as aquatic ecosystems. The document also explains how pollution, deforestation, desertification, and endangered species are effects of human activity on the environment.

Forests play an important role in maintaining water supply by supporting the water cycle through evapotranspiration and intercepting rainfall, maintaining water quality by acting as a natural filter, and keeping soil fertile by replenishing nutrients in the nutrient cycle. Deforestation in Kalimantan, Borneo is caused by activities like commercial logging, mining, farming, and settlements which have led to issues like soil erosion, loss of biodiversity, and increased carbon emissions. Solutions to deforestation include conservation through protected areas, reforestation, public awareness campaigns, and sustainable forest management practices.

Managing a masterpiece

Brecks Partnership

The document summarizes the Managing a Masterpiece landscape partnership project in the Stour Valley region. Over three years and with £1.1 million in funding, the project involves 62 individual projects across three programs: to understand, conserve, and celebrate the landscape. Projects include public archaeology activities, traditional building skills workshops, countryside management training, natural heritage surveys, and improving access to churches, castles, and the river. The goal is to understand, conserve, and celebrate the cultural and natural heritage of the Stour Valley for the public and future generations.

Managing a masterpiece

Brecks Partnership

The document summarizes the Managing a Masterpiece Landscape Partnership Scheme, a £1.1 million project to understand, conserve, and celebrate the landscape of the Stour Valley over three years through 62 individual projects. The projects involve public archaeology activities, traditional building skills workshops, countryside management training, natural heritage surveys, and improving access to churches, castles, and the countryside. The goal is to engage over 1000 volunteers to help conserve the natural and built heritage of the Stour Valley for future generations to enjoy.

AONB National Induction 2020

NAAONB landscapesforlife

This document provides an induction for new staff, committee members, and volunteers on Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs) in the UK. It begins with an overview of AONBs, noting that there are 46 across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland protecting some of Britain's finest countryside. It then discusses what AONBs are, their purpose of conserving and enhancing natural beauty, and the work of AONB partnerships. The document provides historical context on AONBs and their legal basis, as well as information on AONB management, planning and development, nature recovery efforts, AONB teams, and diversity and inclusivity.

The document discusses the potential effects of Brexit on UK agriculture and landscapes over the coming years. It outlines different Brexit scenarios from a hard Brexit with no deal to a soft Brexit with close EU ties. Economic analyses have found that introducing trade friction through tariffs or regulatory divergence could damage export-reliant UK farm sectors and raise food prices. The impacts would depend on future trade and agricultural support policies. Protected landscapes like national parks may be more vulnerable due to their reliance on grazing livestock and EU supports. The consequences for farming and landscapes remain uncertain as negotiations continue.
