This document contains summaries of several issues: 1) Land degradation and depletion of resources are threatening many developing countries as human activities negatively impact the environment. Global warming is also a concern. 2) Water conservation is needed as many areas face drought. Local governments implement strategies like public education, tiered water pricing, and limits on outdoor watering. 3) Tiger populations in India and Nepal have sharply declined due to hunting, with only around 1,141 tigers remaining in India. Tigers face a high risk of extinction. 4) Global warming has increased global temperatures over 1 degree Fahrenheit since 1900, largely due to human emissions of greenhouse gases. Urgent action is needed to address this issue.

1. CITIZEN’s Daily Hot Issues : Degrading Mother Nature. Extinction of Animal Resources. Depletion of Resources. Global Warming.

2. Most of the remote Villages of developing Countries suffer drought ,a Land Degradation Land degradation is a concept in which the value of the biophysical environment is affected by one or more combination of human-induced processes acting upon the land. Natural hazards are excluded as a cause, however human activities can indirectly affect phenomena such as floods and bushfires.

3. Water Conservation, The need of the Hour. Water conservation programs are typically initiated at the local level, by either municipal water utilities or regional governments. Common strategies include public outreach campaigns, tiered water rates (charging progressively higher prices as water use increases), subsidies for showerhead and toilet retrofits, and seasonal restrictions on lawn sprinklers. Cities in dry climates often require or encourage the installation of xeriscaping or natural landscaping in new homes to reduce outdoor water usage.

4. Save Tigers…..only 1141 left in India Tigers have been hunted heavily by humans over the past few years. The tiger population in the Indian sub-continent has declined seriously in the past fifty years. Nepal has only two hundred tigers, while India has about four thousand, a serious decline from the past figures. Though the tiger is one of the most powerful mammal, it also faces the worst chances of being extinct. Global Warming, The issue that needs Urgent sollution The average facade temperature of the globe has augmented more than 1 degree Fahrenheit since 1900 and the speed of warming has been almost three folds the century long average since 1970. This increase in earth’s average temperature is called Global warming. More or less all specialists studying the climate record of the earth have the same opinion now that human actions, mainly the discharge of green house gases from smokestacks, vehicles, and burning forests, are perhaps the leading power driving the fashion.
