The petroleum industry in Nigeria is the largest industry and mean generator of Gross Domestic product (GDP) in the West African Nation. Inspite of the huge financial investment made by the Nigerian government in the oil and gas industry of the economy, it has not resulted in significant benefits for most Nigerians.

Eni, formerly the Italian state oil company, is undertaking a new multi-billion dollar investment in Congo in developing tar sands, oil palm for food and bio-diesel and gas-fuelled electricity. Eni’s investments in tar sands and oil palm are inherently high-risk. In other parts of the world, such investments have been heavily criticized for causing social and environmental damage, both locally and globally. The actual study gives background information about the investment.

From the Muslim Mindanao Autonomy Roundtable Discussion Series of the Institute for Autonomy and Governance (IAG), presentation by Atty. Randolph Parcasio | 6 July 2015, Committee Room 1 Senate of the Philippines

Historic Injustice: Root cause of armed conflict in the BangsamoroArmi Beatriz Bayot
This is a presentation I gave in Tacloban City on February 5, 2016 in an event organized by the Philippine Information Agency and the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process. While I also had a presentation on the technical aspects of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro, I felt strongly about first providing context on the armed conflict in the Bangsamoro and the rationale for the peace process that seeks to address it.
Canadian companies abroad: perspective from Papua New Guinea
Matilda Koma, Director, Centre for Environmental Research and Development, Papua New Guinea
The Nigerian mining sector is a formidable one with a very bright prospect,but needs government intervention in the area of infrastructure and effective mobilisation of its operators,so as to achieve maximum results.
One of the ways to achieve good results in this area,is through bringing identified illiterate miners close to the government,so as to utilise them and their expertise,to secure a lot of revenue. The activities of illegal miners in most part of the country is an eyesaw and needs soft handling,in order to bring them closer to the government.In doing this,government should provide a form of subtle training for indentified miners and make them see reason why mining is a huge business,if properly harnessed.
This measure,if properly addressed,will be a bedrock to end the illegal activities of artisans,seeking their daily bread and selling these mineral resources at very cheap prices. This will also create employment opportunities for them.We believe in the history and expertise of the new honourable minister of Solid Minerals, Dr.Kayode Fayemi, to create new reforms,such as the one mentioned here and many others,so as to make Nigerian mining industry lucrative and seemingly attractive to foreign investors.

Newsbreak Special Issue: The Big Dig-Mining Rush Rakes Up Tons Of ConflictNo to mining in Palawan
The Philippines is not conducive to socially responsible mining—not yet. There’s a lot of cleaning up to be done. The national government can start by making mining companies pay up for the damages that their operations are expected to bring.
The Foundation for the Philippine Environment saw, as we did, the need to put matters in perspective before the government grants any more mining permits. They provided funding for this special issue. Editorial judgment was left to us.
Roel Landingin, our guest editor, came up with a very comprehensive lineup of stories. This is the first journalistic assessment of the mining industry since the Supreme Court upheld the mining act in 2004.

Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity

This presentation is for us to know that how our Environment need Attention for protection of our natural resources which are depleted day by day that's why we need to take time and shift our attention to renewable energy sources instead of non-renewable sources which are better and Eco-friendly for our environment. these renewable energy sources are so helpful for our planet and for every living organism which depends on environment.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
