Lesson 2. Earth’s Bounty eco tourism management
Earth's bounty refers to the abundance and diversity of natural resources, including plants, animals, minerals, water, and air, that sustain life on the planet.
It encompasses the intricate web of ecosystems and biodiversity that support ecological balance and provide essential goods and services to humanity.
The social and cultural importance of nature and natural resources in various societies and civilizations is included in the concept of Earth's bounty.
Cultural and Sociological Perspective: It encompasses customs, knowledge systems, cultural beliefs, and behaviors pertaining to food, agriculture, land use, and environmental preservation.
Biodiversity
The term biodiversity (from “biological diversity”) refers to the variety of life on Earth at all its levels, from genes to ecosystems, and can encompass the evolutionary, ecological, and cultural processes that sustain life.
At the Center for Biodiversity and Conservation, we include humans and human cultural diversity as a part of biodiversity.
Biocultural- the dynamic, continually evolving and interconnected nature of people and place, and the notion that social and biological dimensions are interrelated.

Genesis:creation
1 In the beginning God created heaven and earth.
2 Now the earth was a formless void, there was darkness over the deep, with a divine wind sweeping over the waters.
3 God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light.
4 God saw that light was good, and God divided light from darkness.
5 God called light 'day', and darkness he called 'night'. Evening came and morning came: the first day.
6 God said, 'Let there be a vault through the middle of the waters to divide the waters in two.' And so it was.
7 God made the vault, and it divided the waters under the vault from the waters above the vault.
8 God called the vault 'heaven'. Evening came and morning came: the second day.
Genesis in relation to Ecotourism
Stewardship of Creation: According to Genesis, God gives humans authority over the planet and all of its inhabitants. This may be seen as a request for careful environmental stewardship. This idea is promoted by ecotourism, which encourages visitors to respect and protect wildlife, natural habitats, and regional cultures.
Appreciation for Nature's Beauty: Genesis portrays the world as a masterpiece of God's creation, emphasizing its beauty and diversity. Similarly, ecotourism encourages travelers to appreciate the natural beauty of destinations they visit, fostering a deeper connection with the environment and a desire to conserve it for future generations. Genesis emphasizes the diversity and beauty of nature, showing it as a maste

Developing Northern Australia for 100 Million PeopleMohd Peter Davis
What became clear to the audience is that Australia already has the culture of agriculture, and the projects ready to go, all that's stopping it is the political will.

1. Phillip Ramirez <br />October 6, 2010<br />Showcase 1<br />HWL 9<br />Ms. Hahn<br />Words: 783<br />The Setting Sun<br />Many years ago, the god Hileo, Creator of All Things, created the earth. Hileo filled the earth with birds, animals, and fish of all types. He also put plants and water on the earth so its inhabitants would not thirst or hunger. Hileo even gave the earth light from the sun, which in those days never set.<br />Hileo’s final creation was a man and a woman. He took a bit of everything he had created and put it into their bodies. Finally, Hileo breathed into them, causing the man and the woman to come to life. <br />“You shall be the guardians of earth and her inhabitants,” Hileo told the man and the woman. “As long as you and your descendants live you shall watch over and protect the birds, animals, and fish from harm.”<br />The two people then set out to do Hileo’s bidding. They had many children to help them with their mission. Eventually, the children of the first man and woman were so numerous, they could watch over all the species of earth at the same time. However, because they were so far away from their mother and father, the children began to forget their sacred mission. The first of the children to forget was a young boy named Fuego.<br />Fuego was sent to the plains of Africa after he was born so he could watch over the lions. Fuego saw the lions eating the meat Hileo had given them and became very jealous. In those days, all the human beings had to eat were the fruits and vegetables that grew from the earth. <br />“Why do I have to eat these fruits and vegetables while the lions feast on the meat of the god Hileo?” Fuego said to himself. “Perhaps I will just try one little bite.”<br /> So, after the lions were finished, Fuego went over to the remnants and took off a piece of meat. He brought it to his mouth and took one small nibble, no more than the size of a pinky nail. Instantly the sky turned dark. The Sun was covered by a massive cloud and the god Hileo’s booming voice descended from the cloud.<br />“Who dares to disobey the sacred mission I have placed on mankind? Step forward,” he said.<br />The god’s voice sounded very angry. Fuego tentatively stepped forward to face the wrath of Hileo.<br />“It was I, Fuego, protector of the lions who impeded the sacred mission,” Fuego said.<br />“Why have you done this?” asked Hileo. “I have given you the fruits from the trees and vegetables from the ground for you to eat. What more could you need?”<br />“I was only curious as to the taste of a piece of flesh. Is this so bad that you have come and blocked out the sun with your cloud?” asked Fuego.<br />Hileo was shocked at Fuego’s boldness and arrogance. He now had a proper punishment in mind.<br />“Fuego,” he said, “Since you have broken the sacred law and have questioned me, the creator of all things, I have but one choice: to take the sun away. This is the punishment that you have brought upon your race.”<br />With that, Hileo took the sun away. Darkness engulfed the land. No creature living had ever been in such darkness. In the darkness, Fuego slipped away to escape the wrath of all creation. He has still not been found to this day. <br />For many years, the earth was without light. All the birds, animals, and fish were suffering, for none of them could see their food or water. They began to prey upon each other in order to survive. The human beings were also suffering. Since they could find no fruits and vegetables in the darkness, the resorted to eating the flesh of other creatures. <br />Hileo saw how the earth’s inhabitants were suffering.<br />“Perhaps I should give the Sun back to earth so the birds, animals, fish, and humans may all live in light again,” Hileo thought to himself. “No, I cannot do that. Fuego has brought this punishment upon his people. Instead I will give the Sun back for half the day and take it away again at the end.”<br />That is what Hileo did. When he returned the Sun the entire Earth rejoiced. However their celebration was abruptly ended when Hileo told them it would only stay for half the day. Although unhappy, earth’s inhabitants agreed. From that point on, Hileo brought the sun in the morning and took it away at night. That is the way it has always and will always be, until the end of time. <br /> <br />
