EXPLOITATION OF NATURAL AND ENERGY SOURCE
This document summarizes the exploitation of natural and energy resources. It discusses how resource extraction has increased since the 19th century to meet growing energy demands. About 80% of the world's energy comes from non-renewable fossil fuels. Exploitation of resources causes problems like depletion of fossil fuels, deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions, water pollution and soil erosion. A case study examines how Tamil Nadu's leather industry pollutes water sources and a potential solution of using seawater and waste heat from a nearby power plant is proposed. The document advocates reducing, recycling and reusing resources through sustainable management practices.
EXPLOITATION OF NATURAL AND ENERGY RESOURCES
The document outlines some problems arising from the exploitation of natural resources, including the depletion of fossil fuels, deforestation, increased greenhouse gases, water pollution, and soil erosion. It notes that the overuse of natural resources can lead to higher greenhouse gas levels, water pollution from waste, and soil erosion from loss of vegetation. In conclusion, exploiting natural resources in an unsustainable way can damage the environment in several ways.

Natural resources final ppt
Natural resources occur naturally and include materials like rocks, minerals, soil, rivers, and plants and animals. They satisfy human needs and can be used to create value. Humans are also a resource because through developing skills, they can develop other resources by adding value to physical materials. Any material from the earth that is used by living things and satisfies human needs is considered a natural resource. Resources can be biotic, like forests and animals, or abiotic, like air and water. Some resources are renewable, like sunlight, while others are non-renewable.
In situ conservation
This document discusses biodiversity conservation through the establishment of protected areas like national parks, wildlife refuges, biosphere reserves, and conservation corridors. It explains that national parks protect natural landscapes and species while prohibiting activities like grazing and cultivation. Wildlife refuges provide sanctuary for species from threats. Biosphere reserves integrate biodiversity conservation with sustainable development and include core protected zones surrounded by buffer and transition areas where limited human activities are permitted. Conservation corridors help share genetic information between protected populations.

Integrated Science M4 Tsunamis
The document provides information about tsunamis, including what they are, what causes them, their effects, and detection and mitigation. It begins with objectives and an overview. It then discusses how tsunamis differ from tidal waves, describing tsunamis as seismic sea waves rather than tidal phenomena. The document outlines some of the devastating effects of tsunamis and notes they can be detected but are very difficult to mitigate against once formed and traveling at high speed.
Conservation of plants & animals
This document discusses deforestation, its causes, and its consequences. It notes that deforestation occurs when forests are cleared for activities like agriculture, housing, and fuel. This removal of trees leads to issues like soil erosion, disruption of the water cycle, loss of biodiversity, and increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. To help address these problems, the document explains that protected areas like wildlife sanctuaries, biosphere reserves, and national parks have been established to conserve forests and wildlife. Reforestation efforts are also important to replenish harvested woodlands.
Deforestation & conservation efforts
About 11,000 years ago, before humans learned agriculture, forests covered much of the Earth's land. Today, after widespread deforestation, forests cover only about one-fifth of the planet's surface. Deforestation occurs for many reasons like using trees for fuel, timber, or cleared land for livestock or agriculture. The large-scale removal of trees without replanting has damaged habitats and biodiversity while increasing carbon dioxide emissions and soil erosion. Currently 12 million hectares of forest are cleared annually.
Deforestation
Deforestation is clearing the world's forests at an unsustainable rate, resulting in damage to the land. Each year, an area the size of Panama is lost, and at the current rate the world's rainforests could vanish within 100 years. The state of Rondônia in Brazil was once home to over 50 million acres of forest but is now one of the most deforested parts of the Amazon. Deforestation is caused by activities like logging, burning forests for livestock grazing, and agriculture. The best solution is sustainable forest management through limiting clear-cutting and balancing tree harvesting with new planting.
Impact of human activities on weather and climate
The document discusses the key differences between weather and climate. Weather is defined as the short-term atmospheric conditions of a place, such as temperature, precipitation, and wind. Climate is defined as the average weather conditions of a place over a long period of time, usually 30 years or more. Some key differences highlighted are that weather is the current conditions while climate describes the typical weather patterns of a location.
Human impact in the environment
Human activity has significantly impacted the environment through population growth, urban development, industry, agriculture, and livestock. Some of the effects include contamination of water, land and air, loss and alteration of ecosystems, reduced biodiversity, climate change, and diminished water availability. Many forests and fisheries around the world have been severely degraded. Mexico in particular has lost over 37% of its original forest cover and over 80% of fisheries are fully exploited. The document encourages individual action like reducing ecological footprints through conserving water, planting trees, and recycling to help address pressing environmental problems.
A presentation on impact of human activities on weather and climate
This document is a report by students in New Delhi analyzing changes to weather and climatic conditions in nearby areas and the human factors responsible. It discusses how human activities like changed lifestyles, deforestation, agriculture, energy production and waste generation are contributing to climate change by releasing greenhouse gases and modifying the environment. The impacts of climate change include rising sea levels, worsening health issues, more severe droughts and melting ice sheets. The report urges actions like preserving forests, transitioning to renewable energy and obtaining a global climate deal to address this urgent problem.
Noise pollution
In this slide, Sources, Characteristics, Effects, Measurement and Control of Noise Pollution are explained very nicely.
Management of natural resources priti
This document summarizes the key concepts around the management of natural resources. It discusses sustainable development as meeting current human needs while preserving resources for future generations. Natural resource management is important to prevent overexploitation, consider environmental impacts, and ensure all people can benefit. The document then covers specific natural resources like forests, wildlife, water, and fossil fuels. It provides examples of different stakeholders and their roles. Finally, it emphasizes the importance of conservation and provides some steps individuals can take to reduce their impact.
Noise pollution
Noise pollution occurs when unwanted sound disrupts normal activities or exceeds levels that affect human health. Transportation systems are a main source of noise pollution in urban areas. Noise pollution can cause health issues like high blood pressure, stress, sleep disruption, and hearing loss. Solutions include planting trees near sound sources, maintaining vehicles and machinery, installing soundproofing in buildings, and enforcing regulations on loud speakers.
Impact of human on climate conclusion
WHY WE CONSCIOUSLY AND SUBCONSCIOUSLY DESTROY OUR PRECIOUS ENVIRONMENT WITH THE INTENT OF MAKING LIFE EASIER AND ALSO GENERATING ECONOMICAL BENEFITS.
Green house effect CAUSES & IMPACT ON ENVIRONMENT
The document discusses the greenhouse effect and its causes and impacts. It begins by defining a greenhouse as a structure for growing plants and traces the history of greenhouses back to Roman times. It then explains that the greenhouse effect occurs naturally, trapping heat from the sun within the atmosphere due to greenhouse gases like water vapor and CO2. However, human activities like burning fossil fuels have increased CO2 levels and are enhancing the greenhouse effect, causing the planet to warm. Some impacts of this global warming include melting ice caps and rising sea levels, changes to weather and ecosystems, and threats to human health.

Noise Pollution
Noise pollution is a type of environmental pollution caused by loud or unwanted sounds that can negatively impact human health and wildlife. Transportation vehicles are major contributors to noise pollution through aircraft, trains, trucks, buses, cars, and motorcycles. Noise pollution can cause health issues like hypertension, stress, hearing loss, and sleep disturbances in both humans and animals. It also disrupts wildlife behaviors and reduces suitable habitats. Solutions include designing quieter vehicles, limiting vehicle speeds, using noise barriers, and transitioning to electric vehicles.
3a Karen Ellis (wwf) transforming economic decision-making
The document discusses transforming economic decisionmaking to better account for conservation gains. Currently, nature is priced at zero and decisions are made with short-termism rather than considering natural capital or sustainability mandates. To address this, some countries are pursuing natural capital accounting, valuation of ecosystem services, green GDP metrics, and updating guidelines for policymaking. The conservation movement should continue promoting nature's intrinsic value while also engaging policymakers on how to assess, incorporate, and use the economic value of nature to influence decisions and fund conservation.

This document discusses rethinking sustainability on college campuses. It suggests that while many campuses focus on green buildings and recycling, true sustainability requires a more fundamental rethinking of how to build a sustainable society and address social and environmental justice issues. The document advocates shifting focus outward to projects connecting with the natural world like campus treescapes, community gardens, and sustainable agriculture programs. It argues this type of reframing is needed since sustainability challenges existing worldviews and requires new strategies rather than just reducing unsustainability.
Environmental economics intro
This document discusses the need for environmental economics and more sustainable approaches. It notes that classical economics focuses on supply and demand without considering environmental external costs. This leads to market failures and overconsumption of limited resources. Environmental economics aims to assign value to natural resources and ecosystem services to better account for their importance. Approaches like natural capitalism emphasize radical resource productivity, closed-loop systems, and reinvesting in natural capital to support future prosperity within planetary boundaries. Individual actions and policy changes are needed to transition toward more sustainable economic models.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
