case study on wild life tourism
Wildlife tourism involves observing and interacting with local animal and plant life in their natural habitats. It is an important part of tourism in many countries. Some examples of wildlife sanctuaries in India include Parambikulam in Kerala and Gir in Gujarat. Wildlife tourism can positively impact conservation through habitat restoration, breeding endangered species, donations, research, and deterring poaching. However, it also risks damaging the environment, exploiting local communities, and prioritizing profits over preservation. Suggestions to improve wildlife tourism in Kerala include increasing awareness, transportation, shopping facilities, and introducing new activities.

This document provides an overview and comparison of the treatment of animals on two Japanese islands - Miyajima Island's deer and Okunoshima Island's rabbits. On Miyajima Island, tourists were previously allowed to feed the deer but this was banned in 2007, though signs of the ban are inconspicuous and deer continue to beg tourists for food. On Okunoshima Island, tourists are still allowed to feed the rabbits, though the hotel secretly discourages it due to waste issues. Both islands face challenges around population control and changing animal behaviors due to human intervention.
Onilne ppt: Natural resourses
This document discusses different types of natural resources including forests, wetlands, mangroves, and sacred groves. Forests cover 9.4% of the earth's surface and function as habitats and regulators of hydrologic and soil processes. Wetlands occur where water is the primary factor and include marine, estuarine, lacustrine, riverine, and palustrine types. Mangroves provide nursery habitats for wildlife and maintain coastal water quality. Sacred groves in India are densely wooded areas left for religious purposes that conserve biodiversity and retain water and soil.

Research proposal on ecotourism
Ecotourism is a part of environmental conservation, and understanding what the needs of the people are who are local to the area so that you can help to improve their quality of life. It also involves learning more about the history of other cities and preserving the historical landmarks.
Here in my research I need to identify the scope and development of ecotourism. And the management of ecotourism in both government and non-government organizations.
Research Objectives are thought to be as follows:-
1. To determine the volume of tourism in ecological areas and other areas in Bangladesh.
2. Find out the opportunities for developing ecotourism.
3. Identify the pros and cons of ecotourism on the local communities of Bangladesh.
Bangladesh is a gift of nature. This country is an attractive ecotourism destination in south Asia (Bhuiyanet al.2010). Its natural resources, ecological advantages and situated in an important geographical nerve point are great pleasure for developing ecotourism here. Bangladesh has a host of tourist treasurers to offer to tourists- beaches, lakes, rivers, hills, forests, wildlife, tribal life, archaeological remains, including historical monuments, folklore, religious and cultural heritage, handicrafts and much more. All these combinations are enormous ecotourism products. The country, having tourism potential, must be conscious in developing market. The country has its potential to differentiate its product for its uniqueness. Therefore, ecotourism industry of Bangladesh must arrange its different elements such a way that give its better satisfaction to the visitors of the world.
Biodiversity Management & Forestry
This document discusses biodiversity and forestry management. It defines biodiversity as the variety of life forms within a given environment. Terrestrial biodiversity is highest near the equator due to warm temperatures and high primary productivity, while marine biodiversity is highest along shorelines in tropical areas. Five major extinction events in Earth's history caused large reductions in biodiversity. Forestry involves managing forests to meet human needs while maintaining ecological resources and other values. The challenge is developing culturally acceptable practices that sustain the forest resource over time. Forestry aims to provide wood and other forest products while also supporting wildlife habitat and water quality.

biosphere Case
Biosphere reserves are areas designated by UNESCO to promote conservation and sustainable development. They consist of core areas of strict protection surrounded by buffer zones and transition areas that allow human activities. The main goals of biosphere reserves are conservation, logistic support, and development through balancing human use of resources with protecting biodiversity and ecosystems. India has established many biosphere reserves to preserve representative ecosystems and endangered species through habitat and species protection.
Presentation on wildlife - Akib Sumon
This document discusses wildlife biodiversity in Bangladesh. It defines wildlife and biodiversity, noting that biodiversity describes the variety of life on Earth across animals, plants, and microorganisms. The importance of biodiversity is explained, such as maintaining ecosystem balance and providing resources for humans. Major threats to Bangladesh's biodiversity are identified as natural calamities, habitat loss, pollution, and poaching. The document outlines strategies for protecting wildlife, including establishing sanctuaries and reserves, reforestation, reducing pollution and waste dumping, and increasing public education around conservation.
Zones of biosphere reserve
A biosphere reserve is divided into three zones: the core zone where no human activity is allowed, the buffer zone where limited human activity is permitted, and the manipulation zone where several human activities like settlements, cropping, and forestry can occur. Biosphere reserves aim to preserve wildlife populations, tribal lifestyles, and genetic resources while also supporting conservation, economic development, and scientific research. India has 14 biosphere reserves that help protect biodiversity in sacred forests and lakes. Ex situ conservation strategies like botanical gardens and gene banks also help preserve species and genetic resources.

- Mangroves occur in tropical regions and cover around 17-20 million hectares globally. They act as coastal stabilizers, providing shelter and barriers against erosion.
- Mangroves support high levels of biodiversity, including over 250 mammal species, and provide resources to humans like fuel, building materials, and traditional medicines.
- Mangroves play an important role in mitigating issues like sea level rise from global warming and stabilizing coastal communities. Their roots also trap sediments and help build land over long periods.
- While difficult to value financially, mangroves provide important ecological, economic, and cultural benefits. Their
Biodiversity conservation
This document discusses biodiversity conservation methods, including both in-situ and ex-situ approaches. In-situ conservation aims to protect whole ecosystems and biodiversity within habitats, and is done through designating biodiversity hotspots and establishing protected areas like national parks and sanctuaries. Ex-situ conservation involves protecting threatened species outside their natural environments, such as through botanical gardens, zoos, seed banks, and gene banks which preserve genetic material. The document provides details on biodiversity hotspots in India, examples of protected areas, and challenges to conserving biodiversity due to habitat loss, overexploitation, and climate change.
Nsk
The document discusses various natural resources including renewable resources like forests and water, non-renewable resources like minerals, and food and energy resources. It notes that deforestation rates are high in tropical countries, with over 90% of tropical forests estimated to be lost in the next 60 years at current rates. Dams have negatively impacted forests and tribal people through habitat destruction. Water is essential for life but faces problems of overuse, floods, and conflicts. Mineral resources are important for development but their extraction can damage the environment. Growing energy needs require a shift to renewable sources. Equitable sharing of resources between developed and developing nations is needed for sustainable development.
Report for ecology
The document discusses forests in the Philippines, including the types of forests, their value, and threats. It outlines 8 major types of forests: dipterocarp, molave, pine, mangrove, beach, mid-mountain, limestone, and freshwater/swamp. Forests provide both tangible and intangible values such as regulating water cycles, preventing erosion, and providing economic and environmental benefits. However, forests face major threats from illegal logging, mining, and other human and natural destructive activities. Conservation methods include afforestation, scientific harvesting, and selective logging.

Superstition
Superstitions are irrational beliefs arising from fear that lead people to engage in certain rituals and ceremonies according to urban legends to avoid bad luck. They originate from beliefs formed in childhood and represent mankind's fears. Common good luck superstitions include horseshoes, four leaf clovers, while black cats, dogs howling at night, and crows are seen as signs of bad luck. Superstitions can impact perceptions of success or failure by associating ideas with the supernatural. To overcome superstitions, one should adopt a more optimistic and rational approach by being scientific rather than superstitious.

K TO 12 GRADE 7 LEARNING MODULE IN HEALTH (Q3-Q4)
1. The document discusses the concepts of health and disease. It defines health as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, not just the absence of disease.
2. Communicable diseases are caused by pathogens that can be transmitted between people. Examples include common colds, influenza, and tuberculosis. Non-communicable diseases like heart disease and cancer are not transmitted between people.
3. Health and disease exist on a continuum. Optimal health is at the top, with progressive illness and death at the bottom. A person's health fluctuates along this continuum based on lifestyle choices and environmental factors. Maintaining good health requires efforts to stay at the higher end of the continuum.
Disease health grade 7 third quarter
This document discusses various topics related to health and disease, including:
- The dimensions of health (physical, mental, intellectual, spiritual, social)
- The difference between disease and illness
- Types of microorganisms that cause disease (viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, parasitic worms)
- The chain of infection and how diseases spread
- Methods of disease transmission (direct, indirect)
- Stages of infection (incubation, early symptoms, clinical, recovery)
- Methods of prevention and control of infection (medical asepsis, standard precautions, universal precautions, body substance isolation)
7 Elements Of Culture
There are 7 key elements that define a culture: 1) social organization including families and social classes, 2) customs and traditions, 3) language, 4) arts and literature, 5) religion, 6) forms of government, and 7) economic systems. Cultures can change over time due to technology, environmental changes, new ideas, and the diffusion of customs and ideas between cultures. However, it is important to avoid ethnocentrism and racism when analyzing different cultures.

This document summarizes a study exploring how traditional ecological knowledge, practices, and beliefs in Avu Lagoon, Ghana led to the discovery and protection of the sitatunga antelope, a species previously thought to be extinct in Ghana. Interviews with local residents and research in the area found that traditional beliefs and hunting of sitatunga played a role in its scientific discovery. These traditions are now being integrated into the community-led conservation of the species and its habitat. The complexities and benefits of combining traditional and scientific knowledge in conservation are discussed.

This document discusses the importance of preserving indigenous wisdom and traditions in Southeast Asia. It notes that rapid modernization and globalization have threatened many indigenous communities and their knowledge. However, indigenous peoples have valuable lessons to teach about sustainability, agriculture, and viewing nature as integral to human life. The UN aims to promote indigenous peoples and their knowledge. Some examples of indigenous wisdom in Southeast Asia include viewing forests as essential homes tied to ancestry, and prioritizing compromise and consensus to resolve conflicts. Efforts are needed to perpetuate indigenous traditions and pass them to new generations.

The document discusses how the Ifugao people of the Philippines have adapted their farming practices and livelihoods to cope with climate change impacts like floods, droughts, and forest fires. It notes that their traditional beliefs, as expressed through songs, dances, poems, and rituals, have guided their adaptations. For example, the Ifugao see gods and spirits as influencing the natural environment, and they rely on traits like courage, artistry, and community to manage their environment and plan for survival. The document recommends that beneficial Ifugao beliefs and practices be preserved, ecological wisdom be more widely adopted, and that projects support indigenous knowledge and reduce overly-conservative beliefs.

Ir helmi out on a limb
Local communities in Indonesia's Lore Lindu National Park are well-placed to develop detailed zoning plans for the park through participatory planning. The Ngata Toro indigenous community within the park has worked with outside support to document their local knowledge and traditions, and to map their interactions with the landscape. This informed a participatory planning process to manage ecosystems in a way that combines modern conservation, traditional practices, and high local involvement. Recognizing Ngata Toro's lands and knowledge has given them access to resources while establishing a new institution for women's roles in decisions. Their pre-existing zoning system demonstrates how local communities can effectively manage resources when local wisdom, needs, traditions and rights shape natural resource governance at a fine scale.

This document discusses Filipino indigenous knowledge and its importance. It provides examples of indigenous knowledge practices like farming, fishing, and seaweed farming among Filipino ethnic groups. These knowledge systems are passed down orally but are declining as young people lose interest. Indigenous knowledge refers to understanding and skills developed by societies through long interaction with their environments to inform daily life. While some practices like slash-and-burn farming can be disadvantageous, indigenous fishing methods are often environmentally friendly. The document argues that including indigenous knowledge in science education can help raise cultural awareness and provide non-academic perspectives to solve environmental and social problems.

Community-based Eco-tourism project by Pelachor
This business plan proposes the development of sustainable agri-ecotourism in the indigenous community of Rioblanquito, Colombia. The plan is being developed by the Foundation of Professional Young People and Students from Sotara, led by Jose Miguel Palechor. The community has natural, historical, and agricultural resources that could support ecotourism, including diverse flora and fauna, mountains, forests, rivers, volcanoes, hot springs, and historic sites. The proposed ecotourism activities would include ecological paths, cultural events, hiking to historical places, and education about the local environment, culture, and agriculture. The goal is to protect natural resources while generating tourism and regional economic opportunities.
Biodiversity and its conservation
Biodiversity conservation is important as the Earth is home to millions of plant and animal species. Biodiversity can be conserved through both in-situ and ex-situ methods. In-situ conservation involves protecting habitats and ecosystems within protected areas like national parks, sanctuaries, biosphere reserves, and sacred forests. Ex-situ conservation involves protecting species outside their natural habitats in facilities like seed banks, gene banks, tissue culture banks, zoos, and botanical gardens. With increasing threats from habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict, both in-situ and ex-situ conservation efforts are needed to prevent the extinction of endangered species and maintain Earth's biodiversity.
Kenyan Tourism Industry
The document discusses how land use changes can affect turbidity levels in receiving waters. Agricultural activities like crop production and cattle operations can increase nonpoint pollution and contaminate nearby water through surface runoff and erosion. Areas with annual crops and minimal vegetation cover, such as recently tilled fields in spring, tend to have higher turbidity due to increased runoff and erosion. Wetlands, while effective at removing bacteria, can also increase turbidity by acting as biofilters. Turbidity levels are negatively correlated with forested areas but positively correlated with annual crop coverage and urban land use.
FNPW and Preserving Planet Earth
The Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife (FNPW) aims to preserve Australia's natural heritage through conservation projects and environmental education.

Sithabile preparing south african teachers final
The document discusses the WITS School of Education's efforts to prepare South African teachers for ICT integration through a "just in time" approach. Previously, less than 50% of lecturers used ICT in teaching and student work was not required to be digital. Now, the EDIT division is drafting an ICT use policy and working with New Literacies to develop strategies integrating ICT across courses. New Literacy modules teach digital literacy and require students to use technology like importing images and analyzing websites. This has improved student literacy and created communities of practice as a model for the school. The goal is to contribute to a technologically literate society by training teachers for ICT integration through practical, timely skills rather than theoretical training.

This document analyzes factors influencing differences in ICT usage between male and female teachers in Kenya and Uganda. The study found that younger teachers and male teachers used ICT more than older teachers and female teachers. Subjects like sciences where ICT is used more are dominated by male teachers. Fewer female teachers received continuing professional training. Socio-cultural factors like household responsibilities and limited income contributed to lower ICT use among female teachers. The study concluded that structural gender inequalities in society and education systems have led to unintended disparities in ICT use between male and female teachers.

Assessment and Planning in Educational technology.pptx
In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
