The four species of sea turtles found in Malaysia are the green turtle, hawksbill turtle, loggerhead turtle, and leatherback turtle. The green turtle is the most abundant in Malaysia and gets its name from its fatty tissue rather than its shell. It is the only adult herbivorous sea turtle that feeds on sea grass. The hawksbill turtle lives on coral reefs, eats sponges, and is hunted for its beautiful shell. The loggerhead turtle is the most abundant globally but rare in Malaysia, nesting in large numbers and eating crustaceans, molluscs and jellyfish. The leatherback turtle is the largest, eats jellyfish, has seven ridges on its back, and can dive

Today there are two families, one containing the leatherback turtle and the other containing six hard-shelled species like the loggerhead and green sea turtle. Most species are threatened by overharvesting, accidental fishing captures, and habitat loss. Conservation efforts include using turtle excluder devices and modifying fishing gear.
Sea turtles powerpoint
Sea turtles face numerous threats including predation, destruction of nesting habitats, accidental drowning in fishing gear, ingestion of plastic debris, disorientation from artificial lighting, and being hit by boats. There are 8 species of sea turtles that can be found in the waters around Long Island, many of which are endangered or threatened. Sea turtles return to the beaches where they were born every few years to lay their eggs.
Animal species in the Rainforests Philippines biodiversity and speciation
Tropical rainforests exhibit a vast diversity of plant and animal species. Theories for why the tropics are so diverse include interspecific competition over limited resources leading species to find new niches or become extinct, as well as niche partitioning where species utilize different habitats, foods, behaviors to separate resource use. The document then provides details on many animal species endemic to the Philippines including the Philippine eagle, Draco lizards, Mindoro stripe-faced fruit bat, Palawan bearded pig, and others. It describes their key identifying characteristics and conservation status.

Turtle Powerpoint!
Turtles come in many different species, with some as large as 4-8 feet long. Many turtle species are endangered or extinct due to human activities like hunting and habitat destruction. Turtles lay their eggs on land, and the temperature determines gender for some species, with warmer weather producing more females. Global warming threatens turtles by producing only female hatchlings as rising temperatures prevent males from being born.
Sea Turtle Fact Sheet
There are seven species and one subspecies of sea turtles recognized by scientists. The largest, the leatherback, can reach over 6 feet and weigh over 1,000 pounds. Sea turtles either live throughout tropical waters globally or in specific areas like the Kemp's ridley which lives in the Gulf of Mexico. Males remain at sea while females only come ashore to lay their eggs before returning to the ocean, and all species except one are now listed as threatened or endangered.

Cnidaria are aquatic animals that include jellyfish, corals, sea anemones and hydroids. They are divided into five classes based on their characteristics and abilities. Cnidaria live mainly in oceans but some inhabit freshwater lakes and rivers. They feed on plankton and small organisms using stinging tentacles coated with cnidocytes. Their predators include fish, turtles, starfish and marine slugs. A key feature is their radial symmetry and use of cnidocytes in tentacles for defense and capturing prey.
Animals In Danger
The document discusses 6 animals that are endangered: the Indian tiger, gorilla, koala, bald eagle, scarlet macaw, and giant panda. It provides basic facts about where each animal lives, what it eats, its physical description, and the main threats to its survival, which in most cases is habitat destruction and hunting. The purpose is to teach English language learners about endangered animals and their conservation through identifying, describing, and asking/answering questions about different species and their characteristics.
Green sea turtle
Green sea turtles are large sea turtles found in tropical and subtropical oceans around the world. They have a dorsoventrally flattened body and paddle-like flippers adapted for swimming. Adults typically inhabit shallow lagoons and feed on sea grasses. Throughout their life, green sea turtles inhabit different habitats - they lay eggs on beaches, spend their early years in open ocean waters, and mature in coastal areas with sea grass beds. Major threats include hunting, accidental capture in fishing gear, pollution, habitat destruction, and infectious diseases. Conservation efforts include protecting nesting beaches and reducing accidental turtle captures.
Sea turtle
Sea turtles are reptiles that inhabit tropical and subtropical oceans around the world. They are well-adapted for marine life but females return to beaches to lay eggs. There are 7 main species of sea turtles that differ in size, diet, and habitat preferences. Sea turtles face many threats including light pollution, plastic pollution, fishing, climate change, and disease. Conservation efforts are needed to protect vulnerable sea turtle populations.

Help Protect Sea Turtles! Six of seven species of sea turtles around the world are endangered or threatened but there are many ways that anyone can help.
Markhor
The markhor is a species of wild goat found in northeastern Afghanistan, northern and central Pakistan, India, southern Tajikistan, eastern Turkmenistan, southern Uzbekistan, and the Himalayas. It inhabits mountainous scrub forest habitats between 600-3,600 meters in elevation. The largest threats to markhor are poaching for its valuable horns and habitat loss. Conservation efforts include establishing reserves in Tajikistan and regulating trophy hunting in Pakistan to support local communities while protecting the species. The markhor population is currently estimated at around 5,800 individuals.
Flora & fauna
India has a high level of biodiversity with over 47,000 plant species and 81,000 animal species, though deforestation threatens many. Nearly 1500 plant species and over 100 animal species are endangered or vulnerable in India due to habitat loss from development, mining, overgrazing, pollution, and fires. The forest cover of India is only 19.39% of its area, below the required 33%. Conservation efforts include wildlife protection laws, banning hunting and poaching, and community-led conservation projects.

Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptx
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.

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.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Sea turtles in malaysia & threats
- 1. Can you name the four species of sea turtles found in Malaysia?
- 2. • Most abundant sea turtle in Malaysia •Named for the greenish colour of its fat (not its shell). •Only adult herbivorous sea turtle (feed on sea grass)
- 3. • Lives on coral reefs • Eats sponges • Their beautiful shell means they are hunted to make ornaments
- 4. • The most abundant sea turtle in the world (but rare in Malaysia). • Nest in vast numbers - “Arribada”. • Eats mostly crustaceans, molluscs and jellyfish.
- 5. • Largest sea turtle species (2-3 metres) • Eats jelly fish • Has 7 ridges down its back • Can dive to over 1000m down!
- 13. 1. Respect turtles from a distance 2. Dispose of waste properly 3. Reduce usage of plastic 4. Spread the word! WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Editor's Notes
- Bycatch through long lining and other fishing methods. Ghost fishing. Sea turtles can drown
- Pollution. Oil pollution and various chemical pollutions, sewage pollution
- Sea turtle egg harvesting and consumption - a key threat to sea turtles in Malaysia
- Light pollution from irresponsible tourist developments
- Tourists coming close to sea turtles. Flash photography. Being close to sea turtles on the beach. Holding on or swimming close to sea turtles causes them stress.
- Plastic pollution.
