Deforestation is the removal of forests to convert the land to non-forest uses like farms, ranches, or urban development. Pollution is the introduction of contaminants like chemicals, noise, heat, or light into the natural environment that cause harm. This document lists 317 mammal species in Ecuador, including 2 critically endangered species, 10 endangered species, 23 vulnerable species, and 7 near-threatened species, as well as 2 extinct species.
Enviromental sanitation
The document discusses several ways to protect the environment in 3 sentences or less:
Reduce pollution and contaminants by eliminating pesticide use, conserving energy and water, and properly disposing of household waste. Recycle and reuse materials when possible, and support renewable energy and reforestation efforts. The passages call on people to help address issues like global warming, wildlife conservation, soil erosion, and livestock waste by adopting more sustainable practices.
Andre leu ifoam--agroecology
1) Regenerative agricultural practices like organic farming, agroecology, and agroforestry can draw CO2 out of the atmosphere and store it in soil, providing a natural solution to climate change.
2) Studies show these practices can sequester enough carbon within a decade to reverse current CO2 levels and limit global temperature rise to within 2 degrees Celsius.
3) Organic systems are more resilient during droughts and other weather extremes, maintaining or increasing yields where conventional agriculture suffers, demonstrating an ability to adapt to climate change impacts.

Deforestation
Deforestation involves cutting down trees to clear land for farming, mining, roads, and grazing cattle. This increases atmospheric CO2 levels and contributes to global warming. The effects of deforestation include desertification, climatic changes, flooding, insect plagues, impacts to agriculture, and fuel use as trees no longer absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. Deforestation has also negatively impacted populations, caused extinction and loss of biodiversity, and historically contributed to events like the Dust Bowl in the United States.
Technology will destroy our planet-Shana Ankersmit
The document discusses how human-caused global warming is increasing wildfire risks by raising temperatures and altering weather patterns. It notes that the U.S. emits high levels of greenhouse gases, fueling more frequent and intense forest fires. While fires can benefit forests in some ways, climate change is causing fires to burn more severely and destructively. The increasing wildfire threat demonstrates the urgent need to curb carbon pollution and limit global warming to safer levels.
Uses of natural resources.
This document discusses renewable and non-renewable natural resources. Renewable resources like water, air, plants and animals can regenerate themselves with time, while non-renewable resources like coal and oil take millions of years to form and are being used up. The document emphasizes the importance of conserving natural resources and using them sustainably so they can continue supporting life on Earth.

Point source pollution comes from a known location, while nonpoint source pollution does not have a specific origin. Runoff is water that flows over land rather than seeping into the ground. Global warming is an increase in average temperatures due to increased carbon dioxide levels. Fresh water is a vital resource because people use it for drinking, cooking, bathing, and growing food. The chemical composition of the atmosphere helps maintain life on Earth. Earth's important land resources include soil, forests, and mineral and energy sources.
RAINFOREST
Global warming is causing rising temperatures and changes in weather patterns that threaten rainforests and the species that inhabit them. As the climate changes, rainforests are expected to experience higher temperatures, more extreme weather, and changing rainfall patterns. This can destroy habitats and cause many plants and animals to become extinct as they are unable to adapt to the new conditions. Conservation efforts are needed to help protect vulnerable species and preserve these important ecosystems.
NLI 2018 Kenya - Team
This document discusses deforestation in Kenya. It defines deforestation as cutting down trees without planting new ones. The main causes of deforestation in Kenya are mining, settlement, paper production, logging, and producing fuel. Deforestation leads to increased soil erosion, changes in water shade, desertification, landslides, pollution, and loss of habitat. The document recommends educating people, using renewable fuels, encouraging tree planting, and government regulation of logging and settlement in forests as solutions. Statistics show that Kenya loses 5.6 million trees daily, reducing its forest cover from 70% to the current 30%.

This document contains the answer sheet for the Grade 11 Summative Exam from September 2012 in Earth Systems Science (ESS). It provides the answers to multiple choice and written response questions on topics including: the water cycle, greenhouse gases, feedback mechanisms in ecosystems, energy transformations, and impacts of climate change on mountain ecosystems. The answer sheet includes explanations and workings for full marks on the questions.
Recycling
Recycling involves processing used materials to create new products in order to protect the environment, conserve resources, and save money. If current waste generation patterns continue, each individual will have created 90,000 pounds of trash in their lifetime. Recycling programs aim to reduce waste by recycling materials like paper, glass, metals and plastics.
Wildfires
Wildfires are uncontrolled fires that occur in rural or wilderness areas. They differ from other fires in their size, speed of spreading, and ability to change direction unexpectedly or jump gaps. While wildfires can cause extensive property damage and loss of human life, they also benefit wilderness areas. The factors that influence wildfire behavior include the type of fuel available. The worst wildfire season on record was 2000, when over 8 million acres burned. Trees can explode from steam produced when heated water turns to vapor rapidly. Ground fires burn below the surface in organic soil materials. Over 1.4 million acres burn annually in the U.S., and being prepared with fire prevention gels, food, water, and living on high ground can increase

Conservation of plants and animals
Deforestation is clearing forests for other land uses like agriculture, housing, and industry which causes environmental issues. It increases temperatures and carbon dioxide leading to global warming, lowers groundwater levels, and disturbs the natural balance. With fewer trees, less carbon dioxide is used, increasing amounts in the atmosphere and disturbing the water cycle which can lead to droughts. Removing topsoil exposes less fertile lower layers, causing desertification. Conservation efforts include biosphere reserves, national parks, and wildlife sanctuaries which protect biodiversity and wildlife habitats.
Conservation of wildlife and Forest (Class 8)
Deforestation involves clearing forests to use the land for other purposes like cultivation, construction, and fuel. This causes increased temperatures and pollution, higher carbon dioxide levels leading to global warming, reduced rainfall and water levels, and soil erosion. Forests and wildlife can be conserved by establishing biosphere reserves, national parks, and wildlife sanctuaries to protect natural habitats.
Grade 11 summative feburary 2013-answer
This document contains a summary of a student's exam on environmental systems and societies from February 2013. It includes 4 questions on topics like biomass, net primary productivity, ecosystem structure and function, and human impacts. Question 1 defines biomass and describes methods to estimate total biomass. Question 2 asks about factors influencing biomass and NPP in different biomes. Question 3 defines ecological terms like ecosystem and discusses matter flows. Question 4 examines trophic efficiency and impacts of CFCs, acid deposition, and global warming on NPP.
Effect of climate change on biodiversity and ecosystems
Climate change is causing problems like loss of glaciers, decreased ocean salinity, and changes to ocean currents and habitats. Warmer temperatures allow pine beetles to survive winter and devastate forests, while increased sea temperatures can cause coral bleaching and ecosystem death due to lack of coral. Decreased salinity ruins habitats and causes species die-offs. Ecologically rich areas like the Great Barrier Reef and Wet Tropics of Australia and New Zealand are at serious risk of biodiversity loss due to extreme weather. Once affected, coral reefs and tropical areas can take a long time to recover and may lose many species. Humans rely on surrounding ecosystems for agriculture and survival, and climate change threatens food webs and
Impact and responses phytoplankton on cc lastver
This document discusses the impacts of climate change on plankton. It begins by defining plankton and their important roles in the marine environment and food chain. Phytoplankton produce an estimated 90% of oxygen and are the base of the marine food web, supporting fisheries. However, increasing water temperatures affect phytoplankton growth rates and distributions. Analysis shows many tropical plankton strains may go extinct by 2100 if temperatures rise 2°C, though diversity may prevent species losses. Warmer oceans will increase plankton diversity at poles but decrease it at the equator.
Types of ecosystem
An ecosystem consists of the biological community and abiotic environment in a specific locale. There are three major classes of ecosystems: freshwater, terrestrial, and ocean. Terrestrial ecosystems include seven major types that vary based on location and precipitation levels, such as tropical rainforests, savannas, deserts, temperate grasslands, deciduous forests, coniferous forests, and tundra. Oceans cover most of the Earth and contain shallow ocean waters, deep ocean waters, and deep ocean surface ecosystems.

This document is a presentation from students in Greece on the topics of climate change, global warming, melting ice, air pollution, and water pollution. It discusses how climate change refers to changes in global climate and weather patterns. It describes how global warming is causing average temperatures to rise, melting ice at an increased rate, and impacting wildlife, ecosystems, and indigenous communities. It also addresses how rising temperatures exacerbate air pollution issues like smog, and how Greeks are facing health risks from using cheaper fuels for heat. Finally, it covers how water pollution from sources like agriculture, sewage, and industry contaminates drinking water and harms both human and environmental health globally.
Climate Impacts
This document discusses the impacts of climate change on various ecosystems. Wetlands and coastal marshes will see habitat loss which disrupts plants and migratory birds. Forests worldwide will see changes to plant life as temperatures rise and dry out tropical forests and bring more plagues to boreal forests. The Arctic forest is thawing and its extension changing. Low-lying islands face land loss and people being displaced from their homes. Deserts are expanding in area. Coral reefs risk bleaching as temperatures rise in the oceans.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
