Nature reserves work to protect wildlife and environments by conserving natural resources. While early humans used resources like wood sustainably, modern usage rates are alarming and unsustainable unless replaced. If deforestation and resource depletion continue, shortages will result with loss of ecosystems. Conservation through sparing usage and alternative energies can lessen impacts on dwindling resources. Russia has over 100 nature reserves established to preserve 1.4% of its land and wildlife. Collective conservation efforts are needed to protect natural resources for the future.
This document discusses scheduled communication features for Windows Phone, including a problem of people forgetting to send messages and being unable to set messages for future times. It proposes a solution using scheduled messages on Windows Phone and notes the secret sauce would include grouping messages, an intuitive Metro UI, and multiple modes of communication. It also briefly mentions competition and areas for potential future improvements like using WCF for email and improving the backend design.

Un padre llevó a su hijo a una granja campesina humilde para que viera lo pobres que eran las personas del campo. Al regresar a casa, el hijo le dijo a su padre que a pesar de que los campesinos tenían menos cosas materiales, ellos eran más ricos porque tenían tiempo para estar en familia y apreciar las pequeñas cosas como las estrellas y el paisaje. El hijo aprendió que en la vida hay cosas más valiosas que el dinero y las posesiones.
