Ecologically Sustainable Development
Ecologically sustainable development involves meeting human needs while maintaining or enhancing natural ecosystems. It requires using resources efficiently and producing less waste. Tools to achieve ESD include life cycle analysis, environmental impact assessments, and environmental management systems. An EMS establishes procedures to manage environmental impacts and continually improve performance. ISO 14001 provides standards for EMS certification. Risk assessment, the precautionary principle, and regulatory frameworks also support ecologically sustainable development.
Population Viability Analysis and Responses to Loss
Risk assessment for species extinction involves estimating the probability of a species becoming extinct based on data like habitat reduction percentages or lack of specimen collection. The precautionary principle is applied when risks are uncertain and involves preventative action, public participation, and alternative exploration. Population viability analysis (PVA) links management decisions to population trends and extinction risk, considering factors like demographics and habitat. International agreements like the Convention on Biological Diversity, CITES, RAMSAR, and JAMBA/CAMBA aim to protect biodiversity through cooperation, permitting, and prohibiting trade of endangered species.
Habitats, Environment and Survival
1. A community consists of interacting organisms living in a habitat, while an ecosystem includes both living organisms and their physical environment.
2. An ecosystem can be small or large and is largely self-sustaining, with organisms finding essential requirements like light, temperature, gases and nutrients within their niche or habitat.
3. Soils contain various particle sizes along with nutrients and humus, which helps hold soil together and create pore spaces for aeration.
Eastern Barred Bandicoot - student presentation
The Eastern Barred Bandicoot is an endangered small marsupial found in parts of Australia. It has faced major habitat loss and introduced predators that have reduced its population. Conservation efforts include captive breeding programs to increase numbers and reintroduce the species, as well as monitoring threats and protecting habitat. While strategies are working to reduce threats, continued conservation management is needed to prevent the Eastern Barred Bandicoot from going extinct.
Eastern Barred Bandicoot - student presentation
The Eastern Barred Bandicoot is a small, threatened marsupial native to southeastern Australia. It has suffered a catastrophic decline due to habitat loss, introduced predators like foxes and cats, and its small population size. Conservation efforts include captive breeding programs, reintroductions to fenced areas, and ongoing fox control. The population at Hamilton Community Parklands is currently stable at 50-80 individuals after upgrades to fox-proof fencing and additional reintroductions.
Behaviours for survival
1) Behavioural adaptations are actions that help organisms survive and can be innate or learned. Examples of innate behaviours include breastfeeding in mammals, web-building in spiders, and seasonal migration in response to environmental changes.
2) Innate behaviours are genetically determined and exhibited the same way among all members of a species, such as babies sucking and sleeping. Feeding, communication, territorial displays, and reproductive behaviours are also often innate.
3) Learned behaviours develop through experience, observation, conditioning, or imprinting. Habituation and operant conditioning influence learned behaviours through repeated exposure to stimuli or rewards.

GREEN SUSTAINABLE INTERIOR
Green building design aims to minimize environmental impact and improve occupant health. It incorporates sustainable site design, energy and water efficiency, materials selection, indoor environmental quality, and orientation for solar gain. Benefits include reduced operating costs, improved air quality, and increased occupant well-being and productivity. Common characteristics are use of renewable materials and energy, water and waste reduction strategies, and high-performance building envelopes.
What is a green and healthy home
A green and healthy home is one that is sustainable, energy efficient, built with non-toxic and renewable materials, takes advantage of natural light and orientation, and supports the well-being of its occupants. It considers location, renewable energy sources, water conservation, indoor air quality, non-toxic materials and finishes, and electromagnetic fields.
Sustainable architecture
Sustainable architecture seeks to minimize environmental impact through efficient and moderate use of materials, energy, and space. It incorporates passive solar design principles like thermal mass, insulation, and solar shading to reduce energy needs. Sustainable building materials include recycled, renewable, and local resources that have low embodied energy. Orientation, insulation, and passive solar strategies help maximize building energy efficiency.
Sustainable housing
Sustainable housing aims to be healthy, durable, safe, affordable, and environmentally friendly. It uses efficient and renewable materials, connects to utilities efficiently, and minimizes pollution and energy usage. Sustainable design considers location, indoor quality, materials, energy usage, and innovation. Passive solar features like orientation, daylighting, and ventilation help harness the sun's energy. Using recycled materials, compact designs, and earth sheltering can boost efficiency and lessen environmental impact. While upfront costs may be higher, sustainable housing saves on utilities and maintenance over time.
Bioregionalism
The document discusses 6 main areas of focus for sustainable living: shelter, water, food, energy, infrastructure, and environmental conservation. For shelter, it recommends using renewable materials, smaller sizes, and planning around the environment. For water, it suggests rain barrels, solar showers, xeric landscaping, and cisterns. For food, it promotes local and community-supported agriculture. For energy, it discusses solar, wind, and bike generators. For infrastructure, it discusses sustainable roads and reducing waste. For environmental conservation, it recommends native plant restoration and limiting development.
Eco plaza
The document discusses several green building strategies and materials that are more environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional construction practices. Some of the strategies mentioned include using recycled and sustainable materials for insulation, paints, tiles and furniture to reduce environmental impacts. Installing green roofs is also highlighted as a way to reduce stormwater runoff and energy costs. The document advocates considering the entire lifecycle of materials from sourcing to disposal to promote recycling and sustainability in the building industry.
Environmental protection group5
Solar panels, national parks, and wind farms provide renewable energy sources that help protect the environment by reducing reliance on non-renewable resources. Recycling garbage and using reusable bags and pouches instead of plastic bags keeps waste out of oceans and landfills. Many restaurants are now offering paper straws and cups to reduce plastic waste.
Sustainability
Building orientation and sustainable materials are important considerations for sustainable building design. Orienting a building to maximize daylighting and solar heating can significantly reduce its energy usage. Bamboo, cork, recycled wood/metal, precast concrete, and sheep's wool insulation are some sustainable material options. Proper site analysis including sun path diagrams early in the design process helps inform building orientation and material selection.

Earth Homes- eamapct PDF.pdf
Earth homes use natural and sustainable building materials like soil, wood, and straw that have lower embodied carbon than traditional materials like concrete and steel. Different earth construction techniques are suited to different climates, with adobe and rammed earth working well in dry areas and earth-sheltered designs providing temperature regulation in cold climates. Proper design and use of local materials can allow earth homes to withstand various climate risks, but they may require additional insulation or barriers in very wet or cold areas compared to the original techniques.
