Class 7 environment
This document provides an overview of the environment and its components. It aims to help students understand the environment, appreciate its diversity, and develop a sensitivity towards conservation. The environment has three main components - the natural, human, and human-made environments. The natural environment consists of biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) factors, including the lithosphere (rocks and soil), hydrosphere (water), atmosphere (air), and biosphere (living things). Ecosystems form from the interactions between all living things and their surroundings within these natural domains. Humans interact with and modify the environment to grow crops, domesticate animals, and develop technologies.
Environment 1
The document defines and describes the components of the environment. It states that the environment is made up of natural and human-made elements. The natural environment includes the lithosphere (land), hydrosphere (water), atmosphere (air), and biosphere (living things). It then describes each of these components in more detail. The document also discusses ecosystems as systems formed by the interaction of living organisms and physical factors. Finally, it notes that humans interact with and modify the environment to meet their needs through activities like agriculture and industry.

Bio-resources & Natural resources
Resources are anything that has utility and adds value to your life. Air, water, food, plants, animals, minerals, metals, and everything else that exists in nature and has utility to mankind is a ‘Resource’. The value of each such resource depends on its utility and other factors, e.g. metals are gold, silver, copper or bronze have economic value; i.e. they can be exchanged for money. Mountains, rivers, sea or forests are also resources but they do not have economic value. The given presentation briefly explants about the classification and availability of bio-resources and natural resources( mainly emphasizing on Indian natural and bio-resources) and also describes about bioproducts or green products.

Bras D'or Lakes Biosphere Reserve
The document discusses the Bras d'Or Lake Biosphere Reserve in Nova Scotia, Canada. A biosphere reserve is an area recognized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) that balances human activities with biodiversity conservation. It aims to foster sustainable development through research, capacity building, and education. The Bras d'Or Lake region is working to gain biosphere reserve status, which would provide international recognition and support sustainable practices in the area. A nomination document is being prepared to show how the region meets UNESCO's criteria.
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.
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.

Wetlands Of Nepal By Karki And Chhetri
Nepal has many globally significant wetland ecosystems that provide ecological, economic, cultural, and recreational value. However, wetlands are being degraded and destroyed by natural succession, pollution, dams, overexploitation, siltation, and population growth. A lack of awareness, effective policy, responsible institutions, and clear ownership has exacerbated these threats. A conservation plan is needed to protect wetlands through stronger national support, protected area management, conservation of unprotected wetlands, and clear institutional roles for wetland governance.

It covers topics like deforestation, consequences of deforestation, ways to conserve forests and wildlife through reserves, biosphere reserves, national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, flora and fauna, endemic species, endangered animals, ecosystems, migration, recycling of paper, and reforestation. Deforestation is clearing forests for other uses and has consequences like increased temperatures and pollution, lowered water levels, and soil erosion. Forests and wildlife can be conserved by establishing protected areas like biosphere reserves, national parks, and wildlife sanctuaries.
Geography 7 cg ch 1pdf
The document discusses the natural environment and how human beings modify it. It defines the environment as our basic life support system that provides air, water, food and land. It then gives examples of how human activities like driving cars, collecting water, using containers for food, and building factories impact the natural environment. Finally, it defines an ecosystem as a system formed by the interaction of living organisms with each other and their physical surroundings, with the transfer of energy and material between them.
Wildlife Corridors
Wildlife corridors are areas of habitat that connect separate areas of similar habitat and allow animal movement and gene flow between populations. They are important for maintaining biodiversity as they help counteract the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation. Effective corridors should be wide and maintain natural vegetation and habitat. They enable species migration and support genetic diversity. Management aims to enhance habitat quality and protect ecological processes within corridors. The Siju-Rewak Corridor in India links two protected areas and preserves an important elephant crossing point along the Simsang River.

1) The document evaluates the management effectiveness of the National Natural Park Rosario and San Bernardo Corals marine protected area in Colombia using biological, socioeconomic, and governance indicators.
2) Biological surveys found low coral cover and fish diversity/abundance both inside and outside the MPA, suggesting limited effectiveness of current management. The reefs also showed signs of degradation.
3) Socioeconomic and governance analyses revealed low incomes for local communities, few opportunities, weak governance, and overexploitation of resources inside the MPA. This reflected low adaptive capacity to comply with conservation rules.
Environmental Initiatives
The document summarizes the Transportation Corridor Agencies' environmental initiatives over the past 25 years. Some key efforts include establishing over 2,000 acres of protected habitat and open space, contributing funding and land to establish the Natural Communities Conservation Plan which protects over 37,000 acres, restoring coastal sage scrub habitat on a closed landfill to support endangered species, restoring a drainage ditch into thriving wetlands providing habitat for protected species, monitoring wildlife using motion cameras and GPS trackers to improve undercrossings and ensure safe passage, and constructing undercrossings under the toll roads to allow wildlife to cross without interruption of their natural habitat corridors.
biodiverisity conservation ppt pragati
Biodiversity conservation involves protecting ecosystems, habitats, and species. It aims to maintain viable populations of all native species and their genetic diversity. Key methods for biodiversity conservation include protected areas like national parks, sanctuaries, biosphere reserves, and marine protected areas. Laws like the Wildlife Protection Act (1972) and the Biological Diversity Act (2002) support conservation efforts in India. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) also regulates global trade in threatened species.

The Fresh Kills Landfill in Staten Island was once the largest landfill in the world but closed in 2001 due to environmental problems and local opposition. It is now being redeveloped into a public park over 30 years, with landfill containment and gas collection systems to ensure safety. The new 3,200-acre Freshkills Park will have recreational areas when completed.
Biodiversity and conservation
This document provides information about biodiversity and conservation efforts. It includes:
1) Definitions of biodiversity as the diversity of species, ecosystems, and genes on Earth.
2) Statistics on the number of known plant and animal species, with insects making up the majority.
3) Descriptions of methods for conserving biodiversity both in situ, through protected areas like biosphere reserves and national parks, and ex situ in botanical gardens and seed banks.
4) Explanations of the importance of biodiversity through its ecological services and direct economic benefits to humans. Several Indian and international policies and agreements aimed at protecting biodiversity are also outlined.
A field report on the Nijhum Dwip, Hatiya Island
The document summarizes a field trip conducted by oceanography students to Nijhum Dwip island. The objectives of the trip were to learn field study techniques, collect samples of plants, soil, water and plankton, and assess water quality parameters and the socioeconomic conditions of local communities. During the trip, students assessed intertidal plant communities, collected phytoplankton and zooplankton samples, measured water quality, and learned sampling methods. The island was described as having diverse and productive ecosystems important for fisheries and declared as a national park and marine protected area.
Redwood Ancient Forest Protecting and Restoring Marbled Murrelet Habitat
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Environmental Contaminants Program is protecting over 6,000 acres of marbled murrelet habitat in California, Oregon, and Washington that has been impacted by several oil spills since 1986. Through the Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration process, the program has obtained settlements to fund restoration projects that include acquiring and protecting old growth forest nesting habitat, reducing nest predation by improving garbage management in campgrounds, and establishing conservation easements. These restoration efforts are helping to recover populations of marbled murrelets and other affected species.
Mangrove Restoration to Advance Climate Solutions
The document discusses the challenges of preserving and restoring mangrove forests. It notes that mangroves are being lost due to conversion to shrimp farms and agriculture, harvesting for firewood, coastal development, and waste dumping. This has resulted in a 50% loss of global mangroves over 50 years. Mangrove restoration is difficult as it aims to approximate original ecosystems and their services. Community participation is important for reclaiming ecological and economic benefits of mangroves. Monitoring is also needed to ensure sustainability of restoration efforts.
Research of the biodiversity of Tovacov lakes by Jan Ševčík (Czech Republic)
Research of the biodiversity of Tovacov lakes by Jan Ševčík (Czech Republic)Quarry Life Award by HeidelbergCement
The biological survey of the Tovacov lakes area found 554 plant species, 107 spider species, 27 dragonfly species, 111 butterfly species, 282 beetle species, 17 orthopteran species, and 7 amphibian species. Rare species were found particularly in humid and dry open habitats and coastal lake zones. Technically recultivated sites became species-homogeneous quickly while spontaneously succeeding sites remained species-rich during development. To maintain biological diversity, appropriate management was suggested for the most valuable areas.Biodiversity conservation
This document discusses biodiversity conservation strategies in India. It outlines in-situ conservation methods like protecting habitats in national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, biosphere reserves, and tiger reserves. Ex-situ conservation methods include botanical gardens and gene banks. The key objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity are the conservation of biodiversity, sustainable use of its components, and fair sharing of benefits from genetic resources.

The Integrating Water, Land and Ecosystems Management in Caribbean Small Island Developing States (IWEco) project aims to preserve Caribbean ecosystems and livelihoods through improved water resource management, sustainable land management, and sustainable forest management. The project involves 8 countries and focuses on enhancing biodiversity in key sites through activities like reforestation, controlling invasive species, and habitat rehabilitation. Highlights from the project in different countries include restoring the Negril Great Morass wetland in Jamaica, reforesting watersheds in Cuba, and training community members in Trinidad and Tobago to rehabilitate degraded quarry sites.
Schenectady bioremediation project (nx power lite)
Ecoimagination Park aims to transform a former industrial site in Schenectady, New York into a nature park and tourism destination focused on sustainability. The park would feature educational exhibits on human use of resources over time and house small green businesses. By reclaiming the polluted land and promoting environmentalism, the park could boost the local economy through ecotourism and improve Schenectady's reputation. Case studies on similar reclamation projects in other places demonstrate how degraded lands can be restored through careful revegetation and creation of suitable wildlife habitats.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

The Grand Canyon
- 1. Grand Canyon National Park By Ashkan Shahsavar Haghighi
- 2. The Grand Canyon The Grand Canyon
- 3. Criteria (1) (vii): Widely known for its exceptional natural beauty and considered one of the world's most visually powerful landscapes. (viii): Within park boundaries, the geologic record spans all four eras of the earth's evolutionary history, from the Precambrian to the Cenozoic.
- 4. Criteria(2) (ix): Grand Canyon is an exceptional example of biological environments at different elevations that evolved as the river cut deeper portraying five of North America’s seven life zones within canyon walls. (x):The park’s diverse topography has resulted in equally diverse ecosystems.The five life zones within the canyon are represented in a remarkably small geographic area.
- 5. Plant life found in the Grand Canyon National Park 1,737 known species of vascular plants 167 species of fungi 64 species of moss 195 species of lichen
- 7. Threats to the site: The introduction of non-native plant and animal species into the park, which compete with native flora and fauna. Air pollution created by burning fossil fuels, drifts into the canyon from metropolitan areas and nearby coal powered plants, affecting the visibility and air quality of the park. The faeces of cattle and human waste have polluted some streams.
- 8. What is being done: Park scientists have developed pest management techniques to eradicate and relocate non-native and pest species. A nearby coal-fired power plant has installed scrubbers in smoke stacks to reduce air pollution. Fences have been erected along the park boundaries to keep out cattle and hikers. Special no flight zones have been created to limit noise pollution. Controlled burn-offs are used to restore forest landscapes and reduce wildfire hazards.
- 9. Management of the Grand Canyon National Park: The National Parks Service (NPS), which is a branch of the USA federal government, manages the Grand Canyon National Park . NPS are responsible for preserving the natural and cultural sites of the park, protecting the wildlife and native fauna and regulate and monitor the public use and enjoyment of the park. The NPS works together with other non-profit agencies to fund restoration, preservation and protection of the park's scenery, natural areas and wildlife.
