Biomes:
Biomes are the areas with different climate on earth, biomes have different communities of plants, animals, and soil organisms and biomes are also related to ecosystem. There earth area is divided into six major biomes.
1. Tundra
2. Coniferous forest
3. Grassland
4. desert
5. Deciduous forest
6. Tropical rain forest
Forests are compound of ecosystems that are very important to the carbon and water cycles that sustain life on earth.
Introduction to tropical rain forest:
The tropical rain forests have very tall trees. Tropical rain forests can be found in Asia, Australia, Africa, South America, and Central America, Mexico and on many of the Pacific, Caribbean, and Indian Ocean islands. Rain forests have wet climate. The temperature in a rain forest rarely gets higher than 34 °C or drops below 20 °C and average humidity is between 77 and 88%. Rainfall is often more than 100 inches a year. There is usually a short season of less rain. Almost all rain forests lie near the equator. Tropical rain forest is very warm and moist all the time and it’s also receives plenty of sunlight because of long trees. Tropical rain forest also produces 40% of earth oxygen. Scientists estimate that more than half of all the world's plant and animal species live in tropical rain forests. If we talked about Southeast Asian rainforests, these forests have four different seasons, winter monsoon, and summer monsoon and inter monsoon.
Climate in tropical rain forest:
There is no dry season in tropical rainforests, and the type of climate is humid. Rainfall in every month is 60 mm. Tropical rainforest have no prominent climate such as summer or winter, because it is typically hot and wet throughout the year. The rain forest has lots of rain because it is very hot and wet and this climate is start near the equator, therefore temperature is hot, and sunlight is also more. Sunlight is direct on land and sea as compare to other land and sea, due to which area is warm, and it can hold a lot of water vapors. When airs goes up its became cools, which means it can hold less water vapor therefore condensation takes place and makes vapor droplets, which results clouds. These resulted clouds produce rain, and sometimes a strong sun also shines between the storms.
Animals in tropical rain forest:
These are the animals present in tropical rain forest.
1. Africa Forest Elephant
2. Chimpanzee
3. Bengal tiger
4. Dawn bat
5. King cobra
6. Chimpanzee
7. Kinkajou
8. Golden lion tamarin
9. Vampire bat
10. Slender Loris
There are so many other animals are also found in tropical rainforest, but I listed above some of them, and also going to explain some of them. One thing is always said, that there is the two species of elephant, but through DNA testing, third species of elephant are also discovered the African elephant. Scientists also found that third species also consisted two various species. This new species is known as loxodonta African

Harnessing nature to protect our communities.
"Natural Defenses in Action" highlights the important role that natural and nature-based approaches can play in reducing the mounting risks to our communities from weather and climate-related natural hazards. The report highlights how properly managed ecosystems and well-designed policies can help reduce disaster risk in ways that are good for both people and nature. "Natural Defenses in Action" profiles a dozen case studies that highlight best-in-class examples of how natural defenses are being put to use to avoid or reduce risks from flooding, coastal storms, erosion, and wildfire. It illustrates that harnessing nature to protect people and property is not just a good idea—it already is being done across the country!
A new report from the National Wildlife Federation looks at how 20 species that depend on a healthy Gulf are faring in the wake of the BP oil spill. The full extent of the spill’s impacts may take years or even decades to unfold, but Five Years & Counting: Gulf Wildlife in the Aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon Disaster examines what the science tells us so far.
Climate change already is having significant impacts on the nation’s species and ecosystems, and these effects are projected to increase considerably over time. As a result, climate change is now a primary lens through which conservation and natural resource management must be viewed. How should we prepare for and respond to the impacts of climate change on wildlife and their habitats? What should we be doing differently in light of these climatic shifts, and what actions continue to make sense? Climate-Smart Conservation: Putting Adaptation Principles into Practice offers guidance for designing and carrying out conservation in the face of a rapidly changing climate.
Addressing the growing threats brought about or accentuated by rapid climate change requires a fundamental shift in the practice of natural resource management and conservation. Traditionally, conservationists have focused their efforts on protecting and managing systems to maintain their current state, or to restore degraded systems back to a historical state regarded as more desirable. Conservation planners and practitioners will need to adopt forward-looking goals and implement strategies specifically designed to prepare for and adjust to current and future climatic changes, and the associated impacts on natural systems and human communities—an emerging discipline known as climate change adaptation.
The field of climate change adaptation is still in its infancy. Although there is increasing attention focused on the subject, much of the guidance developed to date has been general in nature, concentrating on high-level principles rather than specific actions. It is against this backdrop that this guide was prepared as a means for helping put adaptation principles into practice, and for moving adaptation from planning to action.
MAKING CONSERVATION CLIMATE SMART
The fate of our wildlife and wild places depends on steps we take now to prepare for and cope with the growing impacts of a changing climate. While managers traditionally have looked to the past for inspiration, increasingly we will be faced with future conditions that may have no historical analogs.
Although climate adaptation will have costs, the cost of inaction—through continuing with business as usual—is likely to be far higher. Furthermore, the sooner we begin the task of planning for a climate-altered future and taking meaningful adaptation action, the more successful these efforts ultimately will be. It is imperative that natural resource managers begin to act now to prepare for and manage these changes, in order to provide the best chance for cherished conservation values to endure. Putting climate-smart conservation into practice can make a difference for sustaining our nation’s diverse species and ecosystems well into the future. Indeed, protecting our rich conservation legacy depends on our rising to this challenge.
This National Wildlife Federation report details how 14 Gulf wildlife species are faring in the wake of BP's 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil disaster in the Gulf. Since the tragedy, NWF has closely monitored the harm done to wildlife and important habitats in the Gulf and along the coast. Though the full impacts of the oil spill remain unknown, this summarizes what we know so far, and what restoration still needs to be done. http://www.nwf.org/fouryearslater

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
