Wildlife management techniques and methods of wildlife conservationAnish Gawande
Wildlife Conservation is the practice of protecting wild plant and animal species and their habitat. Wildlife plays an important role in balancing the environment and provides stability to different natural processes of nature. The goal of wildlife conservation is to ensure that nature will be around for future generations to enjoy and also to recognize the importance of wildlife and wilderness for humans and other species alike. Many nations have government agencies and NGO's dedicated to wildlife conservation, which help to implement policies designed to protect wildlife. Numerous independent non-profit organizations also promote various wildlife conservation causes.
Wildlife conservation has become an increasingly important practice due to the negative effects of human activity on wildlife. An endangered species is defined as a population of a living species that is in the danger of becoming extinct because the species has a very low or falling population, or because they are threatened by the varying environmental or prepositional parameters.

Conservation of biodiversity is protection, upliftment, and scientific management of biodiversity to maintain it at its threshold level and derive sustainable benefits for the present and future generation.
Very useful for pre university students and those are seriously preparing for CET,AIIMS and NEET exams. Please give your valuable feedback or leave a message. you find it informative like it and share it
Protected areas are those in which human occupation or at least the exploitation of resources is limited.
The definition that has been widely accepted across regional and global frameworks has been provided by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in its categorization guidelines for protected areas.
There are several kinds of protected areas, which vary by level of protection depending on the enabling laws of each country or the regulations of the international organizations involved.
The term "protected area" also includes
Marine Protected Areas, the boundaries of which will include some area of ocean, and
Trans boundary Protected Areas that overlap multiple countries which remove the borders inside the area for conservation and economic purposes.
This Presentation Contains:
Defintion of Biodiversity
Importance
Factors Militating Against Biodiversity
Why we should conserve Biodiversity
and
How to improve Biodiversity Conservation
Climate change and biodiversity are closely linked: climate change has severe direct and indirect impacts on biodiversity and is predicted to be a dominant driver of future biodiversity loss; at the same time, the loss of biodiversity magnifies the adverse effects of climate change.

Lecture about Monitoring and Biodiversity Indices, with linkage to on-going CBD programs, and a special focus on species monitoring.Many examples, needs some formatting, hope still useful!
Unit 3 VCE Environmental Science; Area of Study 2: Biodiversity looks at the benefits of biodiversity, the threats and conservation of the different levels - genetic, species and ecosystem.
Ecological Succession is the process of change in the species structure of an ecological community over a period of time.
But, over a long period of time, the climate conditions of an ecosystem is bound to change.
No ecosystem has existed or will remain unchanged over a Geological Time Scale.
This slideshow was created for the VCE Environmental Science Online Course, Unit 3: Biodiversity. It explains different methods of assessing biodiversity and discusses several indices for measurement.

● Assignment #1 and assignment #2 combine into a health risk .docxoswald1horne84988
● Assignment #1 and assignment #2 combine into a health risk
assessment report
● Assignment #1 is a description of the background associated
with the environmental hazard (Due February 17)
● Assignment #2 is an application and a site specific health risk
assessment that determines the impact of a hazard on a
population in a Canadian city (Due March 31)
This is a 1000-1500 word report on an environmental
hazard. The purpose of the report is to find and then
summarize key literature on an environmental hazard of
your choice. The literature must be from peer reviewed
journal articles and official government reports (from
Health Canada, the CDC and other major agencies). In
this report you must use your research to describe the 1)
origin, source and properties of a hazard 2) the route of
exposure, 3) the concentration of exposure thought to be
harmful to humans and 4) the suspected relationship
between exposure to hazard and a specific health
outcome.
General health risk assessment report (20%)
General health risk assessment report (20%)
● Must choose a hazard and specific health outcome
● Hazard must be something present in the environment of a
typical Canadian city
○ NO2 (ok)
○ Parasite that causes malaria (not ok)
● Health outcome needs to be specific
○ Hospitalization due to asthma (ok)
○ Type 2 diabetes (ok)
○ Influenza (ok)
○ Mortality (not ok)
○ Infant mortality (not ok)
The impact of student noise pollution on sleep
quality
•Hazard: Noise from students
•Route of exposure: Auditory contact/sound
•Health outcome: disrupted sleep
•Concentration of noise likely to cause sleep disturbance: 65 dB
Assignment #2
• Concentration of exposure in Westdale: number of days with level of
exposure in neighbourhood above 65 between 11 pm and 6 am = 4
• Vulnerable population: persons 65+
• Key finding: Upper limit of exposure concentration 750 people x 4 days =
3,000 disrupted person-nights of sleep per year
Example topic #1
The benefits of existing recreational play space on the
physical health of children
•Determinant (‘hazard’): Access to green space
•Route of exposure: Proximity (to child-friendly play space)
•Health outcome: Likelihood of independent play
•Concentration of exposure that would be beneficial: 1.6 Km considered
walkable by school boards in Ontario
Assignment #2
• Number of walkable parks/playgrounds within 1.6 Km of Strathcona: > 20,
though most would require crossing major street; only 1 large park that does
not require street crossing. This is a multi-use recreational space with a small
play area for young children
• Vulnerable population < 8 ~ 150
• Key finding: Children in the Strathcona neighbourhood have access to one
large park, but as a multi-use space, there is little infrastructure available for
young children
Example topic #2
The effect of radon gas on lung cancer risk
•Hazard: Radon gas
•Route of exposure: inhalation; most exposure is in the residential setting,.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
