Kakuda Park Research Paper

Improved Essays
Have you ever heard of the national kakuda park, well this park is listed on the world heritage list meaning the park follows the criteria having said that is must be very special right? With this in mind do you really think the construction of a mine is a good idea. Not to mention that uranium mining can be extremely dangerous as underneath the uranium mines there can be high concentrations of radon which leads to lung cancer not only this puts the miners in danger but possibly the local residents to. Furthermore, the kakuda national park attracts many tourists but if the construction of a mine happens this would surely prevent tourists from visiting leading to local residents losing jobs and money. As well as the construction of a mine will destroy plants and animal’s habitats. After seeing all of these consequences and side affects of uranium miming I strongly believe the construction of a uranium mine is a terrible idea and should not go forward!

Firstly, provided that the kakuda national park has been on the world heritage list since 1992 meaning the Site is a place that is listed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization as being of special

With that in mind ovuiosly most people jobs are based around tourists, yet if a mine is built in the kakuda national park it would be an ugly site and destroy why the park is special, leading to tourists to stop visiting and would unfortunately lead to many people losing their jobs and incomes. Not only would the construction of a mine cause people to loose jobs and money it would also take away the opportunity of being able to visit the kakuda national park taking away the amazing chance of seeing the way of life of the aboriginals and the natural habitat with rare plants and animals. By constructing a uranium park it will clearly stop tourists from coming effecting many people lives therefore being inconsiderate of

    I found this Yakudoshi party fun and very informative celebration (not to mention the great meal my wife and I had). I had an idea of the different types or the variety of food the Japanese culture has to offer, however, I think the most valuable lessons here were learning about the culture. I was fortunate enough to hear how the older generation and the younger generation view the practice of Yakudoshi, compare their views on food, hear and learn about some Japanese etiquettes (especially in the use of chopsticks as I described it in the discussion experience below), and hear their views on interracial marriage. Although the young Japanese couple had a hard time convincing their children to consume some of their meal, watching the young…

    Taseko Fish Lake Analysis

    Taseko should not be granted approval to build a mine around Fish Lake for three main reasons. Firstly, Taseko is a mining group that wants to start their development around Fish Lake but environmentalists and indigenous group, Tsilhoqot’in, claim that Taseko will cause irreparable damage to the water supply. I argue that Fish Lake is a common resource which means that the land has to be protected to ensure consumers does not over use it. Second, Fish Lake is a sacred land for the indigenous group Tsilhoqot’in. Lastly, Taseko would be contributing to the inequality that Aboriginal people have to deal with when the government wants to build on their territory.…

    Introduction Australia has some of the worlds most diverse and unique ecosystems, these are constantly under threat from both human impacts and natural processes. I believe that to protect our native species we need to attract people to our National parks, one example of this is Kings Park a state icon in Western Australia with over 13,000 different species located and protected on its grounds. The problem with Kings Park is that it doesn’t receive the attention it deserves. I think by building biomes and other interesting Architectural wonders, we can create artificial ecosystems too hold an even larger variety of flora from all the different ecosystems around Australia and the world.

    Mining is just as bad as Cattle Ranching. Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the Earth. Mining kills people and the Earth- it contaminates water sources and pollutes them of diseases due to the fact that some sort of poison is let out.
