Wildlife Trafficking: the Elephant in the Room, But Without the Elephants Many people think it is cool and unique to have an exotic pet and stand out among their peers. But for every animal that is transported from its native country for sale, 90% will not survive the journey (“Inside”). That means that only 10% of animals are likely to last just the trip, which does not include the dozens of animals that are canceled orders, abandoned, or starving because of inadequate care and lack of a…

preservation and conservation of natural areas. This paper will look at two regions, the Annapurna Conservation Area (ACA) in Nepal and the Mkomazi National Park in Tanzania. The two regions have both implemented conservation initiatives, and have a strong relationship with tourism. This paper will examine community conservation in the ACA (ACA) that draws on Hulme and Murphree 's (1999) idea of “new conservation”, which involves “the merging of conservation and development goals”, conservation…

Elizabeth is the protagonist of the story and plays a pivotal role in the plot because she is a round and dynamic character, has a variety of…

In the 21st century, global warming, which is caused by the increase of carbon dioxide gases that forms from burning fuels in the atmosphere, is a serious threat to the Earth. As National Renewable Energy Laboratory (2006) statistics show, energy consumption is done principally by buildings in the U.S. This research intends to decrease the percentage of carbon emission by developing zero carbon homes. Berry,S. et. al. (2013) define zero carbon homes as having no need for fossil fuel for heating…

A bow is basically a two-armed spring that stores mechanical “potential energy” once the string is drawn and pulls back the limbs. After you recoil the cord, you utilize your muscles to exert a force on the string that bends the limbs backward. The quantity of force that your fingers exert on the string once you’ve to force it all the means back is named the “draw weight.” The elastic or spring energy is currently “potential energy” that may be reborn into launching associate arrow after you…

And we won’t admit it. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature there is around 16,000 species at risk of extinction and 41,415 species that are threatened. Many species including ourselves are in danger if we do not look for a solution to prevent it. In Andrea Wulf’s The Invention of Nature, she introduces Alexander von Humboldt who was the first scientist to notice climate change. Today, it is a big topic since we can see it occur in front us or on the news such as and…

journalist Elizabeth Kolbert discusses New Zealand’s problem with invasive species attacking endemic fauna which results in many of their native species becoming extinct. Kolbert explains the problems of exterminating specific animals such as stoat for conservation of their natural wildlife. She also explains the issues of how explorers brought various animals to different parts of the world. Hence, Elizabeth Kolbert discusses the difficulty of eliminating invasive species and that extreme…

We champion the essence of ecotourism by pledging to consistently and diligently foster conservation, empower local communities, and educate visitors on the native culture and natural beauty of the location. An example of EcoTrue remaining true to our mission statement is reflected in our Maquipucuna Reserve project. The Maquipucuna Reserve…

to learn about the anatomy, physiology, and obscurities of every phylum, through dissections and field work. As my knowledge and respect for wildlife and conservation grew, I was given the opportunity to be the cartographer and artist for the Washtenaw Community College Nature Trail that was put into place this year for education and conservation efforts in the natural habitat for the many species that surrounds the campus. When I transferred to Cornell, I was ready…

RESULT AND DISCUSSION 1. Hardware testing A prototype of street lighting automation system is developed and the whole prototype design is as shown in Figure-9. The design of whole project was done with 12 LEDs, 4 PIR sensors and 1 LDR sensor. All the wiring and connection are connected to Arduino board. This was done by calibrate part by part which is started with LDR sensor, then PIR sensor and lastly LED as light module. During day, all LEDs and PIR sensor is turned off. This condition is…
