They called Venezuela paradise, living in tropical forests, grasslands, and beaches. There were three major Indian groups;the Arawak, Carib, Chibcha. All groups practiced farming to a certain point, but it wasn’t necessary because land was rich with resources. The people fished for, hunted, and gathered their…

when health improvements from green infrastructure are only available to the eco-elite. Re-introducing green resources into our current lifestyles continue to face obstacles when trying to reach an authentic and natural state. Large fields of grassland that once was trimmed by the feeding of sheep are now cut by the power of fuel in lawnmowers. Pesticides are used on lawns to keep away the natural biodiversity of weeds and bugs that we don’t appreciate. We throw out our food when it contains…

By learning more about a particular regions culture and important factors, you can learn a great deal about that particular area in regards to mythology. Native American mythology was something that was interesting and showed where climate and…

Thomas and Joe: The Landscapers Thomas Gainsborough and Joe Rader Roberts are not your typical landscapers. In fact, the two are not the manual laborers who clean and fix up your lawn and gardens. Both men are artists who have remarkable works of landscape art. The difference between the two is that they were born nearly two centuries apart, so one can most likely see a huge setting and story difference in the works of art. I honestly could not have picked a better combination to compare and…

Meaning of the Title, “When Worlds Collide” In the first chapter of US History, the title, “When Worlds Collide” is given to describe this chapter. This represents that the Europeans and Natives had different cultures, diseases, plants, animals, and technology, as if they were in 2 completely different worlds, then met up with each other once Columbus set foot in the Americas. These worlds collided when Columbus, rather than sailing to India, accidentally sailed to the Americas in 1492,…

Can you imagine living in the world’s largest and hottest desert? The Sahara Desert is the world’s largest and hottest desert. The Sahel lies on the southern border of the Sahara. This region receives more rain than the Sahara, but it often suffers from long periods of drought. Most of Sahel’s land is not appropriate for growing crops, which gave a hard time to the farmers living there. The Sahel are turning into a desert and it greatly affects the people who live there.

Nigeria has three main environmental regions, which are the savanna, tropical forests and coastal wetlands.

Africa is a continent cloaked in ambiguity. Outsiders have viewed it with disdain in the past mostly due to a lack of a fundamental understanding of the continent and its people. Once seen as a backwards place that couldn’t get things right or every truly be civilized due to inferior genetics. In the next few paragraphs I would like to discuss this concept and reasons it could be true and more importantly why it is not true. Vast portions of this continent were truly a dark isolated place…

of the plain and live mostly in small, scattered farming communities. The Zatopec Indians live in the Zatopec Highlands to the east of the plain. The highlands rise steeply to 3,000 feet, have an annual rainfall of 35 inches and are mostly open grassland. There are modern cities that can be found in the highlands. The Zatopecs that inhabit these cities have been integrated into the industrial economy. At one time, thousands of years ago, the…

Tourism is one of the fastest growing industries with international tourism accounting for 9% of the total GDP and one in every eleven jobs are related to tourism (Meleddu, Pulina, 106, 67). However, tourism by itself leads to various negative externalities on the environment, socio-economy, and local culture (Meleddu, Pulina, 106, 67). For this reason, ecotourism is important and is slowly gaining momentum. Ecotourism can be subdivided or classified into various categories such as sustainable…
