Conservation Paper: Tigers Facing Extinction (Name) April 7‚ 2013 Tigers Facing Extinction Introduction 3‚000 a year‚ 250 a month‚ 3-7 a day; the tiger population is facing extinction and we are the reason. If it weren ’t for us‚ the tigers would not go extinct much less be endangered. We don ’t eat tigers so why are they so endangered? Information "Of the eight original species of tigers‚ three have become extinct in the last 60 years‚ an average of one every 20

Soil Porosity and Permeability GEO 101 LAB – Earth Science July 26‚ 2014 Soil Porosity and Permeability The focus of week three’s lab in Earth Science is to figure out the porosity and permeability of four different soil types: gravel‚ sand‚ potting soil‚ and soil from my back yard. This lab is designed to look at the porosity and permeability of these four soil samples. Porosity is basically the measure of how much of the soil volume is open space. Permeability is the measurement of how long

Energy Conservation SCI/275 Energy conservation is so important. Why you ask? Because of the limited amount of nonrenewable energy sources on Earth‚ it is important to conserve our current supply or to use renewable sources so that our natural resources will be available for future generations. Energy conservation is also important because consumption of nonrenewable sources impacts the environment. Specifically‚ our use of fossil fuels contributes to

The Meaning of Conservation Proper use of resources and strict compliance with the rules on conservation are the keys to protecting and conserving our limited resources. Conservation is the act of using and protecting resources properly. Catching animals‚ throwing garbage‚ and using and harnessing the different resources should all adhere to the proper way of conservation. Importance to Living Things. Conservation is very important to all living things. The environment where

What is Soil? Soil is the surface of the earth’s crust where plants have their roots and where many small animals make their home. It is also a result of the breakdown of rocks. Formation of Soil Soil is formed when rocks break down into very small particles by various processes such as weathering. There are two types of weathering: Physical Weathering and Chemical Weathering. Physical Weathering arises from the heating and cooling‚ the wetting and drying‚ and the freezing and

The soil is an important part of the landscape and contributes to determine the way in which natural vegetation‚ crops and human settlements are distributed on the territory. But the importance of the soil is mainly related to its double role as a reserve of nutritional elements and water and mechanical support (how would plants be able to stand upright if they did not have the soil to put their roots in?) for vegetation‚ leading to the creation of forests and protected areas. A direct observation

Conservation and Environmental Protection in the UAE Introduction – The world is on global village not just through connectivity but also in the fact that we all share this earth and must work at saving and preserving its natural resources not just for us but also for our children. That’s why conservation and environmental protection has always been an essential part of the efforts to make the UAE the country it needs to be. To understand how to protect the land and environment‚ we must understand

Energy conservation is a very important part of energy planning and its management. It not only saves energy resources for future‚ avoids wasteful utilisation of energy‚ provides solution to energy crisis and ensures higher per capita availability/ consumption but controls environmental degradation and pollution. New strategy emphasies greater reliance on non-exhaustible and non-conventional sources of energy so as to conserve exhaustible conventional resources like coal‚ petroleum‚ natural gas
