Factors Causing Population Change
There are four basic factors that cause population change in a country – Natality or the birth rate, Mortality or…
Underlying Causes of Loss of Biodiversity
Varieties of Biological Resources are in international demand today. To meet this international demand, illegal smuggling of these resources is done through illegal routes. Some species of plants and animals have been threatened, rare, endangered or critically endangered due to such practices. Several valuable species of plants and animals have become extinct due to these activities. The international trade in animal body parts is increasing rather rapidly due to their high prices in the international markets. Where possible, the trade of whole animals is also in full swing.
Processes and Characteristics of Life
All those processes that maintain the body of an organism collectively are called as life processes.
Technological Development
The application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry, is called as technology.
Renewable Energy
Anything from which we can derive energy is called as a source of energy. Since all the life processes need energy, energy is most important for our survival. Our body derives energy from the food we eat. Thus, the food we eat is the source of energy for our body. But this is not the whole story. We need energy for our growth and economic development as well.
The Dharma of Ecology
Our beliefs and values, culture and heritage used to preserve and protect the environment through different social, religious and traditional principles
Our Environment has a Limit of Tolerance
We have been hearing about environmental pollution, loss of biodiversity, energy crisis, and the sustainable environment since long. So many things have already been infused in school syllabi as well. But how many of us really apply in our real life the things about which we have read in our classes? If you collect yourselves and think seriously, you may find that you are still not as careful as you are supposed to be.
Conservation of Wildlife
Conservation of species in their natural habitats- in areas where they occur under normal conditions is called in-situ conservation.
This type of conservation strategy protects the entire area. Such an area is protected and maintained to conserve all the known or unknown species inhabiting it.
In this type of conservation, species are not isolated or provided with health care, food, or mating facilities. Only factors detrimental to species’ existence and development are eliminated in this conservation strategy. Human interference, such as hunting, cutting down trees, collecting firewood, etc., is completely banned in such areas.
Bamboo or the Green Gold to Indian Farmers
Bamboo can be said as the Green Gold to Indian Farmers as it provides vast varieties of benefits to them.
Technological Models
Recently, it has been found that Photo Voltaic Cells cannot be popularly used for power generation on large scales. However, our scientists have discovered that the alignment of Carbon Nano Tube with the polymer composites substrate would give very high efficiency in Photo Voltaic Conversion.
Soil- its Conservation and Management
Soil is the loose material that covers the land surface of the earth, supports the growth of plants and acts as a habitat for numerous organisms.
