Air And Water Pollution

Water and air pollution have had a significant impact on the history of the planet. The Industrial Revolution of the mid-19th century brought with it incredible technological advancements, but it also brought with it new sources of air and water pollution. These changes were beginning to have an impact on countries all over the world […]

Air

The Earth’s atmosphere is made up of a combination of gases called air. A set of gases with virtually constant concentrations and a group of gases with concentrations that vary in both location and time make up the mixture. Consistent concentrations of atmospheric gases (and their proportions in percentage by volume) Mixing associated with atmospheric

Zoological Park

A zoo (is a short form of the zoological garden; also known as an animal park or menagerie) is a facility in which animals are housed within enclosures, cared for, they are displayed to the public, and in some cases, they can also be bred for any conservational purposes. The term zoological garden means zoology,

Wildlife sanctuary and national park

All over the world, wildlife is the primary natural habitat. Wildlife faces extinction as a result of deforestation, as well as persistent industrialization and urbanisation. As a result, national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and biosphere reserves, among others, are set aside to preserve and conserve a country’s natural lifestyle. Wildlife sanctuaries are areas of land or

Wildlife Sanctuary

A wildlife sanctuary is an area where birds and animals are safeguarded and preserved safely in their native habitats, away from illicit activities such as poaching and trafficking. Natural reserve, biosphere reserve, and conservation area are other words for wildlife refuge. They’re crucial for studies and research. These are owned by charities and research institutes

Wildlife extinction

Extinction is the death or extinction of a creature in biology. Extinction happens whenever a species’ population declines due to environmental factors (habitat fragmentation, global change, natural disasters, error), around 40% of the current genera of big animals in Africa and even more than 70% in North America, South America, and Australia became extinct. Cos

Water conservation

INTRODUCTION Water conservation is a broad term that encompasses everything from simple home water conservation to complex, long-term efforts to protect water on a larger scale. Although water covers 70% of the earth’s surface, it is not entirely useful to humans. Humans cannot drink 97 percent of the saltwater that covers the oceans, and the

Understanding The Loss of Biodiversity

Biodiversity is defined as the number of various species or any community living in an ecosystem. There are many roles played by biodiversity, one of which is to provide a utilitarian ecosystem in which sustainability is maintained in ecology and cultural values. The consequences of biodiversity loss are devastating in nature that influence living beings

Types of Conservation

Biodiversity refers to the many living forms that exist on the planet, such as animals, plants, microorganisms, and the ecosystems in which they reside. Genes, species, creatures, and ecosystems are all examples of biological diversity. As a result, species, genetic, ecological  and global biodiversity seem to be the four significant levels of biodiversity. Biodiversity is

Threat to biodiversity

The Convention on Biological Diversity recognises five major threats to biodiversity, which are generally recognised in its work programs: invasive alien species, climate change, nutrient loading and pollution, habitat change, and overexploitation. Unless we are successful in mitigating the effects of these direct drivers of change on biodiversity, they will contribute to the loss of
