The human civilization started from the bottom of the hierarchy among the species and becomes the most supreme or influential specie in the modern times. People have greatly changed the world. The grasslands and forests became cities and agricultural lands. The natural environment has been useful for humans and provides people almost everything they need to survive on earth. The natural environment provided the oxygen, water, food, materials and other resources to humans (Muir 37). However, instead of being thankful to the environment, people have been destroying it in order to acquire additional benefits such as additional land use ...

Humanity has developed and flourished over the span of centuries. As civilizations grew and develop, humans learn many things about nature. Ancient people realized the benefits of nature to humanity and began using it for hunting food, acquiring resources to build homes and to protect them from numerous threats from the environment. As humans learned other benefits of nature, they started to interfere with the environment and greatly change the way it was used. People started to change the structures of land and to remove trees from the forest in order to build farm lands and cities. People continue ...

The criminal environmental enforcement seeks to punish the actions that the society view as harmful to the environment and health of people. The civil, environmental enforcement is streamlined towards individual parties who should be compensated for the harm caused by ...

Nursing as a practice has continuously evolved in order to align with the variety of stimuli that influence the profession. These may include new medical treatments and technical systems and dynamic social norms and expectations. One recent trend that has significantly influenced nursing is the need for culturally competent care, a situation attributed to the increasingly dynamic and multicultural society. For this reason, nurses are required to provide culturally competent care in the high-stress and high-acuity environments they operate in (Dayer-Berenson, 2011). This would allow one to improve their skills as patient advocates as they can adequately comply with ...

Introduction

Urban sprawl has turned out to be a controversial issue in recent times due to the rate at which green spaces are disappearing in most of the cities, especially in the United States. Nnaemeka-Okeke (2016) describes urban sprawl as the expansion of a community devoid of concern for the environmental impact. In other words, urban sprawl is the uncontrolled expansion of the metropolitan areas. This phenomenon primarily results in the extinction of green spaces and a variety of environmental consequences. Banai and DePriest (2014) maintain that urban sprawl is considered a cause of the climate change, with environmental effects ...

Introduction

In the process of designing and implementing projects, some ethical issues are faced by the project managers on a daily basis. If such ethical issues are not dealt with effectively with solutions, the efficiency of project implementation becomes reduced significantly. Ethical issues relate to how team members develop and sustain a good working relationship with each other and vary in the type of project and the region involved. There are no existing hard and fast rules that act as directives to solutions when ethical challenges arise. Therefore, professionals need to apply both leadership and entrepreneurial skills to resolve ethical ...

Introduction

In the past, humans practiced hunting and gathering as a way of finding food. They would hunt down animals for food and feed the different communities. Over time, as the human population grew. The growth in human population meant that there was an increased demand in food, thus leading to an increased number of animals to hunt down. It became impossible for the humans to solely depend on animals for food. Another result with the increased human population was increased demand for land. The humans turned to cutting down or burning vegetation. In the process, some animals were burnt ...

Introduction

An ecosystem is defined as the interaction of the organism and other nonliving factors in a certain community. The living components of an ecosystem, such as plants, animals, and other organisms, can be classified as the biotic component of the ecosystem, whereas the environmental conditions such as water amount, humidity, soil nourishment, temperature, and the like are termed as the abiotic factors. In an ecosystem, both the existing biotic and abiotic factors determine what kind of species live there. For example, turtles, which require a large amount of water to live in cannot possibly hope to survive in arid ...

But it is important for all those that have concerns to understand that many new things are happening that were not predicted in the early 20th century. This is why I ...

INTRODUCTION

There was a time when the world was almost entirely covered by forests, marshes, mountains and rainforests however, as human societies became more and more industrialized and the population continued to grow more and more natural environments were cleared to accommodate housing needs of people, the grazing lands for animals, room for human industries, and the obtaining of natural energy resources, like coal and oil. This is a reality for many states in the United States. That being said there are many people who have never spent a single day surrounded by authentic nature. It was in the 1860s ...

Introduction

Climate change is among the significant factors impacting ecological diversity on a worldwide scale. The growth of industries and the increasing human population globally have resulted in a rise in the volume of greenhouse gasses, which scientists have argued are the greatest contributors to the menace. The Florida Keys is one of the ecological treasures of the U.S. that continues to be impacted negatively by climate change and anthropogenic activities. This ecological treasure, which is located at the tip of the state of Florida, comprises about 1,700 islands that stretch for more than 200 miles to the west ...

The first sketches of the landscape in the form of contours of the mountains, trees and rivers appeared in primitive cave drawings. At that time, people made the first attempts to portray themselves surrounded by wildlife. Landscape elements can also be found in the art of ancient Greece. Halls of the Knossos Palace on Crete have so far preserved the frescoes, wall painting with a realistic pictures of people against the sea, garden and mountain landscape. Before appearing in the west, landscape as an independent genre appeared in ancient China as a lyrical direction, celebrating the beauty and elegance ...

Introduction

Even though it was primarily developed for military purposes by the US army, the Global Positioning System (GPS) has since had several uses beyond military needs. The most recent one is that it has been found more useful in the scientific study of wildlife distribution than even imagined. As a matter of fact, today, scientific study of wildlife distribution significantly depends on the system. The Global Positioning Technology enables individuals to observe animal behavior from a distance without disturbing their natural behavior, that is to say, animals can be remotely observed without any form of physical involvement. To be ...

There has been a growing interest over time in the way democracy and capitalism relate. Some of the remarkable contributions on this subject include Robert Reich's article on "super capitalism", and Warren Letter to Shareholders 2004 and 2015.

According to Robert Reich, democracy and capitalism are in a growing conflict (MacKenzie 381). He, however, argues that the inconsistency was not present in the period between 1945 and 1975. This situation is attributed to the fact that there was ...

Civilization combined with the industrial revolution has altered the cycle of life dramatically. Land, air and water are all elements that have experienced significant change to wildlife, atmospheric and human conditions. As urban cities expand throughout the globe, man becomes more dependent on corporations, construction, development and manufactured goods in the ultimate form consumption. In order to maintain consumerism, land is being built over using components that smother the Earth. Pouring concrete over a meadow, for example, suffocates both plant and wildlife and welcomes the exhaust of concrete, automobiles, trucks and rubber tires that overall poisons every natural characteristic ...

The Earth is a temple. Man has been shifting and tampering with the Earth since the beginning of time, but no time hard hit as the industrial revolution. Whether the human mind perceives from religion, scientific facts or both, tampering with nature always comes with a price. The price of peace, the price of sheer humbleness, the price of pure existence in the raw form of nature in simple elegance. The industrial revolution took sea and land by storm and the planet has faced a dehumanizing effect that will forever change the course of animated life, forever. The 19th ...

Abstract

The paper presents the method for assessment the population that is not counted by the official census. The capture and re-capture method for wildlife population assessment is applied. The method is based on marking of the individuals in the sample, and counting the quantity of the marked individuals in the second sample. The ratio is used to assess the quantity of the group in the entire population. The limitations of the theory are discussed, and they are related to the choice of the region for the survey and sampling due to non-homogeneity of the regions. Basing on the US ...

REDD+ in Kenya

Introduction

The prevalence of deforestation and massive degradation of forests from around the world are considered as one among the primary root of global warming. According to reports, the destruction of forests accounts for about 15 percent of greenhouse gas emissions that occur globally (Forest, 2015), and it was found that deforestation are generally caused by factors that motivate people to clear the forests (Chakravarty, 2012). As a means to combat the problem on global emissions, the REDD+ was created with the goal to reduce the impact of the environmental degradation as well as to foster activities ...

Introduction

The concept of sustainable development was first introduced in 1987 by the United Nations as part of the Report of the World Commission on Environment and Development, in which it was stated that sustainable development implies “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (United Nations General Assembly, 1987). The World Conservation Strategy published in 1980 served as prelude to the conception of this notion, as the UN recognized the importance of minimizing the impact of human activity over the earth’s ecosystems and adopting models inclined towards sustainability ...

Introduction

The state of the natural world is always hanging in a delicate balance. No other creature on the planet has a deeper effect on the balance than humans do. Endangered and threatened species is the effect of human activity. Humans have an innate ability to create chaos in the world around them. The more a civilization is destroying the natural world, the worse the natural world becomes. This is evident by the numbers of endangered species that rises. It is difficult to center on just one single species and ignore the rest. Each species deserves to be recognized ...

Briefing: Climate Change

Global warming is an environmental issue which effects every single one of us. The past 50 years has seen the fastest increase in global temperatures in recorded history; since the year 2000, 15 out of 16 of the hottest days since temperatures have been recorded happened ("Global Warming 101", n.p.). The scientific explanation for global warming is that carbon dioxide (CO2), as well as other pollutants, get into the atmosphere and trap sunlight and solar radiation, causing an increase in global temperatures ("Global Warming 101", n.p.). The two major sources of CO2 are coal-burning for energy and emissions from ...

Scientists, the world over, have a common belief that over 90% of earth’s species have become extinct over the last three billion years that the planet has supported life . It is estimated that there have been at least five mass extinctions spread over millions of years at a time. The latest known mass extinction was towards the end of the Cretaceous period. It is most likely so well known because, the event which occurred over 65 million years ago, caused the end of the dinosaurs. Although in terms of the scale it was smaller than the previous four, ...

Bovine tuberculosis (TB) refers to a chronic bacterial infection of cattle that distresses some species of mammals. It is a substantial zoonosis that may spread to humans, mainly via the consumption of unpasteurized milk or the inhalation of aerosols. In developed nations, eradication initiatives have eliminated or reduced tuberculosis in cattle. As a result, human disease is currently rare. Nevertheless, reservoirs in wildlife may cause eradication challenging. Bovine tuberculosis remains popular in underdeveloped nations, and severe economic losses may take place from livestock mortalities, trade restrictions, and chronic disease. In some circumstances, this disease can similarly be a grave ...

Introduction

Correctional reforms are an important part of the criminal justice system. The reforms can reduce recidivism or have the opposite effect depending on its implementation based on cultural beliefs. Every region of the world has its unique philosophies. Despite changes in political paradigms, the cultural values find their purpose even in the new laws. Eventually, all penal systems aim to achieve an intolerance for criminal behavior from their respective civilian population. The success of any reformist drive must have the potential to derive a law that will work for the entire community. Although this criterion might seem difficult, it ...

Nature in city; seed bank; ecosystem and social-urban development.

The terms “ecology” and environment” have different conceptual meanings which often overlap with the concept of “nature” in the context of academic and scientific research and analysis. For instance, ‘Natures and Ecologies’ studies explore the environmental dimensions of ecosystems which includes both physical parameters and biotic attributes of a particular region. The “environment "includes the physical world, the social world of human relations and the built world of human creation. [Ankers 2005] Within the various uses of the word today, "nature" often refers to geology and wildlife. Nature can refer to the general realm of living plants and animals, ...

The Pacific Northwest enjoyed a strong timber economy for most of the 20th century. It is not surprising to note that where there were trees, people would build towns near the forests where they worked. Residents of the Willamette and Rogue Valleys of Oregon were strong, dedicated people who believed in a hard workday. Farms and retail built up around the timber communities and it seemed that as long as there were trees to cut down, there would be a booming economy. However, there were a few hiccups with that plan, and soon the loggers realized that unless ...
