Climate Change and Environment

Introduction Climate change continues to threaten our global, national, and regional water supply. Extreme drought conditions are the most extensive in at least 20 years, reservoir levels are at all-time lows, and the resulting dryness of the land has led to more wildfires. Water utilization also contributes meaningfully to global greenhouse gas emissions through the pumping, heating, treating, and essential to bring water …

Sustainable Forest Management It means the capability to manage forests in a way that conserves the forest habitat, biodiversity, and resources as well as achieve the current social, economic, and commercial needs of the human populations without making them useless or unable to be used by the future population, fauna, and flora. Sustainable forestry is a forest management practice that …

Introduction Hazardous waste is waste that causes a threat to human life, health, or the environment in adequate quantities and concentrations when it is unsuitably stored, transported, treated, or disposed of. Hazardous waste is typically a byproduct of industrial processes involving heavy metals and different oil and petrochemical categories and products such as Polyvinyl Chlorides and plastics, polluted electronic waste …

Introduction There is a fact that there is only one thing that is constant in the world is “change”, and it is so true. But every move cannot be expected to be right, the best example is climate change. Climate change is a consequence of global warming. The level of the sea differs with time and space due to physical processes, such …

Introduction Millions of species live on the planet Earth. Among these millions of species, humans are the superior species. We know that as a human we are superior since humans are solely responsible for harming and polluting the environment. One of the possible and major causes of environmental degradation is the rising population and by this time it’s overpopulation. In …

What is Ecotourism? Ecotourism is defined as accountable travel to natural areas that preserve the environment, sustain the welfare of the local people, and involve understanding and education. Education is destined to be comprehensive for both staff and guests. It involves responsible travel to untouched, delicate, and often remote areas to minimize the negative impacts on the environment by tourism …

What is Blue Carbon? Although terrestrial forests typically become most of the attention, these are not the only ecosystems that possess a natural capability to combat climate change. There are three coastal ecosystems that are also highly operative at sequestering carbon dioxide. These are mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrass. The carbon that is seized and stored by these coastal ecosystems is called …

Climate Change Adaptation Climate change adaptation refers to activities that reduce the negative impact of climate change while taking benefit of potential new opportunities. It involves regulating policies and actions because of observed or expected climate changes. Adaptation can react to climate impacts or prevent them before observing the effects of climate change. In most conditions, anticipatory adaptations result in …

Introduction Composting is the natural process of decomposition or rotting of organic matter with the help of microorganisms under organized conditions. Raw organic matters for example, crop residues, food garbage, animal wastes, suitable industrial wastes and, municipal solid wastes, enhance their appropriateness for application to the soil as a fertilizer source, after undergoing composting. It is a rich source of …

What are Ecotone Ecotone is known to be a transitional area, which exists between two ecosystems or two different communities like grassland and forest. Ecotones are known to be of great environmental importance because they mainly contain those species that are not found in the overlying communities. They are home to many fauna and flora as they have an area …
