User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are various types of interactions between living organisms, including mutualism, commensalism, competition, predation, and parasitism. Mutualism is a mutually beneficial relationship where both organisms benefit. Commensalism is when one organism benefits without affecting the other. Competition occurs when individuals compete for limited resources. Predation is when one organism (predator) hunts and feeds on another (prey). Parasitism is a relationship where one organism (parasite) benefits at the expense of the other (host).

What is animal thermal insulation?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Animal thermal insulation refers to the ability of animals to regulate their body temperature in order to maintain optimal internal conditions.

What is role of government in conservation of wildlife?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Government involvement

The Wildlife Conservation Act was enacted by the Government of India in 1972. Soon after the trend of policy makers enacting regulations on conservation a strategy was developed to allow actors, both government and non-government, to follow a detailed "framework" to successful conservation. The World Conservation Strategy was developed in 1980 by the "International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources "(IUCN) with advice, cooperation and financial assistance of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Wildlife Fund and in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco)"[9]The strategy aims to "provide an intellectual framework and practical guidance for conservation actions."[9]This thorough guidebook covers everything from the intended "users" of the strategy to its very priorities and even a map section containing areas that have large seafood consumption therefore endangering the area to over fishing. The main sections are as follows:

  • The objectives of conservation and requirements for their achievement:
  1. Maintenance of essential ecological processes and life-support systems.
  2. Preservation of genetic diversity.
  3. Sustainable utilization of species and ecosystems.
  • Priorities for national action:
  1. A framework for national and subnational conservation strategies.
  2. Policy making and the integration of conservation and development.
  3. Environmental planning and rational use allocation.
  • Priorities for international action:
  1. International action: law and assistance.
  2. Tropical forests and drylands.
  3. A global programme for the protection of genetic resource areas.

Map sections:

  1. Tropical forests
  2. Deserts and areas subject to desertification.

What is the Conclusion of wild life conservation efforts in India?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

CONCLUSION

Protection of Wildlife alone is not possible only by laws and Government. Despite all of these laws and efforts, destruction of wildlife, illegal trade and poaching continues. Active cooperation from the common public is also very necessary. It is now high time for us to understand the gravity of the situation and act on its behalf. And this can only be achieved by our awareness and by further stringent laws by the Government. We must not lose the national treasures in our rat race of urbanization and modernization.

How many animal species become extinct each year?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It changes and many different scientists have different opinions, since the total number of species (including bacteria) cannot be precisely determined. One estimate is that from 25 to 150 species of animals become extinct every day. Most if not all are microorganisms replaced by species with greater survivability.

All animals hold the economic system together. Without say, fish, bigger animals like crocs and sharks would die because there would be nothing for them to eat. Also smaller animals like krill would over populate the water and kill every thing off (including each other).

How are trees saving us from floods?

User Avatar

Asked by Shivaparuchuri

Trees naturally take in a lot of water so stabilizes the amount of water in the environment, no excess and no scarcity.

If flood happens; from the direction of woods for example or where there are trees planted together in a group, then they act as a barrier and slow down the speed of water to less than half and water uptake increases so less water comes out from the other side.

Water plays a very vital role in preventing erosion and these were only a few.!!

How does tree planting help the environment?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If trees die the world dies the world dies and it has already started....(this is one of the causes of global warming and soon to be global control). you kill the trees, you kill your country and your people bottom line.

Without plants and trees there can be no life! (species cannot live)

*Plants recycle your waste and provide us with clean all natural oxygen!

It filters the water you drink (for ex. Say someone poisons the water source and no trees to take toxins out your dead as a doornail depending on how potent the poison and how much. So time would be a coefficient.) the more trees get cut the more diseases arrive.

See info below:

* Plants and trees give us life, Shelter, water, medicine, food and protection. (wood an leaves for Building materials, fuel/gas and oils). Roots like cassava/yucca as well as skins from oranges, lemons, cucumber, mint bush and grapefruits trees for example make natural shampoos and soaps and cleaning products. Leaves, barks and roots and fruit skin for Medicine, Clothing (trees like Crocus, cotton, Hemp, Flamboyant, Fern, Willow, Ficus, Rattan, Bamboo, Hibiscus, coconut trees to name a few

* Trees and plants also provide food for animals we depend on for material from domestic animals that shed including Sheeps, Camels, furry animals like Dogs, cats, llama, Alpaca and spiders and even horses, donkeys,elephants, tigers, lions and zebras. These animals provide us with wool, silk, leather and as well as cashmere material to name a few Fuel is important for because it cooks keep you warm in the winter etc.( oils, gas, wood are all plant derivatives.)

* It provides food for everything in the circle of life which man depends on for a long healthy life. One cannot live without the other.

* Plants and trees cool the earth and can stop global warming and diseases like cancers, lupus, Alzheimer and baldness. (Clean air, provided that you exercise regularly and consume a healthy diet is the key) the taller the grass the longer you live. Because grass provides low level of good nitrate, a natural substance mixed with the atmosphere during rainfall. Just imagine living to be 700 years old. It can be done if grass is not cut below 6 feet in unused spaces.

see info below:

1000 acres of certain crops can provide 5000 gallons of water to a large farm grounds for, vines like those in global jungles also is a source of water.

*Abundant trees and plant- provide rain even in off seasons once there is enough and they must be close together.

*Trees that can withstand wind can protect you home from flooding and keep your roof from ending up a mile down the road in the event of a storm. Some trees that can protect your home are as follows. Live Oak, Mahogany trees, Japanese Maple, Indian Ficus benghalensis, Southern Magnolia, Saucer Magnolia (Japanese Magnolia, Tulip Tree), Mango tree, Jujube tree (Jo-Jo tree), Crape Myrtle, Dahoon Holly, American Holly, Yaupon Holly, Vitex or Chaste Tree, Native Fringe Tree, Redbud, Ficus tree, baobab tree, Kuka (African Baobab), Tamarind and locust trees to name a few

Focus tree make tires and gloves for cars

Remember

*Plants convert carbon dioxide to oxygen

*The provide you with natural air-condition when used as shade trees as appose to an air-conditioning the number one cause of death in the USA

*Some trees like the Mandak tree can be used to store water while it lives excellent for arid lands.

*Plants and trees provide us with food (vegetables, fruit and cereal crops - wheat, flour, rice etc)

· Plants keep you from getting diseases and can allow you to grow and keep a full head of nice strait hair all your life.

Note** If there is not enough trees to shade you while you are outdoor it will make you hair dry/course and unmanageable.

· Plants make excellent natural "shampoo and soap", if you know which one to use, that does not cause dry skin allowing you to wrinkle due to age faster.

* Trees provide security and necessities in the event of a disaster, such as Tall climbable shade trees can save your life in the event of a storm and brush for toiletries. If you need to reach higher ground mountains are not nearby.

* Trees can be used to leverage something in life saving emergency. For example: a large tree can stop the average car or buggy from completely falling of a road due to a broken rail or on hanging off a cliff. Provided you have a durable rope and the know how.

* As mentioned above they also provide animals with food, which in turn end up on our table as well - they also contribute to secondary food sources such as milk, which comes from cows which eat grass.

* THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER THINGS plants can do- just take a moment to think about a world without plants! Just imagine yourself not existing. If trees die the world dies. If plastic reign and are not recycled properly as oppose to glass natural. Plastic can diminish natural food resources like the fish!

I hope you learned something today. Plant a tree today. Some take 200 years to grow and under 6 minutes to cut if you have the right tools.

Take care of your world. The world is one big yard. "A place where everyone should share and care about plants , trees,grass and brushes as well as human beings. " Plant a tree today.
