The first law (Equation 3.4.1) is a statement of energy conservation that tells us that a system can exchange energy with its surroundings by the transmission of heat and by the performance of work.

Our Conservation Partner programs are actively restoring populations of threatened species, from Malayan tigers to one-horned rhinos. They are also now protecting thousands of square miles of critically important wildlife habitat, with thousands more identified for protection in the coming years.

The law of conservation of angular momentum states that when no external torque acts on an object, no change of angular momentum will occur. If you look at the object (rock-disk system), if you choose any non-fixed point you will be introducing linear momentum into the equation, which you cannot do for free (i.e without subtracting from angular.

The magnitude of the angular momentum of an orbiting object is equal to its linear momentum (product of its mass m and linear velocity v) times the perpendicular distance r from the centre of rotation to a line drawn in the direction of its instantaneous motion and passing through the object’s centre of gravity, or simply mvr.

Ques 2 Which of the following conservation strategies do not directly involve community participation? Joint forest management (c) Chipko Movement Beej Bachao Andolan

National Forest Management Act of 1976: This act amends the Forest and Rangeland Resources Planning Act of 1975 and recognizes that the management of the Nation's renewable resources is highly complex and the uses, demand for, and supply of the various resources are subject to change over time.

Conservation history: how has conservation changed since its inception?· Common conservation perceptions: how do con-servationists characterize the relationship between human beings and the environment, and how have these perceptions influenced the trajectory of con-servation?· Organizational institutions:Whatfactors mediate

Class 12 Biology Revision Notes Chapter 15 Biodiversity and Conservation. Biodiversity or biological diversity is the occurrence of different types of ecosystems, different species of organisms and their variant like biotypes, ecotypes and gene adapted to different climates and environments of different regions including their interactions and processes.This term was coined by Edward Wilson.

We find that the probability of ex situ conservation for a globally threatened temperate species is 77% (a 17% increase relative to temperate species as a whole), but the probability of ex situ.

The conservation efforts of the last decades have made a significant difference in the state of biodiversity today. Over 100,000 protected areas—including national parks, wildlife refuges, game reserves, and marine protected areas, managed both by governments and local communities—provide habitat for wildlife, and help keep deforestation in.

In 2011, China completed the survey of medicinal plant resources and ex situ conservation and carried out the fourth national survey of traditional Chinese medicine resources. By 2018, more than 230,000 samples of medicinal materials, wax leaves, and germplasm resources had been collected.
