How Wildlife Conservation Trust is helping Wildlife in India?

 

















There is a conservation non profit organization called Wildlife Conservation Trust that helps with wildlife in India. They help with where animals cross roads in parts of India. There is this thing called a corridor where animals roam around in India. A corridor is simply a narrow strip of where natural habitat, such as forest, has managed to survive and is still suitable for wild animals to use and move between forest blocks to forest blocks. The only problem that India has on these corridors is that it is so small that animals have to go through roads in India and you know what happens, they get killed by on coming traffic from people driving cars and speeding on the highway. These animals include tigers, wolves, hyenas, ratel, birds, and many more. 

The most important corridor in India are the tigers. Tiger corridors serve as habitat to many species including pangolins and reptiles. The only problem is they keep getting killed by cars because of the amount of area their corridor has. India has already established a law allowing animals to roam free and walk places that are non roads but many states and cities in India haven't done that at all and it has to happen now.

Elephant corridors are having the same problem. Elephants have to have forest to survives the wild but in India, only 12.9 percent of forest have trees now. It used to be so many forest in India but because of roads, mines, etc. Those forests have been destroyed which is a problem for elephants. About 6,300 elephants roam India everyday but many don't have forests to stay in to survive the wild. Wildlife Conservation Trust have been trying to help the elephants but they need help for many other people so that we can keep the elephants population in India secured.

    I think this is very important and that it should be talked about more. I love that there are laws being made to protect the animals in their natural habitats. I wish that they would stop being killed on the roads. Hopefully, there will be a way to stop the animals from being killed on the road. Maybe they could create some kind of traffic system at certain parts of the road so that the animals could cross safely?

On Shaky Ground

By: Hannah Meadows The New Madrid fault line is a growing danger right under peoples feet. Most people don’t realize how catastrophic it would be if the fault line went off and the worst part… there is no telling when it will go off. Usually, earthquakes wouldn’t be an issue in places like California because all of their buildings are built to withstand earthquakes. However, the New Madrid fault line sits right along southern Missouri and Missouri is known for its sedimentary rock. This means an earthquake in Missouri would cause all buildings and houses to be buried since they aren’t built to withstand earthquakes. Now what would the statistics really look like if the New Madrid fault line were to go off unexpectedly?  84,000 buildings damaged and 37,000 more destroyed, almost entirely residences  Over 15,000 people killed and an additional 120,000 displaced Nearly 200 schools and over 100 fire stations would be damaged  37 hospitals and 67 police stations would be compl...

Energy: Hydropower Pros and Cons

Image
 Hydropower is not often talked about as a primary option for sustainable energy, however, 6.6% of energy produced in the U.S. is through hydropower, compared to solar energy which happens to only be 2.3% and is usually the first thought when someone mentions “clean energy.” The reason for this being the majority hydropower plants only give energy to large-scale, industrial operations.  Hydropower boasts a few positives that make it a viable option, those being that it is reliable, safe, and produces a very low amount of emissions. Other than that, they are fairly expensive to build, and they have a very realistic potential to cause droughts. Hydropower is an interesting source of energy and as of now it is only really used for industrial use, however in the future there is a very real possibility for it to be used to power residential areas.  https://www.solarreviews.com/blog/hydroelectric-energy-pros-and-cons#pros-and-cons

They called it a shrinking world because our technology is getting even better and better. Anyways going into the article there is a graph and a description of the burgeoning population of the globe. After it talk about this problem it gets into how this can help our food problem and how we are on our way to a new type of farming. It ends off with them giving numbers on there work with BI intelligence and how much money they made in 2020 and what they are projected to make in 2050.
