BIRDS DIVERSITY OF SOOTEA BISWANATH ASSAM.ppt.pptx

This document discusses various topics related to living corners in schools, including pisciculture (fish farming), bird watching, and rearing animals. It covers different methods of fish farming such as cage and pond systems. It also provides a history of bird watching as a hobby and details common bird watching activities. The document recommends maximizing animal survival rates in rearing and discusses both parent and artificial rearing methods.

The document summarizes information about the pileated woodpecker, including its habitat, diet, breeding behaviors, predators, role in food chains and webs, and how environmental factors can affect its population. The woodpecker lives in deciduous forests with older trees, builds nests in rotting trees, and eats insects and fruits. Its eggs hatch in 12-14 days, and both parents share incubation duties and care for the young. Predators include sharp-shinned hawks and parasites like lice. The woodpecker's population is dependent on the health of the forest ecosystem and aquatic environments where it finds food.

ABSTRACT- Butea monosperma is a moderate sized deciduous tree, which is widely distributed throughout India, Burma and Ceylon, popularly known as 'dhak' or 'palash', commonly known as ‘Flame of forest’. Bearing many qualities it is rightly selected as the State Flower of Uttar Pradesh as well as Jharkhand. The study was undertaken during January 2015-2017 in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, India. For this study 15 sites were selected in Jhansi area. Observations were done from 6:00 am to 10:00 am and 3:00 pm to 7 pm. Direct observations were made using Bushnell Falcon 10x50 mm Binocular. The study was supported with photographs taken by 7 D Canon SLR Camera. Observations indicated that the bird species were attracted towards the flowers of Palash. The birds were also used the trees of nesting and roosting. A total of 70 bird species belonging to 27 families were associated with Palash either for feeding, nesting or roosting. The maximum species (12) belonged to family Corvidae followed by Sturnidae (6), Columbidae (5), Musciapidae (5) and Sylviindae (5). It was concluded that the State flower of Uttar Pradesh is obligatory for the local bird community. Initiatives have been taken to create awareness amongst the local people with the help of press media. The conservation of the existing plant species and the plantation of more trees particularly in educational institutes are important. Butea monosperma is very dry resistant and helps in controlling soil erosion. Therefore planting and managing the tree will be beneficial for local farmers also.

"When trees burn, they leave the smell of heartbreak in the air." Biodiversity is all the different kinds of life you’ll find in one area—the variety of animals, plants, fungi, and even microorganisms like bacteria that make up our natural world. Each of these species and organisms work together in ecosystems, like an intricate web, to maintain balance and support life. Biodiversity supports everything in nature that we need to survive: food, clean water, medicine, and shelter.

The document discusses biodiversity, flora, and fauna found in India. It notes that India is home to a wide variety of plant and animal species due to its varying climate and habitats. However, many species are now endangered, vulnerable, or extinct due to habitat loss, invasive species, climate change, pollution, overhunting, and development projects. Conservation of forests and wildlife is important for ecological balance, economic benefits, and maintaining biodiversity, yet forest cover in India has significantly declined. The document outlines strategies that can help conserve remaining forests and wildlife, including reserved forests, protected areas, reforestation, controlling forest fires, and community involvement in protection efforts like Project Tiger.

Aquatic macrophytes functions in several ways in water bodies, they are critical to Niger Delta inland waters because they enhance the physical structure of the habitat which serves as living space for small aquatic animals and play a vital role in fisheries production. Macrophytes play an important role in the aquatic environment but unfortunately very little attention is being directed towards the conservation of these aquatic resources and they can get out of control and create problems when they are not properly managed. This paper examines common aquatic macrophytes in Niger Delta in Nigeria with emphasis on benefits, problems and also proffers best practices for adequately managing the macrrophytes in Niger Delta inland waters.

It gets very helpful as we can understand about how to conserve our Enviornment and what is all about Forest and Wildlife.

The document discusses wildlife habitat management and conservation. It begins by defining wildlife and wildlife management. Wildlife management aims to manipulate habitat to improve conditions for wildlife through practices like conservation. The document outlines different habitat types including biomes, stages of habitat succession, and the basic requirements of food, cover, water and space for wildlife. It provides examples of management practices that can be used for small areas of habitat, such as vegetation management, creating clearings, thinning areas, establishing food plots, providing water sources, and using carefully planned fires. The goal of habitat management is to provide for both specific wildlife species and species diversity.

This document discusses the importance of natural resources like forests, mangroves, wetlands, and sacred groves for science teaching and learning. It provides details on each resource, including their ecological and economic value. Forests store biodiversity and provide timber, fuelwood and nontimber forest products. Mangroves act as buffers between land and sea and support fisheries. Wetlands regulate floods and filter pollution while providing habitat. Sacred groves in India preserve biodiversity and local cultural practices. Conserving these natural resources through measures like reforestation and restricting overexploitation supports the environment, livelihoods and education.

This document discusses the importance of natural resources like forests, mangroves, wetlands, and sacred groves for science teaching and learning. It provides details on the definition, features, economic and ecological values of each resource. Forests store a large variety of life and provide timber, influence climate, and protect soil. Mangroves are salt-tolerant trees found along coasts that provide wood, filter water, and support wildlife. Wetlands are home to many species and store floodwater and filter pollution. Sacred groves are forests protected for religious significance that conserve biodiversity and support local communities. Conserving these natural resources through practices like reforestation and restricting development is important for environmental protection.
