Today's talk:
What you learn from the past and what you intend to do in the future actually shows how wise you are.
Climate Change Climate is defined as t he average weather condition, characterized by long-term statistics (mean values, variances, and probabilities of extreme values) of typically three decades , for the meteorological elements in a given are a . Climate change is described as the change in the climate of an area as a result of anthropogenic and natural disorders such as the depletion of the ozone layer and the greenhouse effect. Changes in climatic conditions of an area affects species and ecosystem composition function directly ( changes in temperature, precipitation , water temperature, and sea level s ) and indirectly (changes in the intensity and frequency of wildfires) which has a great effect on the biodiversity of such an area. Climate change is not one-sided . Both terrestrial and marine ecosystems are vulnerable to climate changes . Species have shown modification in their morphology, physiology, and behavior due to changes in climatic variables. Huma
Living for others: A rule of Nature by By Ayodele Precious Ayowale Plants take in Carbon-dioxide[CO 2 ] to manufacture food and give off Oxygen[O 2 ] as a by product through the process called Photosynthesis. Animals take in Oxygen[ O 2 ] to break down food and give off Carbon-dioxide[ CO 2 ] as a by product through the process called Respiration. Micro-organisms play a vital role in decomposition of Organic materials. All these are natural processes. T h e existence of life predominantly depends on the radiation, carbon dioxide level, ambient temperature, evaporative power of the atmosphere, solar and water availability , and inorganic nutrients . All these are a part of nature and its processes . “The existence of life is greatly affected by human-induced and natural factors” N atural catastrophes ( v olcanic eruption, hurricanes, etc.) are also another significant part of nature. Biodiversity loss ( e xtinction of Browser in grassland through hunting might
Birdwatching A natur e based recreational activity Birdwatching , or birding , is a form of wildlife observation in which the observation of birds is a recreational activity or citizen science . It can be done with the naked eye, through a visual enhancement device like binoculars and telescopes , by listening for bird sounds, or by watching public webcams . Birdwatching often involves a significant auditory component, as many bird species are more easily detected and identified by ear than by eye. Most birdwatchers pursue this activity for recreational or social reasons, unlike ornithologists , who engage in the study of birds using formal scientific methods. History of birdwatching The early interest in observing birds for their aesthetic rather than utilitarian (mainly food) value is traced to the late 18th century in the works of Gilbert White , Thomas Bewick , George Montagu and John Clare . The study of birds and natural history in general became increas
