...Wildlife Conservation Adam Burdick Bryant & Stratton College NSCI 280 Professor Wooten 10/20/2013 Human beings are considered to be the most advance species on the planet. This also makes us the most intrusive species on the planet. We effect our environment more than any other living creature. Our populations continue to grow exponentially each year and as they do we intrude on other species habitats even more. Considering we are the most advanced species it is our responsibility to ensure the safety of all other species and do what we can to shorten the endangered species list. The conservation of wildlife is an incredibly important goal that all people should take part in. “Successful species conservation has often been defined as simply the avoidance of extinction” (Redford 2011.) This is the most important goal of anyone interested in wildlife conservation. It is important for us as a species to take responsibility and make the effort to keep other species away from extinction. Wildlife conservation is not something that can only be handled by professional members of organizations. Anyone can do their part to help protect a species in need. In some cases it is as simple as refraining from harmful activities such as hunting for sport. Hunting is a major conservation concern (Selvan & Veeraswami, p11.) If people raise awareness about how hunting effects the populations of large bodied animals perhaps we can help to reduce the damage done to these...

...Biodiversity Paper Biology as a science concerned with living organisms, said organism’s function, origin, structure, and distribution is defined through numerous subdivisions and branches. Conservation biology is a branch, which deals with certain factors threatening biodiversity as well as the preservation of genetic and biologic diversity of animal and plant species. Threatened, endangered, and extinct species are only some factors that may influence biodiversity. Any given species has to meet a certain criteria to suit the previously named terms. Conservation biologists are concerned with numerous species because of said species’ influence on the interrelation within their ecosystems, and the interruption of such ecosystem when the numbers of a certain species are drastically decreasing. Conservation biology is concerned with the maintenance of species, their genetic variation, ecosystems, and communities within such ecosystems. Biodiversity includes “The variety of life and its processes, including the variety of living organisms, the genetic difference among them, and the communities and ecosystem in which they occur” (U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, 2004, p. 1). Even though the term “species” is complex, and some definitions may differ slightly from others “A species is often defined as a group of individuals that actually or potentially interbreed in nature” (Berkley University, n.d., p. 1). Therefore, a species is defined as the greatest gene pool that can...

...Business Case Research Paper IST 7020 Analysis, Modeling and Design Wilmington University Business Case Research Paper Business Case A business case is a document which is used to help in starting a task or a project. It can be in any format of text, presentation or a discussion. A basic justification to implement the given task can also be called as a Business Case. Typically, a Business Case would be documented for future reference or sometimes stated orally for better understanding. It usually depends on the business ideology and its practical implementation(TechTarget, n.d.). Before thinking of building a business case, an individual should understand thoroughly the core of the project. It may take huge efforts in achieving this goal but a rough estimate of the same would be beneficiary(TechTarget, n.d.). Example: If the manager of a sunglasses store notices that the business is very slow in the winter, he can tell the owner by preparing a business case for store renovation in winter with winter stuff along with the sunglasses. It might create some good business(TechTarget, n.d.). Method in developing business case: * Complete Overview and Thorough Analysis: While submitting a business case, the analysis done should be covered all around in order to achieve a better result of the Project and a feasible Solution to overcome the same(TechTarget, n.d.). * Validating if the business case built is actually stating the exact problem and thereby resolving...

...project, initial plans for mitigating each high level risk, and subsequence results. It usually includes: • A unique identifier for each risk • A description of each risk and how it will affect the project • An assessment of the likelihood it will occur and the possible seriousness/impact if it does occur (low, medium, high) • A grading of each risk according to a risk assessment table (refer to table 1) • Who is responsible for managing the risk • An outline of proposed mitigation actions (preventative and contingency). The Register should be maintained throughout the project and will change regularly as existing risks are re-graded in the light of the effectiveness of the mitigation strategy, and new risks are identified. In smaller projects the risk register is often used as the risk management plan. Why would you develop a risk register? A risk register is developed to: • Provide a useful tool for managing and reducing the risks identified before and during the project • Document risk reduction and management strategies • Provide those involved with or supporting the activity with a documented framework from which risk status can be reported • Ensure the communication of risk management issues to key stakeholders • Provide a mechanism for seeking and acting on feedback to encourage the involvement of the key stakeholders • Identify the actions required for implementation of the risk management plan and associated...

...CDC UNIFIED PROCESS PRACTICES GUIDE PROJECT SCOPE PLANNING Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide guidance on the practice of Project Scope Planning and to describe the practice overview, requirements, best practices, activities, and key terms related to these requirements. In addition, templates relevant to this practice are provided at the end of this guide. Practice Overview Each project’s product and/or service is unique and requires its own careful balance of practices, processes, tools and techniques, etc. to ensure the required work is completed as agreed upon by key project stakeholders. The sum of these along with the product and/or service to be delivered by the project is known as the project’s scope. Getting key parties to agree upon what is the scope of the project’s work is known as project scope planning. The practice of project scope planning is a key management practice for planning and delivering projects successfully. Project scope includes high level features or capabilities that the business team has committed to delivering to a customer as well as those they have not committed to delivering. Project scope is often defined by executive sponsor, steering committee, project sponsor, and the project’s customer with input from other appropriate stakeholders. Understanding and analyzing who project stakeholders are is an important early step in the scope planning process. Project stakeholders are persons and/or organizations such...
