Type the abstract of the document here. The abstract is typically a short summary of the contents of the document.] 2012 Nishant Aishwarya Roll Number - 26 Introduction Wildlife includes all non-domesticated plants, animals and other organisms. Domesticating wild plant and animal species for human benefit has occurred many times all over the planet, and has a major impact on the environment, both positive and negative. Wildlife can be found in all ecosystems. Deserts, forests, rain forests, plains, grasslands, and other areas including the most developed urban sites, all have distinct forms of wildlife. While the term in popular culture usually refers to animals that are untouched by human factors, most scientists agree that wildlife around the world is impacted by human activities. Humans have historically tended to separate civilization from wildlife in a number of ways including the legal, social, and moral sense. This has been a reason for debate throughout recorded history. Religions have often declared certain animals to be sacred, and in modern times concern for the natural environment has provoked activists to protest the exploitation of wildlife for human benefit or entertainment. Literature has also made use of the traditional human separation from wildlife. Foods, Pets, Traditional Medicine:...

...% annual growth. Promotion of a destination; a city, hotel or resort as a MICE venue requires infrastructural facilities backed by support services. Infrastructural facilities involve connectivity, water supply, power, telecommunications etc. at macro level and at micro level facilities such as technical services, display, manpower, computer & audiovisual etc . The facilities at the macro level are provided by the government, when it identifies a city as MICE destination. Government of India (2007) plans to develop golden triangle cities of Delhi, Agra & Jaipur as MICE destinations. Further micro level facilities are created by hotels, travel agents, airlines, event management companies, convention centres, transport companies etc. This paper attempts to assess MICE venues and services of NCR region through a survey of hotels, travel agents, event management companies, conference venues and airlines as these are the prime players in the organization of MICE events.

May 2007 Wildlife Biology Conservation of leopard in Ayubia National Park, Pakistan Director: Dr. Daniel H. Pletscher Large carnivores are important for biodiversity and ecosystem function, yet are very difficult to conserve because of their large home ranges and conflicts with humans. I examined human-leopard conflicts in and near Ayubia National Park, Pakistan, to provide management recommendations for the conservation of leopards. Persecution of leopards by humans has been on the rise primarily due to depredation on livestock and risk to human lives. Since 1989, 16 humans have either been killed or injured in and around Ayubia National Park while leopards faced 44 human-caused mortalities during the same period. I examined the management strategy adopted by NWFP Wildlife Department for leopard conservation, identify gaps, and suggest possible management...

... This is a good gesture as it provides a basis on which to protect local systems of innovation through granting them intellectual property rights, whenever such innovations are discovered. But what is the link between Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) and eco-tourism? As discussed in this paper, ecotourism - a fairly new concept emerged in the late 1980s to provide a firm basis for sustainable tourism principles. Indeed the emergence of ecotourism - which is arguably supposed to be sustainable was necessary given that conventional tourism popularly referred to as ‘mass tourism’ was becoming unsustainable and hence leading to high negative impacts/costs than earlier thought. As a result of this the world was begging for sustainable tourism development tourism that can last and benefit future generations the way it has benefited the currents ones. It should be noted here that sustainable tourism just like sustainable development hinges on four major pillars, namely: social, economic, environmental and cultural pillars. Ecotourism being a component of sustainable tourism is therefore analysed along theses pillars in terms of how it relates with Indigenous Knowledge System in Kenya. This paper attempts to discuss the definitions and concepts related to IKS and ecotourism, then...

...Management and Leadership Paper Kathryn Bond December 13, 2010 BUS330 Israr Hayath San Diego Zoo is this paper’s subject for discussing leadership and management within the company, which is a non-profit organization. Leadership is leading by way of exemplary examples and instilling confidence in the audience. Leaders are working for the good of the Company. Leaders are good trainers since they want to pass the information on to trainees to avoid mishaps. Leaders change things like conventional believes and practices. Leaders are knowledgeable in their field. The Zoological Society of San Diego has existed 90 years. It is now referred to as Global Zoo. There many leaders at the zoo. There is a Board of Directors with 12 members. The leaders at this level are concerned with the Zoo’s mission which is conservation, education, and recreation organization dedicated to the reproduction, protection and exhibition animals, plants, and their habitats (Mission Statement). These are the leaders that stay abreast of environmental changes. At the administrative level leadership may not be so strong or evident to all zoo employees since there is rarely direct contact with them (Halogen). In 2006, the Society brought in approximately 100 million dollars for the first time. This level of revenue drove the society to re-evaluate its old practices and to create a new strategic plan that would modernize their way of doing business. One of the key elements of the...

...The Place of Assistant County Commissioners in Land Administration in Kenya Position Paper Introduction The new Constitutional Dispensation has radically altered land administration in Kenya. Through Chapter 5, the Constitution of Kenya (CoK), 2010 delineates the normative principles that are to guide land administration in Kenya. These principles, which have been expanded upon by subsequent legislation made in pursuance of Chapter 5, identify the roles and responsibilities of various authorities involved in land administration. It should be noted that the entire gamut of laws that regulated transactions in land have either been repealed or amended to accommodate these principles of land administration. These laws include the Indian Transfer of Property Act of 1892, the Land Titles Act, the Registered Land Act, and the Government Lands Act, and the Registration of Titles Act. The new laws enacted in their place are: the Land Act (2012), the Land Registration Act, and the National Land Commission Act. Land administration is conducted under the auspices of public administration. Prior to the 2010 Constitution, land administration was handled by the Ministry of Lands as well as the Provincial Administration. The Cok, 2010 envisages that land administration should be streamlined and conducted by a specialized body- the National Land Commission. Drawing from the Sessional Paper No. 3 of 2007, the National Land Commission is expected to implement the land policy in collaboration...

...populations in the eastern Canadian Arctic (including Western Hudson Bay) have reported seeing more bears near settlements during the open-water period in recent years. In a fifth ecologically similar population, no changes have yet been reported by Inuit hunters. These observations, interpreted as evidence of increasing population size, have resulted in increases in hunting quotas. However, long-term data on the population size and body condition of polar bears in Western Hudson Bay, as well as population and harvest data from Baffin Bay, make it clear that those two populations at least are more likely to be declining, not increasing. While the ecological details vary in the regions occupied by the five different populations discussed in this paper, analysis of passive-microwave satellite imagery beginning in the late 1970s indicates that the sea ice is breaking up at progressively earlier dates, so that bears must fast for longer periods during the open-water season. Thus, at least part of the explanation for the appearance of more bears near coastal communities and hunting camps is likely that they are searching for alternative food sources in years when their stored body fat depots may be depleted before freeze-up, when they can return to the sea ice to hunt seals again. We hypothesize that, if the climate continues...
