Ex-situ conservation

On October 29, 1929, a disastrous situation happened in the united states and the American stock market crashed abruptly, which people know as “Black Tuesday” (Martin). It caused a lot of problems for the American citizens. Furthermore, the stock market crash was not the only problem during the Great Depression. During the depression, over 9,000 banks failed and droughts caused farmers a lot of problems which caused the depression to start (Martin). Thus, many people struggled just to feed their…

laws was not felt right away but Franklin Roosevelt knew it would take some time. FDR pushed hard for a litter of new programs into existence, like the CCC (Civilian Conservation Camp), CWA (Civilian Works Administration), and WPA (Works Progress Administration). One of the most famous New Deal programs was the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), and these workers are credited improving dozens…

In an instance where an individual decides to take another’s life in order to preserve their own life might be under the assumption that their action is just based on necessity. However, the assumption would be false, a fact that has been proven in a number of court cases throughout history. In the case of Her Majesty the Queen v. Thomas Dudley & Edward Stephens (1884), Jeremy Bentham’s principal of utility presents a valid defense for the reasons that led to Crown choosing a guilty verdict. The…

The proposed research study seeks to determine whether external motivation impacts the treatment compliance of young adult outpatient substance abuse clients. Traditionally, qualitative research was viewed as the standard methodology for counseling related research; however, Good (p. 3) quantitative methods have been shown most effective in exploring the relationships among variables in humanistic research (Balkin, 2014). For the purposes of the proposed research, the relationship among…

1940s, and, almost laughably, the farmers ripped up the shelterbelt trees to plant more wheat and by using up not the soil but the water in the Ogallala aquifer, were able to become prosperous again. This in a way shows the transient nature of the conservation project, similar to the many projects and agencies of the New Deal…

Roosevelt and Congress passed the Soil Conservation Act of 1935 to better outline the farming techniques to prevent a recurrence of the Dust Bowl. Roosevelt also ordered the Civilian Conservation Corps to plant a large belt of over 200 million trees from Canada to Abilene, Texas as a way to break the wind and keep the soil and water in the soil in its place. Not only this, but the Roosevelt administration made an effort to better educate farmers on soil conservation and technique to decrease…

Adirondack Forest Preserve would henceforth be protected as ‘forever wild’. Early in the 20th century, recreation in the Adirondack Park increased drastically. With more human traffic and tourism, came an increase in demand of conveniences. The State Conservation Department (now the DEC) built boat docks, tent platforms, lean-tos, fire towers, and telephone and electric lines in response to this. With the opening of the Northway (I-87) in the mid 1960s, private landowners began to be pressured…

In conservation biology, genetic diversity is fundamental in understanding populations and their evolution. Conservationists analyze the individuals of a population and try to understand how such individuals may be affected by circumstances like loss of habitat, environmental changes, and exploitation, which are more often than not caused by human activities. In order to ensure the survival of many populations, researchers look at the genes and the characteristics inherited from one generation…

regions of Nepal are being conducted on regular basis (BCN, 2010). As in-situ conservation approach, 21 districts of Nepal covering an area of 39,122 sq. km are declared and managed as Diclofenac Free Zones, also known as Provisional VSZ (Paudel, 2012). Similarly, the community- based Vulture Safe Feeding Sites are established in six places of five districts (Paudel, 2012). As an approach of ex- situ conservation, Vulture Conservation Breeding Center has been set up within the premises of…

The Lincoln Park Zoo has many conservation projects in-situ and ex-situ. One of their extensive programs is the Serengeti Health Initiative (SHI).

The location that they focus on is Serengeti, Tanzania. The reason…
