Abstract: Observations on the Indian Spiny-tailed Lizard Saara hardwickii (Gray, 1827) were undertaken in near Ramdeora (Pokran) Rajasthan, India,which is a satellite area to protect the GIB and other wildlife of the region . The field study was undertaken from March to December, 2014. Data collection was carried out by Direct Observation Technique. Direct observation techniques allow for a more systematic, structured process, using well-designed observation record forms which providing a richer understanding of the subject. The study revealed that the area is one of the preferable habitats for the species. The Human beings are the major threats for spiny tailed lizard. The tribals......

Abstract: The ship breaking and recycling industry (SBRI) is significant for Bangladesh's economy, but it poses safety and environmental risks due to hazardous materials stored in ships and inadequate disposal measures. Therefore, regulatory frameworks for SBRI in Bangladesh are crucial for worker safety and environmental protection. This study critically examines the extent to which environmental and occupational safety concerns originated from the SBRI has been addressed.....

Abstract: Agroforestry is an important carbon sequestration strategy because of carbon storage potential in its multiple plant species and soil as well as its applicability in agricultural lands and in reforestation. The study was conducted in selected coffee-based agroforestry farms in Gleno, Ermera District, Timor Leste to determine the energy used in the management of coffee-based agroforestry farms. The TEI (total energy input) of each agroforestry coffee farm was derived from direct, indirect, and embedded energy inputs. For coffee-based agroforestry....

Abstract: This study attempts to evaluate optimum cost of air pollution (PM10) (Particulate Matter with diameter less than or equal to 10 micrometer) control measures to attain an environmental standard of Dhaka city and to compare with health cost and thus to find out most economical way to achieve Bangladesh national standard of PM10 pollution. This study will also show which one is more feasible and economic between to reduce PM10 emission to national standard for avoiding respective health hazard and to invest in health care due to PM10 exposure. For this purpose at first various sources of PM10 emission of Dhaka city are identified and emission quantity for individual.....

Abstract: In the recent time, natural disasters had created environmental consciousness that the immediate environment needs proper attention. Plastic pollution in its guises, continues to dominate international discourse agenda and headlines all across the globe. The factories, waste management organizations and the government encourage recycling of wastes in order to reduce its influence in causing natural disasters, most especially flood. These waste Plastic damage the environment, cripple the economy and humans. The erosions, wind, and weathering, breakdown this plastic into smaller pieces, if this pieces of litter don't affect something each day, it becomes macro plastics and the research shows that it goes into the food we eat.The idea of recycling discarded materials for creativity is no longer new. However, what is new is the rediscovery of materials discovered and new uses or expressive possibilities of materials earlier discovered. Turning wastes to tremendous works of aesthetic is now a global phenomenon. This paper reveals that one of the many ways of recycling plastic or finding alternative uses for waste plastic that may damage the environment is to find creative and artistic use for them..

Abstract: The main aim of this research work is to review the importance, problems and strategies of National Parks in Old Oyo National Park, Oyo State. National park is regarded as the cornerstone of biodiversity conservation globally. Parks reflect a nation's desire to preserve for generations unborn. In a world of rapid environmental change, parks and protected areas are ideally represent islands of stability places where environmental changes are dictated by the rhythms of nature rather than by human demography and economic demands. Nigeria's biodiversity is one of the richest in Africa. The Federal Ministry of Environment Fourth National Biodiversity Report (2010) opined that Nigeria's geographic features endows her with one of the richest biodiversity in African continent.......

Abstract: More home sewage and industrial effluents are entering harbour waterways as a result of Visakhapatnam's rapid industrialization and urbanisation. Five stations were used for a year-long study on the effects of nutrient pollution and the evaluation of nutrient pollution on the quality of waters in the Visakhapatnam harbor. The eutrophication in these waters was accelerated by the nutrient enrichment. The inner harbor waters become more stagnant as a result of the outer harbor's construction delaying the tidal flushings. The distribution of these nutrients over the study period implies a flow of surface waters that were pollutant-rich towards the sea. Nutrient index has been used to quantitatively determine the degree of nutrient eutrophication in the harbor waters (I).........
