Tiger conservation

  Tiger conservation Why we need tiger conservation?  In the year 1900 tiger population was about 1,00,000, but today census says 2608 to 3905 in the world.  There are eight recognized subspecies of tiger, five of which are living (Bengal, Amur, Indo-Chinese, Sumatran and South China tigers),  nearing extinction!!! Other three already extinct.  Which ruled earth for about 2 million   years.  WHY SHOULD WE SAVE TIGER? # Tiger play pivotal role in the health of the ecosystem. # Tigers constitute the top carnivores in the ecosystem and is at the apex of the food chain. # The removal of a top carnivore from an ecosystem can have an impact on the relative abundance of herbivore species within a guild. Time to conservation.  Time to act now.  Tiger conservation is an effort to preserve the tiger population and its natural habitat. Here are some ways to conserve tigers Protect habitats Secure large, biologically diverse forests and grasslands w...

  Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO): Introduction: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is the primary space agency of the Government of India. ISRO is responsible for the country's space program and is headquartered in Bengaluru, Karnataka. History: ISRO was established on August 15, 1969, with the vision of harnessing space technology for national development. The organization has since made significant contributions to the field of space research and has achieved numerous milestones. Objectives: The primary objectives of ISRO are: 1. To develop and apply space technology for national development. 2. To pursue space science research and exploration. 3. To provide space-based services for the benefit of society. Organizational Structure: ISRO is headed by a Chairman, who is also the Secretary to the Government of India in the Department of Space. The organization has several centers and units located across the country, each with its own specific area of focus. Ce...

Atom  Structure of Atom Diameter range: 62 pm (He) to 520 pm (Cs)  Electric charge: zero (neutral), or ion charge Mass range: 1.67×10−27 to 4.52×10−25 kg The atom is the basic building block of matter, and it consists of three main parts: 1. Protons: Positively charged particles that reside in the nucleus (center) of the atom. 2. Neutrons: Particles with no charge that reside in the nucleus along with protons. 3. Electrons: Negatively charged particles that orbit around the nucleus. Characteristics of Atoms Here are some key characteristics of atoms: 1. Atomic Number: The number of protons in an atom's nucleus, which determines the element of an atom. 2. Mass Number: The total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus. 3. Electron Configuration: The arrangement of electrons in an atom's orbitals. 4. Valence Electrons: The electrons in an atom's outermost energy level, which participate in chemical bonding. Types of Atoms Here are some types of atoms: 1. Neutra...

Trees our saviours

Trees our saviours Trees our saviours are one of the most vital components of our ecosystem, and their importance cannot be overstated. Here are some of the key reasons why trees are important: Environmental Importance 1. Oxygen Production: Trees produce oxygen through photosynthesis, which is essential for human and animal life. 2. Carbon Sequestration: Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change. 3. Soil Erosion Prevention: Tree roots hold soil in place, preventing erosion and landslides. 4. Water Cycle Regulation: Trees play a crucial role in regulating the water cycle, helping to maintain healthy watersheds and prevent flooding. 5. Air Purification: Trees help purify the air by removing pollutants and particulate matter. 6. Noise Reduction: Trees can act as a natural sound barrier, reducing noise pollution. 7. Climate Regulation: Trees provide shade, cooling the air through evapotranspiration, and blocking ...
