Locals have discovered the natural beauty and recreational opportunities of Nathan Benderson Park, a 600-acre community park located near the border of Manatee and Sarasota counties. On weekends when no formal events are scheduled, the park is enjoyed by locals who bike, walk, fish, birdwatch, and spend time with their families around the sparkling 400-acre lake. The park has been transformed from a former borrow pit into an attractive public space with amenities like walking trails, picnic areas, and boat launches, and is frequently used by residents looking for a scenic and healthy outdoor environment.Newfoundland And Labrador

The document discusses Newfoundland and Labrador's deep cultural connection to cod fishing over 500 years. Cod stocks dramatically declined in the 1960s and a moratorium on cod fishing was implemented in 1992. After 15 years, cod populations still had not recovered. A former biologist is now experimentally farming cod in hopes of helping coastal communities. Early results show farmed cod have thicker, firmer, whiter fillets. As global seafood demand rises, aquaculture is predicted to supply over half the world's seafood by 2030.Wwoof speech slewis

The document discusses WWOOF (Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms), an organization that allows volunteers to work on organic farms in exchange for lodging and meals. It provides an inexpensive way for travelers to experience different cultures while learning about organic farming practices. Volunteers can choose from over 6,000 host farms in dozens of countries by obtaining a WWOOF membership. In addition to hands-on experience, volunteers gain a more affordable international experience through cultural immersion and new friendships.In pictures madagascar

Madagascar's natural resources are being depleted at an alarming rate to sustain the livelihoods of its population. Over 70% of Malagasy rely on the country's depleted forest systems for fuel, medicine and other needs. As resources diminish, many people are being forced to overexploit the land through activities like slash and burn farming, gravel extraction, deforestation for fuel and construction. This unsustainable use of land and resources threatens both the environment and people's health.McNabb, P - Portfolio Example D

Conquest Beach in Queen Anne's County, Maryland was restored using an innovative living shoreline method to preserve the beach that was threatened by erosion into the Chester River. The project was funded through a partnership of local and state organizations. The new shoreline consists of cobblestones covered with sand and anchored by marsh grass, designed to migrate inland with rising water levels instead of being eroded. Initial estimates for restoration costs were over $1 million but the final cost was $271,473, split between the county and a conservation organization. The beach is now part of a county park open by reservation.2016 photo contest voting

Bobcats are carnivorous mammals that live in North America. They have fur, nurse their young with milk, and mostly eat rabbits and hares. Bobcats are excellent climbers and swimmers, and have adaptations like tufts of hair on their ears to improve hearing and a stubby tail to help them balance in trees. While bobcats live in various habitats like forests, swamps, mountains and deserts, they are most commonly found in mountain forests within the understory layer of vegetation. Threats to bobcats include hunting and trapping for their fur by farmers seeking to protect livestock. Conservation efforts involve symbolic adoptions that provide funding to help protect wild bobcat populations.English 10-1 - Man vs. Nature: Butterflies Make Better Canaries - Assignment 2

The woodland caribou is a subspecies of caribou found in boreal forests and mountain regions across Canada. Several Canadian populations are listed as endangered or threatened under the Species at Risk Act. The primary threat to woodland caribou is habitat loss due to human activities such as mining, logging, and oil and gas development which have made the landscape more accessible to predators like wolves. Parks Canada is working to implement conservation actions to protect the threatened southern mountain population of woodland caribou.Ohop Tree Planting Pre-Trip Presentation Fall 2015

Upon arriving in the Salt Lake Valley, Brigham Young declared "This is the place!" after his sick wagon. The Mormon pioneers worked to farm the land but one year crickets threatened their harvest until seagulls, summoned by prayer, ate the crickets and saved the crops. The pioneers also discovered a hot spring that provided healing properties to those who bathed there. Brigham Young led the pioneers with a stern hand and gave chats to encourage improvement.Field trip sendang biru, muncar and perancak (Bali) by Lida Pet-Soede

Christmas Island is home to the famous Christmas Island Red Crab migration. The red crabs play an important role in the island's ecosystem by eating vegetation and recycling nutrients. Their annual migration involves over 100 million crabs moving to the ocean to breed, lasting up to 18 days. To prevent road deaths during this time, wildlife crossings have been constructed under roads for the crabs to safely pass. Conservation efforts like road closures help further protect the unique red crab migration.Rachel Carson

This document discusses the impacts of data center growth on Virginia's clean energy future and outlines potential solutions. Key points:
- Data center energy demand is growing exponentially in Virginia and straining the electric grid, requiring hundreds of acres of utility-scale solar per building.
- This threatens decades of land, wildlife, water, and air quality conservation efforts in the state. One data center can require 300-900 acres of solar development.
- Dominion's 2023 integrated resource plan forecasts doubling of peak electric load by 2037 due largely to data centers, and proposes billions for new gas plants and transmission lines rather than renewable energy.
- Solutions discussed include accelerating the transition to distributed and utility-scaleData-Center-Diesel-Generators-Loudoun-Information-Session-3-28-23.pdf
