  • World Population Day

    World Population Day

    World Population Day World Population Day (WPD) is an annual event, observed on July 11 every year, which seeks to raise awareness about global population issues. The event was established by the Governing Council of United Nation Development Programmer (UNDP) in 1989. It was inspired by the public interest on Five Billion Day on July 11, 1987, (approximately the date on which the World’s population reached Five Billion people). Need for Population Stabilization has increasingly become indispensible as population beyond the sustainable limit perpetuate poverty, child labour, school drop-outs, malnutrition, Infant Mortality & Morbidity, Maternal Mortality & Morbidity , proliferation of slums and a host of communicable diseases, besides creating a dangerous imbalance between resource, environment and population. Hence, the efforts towards Population Stabilization must be an integral element of development process in all countries, which is essential for ensuring a higher quality of life for people. As the problem is multifaceted, the solution also demands contribution from multiple departments particularly social welfare, education etc. The national theme of this year’s “World Population Day” is “Chhota Parivar- Sukhi Parivar” Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, GOI takes special initiative in observation of the WPD. Government of Delhi adopts guidelines & celebrates accordingly. The first fortnight (27 th June to 10 th July) is known as “Dampati Sampark Pakhwada” or Mobilization Fortnight wherein Behavioral Charge Communication activities like Health Talk, Focused Group Discussion, Role play, Nukkad Natak are organized in all the districts to enhance the awareness for Modern methods of contraception and adoption of Family Planning and small family norms. Second Fortnight (11 th -24 th July) is known as “Jansankhya Sthirtha Pakhwada” as Population Stabilization Fortnight wherein intensified service provision activities in the form of various NSV/ Tubectomy/ IUCD camps are organized at identified facilities across the state.

Conclusions Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketch Summary During Earth's history, species extinction has probably been caused by modifications of the physical environment after impacts such as meteorites or volcanic activity. On the contrary, the actual extinction of species is mainly a result of human activities, namely any form of land use that causes the conversion of vast areas to settlement, agriculture, and forestry, resulting in habitat destruction, degradation, and fragmentation, which are among the most important causes of species decline and extinction. The loss of biodiversity is unique among the major anthropogenic changes because it is irreversible. The importance of preserving biodiversity has increased in recent times. The global recognition of the alarming loss of biodiversity and the acceptance of its value resultedUNESCO in the Convention on Biologi – calEOLSS Diversity.

    World Fertility and Family Planning 2020 Highlights ST/ESA/SER.A/440 Department of Economic and Social Affairs Population Division World Fertility and Family Planning 2020 Highlights United Nations New York, 2020 The Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat is a vital interface between global policies in the economic, social and environmental spheres and national action. The Department works in three main interlinked areas: (i) it compiles, generates and analyses a wide range of economic, social and environmental data and information on which States Members of the United Nations draw to review common problems and take stock of policy options; (ii) it facilitates the negotiations of Member States in many intergovernmental bodies on joint courses of action to address ongoing or emerging global challenges; and (iii) it advises interested Governments on the ways and means of translating policy frameworks developed in United Nations conferences and summits into programmes at the country level and, through technical assistance, helps build national capacities. The Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs provides the international community with timely and accessible population data and analysis of population trends and development outcomes for all countries and areas of the world. To this end, the Division undertakes regular studies of population size and characteristics and of all three components of population change (fertility, mortality and migration). Founded in 1946, the Population Division provides substantive support on population and development issues to the United Nations General Assembly, the Economic and Social Council and the Commission on Population and Development. It also leads or participates in various interagency coordination mechanisms of the United Nations system.

Abstract A nation whose accurate and current population figure is uncertain cannot plan well. It is always threatening if a population keeps exploding without an observable increase in the resources available, and this has posed a serious challenge/worry to Calabarians and the world in general. This paper investigates the effects of population explosion on family standard of living in Calabar – Urban of Cross River State, Nigeria. The major objective of this paper is raising consciousness on the need to discuss population issues in order to proffer long lasting remedies to its effect on family standard of living, its management to guarantee economic sustainability, development and family wellbeing. The sources of data were primary and secondary. 102 semi – structured questionnaires were designed/administered, reviewed literature and interviews were used too.
  • Bhutan's Ecological Footprint Report 2014

    Bhutan's Ecological Footprint Report 2014

    Bhutan’s Ecological Footprint Report 2014 Gross National Happiness Commission, Royal Government of Bhutan in collaboration with Otago Polytechnic, New Zealand July, 2014 Ecological Footprint of Bhutan and its Regions 6 July, 2014 1 | P a g e Executive Summary This report provides the first step in determining the amount of required data that is currently available so that a detailed Ecological Footprinting (EF) analysis can carried out as and when required. The Ecological Footprint tool has been shown globally to be effective at providing a high level guidance on resource consumption and trends in resource demand. The EF uses consumption data and EF conversions to provide a single unit for all the goods and services consumed and the waste created, by a given population. Until now Bhutan’s EF has not been interrogated in detail. The following project uses two different sources of data to calculate Bhutan’s EF. The first results in an EF presented in local (Bhutan) hectares (bha), the second in global hectares (gha). The EF results of the following project show that Bhutan nationals are using less than half the country’s biocapacity. Of the total EF 70% is in energy land and a following 23% in crop land. The food EF is the largest component, totalling 40%, whilst services is close behind on 37%. The results are also compared to EF calculations for Bhutan provided by the renowned EF consultancy, Global Footprint Network (GFN). GFN also found that Bhutan is living within its biocapacity but there were stark differences with this report as it showed the firewood EF to be more than 50% of the available forested land biocapacity.

    Science Education International 30(4), 310-318 https://doi.org/10.33828/sei.v30.i4.8 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Intercultural Competence and Skills in the Biology Teachers Training from the Research Procedure of Ethnobiology Geilsa Costa Santos Baptista*, Geane Machado Araujo 1Department of Education, State University of Feira de Santana, Feira de Santana City, Bahia State, Brazil, 2Department of Biology, State University of Feira de Santana, Feira de Santana City, Bahia State, Brazil *Corresponding Author: [email protected] ABSTRACT We present and discuss the results of qualitative research based on a case study with biology undergraduate students from a public University of Bahia state, Brazil. The objective was to identify the influence of practical experiences involving ethnobiology applied to science teaching on intercultural dialogue into their initial training. To collect data, undergraduate students were asked to construct narratives revealing the influences of ethnobiology into their training as future teachers. Data were analyzed according to Bardin (1977) and supported by specific literature from the fields of science education and teaching. The thematic categories generated lead us to conclude that the undergraduates of biology teaching made reflections that allowed them to build opinions with meanings that should influence their pedagogical practices with intercultural dialogue. We recommend further studies involving ethnobiology and the training of biology teachers, with a larger sample of participants and the methodological and theoretical procedures of this science. Improvements could be made in biology teacher education curricula that encourage respect and consideration of cultural diversity. We highlight that it is imperative for teacher education courses to generate opportunities for on-site practical experience, in addition to the theory used in the classroom.

  • Nomadic-Colonial Life Strategies Enable Paradoxical Survival and Growth Despite Habitat Destruction Zhi Xuan Tan1, Kang Hao Cheong2*

    Nomadic-Colonial Life Strategies Enable Paradoxical Survival and Growth Despite Habitat Destruction Zhi Xuan Tan1, Kang Hao Cheong2*

    RESEARCH ARTICLE Nomadic-colonial life strategies enable paradoxical survival and growth despite habitat destruction Zhi Xuan Tan1, Kang Hao Cheong2* 1Yale University, New Haven, United States; 2Engineering Cluster, Singapore Institute of Technology, Singapore, Singapore Abstract Organisms often exhibit behavioral or phenotypic diversity to improve population fitness in the face of environmental variability. When each behavior or phenotype is individually maladaptive, alternating between these losing strategies can counter-intuitively result in population persistence–an outcome similar to the Parrondo’s paradox. Instead of the capital or history dependence that characterize traditional Parrondo games, most ecological models which exhibit such paradoxical behavior depend on the presence of exogenous environmental variation. Here we present a population model that exhibits Parrondo’s paradox through capital and history- dependent dynamics. Two sub-populations comprise our model: nomads, who live independently without competition or cooperation, and colonists, who engage in competition, cooperation, and long-term habitat destruction. Nomads and colonists may alternate behaviors in response to changes in the colonial habitat. Even when nomadism and colonialism individually lead to extinction, switching between these strategies at the appropriate moments can paradoxically enable both population persistence and long-term growth.
