You’ll Be Active by carefully walking outdoors (observing social distancing) keeping your mind busy and occupying your time looking for signs of these elusive mammals. Deer are quite common, even in urban areas, but spotting them can be difficult. We can Connect with deer by opening up our senses and empathising with the way they live their lives. Deer have many of the same needs as us – how do they find food, water and shelter in Cumbernauld? How do their senses compare to ours? Do they see the world in the same way we do? We can Keep Learning, there are hundreds of web pages, book and tv programmes dedicated to deer. Deer have been part of human culture for thousands of years, we can learn what our ancestors thought of them and how we can live alongside them today. Although they are secretive and hard to see Deer area actually all around us, and are vital to the ecosystem we all share but we rarely Take Notice and look very closely at them. It’s amazing how much we miss out in nature when we just walk through without paying attention to what is around us.

  • World Atlas of Biodiversity
    WORLD ATLAS OF BIODIVERSITY EARTH'S LIVING RESOURCES IN THE 21st CENTURY ^ > (\ X >r BRIAN GROOMBRIDGE and MARTIN D. JENKINS UNEP WCMC World Atlas of Biodiversity addresses the remark- ible growth in concern at all levels for living things and the environment and the increased appreciation ' the links between the state of ecosystems and the state of humankind. Building on a wealth of re- search and analysis by the conservation community worldwide, this book provides a comprehensive and accessible view of key global issues in biodiver- sity. It outlines some of the broad ecological relationships between humans and the rest of the iterial world and summarizes information on the health of the planet. Opening with an outline of some fundamental aspects of material cycles and energy flow in the biosphere, the book goes on to discuss the expansion of this diversity through geo- logical time and the pattern of its distribution over the surface of the Earth, and analyzes trends in the condition of the main ecosystem types and the species integral to them.

WWF/Mattias Klum INTRODUCTION "The forest is a peculiar organism of unlimited kindness and benevolence that makes no demands for its sustenance and extends generously the products of its live activity; it offers protection to all beings offering shade even to those who destroy it," Buddha. Forests are home to many important and spectacular wildlife, and in some areas, to people. They are our source of food, medicine, building materials for our homes, and resources for trade. We often use the genetic materials that the forests hold to improve commercial strains. Forests also provide us with a range of benefits which are often difficult to quantify in financial terms. Besides protecting soil and watersheds, forests also absorb carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas which contributes to global warming. Other intangible values of forests include recreational, aesthetic, historical, cultural, educational and spiritual values. Roughly 16 per cent of the world’s forests, or about 565 million ha of forests, are in Asia/Pacific. These forests harbour some of the world’s rarest and unique animals and plants -- the tiger, giant panda, Asian elephant, orang utan, rhino, Rafflesia (the world’s biggest flower) and the many variety of orchids.

  • Summary of Theses So Far Completed by Masters Students Supported by the Darwin Initiative Project on Endemic Annamite Ungulates 17-008
    Summary of theses so far completed by masters students supported by the Darwin Initiative Project on Endemic Annamite Ungulates 17-008. NB: For theses completed at a UK university, the abstract from the thesis is included. Theses completed at Vietnamese universities do not typically include an abstract and a summary is provided by the Darwin Project Officer. Nguyen Trong Dong (2011) Use of forest mammals in the Pu Huong Nature Reserve. Master’s Thesis in Zoology, Vinh University, Nghe An Province, Vietnam. (In Vietnamese). Thesis summary by NMW This thesis aims to describe the composition of the forest mammal community in the nature reserve, to enumerate different wild animal products and methods of hunting of wild mammals, assess the impact of communities on wildlife resources in the nature reserve and evaluate the status of proposed management measures. The work is based on fieldwork from January to June of 2010 in all 5 districts around the nature reserve (Quỳ Châu , Quế Phong, Tương Dương, Con Cuông & Quỳ Hợp). In each district surveys were conducted in one village (2 in Quy Hop) and in the district town. Field surveys, including spotlighting, are also conducted. The thesis lists the mammal species occurring in the reserve, based on literature review, and describes which species are used by local people, and for what, on the basis of interviews conducted by the author. Use is confirmed for 48% of the species known from the reserve, however it should be noted that this is certain to be an underestimate because use of many specific species, especially bats, rodents and ‘insectivores’ cannot be confirmed through interviews.
