  • Ecological Risk Assessment of Typical Plateau Lakes

    Ecological Risk Assessment of Typical Plateau Lakes

    E3S Web of Conferences 267, 01028 (2021) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202126701028 ICESCE 2021 Ecological Risk Assessment of Typical Plateau Lakes Yuyadong1.2*, Yankun2 1.School of Ecology and Environmental Science Yunnan University, China 2.The Ecological and Environmental Monitoring Station of DEEY in Kunming, China Abstract. Plateau lakes have significant ecological value. With economic development, lake pollution and ecological degradation have become increasingly prominent. There are many ecological risk assessment methods. This article combines four different ecological risk assessment methods including single-factor pollution index, geological accumulation index method, potential risk index method, and pollution load index method to analyze the heavy metal pollution in Yangzong seabed mud as comprehensively as possible. It shows that the results obtained by different ecological risk assessment methods are slightly different. The overall trends of the geological pollution index and the single-factor pollution index are similar. In terms of time, except for the two elements of mercury and cadmium, the contents of other heavy metals in 2019 are lower than in 2018, indicating that heavy metal pollution has decreased in 2019; from the perspective of spatial distribution, In 2018, the overall pollution level on the south side of Yangzonghai was higher than that in the central and northern regions of Yangzonghai . On the whole, whether it is the potential risk index or the appropriate pollution load index, the pollution level on the south side of Yangzonghai is higher than that in the central and northern areas of Yangzonghai, and the northern area has the least pollution. ecosystems is relatively reduced, which makes the economic development of plateau lake basins face severe 1 Introduction challenges.
  • Uganda and Rwanda: Shoebill Experience, Nyungwe’S Albertine Rift and Great Apes

    Uganda and Rwanda: Shoebill Experience, Nyungwe’S Albertine Rift and Great Apes

    MEGAFARI: Uganda and Rwanda: Shoebill experience, Nyungwe’s Albertine Rift and Great Apes 16 – 27 April 2010 (12 days), Leader: Keith Barnes, Custom trip Photos by Keith Barnes. All photos taken on this trip. The spectacular Shoebill was the star of the show in Uganda, and a much-wanted species by all. Introduction This was the second leg of the Megafari – a true trip of a lifetime for most of the participants. Our Tanzania leg had already been the most successful trip we had ever had, netting an incredible 426 bird species in only 11 days. The main aims of the Uganda and Rwanda leg was to see a Shoebill stalking in deep Papyrus swamps, score a gamut of rainforest birds in both the lowlands of Budongo and then also the impressive montane forests of the incredible Nyungwe NP, and to see primates and of course, the irrepressible great apes, Chimpanzee and Mountain Gorilla. Fortunately, we achieved all these aims, netting 417 bird species on this 12-day leg of the trip, as well as accumulating an incredible 675 bird species and 62 mammals in just over three-weeks of the Megafari. The Megafari was a boon for spectacular birds and we saw 51 species of bird of prey, 11 species of turaco, 11 species of kingfisher, 10 species of bee-eater, 12 species of hornbill, and 25 species of sunbird. We also saw the famous Big-5 mammals and had incredible encounters with Mountain Gorillas and Chimpanzees amongst 11 species of primates.

  • Water Resource Risk Assessment Based on Non-Point Source Pollution

    Water Resource Risk Assessment Based on Non-Point Source Pollution

    water Article Water Resource Risk Assessment Based on Non-Point Source Pollution Xiaodie Yuan and Zhang Jun * School of Architecture and Planning, Yunnan University, Kunming 650500, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: As one of the most important causes of water quality deterioration, NPS (non-point source) pollution has become an urgent environmental and livelihood issue. To date, there have been only a few studies focusing on NPS pollution conforming to the estimation, and the pollution sources are mainly concentrated in nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients. Unlike studies that only consider the intensity of nitrogen and phosphorus loads, the NPS pollution risk for the China’s Fuxian Lake Basin was evaluated in this study by using IECM (Improve Export Coefficient Model) and RUSLE (Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation) models to estimate nitrogen and phosphorus loads and soil loss and by using a multi-factor NPS pollution risk assessment index established on the basis of the data mentioned above. First, the results showed that the load intensity of nitrogen and phosphorus pollution in the Fuxian Lake Basin is low, so agricultural production and life are important sources of pollution. Second, the soil loss degree of erosion in the Fuxian Lake is mild, so topography is one of the most important factors affecting soil erosion. Third, the risk of NPS pollution in the Fuxian Lake Basin is at a medium level and its spatial distribution characteristics are similar to the intensity characteristics of nitrogen and phosphorus loss. Nitrogen, phosphorus, sediment, and mean concentrations are important factors affecting NPS pollution.

  • Birds and Mammals of Rwanda's National Parks

    Birds and Mammals of Rwanda's National Parks

    Rwanda Birds and mammals of Rwanda’s National Parks Rwanda is quite small, covering an area of around one fifth the size of England. Despite its small size the country is blessed with extensive areas of forest, lakes and swamps which in turn attract a wide species of birds and mammals. Rwanda is a wonderful destination for wildlife tourism and an excellent location to watch Mountain Gorillas. Our tour visits Akagera National Park, which has a mix of wetlands and forest, and the bird-rich Nyungwe Forest National Park. We expect to see almost 25 of the range-restricted Albertine Rift endemics. Birding within Rwanda is still in its infancy and this tour could well bring a few surprise species within the extensive forest systems. Days 1-2: We have a flight to Kigali the capital of Rwanda with arrival on Day 2.

    The Countermeasure Research of Sustainable Development in the Fuxian Lake Basin

    2021 4th International Conference on Interdisciplinary Social Sciences & Humanities (SOSHU 2021) The Countermeasure Research of Sustainable Development in the Fuxian Lake Basin Qingjuan Meng, Guangzhou Zhao, Yong Tang, Yuanlin Hu, Jie Li, Hongzhe Zhang, Zhifang Chen, Junjie Li, Zhenhua Song, Hailong Wang, Youlin Zhang Oxbridge College, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming, Yunnan, China, 650106 Keywords: The Countermeasure, Research of Sustainable Development, Fuxian Lake Abstract: The sustainable development of the Fuxian Lake Basin aims to maintain the sound and sustainable development of mountains, rivers, forests, croplands, lakes, and grasses in the basin and to coordinate the relationship of society, economy, environment, production, life, and ecological water utilization so that social economy in the basin can adapt to the carrying capacity of water resource environment to determine needs and development with rivers. Development is conducting in protection while protection is implementing in development, so as to strongly develop the circular economy. On the basis of the water environmental transition in the Fuxian Lake, this thesis analyzed the developmental status and existing problems of the Fuxian Lake Basin and put forward countermeasures from four aspects including ecological development, economic development, social development, and scientific development, hoping to provide theoretical support and practical experience of the sustainable development research for plateau lakes. The Fuxian Lake is situated in Yuxi City, Yunnan Province. It is the deep-water freshwater lake with the greatest water storage and also the only high-quality freshwater lake of China. The Fuxian Lake steps over Chengjiang, Jiangchuan, and Huaning, situated in the central part of five lakes(the Fuxian Lake, the Xingyun Lake, the Qilu Lake, Yangzong Lake, and Dianchi)(Figure 1).
  • 7. CET-Kunming

    7. CET-Kunming

    7. CET-Kunming a. Ken Tanaka, Summer 2019 Final Report Introduction ​ A good amount of Yalies on the Light Fellowship probably won't consider studying in Kunming. Some might not even know that Kunming exists. Others might think that Kunming, a city with a measly population of 6.2 million in far-off Yunnan province, isn't as fun to spend the summer at in comparison to glitzy Shanghai or iconic Beijing. Yet some more students might automatically choose a program like HBA - after all, HBA is abound with Yale students, and who wouldn't want to spend some time in China with people you already know from school? If you don't consider Kunming as a potential place to study at, I'm going to keep it real with you and say that you're making a big mistake. Choosing to study Chinese through CET-Kunming has been one of the greatest experiences of my college time, and I believe that CET-Kunming, while perhaps not as renown as PiB, HBA, or ICLP, is truly a hidden gem. My name is Ken Tanaka, and I'm a current junior (class of 2021) majoring in Global Affairs. I took a year of Chinese my junior year of high school (equivalent to L1 here), and then took CHNS120, CHNS 130, and CHNS140 my freshman spring through my sophomore spring. As I was not a freshman when considering studying abroad in China, I will admit that I was a little bit hesitant at first when considering study abroad - after all, many of my peers were applying for internships.
