list of countries There is a list of dependent territories, dependent areas should be removed from this list and moved to their proper place. The below list contains both states and dependent territories, see country, state, nation state for some explanation of the difference between these. This is an alphabetical list of the countries of the world. www.fact-library.com /list_of_countries.html

THE BIOLOGICAL CASE FOR ENHANCING THE CONSERVATION STATUS OF LAMBUSANGO AND KAKENAUWE FORESTS A taxon is Near-threatened when it has been evaluated and does not qualify for an of the categories Critical, Endangered, Vulnerable, Conservation Dependent or Data Deficient, but is close to qualifying for one of the threatened categories. Conservation of the Lambusango and Kakenauwe forests therefore would result in a good cross section of the lowland endemic bird fauna being included within the boundaries as well as a few more montane species. Following this initial work, which demonstrated the value of the Lambusango and Kakenauwe forests for birds, a long term monitoring programme was established in 2001 to assess changes in annual abundance of some of the forest dependent species. www.opwall.com /2004%20biological%20case%20for%20Lambusango.htm

Energy Transformation on a Roller Coaster Kinetic energy - the energy of motion - is dependent upon the mass of the object and the speed of the object. Potential energy - the energy of vertical position - is dependent upon the mass of the object and the height of the object. The work-energy bar charts for the coaster car illustrate that the car's energy is transformed from potential to kinetic and vice versa; yet the total amount of mechanical energy remains the same during the course of the motion. www.glenbrook.k12.il.us /gbssci/phys/mmedia/energy/ce.html   (931 words)

Wetlands: A Key Link in Watershed Management Thus, the quality of a wetland is dependent on the water flowing into them...and the pollutants that the water carries with it from activities in the watershed. Wetlands are identified and classified according to the types of plants, soils, hydrology or patterns of water, and fish and/or wildlife communities present. The formation and role of a wetland is driven by its location in the watershed, the presence of water during significant periods, soil quality and, ultimately, plants and animals. www.ctic.purdue.edu /KYW/Brochures/Wetlands.html   (931 words)

The Physics Classroom In accord with Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of an object is dependent upon both force and mass. According to the law, the force exerted by object 1 upon object 2 is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force exerted by object 2 upon object 1. Newton's third law of motion is naturally applied to collisions between two objects. www.physicsclassroom.com /Class/momentum/U4L2a.html   (1392 words)

Spooneys -Threatened Species conservation Act 1995 The cockatoo species namedare also dependent on casuarina and banksia species for food Reserve is to be developed and managed in order to provide for the conservation of its ecological and visual values and to allow for the use and enjoyment of activities, which are compatible with the environmental protection activities. Rehabilitation is needed particularly in the vicinity of the boat ramp and on the hillside where the track to view the surf from the headland is. This is due to stormwater being channeled down from the Caravan Park. www.bonnyhills.com /spooney_1.html   (1392 words)

Habitat Conservation It also supports the efforts of communities, conservation organizations and non-profit groups in the area of habitat enhancement. Furthermore, the Department enters into collaborative agreements with industry, non-government organizations and other government departments and agencies in order to better protect fish habitat and the fisheries resources that are dependent on this habitat. All of these habitats must be conserved to maintain fish populations and ensure the sustainability of species harvested by the fishery. www.qc.dfo-mpo.gc.ca /habitat/en/conservation.htm   (1392 words)

ECOS - A Review of Conservation The UK Dependent Territories Conservation Forum had already drawn to the attention of UK Government the fact that its support for environmental matters in the Dependent Territories was in danger of falling down a crack between its domestic approach and its wider international support. "For many of the Dependent Territories, conservation of a high quality of environment is not just a fulfilment of international commitments made by the UK, but something which is fundamental to the long-term well-being of the local communities. The conservation bodies present at the conference of the Dependent Territories Association on 4 February 1988 were extremely disappointed to hear the Foreign Secretary present the conclusions of his review www.ukotcf.org /ecos.htm   (1392 words)

05.07 Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems (Edition 2004) For other biotope and vegetation types, such as fallow areas, or gravel and sand quarries, which may be groundwater-dependent depending on their specificity, an individual area assessment was carried out with the technical consultation of the state authority for conservation and landscape care. The recording of groundwater dependent land ecosystems is based on existing data of the Berlin Environmental Atlas (Map 05.02 Vegetation, Edition 2000 and Map 05.03 Valuable Areas for Flora and Fauna, Edition 1995). Other types, which can be groundwater-dependent depending on specificity, were subjected to further assessment. www.stadtentwicklung.berlin.de /umwelt/umweltatlas/ed507_03.htm   (880 words)

North American Wetlands Conservation Act Standard Grants - Canada The North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA) encourages and enables international partnerships that conserve wetlands and wetland dependent migratory birds and other fish and wildlife in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Applications for North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA) grants from Canada must be received by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Division of Bird Habitat Conservation, no later than the date shown.

HABITAT CONSERVATION Conservation banks are wildlife habitat areas that are restored and permanently protected by the selling of credits to offset development impacts elsewhere. As specified by the 1995 Wilson Administration policy, conservation banks are specifically encouraged in areas where they can support continuing regional habitat conservation strategies. The Resources Agency has worked aggressively to achieve this goal by developing innovative partnerships and market-based approaches to encourage conservation, both at the local and regional levels. resources.ca.gov /legacy/hc.html   (880 words)

ECOS - A Review of Conservation Dependent Territories Review: Interim Report, 29 January 1998. A whole range of terms are used for these Territories, including Dependent Territory, Crown Colony, Dependency and Crown Dependency, amongst others (see also the article by Clare Coffey and Mike Pienkowski). Almost immediately afterwards, Montserrat’s volcano issued a painful reminder that this was not the case — and, after a few days in the headlines, the fact that this was also British territory crept into the perceptions of media, public and politicians. www.ukotcf.org /ecos.htm   (880 words)

Conservation of Energy/Mass gravity -- this force is dependent on mass and the distance between the objects Mass Defect - When scientist found the actual mass of an atom they found it to be less than what it should have been. This missing mass had been converted into energy to hold the nucleus together. www.sciencebyjones.com /conservation_of_energy_mass.htm   (562 words)

Community based conservation issues discussed at Brazilia conference The role played by conservation programs that are implemented with the collaboration of local populations is a critical issue in discussions about the relationship that exists, or should exist, between the goals of promoting economic development that contributes to improving the quality of human life and promoting the conservation of biological diversity. This paper, based upon those data, gathered in the lakes and surrounding floodplains and forests of Silves, suggests that communally-owned and managed areas are at least as efficient mechanisms for conservation and management of tropical forest ecosystems than are other types of land ownership and management.

Shakespeare and Thermodynamics - Dam the Second Law! When second law concepts are coupled with examples of the effect of activation energies on chemical and physical events, they become a Rosetta stone for interpreting all the matter-dependent happenings in life. In summary, activation energy barriers to the second law and biochemical feedback mechanisms which act as pattern protective barriers are the keys to maintenance of our most prized artifacts and, indeed, of all living creatures in our oxygen- and energy-rich world. Over 40 years ago Sir Charles Snow startled a gathering or two of nonscientists by saying, in effect, that their lack of knowledge of the second law of thermodynamics was equivalent to scientists not ever reading a work of Shakespeare [1]. www.shakespeare2ndlaw.com   (853 words)

Misery Thus, the law which established railways provided indemnity for the lands to be occupied by the rails; it did nothing for the multitude of industries dependent upon the previous method of conveyance, whose losses far exceeded the value of the lands whose owners received compensation. The controversy between conservatives and reformers, still pending, finds its counterpart, in the history of philosophy, in the quarrel between realists and nominalists; it is almost useless to add that, on both sides, right and wrong are equal, and that the rivalry, narrowness, and intolerance of opinions have been the sole cause of the misunderstanding. Whoever you may be, clad in the rags of misery or decked in the sumptuous vestments of luxury, I restore you to that state of luminous nudity which neither the fumes of wealth nor the poisons of envious poverty dim. socserv2.socsci.mcmaster.ca /~econ/ugcm/3ll3/proudhon/misery.htm   (853 words)

27/3/2002 -- Peat Deal Conserves Three UK Wildlife Sites The Irish Peatland Conservation Council and Friends of the Earth are celebrating the deal, which will secure over 1,500 hectares (3,706 acres) of peat moor as National Nature Reserves. The UK National Trust explains that before the 1950s peat was only very rarely used for garden purposes, but then the horticultural industry became dependent on the development of peat as a reliable and consistent growing medium and soil improver. Since 1991, the UK government agency English Nature has declared lowland peat bog to be a nationally rare and endangered habitat and has sought the protection of all remaining areas. www.forests.org /articles/reader.asp?linkid=9388   (853 words)

Wetland conservation in China Mai Po was designated as a Ramsar site by the United Kingdom in September 1995, and is therefore at present included on the Ramsar List under UK Dependent Territories. In recognition of its exceptional importance, the Jiangxi Poyang Lake National Nature Reserve was one of the six wetlands designated for the List of Wetlands of International Importance when China became a Contracting Party to the Ramsar Convention in 1992. Several provinces have indicated a desire for sites under their jurisdiction to be designated, and the Ministry hopes to make a selection in 1 997, though no precise timetable has been established. www.ramsar.org /about/about_poyang.htm   (4762 words)

Navier-Stokes Equations The Navier-Stokes equations consists of a time-dependent continuity equation for conservation of mass, three time-dependent conservation of momentum equations and a time-dependent conservation of energy equation. The equations are extensions of the Euler Equations and include the effects of viscosity on the flow. The differential equations are therefore partial differential equations and not the ordinary differential equations that you study in a beginning calculus class. www.grc.nasa.gov /WWW/K-12/airplane/nseqs.html   (732 words)

The Natura 2000 Network Natura 2000 is to guarantee the maintenance (or reestablishment) of a favourable conservation status of habitats or the habitats of species in their natural range within the territory of the EU (article 3). The objective of guaranteeing the maintenance (or reestablishment) of the favourable conservation status of habitats and species in their natural range within the territory of the EU must be applied to each biogeographical region and, within each of these, to all habitats and species present there. Articles 12 to 16, 22.a and 22.b, and the objectives and creation of Natura 2000 (regarding the conservation of the habitats of species in Annex II) establish a legal framework which sets up a global system of protection of species within EU territory. www.gencat.net /mediamb/eng/pn/3xnatura.htm   (4509 words)

Fluid Dynamics and the Navier-Stokes Equations The Navier-Stokes equations are time-dependent and consist of a continuity equation for conservation of mass, three conservation of momentum equations and a conservation of energy equation. Together with the equation of state such as the ideal gas law - p V = n R T, the six equations are just enough to determine the six dependent variables. The Navier-Stokes equations are a set of nonlinear partial differential equations that describe the flow of fluids. universe-review.ca /R13-10-NSeqs.htm   (1617 words)
