POLLUTION......


Pollution is the main harmful to the environment which we are living now. Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into an environment that causes instability, disorder, harm or discomfort to the ecosystem i.e. physical systems or living organisms. Growing evidence of local and global pollution and an increasingly informed public over time have given rise to environmentalism and the environmental movement, which generally seek to limit human impact on the environment. The main effects of the pollution is the Sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides can cause acid rain which lowers the pH value of soil so the Soil can become infertile and unsuitable for plants. This will affect other organisms in the food web and also effect to the human beings. The emission of greenhouse gases leads to global warming which affects ecosystems in many ways. In the hierarchy of controls, pollution prevention and waste minimization are more desirable than pollution control. Recent studies have investigated the potential for long-term rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide to cause slight but critical increases in the acidity of ocean waters, and the possible effects of this on marine ecosystems.

SAVE TIGER


The national animal of India is tiger. The Tiger is the spirit of the Indian jungle, the symbol of India's wilderness-one we are pledged to preserve. Tigers occupy the pinnacle of the food chain and a healthy tiger population is an indicator of the well being of the whole forest. Nowadays tiger species is becoming very less in India comparing to other countries. There are 37 Tiger sanctuaries in India. However, 17 sanctuaries are on the verge of losing their tiger population. Overall in tiger there was 40,000 in the last century and now they are just 1411 tigers in India. Last year was the worst year for tigers in India, with 86 deaths reported. There are vast extents forests in India where tigers are absent not because of direct poaching but because there prey has been hunted out. But given the enormous public support, the cause of the wild tiger is not a lost one.
