It was observed that Dusky Moorhen, Ibis and Pacific Black Ducks share both aquatic and grassland habitat in City’s Botanic Garden for their activities. Federal Pigeons’ behaviour was not observed by any groups due to reduce numbers in the Garden. Thus, discussion on Federal Pigeons on foraging and vigilance behaviour will be based on references from Table 2 and Table 3.

The Marine Ecosystem and its Life Matters Too!! About 70% of the earth is water and 96.5 of that water is said to be in the ocean [Climate Change, Para 1]. On earth there are many different ecosystems and each contains its own flora and fauna. Among the many ecosystems there is the aquatic ecosystem which includes: wetlands, rivers, lakes, estuaries and the ocean.

The next zone of the park is characterized by western white pine, and Pacific silver fir. There can be many different birds in this zone depending on the vegetation, weather, and breading time. The elevation zone of the park is characterized where the Paradise and Sunrise areas are located. This zone is characterized by mixed
What You Ignore “As I look upon you on this groggy New York morning, I have one question. If a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears it, does it make a noise? The answer, unambiguously, is of course it does, but what about a whole forest? What if an entire forest falls down, will anyone hear it, will anyone pay attention?” asked Stephen, the conservationist. “Of course we will it’s an entire forest!” proclaimed the crowd of students. “You’re right, we most certainly would.

Australia is the largest island in the world and is the only country to occupy an entire island. Australia is also the smallest continent.

European Colonization Do you ever wonder how the world came about because of its past? Or how it is that you are able to live where you are? Think about where your childhood home was, how long did you live there? Most would say, 5-10 years. How would you like it if a plethora of ungrateful foreigners came in and told you that you have to leave? The average person would say no and fight back. This is exactly what happened to the indigenous people of North America felt when the Europeans came over

education, and by other means. Thus, prejudice can be reduced or prevented, if the proper precautions are emplaced. Overview of Solutions and Themes to Prejudice By 2050, the United States will consist of about 53% White, 25% Hispanic, 14% Black, 8% Asian/Pacific Islander, and 1% American Indian. Due to this diversity, it is no doubt that the school system will also change (D’Angelo and Dixey, 2001, p. 83). Thus, the more diverse these classrooms are becoming, the more liable prejudice is to occur
