Globalization has pre-dominantly made life easy. The factors of productivity have led to great changes. I would hereby highlight the environmental perception regarding the production.  Farmers are the prevalent contributor for the Indian economy. Cultivation is a dynamic process. Indians are considered to be late adopters. At times this can be a great blessing. As it would be a bane for scarce sectors. Technology has led to a quantity of productivity. Is productivity a bane to the environment. Let’s consider the safe means of productivity concerning the environment The effects of Globalisation are leading to major changes. Gone are those days   farmers enjoying to in the farm land. The son of the soil is now the spoiler of the soil. It's all because of the immensive demand to towards the production The fast growing trends of technology drive people to produce more. The mode of producing products is based on the quantity rather quality. The process of pro...

Human expansion always cleared some forest for needs.  In the name of agriculture, larger areas are cleared for domestic requirements. D eveloped countries have a recreational forest, how about developing countries. For thousands of years, forests used for hunting are now preserved in the  rational way.  Mountains unfortunately, don't support large trees. As we all tend to go for development and luxuries. Whether we can rebuild forest  in the same state is a doubtful  aspect to think about. So many species of fauna and flora have now vanished. By far the most serious aspect of deforestation is the  forest, where crops can provide profit. The trees can also be profitable of course, as in India we use for books and few countries for toilet papers being made from trees valuable trees such as teak have been used for furniture and the interior designing of the house. This hardly recompenses for the replacement for the  sites as we walk ...

The richness in tradition and culture makes India unique. From birth to death we have variety of customs and ceremonies followed. Each of these aspects are connected to  the nature.The realization of the fact that humans are bond with the nature astonishes us. When a child is born, right after 28 days its served with the milk deeped in the gold. The footprints of the first walk are kept for memories. The 21 st century’s citizens have adopted modernisation. Westernization and modernization has become the trend of new era– ignoring nature. Unknowing we are searching for the natural resources today.  But somewhere deep in our mind we have the hereditary of our ancestors. Rural sectors have a way of coating their floor ,cow dung which protects us from flies and keeps the floor tidy .Then cow dung, now – marble, tiles, granites which also from the heart of the earth. We buy luxury stones like diamond and pearls to make us beautiful and grand. The ladies wear ornaments ...

The excitement to see the wild animals and rare species of plants is still prevailing. Seeing these creatures is a great opportunity. Humans are curious by nature and have an inherent desire to explore the unknown and discover environment. The only opportunity that we human beings get to explore the wild life is through zoos. People enjoy looking at the wild animals closer, so that they get the feeling of wild life experience and also get to click pictures. The wild life sanctuaries are not only the great places to get up close to the wildlife, but many are also doing their part to bolster the decreasing population of wild animals. Protection of wild animals has come to such an extreme that today to protect them they have been kept inSanctuaries. Animals kept there give a different look altogether to that part...

Kerala is a traditionally rich and culturally beautiful state of India. The greenery and abundant variety of species marks the importance of this coastal strip. The most beautiful feature of this small state is the 44 tremendously flowing rivers. The land was blessed with the natural supply of fresh water from these rivers. But this fact seems to be ended in the state. Along with the development and industrialization which are meant to be positive factors of a countries growth, the state tends to lose whole of its natural sources along with these rivers. In a recent study by Aravind ES on ‘Various lakes in Kerala and Environmental Issues’ he explains the splendidness of the rivers which they had in the state and how the common people simply look helpless before these dying lakes and rivers. The major rivers of Kerala include Periyar, Bharathapuzha, Pamba, Chalakuduipuzha etc. and the lakes such as Ashtamudi Lake, Vembanad Lake, Vellayan Lake etc. These natural sources are ...

Environment destruction has been happening from a long time but now it has increased to such an extent that it’s become a very common thing. Pollution is increasing in quantity and variety instead of showing signs of reduction. Earlier it was just three types – air, water and soil. Later it became four after noise pollution got added. Now, it is five types. The four mentioned along with radiation. The latter being extremely dangerous as it has the ability to not just disturb and affect the ones living but their next generations as well.  Constructions are a sort of development that is a must to mankind, especially because of the over-growing population and the need for more and more residential and industrial complexes to provide shelter and income to many. Once constructed a workspace or a house might look beautiful but during construction the amount of devastation that it causes to the environment is a lot. Nobody might have noticed; but once a construction gets over, t...

Everyone has the right to healthy environment but due to the human wants the healthy environment has been slowly depleting. Mangaluru the hub of floura, fauna and wildlife is now the ignorant plight of exploitation. The added beauty and the balancing cycle of the Western Ghats is now surrounded by major environmental issues.

Global warming is by far the greatest threat to birds and wildlife. It impacts all kinds of wildlife in many different ways.  Global warming is not just a threat to the environment.  Ever thought how the effects of global warming can be a warning and a threat to wildlife. Impact of Global Warming on Wildlife Wildlife is an important part of ecological community in the environment. Wildlife is an important character of the nature, so its conservation is an important obligation of human beings for the sustainability of life on planet earth.   Global warming has led to habitat loss due to sea level rise, flooding, wildfires, washing away nesting sites due to cloud bursts and torrential rains, extended period of droughts with increased daytime temperatures resulting in delayed fruit set in wild fruit trees, and build up of invasive species and loss in desired vegetation. Bird migrations are severely impacted and the ripple effects are seen in terms o...

Mangaluru: St Aloysius Campus, Light House has claimed its award for environment rights, yet a lot of changes is yet to take place. The management is trying their best to make an eco friendly campus, but there has been a drastic change since the years of its foundation. When it comes to waste, people hardly care where it goes and how it is being dumped. People dump all kinds of waste into dustbins around the place oblivious to the hazard caused due to lack of waste management. When plastic is burnt, the polluted air causes tremendous problems for resident and students in the area. “College should have a positive ambience and playground and open space should be kept neat and tidy,” says Lorenzo Majeo, a student. Shinoj Thomas a post-graaduation student said, “there are lots of dustbins around the college premises but I don’t know where those are being emptied.” Pointing at the waste pit, he adds “this is not eco friendly.
