dna reconstruction
they've already done it with bacteria: they can reconstruct them from DNA in fossils.
so, eventually when the technology has been developed (it will be more like 100 than 1000 years) then it may be possible to recnstruct animals, dinosuars and insects, fishes birds e.t.c. from fossils / remains
however, if you meant how to stop the extinction of wildlife, then I'm not too sure. sorry for wasting your time!What is the solution of extinction of wildlife.?
You can make a wildlife park just for the endangered wildlife, or you can convince the government to make a new law or something...What is the solution of extinction of wildlife.?
forest department must take care of the wildlife and avoid hunting.
wildlife must be given proper food and shelter andallow them to be free around .. and preserve them from dangerous animals ..
sometimes extinction cannot be avoided.... but this will be a prper reason for wildlives to be preserved.

Pirates or Wildlife Warriors?
How would you describe the guys who have been taken captive after boarding the Japanese whaling ship.
Ironical that they came from a ship called the Steve Irwin I think he would be very pleased.
What do you think?Pirates or Wildlife Warriors?
Hi Molly, The new hat is very You. The Santa cap was cute but felt a little commercial. They should have never boarded the Japanese ship. If it was me (and I am lazy) I would have launched a couple of RPG's (rocket propelled grenades) with the petition attached. I am sure this would have woken them up. The Japs seem to be getting very relaxed in where they choose to hunt whales, Maybe it is time to ban Japanese goods (not to mention that most goods are now made in China but they don't hunt whales). As long as they stay out of our waters, They can ski behind their big ship for all I care. It is time our Govt. put and end to this slaughter.Pirates or Wildlife Warriors?
They have broken maritime laws, by boarding the ship.
I just wish Greenpeace cared about children who are being hurt, as much as they care about whales.
They are heroes of our nation, of the world, wildlife warriors indeed! Brave men fearless enough to put their lives in danger in order to save endagered wild life from he harpoons of FERAL JAPANESE sailors.
The Aussie governemt should demand immediate return of these men and immediate withdrawal of the hunting or military intervention should be deployed against the Nisshin Maru and any other Japanese vessel supporting the whaling activities.
Go hard against the Japs or go home with you tail between your legs!
Wildlife Warriors 4 sure!!!
I say now Australia should intervene with full navy capabilities ,eg. Collins Class subs and test there missiles on the Japs who are whaling. Its time the UN steps in as well and get this ';research'; loophole out of way.
If I wasn't so money hungry I would love to join Greenpeace on there expeditions and help in protesting against the whaling. I wonder if I can take 1-2mths annual leave?
I agree with Dick E knee on this one. When I had seen what they did on the news, I kinda thought they could have sunk the ship. That would have stopped the bastards from whaling anymore. They dont see that the area they are whaling is important, and I dont think they really dont care.
At least now perhaps the Government will do somthing about it. Wildlife warriors for sure.
Wildlife Warriors. Sounds very politically correct.

Careers in Wildlife Biology and Vertebrate Zoology? ?
Beginning in the fall of 2009 I'll be attending college in pursuit of a B.S. (and maybe a M.S.) in Wildlife and Fisheries Science. I'm interested in jobs dealing with research in ecology and evolution among vertebrates and their ecosystems. I need some ideas of jobs that I might be able to obtain, good jobs that pay at least $50,000 annually, with this type of degree. Any ideas?Careers in Wildlife Biology and Vertebrate Zoology? ?
The life of a science major with only a BS (sometimes even an MS) is not very lucrative. I suggest you continue your education. Starting out you will NOT make more than 50K in a research position. You have to prove your worth before you will make any money. Most jobs if you work them long enough will eventually get you more than 50K though.
Have you thought of becoming a professor?... can be very financially rewarding if you are able to get your work published, bring in funds, and make a name for the school.
Good luck and best wishes. :)

Do you have any information or picture related to India's bioreserves,national parks or wildlife sanctuaries ?
India has the following kinds of Protected areas, in the sense of the word designated by IUCN. As of May 2004, India has 156,700 km虏 of surface area designated as protected areas, roughly 4.95% of the total surface area.
National Parks (IUCN Category II): India's first National Park was Hailey National Park, now Jim Corbett National Park, established in 1935. By 1970, India had 5 National Parks; today it has over 90.
See: National parks of India
Animal Sanctuary (IUCN Category IV): India has over 500 animal sanctuaries, referred to as Wildlife Sanctuaries. Among these, the 28 Tiger Reserves are governed by Project Tiger, and are of special significance in the conservation of the tiger. Some wildlife sanctuaries are specifically named Bird Sanctuary, eg. Keoladeo National Park before it attained National Park status. Many National Parks were initially Wildlife Sanctuaries.
See: Wildlife sanctuaries of India
Biosphere Reserve (UNESCO designation roughly corresponding to IUCN Category V): The Indian government has also established Biosphere reserves, which protect larger areas of natural habitat, and often include one or more national parks and/or preserves, along buffer zones that are open to some economic uses.
See: Biosphere reserves of India
Reserved Forest and Protected Forest (IUCN Category IV or VI, depending on protection accorded): These are forested lands where logging, hunting, grazing and other activities may be permitted on a sustainable basis to members of certain communities. In reserved forests, explicit permission is required for such activities. In protected forests, such activities are allowed unless explicitly prohibited. Thus, in general reserved forests enjoy a higher degree of protection with respect to protected forests.
See: Reserved forests and protected forests of India
Conservation Reserve and Community Reserve (IUCN Category V and VI respectively): These are areas adjoining existing PAs, which are of ecological value and can act as migration corridors, or buffer zone. Conservation reserves are designated government owned land from where communities may earn a subsistence, while community reserves are on mixed government/private lands. Community reserves are the only privately held land accorded protection by the Government of India.
See:Conservation reserves and community reserves of India
Village Forest and Panchayat Forest (IUCN Category VI): These are forested lands administered by a village or a panchayat on a sustainable basis, with the habitat, flora and fauna being accorded some degree of protection by the managing community.
See: Communal forests of India
Private protected areas: These are regions which are owned by an individual or an organization / corporation not affiliated to the government or a communal body. Even though Indian legislation does not provide for protection of such areas, some NGOs are using land trusts to help in the conservation effort, and providing limited means of protection.
See: Private protected areas of India
Conservation areas: Conservation areas are large, well-designated geographical entities where landscape conservation is undergoing, and usually contains different kinds of constituent protected areas, as well as privately owned land.

Can i get some good slogans on wildlife?
1.They are Gods Creation Save Them.
2.They have every right to live just like you and me.
3..We are under your care please save us.
4..We may not be able to communicate like you do but we have the right to live on this earth cause God also created us.
5..You take care of us and we will take care of you.Can i get some good slogans on wildlife?
I don't know for sure who said it originally (I think the quote is attributed to Aesop?) - but one of my favorite quotes is this:
The law doth punish the man and woman
who takes the goose from off the common
But lets thy greater felon loose
who takes the common from the gooseCan i get some good slogans on wildlife?
Mmmmmm! Caribou! 10,000 wolves can't be wrong!
Wildlife, lets rejoice in the simplicity of nature of live and let live, and not have to endure the complications of mankind.cosmetics

Info on Wildlife Conservation in India needed!!?
I need info on wildlife conservation in India under the topics:
1.Causes pf extinction of wildlife.
2.Measures of protection.
3.Organizations involved in protection.
Any other info would be welcome

First stop throwing your dead people in your rivers. How barbaric!Info on Wildlife Conservation in India needed!!?
Info on the wildlife conservation programme in India:
1. A large no. of species are at risk from human activities which destroy their habitats. 91% of all endangered plants, 89% of all endangered birds and 83% of all endangered mammls, according to the IUCN. There are no precise figures for the other categories of living organisms, which are less well known. A number of particularly rich habitats are currently suffering irreversible damage: forests, arid and subarid regions, wetlands and coral reefs. The causes of extinction is mainly the destruction of wildlife's habitat. including deforestation, degradtion of coasts etc.

3. WCS INDIA
India is a mega-diversity country that is particularly rich in vertebrate fauna. This is a result of its unique biogeography, evolutionary and social histories. It has faunal elements from the Indo-Malayan, Afro-tropical and palearctic regions. For example, out of the 226 extant carnivore species in the world, 52 species, including lions, hyenas, tigers, wolves, snow leopards, leopards and 3 species of bears, occur in India, with even the cheetah being extirpated only fifty years ago.
The country has an ancient culture that views humans as a part of nature rather than as its masters; that shows a higher degree of toleration for other life forms compared to any other part of the world. Partly as a result of this - and partly due to India's colonial history - several effectively protected nature reserves have been established during the last thirty years. These now cover about 5% of the land area. However, there are formidable challenges to 'saving wildlife' in India: a billion strong human population largely dependent on land-based occupations; a high degree of reliance on biomass for fuel, energy and structural materials; excessive livestock densities - all now supplemented by a modern consumerist economy growing at 10% a year; rapidly changing cultures and attitudes towards wildlife. However, the major social and ecological transformations that we are now seeing in the rest of the tropical world - such as forest conservation and fragmentation - had occurred in India over a thousand years ago.
In this context, Wildlife Conservation Society - India program focuses on charismatic endangered megafauna in protected reserves - as the most appropriate social tactic for saving biodiversity. During its 13 years of development, WCS-India program has blossomed from a single research project to encompass all the major strategies now pursued by WCS globally: research, capacity building, policy interventions and site-based conservation.

Would a diploma in conservation from pcdi get me a job as ranger or wildlife mgmnt?
I am sure you will have to have some criminal justice classes.
