Activity 3.1 - Human Population



ACTIVITY 3.1 : 
HUMAN POPULATION



Country name: Northern Africa

Birth Rate: 23 

Death Rate: 6

Population Growth Rate (rate of natural increase): 1.7

Life Expectancy: Males 61, Females 65, Total 63

Fertility Rate (average number of children per childbearing-aged female): 3.0

Gross National Income (GNI): $11,702



Country name: Western Asia

Birth rate: 19

Death rate: 5

Population growth rate (rate of natural increase): 1.4

Life expectancy for males and females: Males 72, Females 77, Total 74

Fertility rate (average number of children per childbearing-aged female): 2.5

Gross National Income (GNI): $35,707



Most of the numbers in the two countries do not have much difference in range; the death rates in Northern Africa and Western Asia are almost the same, and the same goes for the population growth rate. When it comes to the life expectancy in these two countries, it shows that the life expectancy for males and females in Western Asia is greater than it is in Northern Africa. Life expectancy in these two countries is very similar to that of the World data. Still, the other numbers in the world data range from higher to lower than those given for Northern Africa and Western Asia.

Activity 4.2.1 – Applying My Environmental Policy Frameworks - Vivianna Vando

  Problem Statement : Hydraulic fracturing, or hydrofracking, is a technique used to extract natural gas and oil from deep shale rock formations. While it has been around for years, technological advancements have made it possible to tap into energy sources previously considered inaccessible. The process involves injecting a mix of water, sand, and chemicals thousands of feet underground to break open the shale and release the trapped gas. According to the U.S. Energy Information Agency (EIA), the United States has an estimated 482 trillion cubic feet of recoverable shale gas. At current consumption rates, this supply could last about two decades. Key drilling sites are located in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia. Hydrofracking has contributed to a significant increase in natural gas production, becoming the country’s primary energy source and the second-largest overall energy contributor (Cohen, 2014). However, while hydrofracking has driven economic growth and ener...

Activity 4.1 - U.S. Environmental History and Major Regulations

Image
 During the twentieth century, there was a significant shift in recognizing the complexity and global nature of environmental issues. The Brundtland Report underscored the interdependence of human well-being, ecological systems, social structures, and economic sustainability. This report was pivotal in framing environmental challenges as multidimensional, requiring a holistic approach to understanding and addressing them. U.S. historians studying environmental policies have identified three distinct periods marked by the emergence of new ideas, scientific discoveries, political institutions, and legal frameworks aimed at managing humanity’s impact on the environment. For early settlers in North America, the concept of “waste” was almost meaningless. Resources seemed inexhaustible, and when one strategy failed, there was always another option available nearby. This mindset of abundance shaped early interactions with the land and continues to influence how some groups perceive humani...

Activity 2.3.1 - Ranchers, Anglers, and Beavers

  1. Exploratory The reading dives into the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and their work to address how streams have been affected by drought, wildfires, and grazing practices. Research by Trout Unlimited (TU) scientists and some BLM biologists highlights how combining grazing management strategies with beaver activity can make a big difference in restoring stream habitats. Beavers play a critical role here—think of them as nature's recovery specialists. Their dams slow down stream water, helping it spread across floodplains, keeping the soil moist, and supporting streamside vegetation all year long. 2. Diagnostic Streams shrink and degrade over time due to a mix of natural and human-induced factors like drought, wildfires, and grazing. This has a ripple effect on wildlife that depends on these habitats. Wildfires burn up the surrounding land, while droughts limit water availability for fish and other aquatic species. Grazing adds another layer of stress, often stripping away the...
