Description:
Species inhabiting archipelagos are often characterised by high levels of interpopulation divergence (e.g. size related traits). This divergence may, in turn, influence their life-history. To facilitate better management and conservation of the Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis), an island endemic, we identified demographic differences between two island populations in Komodo National Park, Indonesia. Comparison of data collected from dragon populations inhabiting Rinca Island and the much smaller Gili Motang Island indicated that between 1994 and 2004, the Komodo dragon population on Gili Motang significantly decreased its: (1) mean body mass, (2) body condition and (3) relative abundance. These results suggest that the numerically small Gili Motang population was oscillating downwards; in contrast, the Rinca Island population had been relatively stable. More importantly these results emphasize the necessity for managers of this priority conservation species to understand further the inherent functional differences among dragon populations to develop island specific management units. Current management practices (e.g. monitoring) instigated by Komodo National Park management ignore small island dragon populations and thus run the risk of being unable to detect adverse effects for populations that are potentially most prone to decline. ...

Excerpt: Gunung Leuser National Park -Gunung Leuser National Park is 150 km long, over 100 km wide and is mostly mountainous. 40% of the park, which is mainly in the north, is steep, and over 1,500 m. 12% of the Park only, in the lower southern half, is below 600 meters but for 25 km runs down the coast. 11 peaks are over 2,700 m and the highest point is Gunung Leuser, which 3 466 m high. Young Orangutan in the national parkGunung Leuser National Park is one of the two remaining habitats for Sumatran Orangutans (Pongo abelii). In 1971, Herman Rijksen established the Ketambe research station, a specially designated research area for the orangutan. Other mammals found in the park are the Sumatran Elephant, Sumatran tiger, Sumatran rhinoceros, Siamang, Mainland Serow, Sambar deer, and Leopard Cat. Water Supply As mentioned, the first signs of reduced water replenishment have already been seen in and around the Leuser Ecosystem. Groundwater reservoirs are rapidly being exhausted and several rivers fall completely dry during part of the year. This has severe consequences for the local community. Both households and industries need to anticipate water shortages and higher costs for water. Fishery Coastal fisheries and aquaculture in and around Leuser are very important. They provide a large portion of the animal protein in local peoples diets and generate ample foreign exchange. Their annual value currently exceeds US $171 million. If the Leuser Ecosystem is degraded, the decline in fresh water may have a detrimental impact on the functioning of the fishery sector.

Product Description
Una storia come tante altre, all'interno di una società sempre più cannibale e dispersiva, con amici che mantengono i contatti solo per poter esaltare il loro ego, maltrattando sempre e rigorosamente dietro le spalle coloro che un tempo erano stati i loro compagni di giochi, di studio e di avventura. Non c'è più spazio per un artista sincero, per una parola dolce da spendere senza la necessità di un compenso, per un rapporto leale sul quale costruire il futuro. Tutto è fittizio e superficiale; invidia, gelosia e rabbia fanno da apripista alla falsità, all'odio e .. alla morte. Lo scorrere della storia è come lo scorrere di un film, e il fluire dei capitoli è un susseguirsi continuo di "pezzi" di vita che costituiscono una serie di famosi titoli cinematografici. ...

Levi, diffusé en 1991. L'histoire prend place dans les années 2000 et est fixée dans une quelconque ville qui n'est jamais mentionnée dans le dialogue, bien que le script indique l'emplacement de Seattle, Washington. (La production a été filmée dans certaines parties de San Antonio, au Texas et Corpus Christi, au Texas, selon le générique de fin). Dans cette ville, les armes ont été interdites et l'application de la loi effectuée avec des pistolets non létaux aux micro-ondes "étourdissement".

Amazing Fully Photographic Kids Book
I bought this book for my son's 9th birthday and we have been reading it as a bed-time story every night since then! He loves the huge full-page colour photographs which make the Komodo Dragon a real creature and the safari style answered each of his next questions. The quality and attention to detail is unmatched in a children's book. Actually, I am unsure whether my son or my husband enjoys this book most! Fantastic buy!
