Long-term variations in the abiotic factors such as temperature, rainfall, snow, and wind pattern are referred to as climatic changes (IPCC 2007a). Climate changes create new challenges for humans and wildlife, most common are cloudbursts, dry spells, increasing sea level, thawing permafrost, salinization, increased wildfi res, reduced agricultural yields, water diminish, health problems due to high temperature in cities, and ablation (WWF). Climate change affects individual species and their habitat which alter the structure and function of the ecosystem and services that the natural system provided to society (Diazz, et al. 2019) Most often the climate change is limited but sometimes it spreads commonly and causes the disturbance in food chains, nutrient fl ow, and atmospheric circulation in other regions. Solar energy plays important role in all biological activities. It sustains most of the biomass and supports primary production. It keeps the earth's biological tolerable level. In discussing the effect of climate changes on wildlife it is noted that some species have not been much affected by these changes, while some others go to distinct.In tropical regions, there is great biodiversity because of two main phenomena: phylogenetic niche conservatism and ecological productivity. These two factors play signifi cant roles but accumulating theoretical and experimental studies recommend that the single most important factor is kinetics: the temperature dependency of ecological and evolutionary rates. The relatively high temperatures in the tropics generate and sustain high diversity because 'the Red Queen runs faster when she is hot' [1].Climate change has affected wildlife and the natural environment ecosystem in multiple ways. The dramatic shift in physical atmospheric conditions, climate events, and natural disasters (IPCC 2007a). Spreading wildlife diseases and invasion of exotic species are a few results of climate change that have already been observed.In response to climate change, few species moved towards high altitudes or latitudes, but other species failed to reestablish their habitats and phenological responses. These phenomena differ among different species in the same ecosystem and ultimately causing the disintegration of ecosystem components. So, climate change should be considered as a key factor for biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation.
Climate change is amongst the priority and most challenging issues for developing economies like Pakistan. The current study focuses on calculating and estimating carbon footprint of a beverage bottling unit as well as monitoring of major greenhouse gases while unfolding the industrial unit's contribution in greenhouse gas emissions as a preliminary part to combat the climate change. The methodological approach was based on GHG Protocol guidelines and IPCC guidelines. March 2015 to March 2016 was selected as the base year for calculations. The total carbon footprint of the industry came out to be 29880.26177 tCO 2 e. The highest emissions of CO 2 were indirect sources as calculated per GHG Protocol and IPCC guidelines. This study will enable industries to calculate their own carbon foot print thus providing the government a course of action to combat climate change.
As everything in this world evolves or changes, so does our climate. Scientists have now proved that climate change is happening at a much faster rate than before. Pakistan is one of the most vulnerable continents to climate change impacts. Pakistan is considered as 7th most vulnerable country to climate change. Recently in Lahore, many major events occurred due to climate change like the occurrence of smog. The present study was conducted in 4 different tertiary institutions of Lahore, Pakistan. A descriptive survey design was specially employed for this study which used a stratified random sampling method for selecting the students. Moreover, a structured questionnaire titled climate change awareness was developed for collecting data from the students based on their level of awareness. According to this survey, 49.1% of the students know about the policies government is making regarding climate change. 62.5% of the respondents agreed that they have the necessary information to prepare for the impacts of climate change. The result of the findings showed a moderate level of awareness about climate change among the students. Awareness of climate change is an important ingredient for the successful implementation of climate change policy in the country. By improving the climate services and raising awareness about climate change and once it starts to grow it can be integrated into local, national, and sectoral development plans.
Phytate is not hydrolyzed by fish because natural phytase activity not present in some agastric fishes, phytate is present in grain products as the main form of phosphorus. The present study was aimed to check the effect of phytase supplementation on muscle proximate composition in Labeo rohita fingerlings that are fed by phytase supplemented distiller's dried grain with soluble. Six experimental diets were prepared by supplementing phytase at graded levels. D1 diet contains no supplemented phytase, while, D2, D3, D4, D5 contain 250, 500, 750, 1000, and 1250 FTU/kg phytase, respectively. The experiment continues for eight weeks. Water quality parameters including pH, temperature, and dissolved oxygen were controlled throughout the experiment. Results were analyzed through the Student-Newman-Keuls test for significant differences. Supplementation of phytase decreased the moisture and fat content of muscles in L. rohita fingerlings. Supplementation of phytase increases the crude protein and crude ash content of muscles in L. rohita fingerlings. In conclusion, phytase showed randomized responses to muscle composition.
Purpose: The purpose of the study is to explore the environmental protection agency (EPA) issues and also suggest solutions that will help to solve these issues. Method: We have used an analysis method for our study. We used the environmental protection agency (EPA) website, report, and previously published reports to evaluate issues. Results: Our results show that the environmental protection agency (EPA) has issues in workload and also in information security. We analyze both issues deeply and recommend some changes to the environmental protection agency (EPA) which includes a pilot project, a staffing plan for the entire department, measurements of the security, and tracking of the environmental protection agency (EPA) framework. Conclusion: From the whole analyses we conclude that the environmental protection agency (EPA) and office of inspectors general need to focus on that issue. There is a need for them to improve the problems that occur in such policies that are designed to save the atmosphere and human health.
