WWF (World Wide Fund)



WWF- a NGO (Ecosystem: mainly Animals ..forest + water etc efficient + sustainable use)

TRAFFIC >its  a Wild Life Trade monitoring Network
>Formed by IUCN + WWF
>IUCN = says which species is more critical.

>So these NGO ensures CITES implementation.
>CITES is administered by UNEP.

Global Forest & Trade Network
what it does:
>sustainable use of forest by member companies.
>15 country are its member and many companies.

How it does:
>Provides Opinion+ Advise + platform for engagement.
>so that Reuse + efficient management = reduce forest requirement.
>Forest management= to create sustainable forest supplies.

Impact:
>USA is largest importer of wood.
>Many of its exporting countries endulged in Malpractice in deforestation.
>Now they will be disincentivised from the companies of USA.
>thus promoting sustainable use of Forest.

Natural Capital
What it is:
>Like machinary Nature itself is a capital---so WWF used Natural Capital whose depriciation is detrimental.

What has been done to conserve:
> Tools have been made for policy makers.
>InVEST = softwere to help in policy @ecosystem
>RIOS =Supports cost effective investment in Watershed management.

Which tool :
>InVEST (Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs).

>Its a sofwtere.
>Evaluates value of Ecosystem  = models and map various servises that Ecosystem provides or the bio diversity within ecosystem provides.
>Available free of cost..... Policy makers can see the tradeoff between Environment , economy and social benefit very clearly.

AgWater Challenge
What it is?

evaporation

what causes water to evaporate every fluid (pure) has a definite vapor pressure at a fixed temperature , now if any how the partial presuure of the fluiid is less then the the vapor pressure of the fluid then the fluid starts evaporating to attain the partial pressure equal to the  vapor pressure of the fluid, and then the equllibrium is reached and evaporation stops.                              basically at the top of the fluid there is a random motion of the fluid molecule due to the difference between the adhasive and cohesive forces, some molecule say 'n' goes into the vapur phase and some strikes back say m such that n>m then after the above explained condition is achived then the constraint m=n. conclusion whenever there is the fluid in liquid state is  present then in that system partial pressure is exactly to the va...
