Resolved Question: What should I donate my money to?

Hi, I'm Greg's 11-year-old daughter, Maggie. I was recently very touched by a selection I read. It's about children in Sweden who donated raised money to save the Monterverde Rainforest. I raised some money and I'm hoping to give it to a worthy cause. Who do you think I should give it to? Here are a few different places I was thinking of: Children in Africa Heifer (I've already done that for Christmas twice in a row, I don't really want to do it again) Big Cat Rescue (big cats are my favorite animals) Rainforest Conservation ?????? Any other ideas????? Thanks & God Bless :) - Maggie more

Resolved Question: do you think i can get in to medical school?

here is my resume. I have volunteered in many different areas during my years at North Park. My freshman year I participated in the Viking Kids Day which led me to further volunteer in the Holy Family after-school program in the projects. I also continue to participate as President of the Urban Outreach Green Team, the environmental conservation outreach program at North Park. Through this I have dedicated time to starting and maintaining the organic garden where food is grown for the North Park Friendship Center. Being a student leader in Urban Outreach has also exposed me to the Friends of the Refugees program as well as new groups and new people in the North Park community. Aside from help with people, during my first winter break and summer I volunteered for Indigo Pet rescue. This involved taking part in pet adoptions as well as doing physical labor in effort to start up a new facility for the training and housing of rescued pets. I have also been involved with many extra curricular activities. I became a member and later vice president of the Tri-Beta Honors Society. I am an active member and Historian of the North Park Chemistry Club, which participated in the 2009 NEIU Children’s Science event. I am also part of the North Park Math Club. I have been known get up early to enjoy the fishing club, which is still in development. Enjoying anatomy field trips is also something I have done in my free time, including a trip to Body Worlds and to RUSH Medical Center for cadaver dissections. My travel experiences start my freshman year with the Green Team. During spring break we dedicated our time to traveling up to Minnesota in attempt to take part in the reforestation of some land using Hybrid Poplar trees. Cutting off the new growth of the hybrid poplar branches, then preserving them for the winter allowed for the land-owners to plant these branches the next year, each one resulting in a new tree. Sophomore year of spring break consisted of long bus rides with the North Park Gospel Ensemble. While touring up and down the west coast between Oregon and Washington, we spread the Gospel by song all while growing in community with each other and through the close encounter with death on Mt. St. Helens. During freshman year, the Gospel ensemble also traveled to Kansas to worship there. Come my junior year, thanks to the financial aid gained from my summer research opportunity, I got to participate in the Ecology of Costa Rica class offered by Dr. Bjorkman. This trip consisted of treks through the rainforests, cloud forests, boat rides through the mangroves, and early morning Tapir hunts. These activities all in attempt to learn about a dying ecosystem I had always dreamed of visiting. This was by far the most enjoyable and educational experience I have had with North Park. I also did a research internship at UT southwestern Medical center and am going to start research on PD in the fall. My GPA is slightly over a 3.6 and Ive been awarded some biology scholarships the last two years. Im currently taking an MCAT prep course and will be taking that in august. So my score for that is non-existent. What do you guys think? im freaking out thinking im missing some major clinical experience. Do you think lacking clinical experience will severely hinder my chances of getting into medical school? more

Voting Question: Why is 'tropical rainforest conservation' important?

Resolved Question: need help with my english?

hi people, i've a favor to ask you.could you, please correct the text below for me?i wrote it after reading an article, so don't pay much attention at the topic but at the grammar and the expressions i've used in it. and please could you mention the reason why it's wrong. cheers!! --------------- i read your article about the coastal and wildlife expedition by a fluke on internet. And it happen that i'm very interested in your suggestion to find wild life in the rainforest of costa Rica.I would be glad if i could joint the conservation expedition and help to protect the wildlife that resides /lives there. even though i can no longer tell/ keep my enthusiasm, i have some questions to ask you before taking definitely part in it( the expedition): You explain in your email that we will be searching for wildlife in the rainforest and in the water by/ along the coast ,but you don't mention what kind of animals( animal's kind) we are going to seek (out)?it would be rather dangerous to come face to face with a panther or other felines, wouldn't it! You affirm also that we should be physically fit and strong swimmer, does that mean that i must have been trained for confront every storm and be strong enough to follow the other( the group/the team)? your email pay attention to our capacity/ faculty to speak Spanish.Would be a hight school level( basic Spanish) enough to communicate with the local community? and finally could you inform me quickly / swiftly per mail , where and when the training session will start. thank you j.L more

Resolved Question: Funding for the Eden Project?

How, and from whom did Tim Smit get funding to build the Eden Project in Cornwall? (I believe it has cost approx £139 million so far). I would like to start a conservation project, and build an indoor rainforest with breeding projects for various species of endangered animals (unlike Eden that specializes in plants). Obviously this will cost a few million £'s to build, which I could not fund myself. Any help or information about grants for such a project would be appreciated. more

I basically want to go to South America, preferably around the Amazon Rainforest area. I want to be a volunteer, doing conservation work etc for 3 - 5 months.

Resolved Question: Could chimps (including bononos) and gorillas be successfully introduced to rainforests outside of Africa?

These species are the closest living relatives to humans, and are endangered in their natural habitats in Africa. Outside of Africa, they live in human captivity or semi-captivity. Would it be possible for humans to successfully introduce these great apes to foreign wild tropical rainforest environments, such as the Amazon? If so, would they be likely to thrive without decimating the existing local environment? My guess is that they would be considerably less intrusive than the bald great ape (Homo sapiens), however such a potential disruption of local ecosystems is likely to raise some ethical issues. For those interested in the conservation of our closest animal kin, however, this has to be weighed against the possibility of the extinction of these species. Humans could also humanely control the populations should they prove detrimental to local wildlife; offer some shelter until they adapt to the local environment; or as a last resort offer a trip back to Africa. So would giving a group of semi-wild chimps, bonobos or gorillas (or even Asian orangs) a plane ticket to a new habitat in the Amazon be a bad idea? Has this ever been proposed before?Please excuse typo (bonobos was the correct spelling) more

Resolved Question: If you don't believe in global warming, where do you think all that carbon is going?

There are some basic scientific truths, one being that the carbon cycle is a closed system. It exists in different places (or "sinks") in various ratios over time, but there has always been a fixed amount of carbon on the earth. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Is_the_carbon_cycle_an_open_or_closed_system Another basic truth is that a large percentage of the carbon in the carbon cycle exists underground, as fossil fuels. So when we extract those fuels at such a rapid pace and BURN them, naturally they go into the atmosphere (combining with oxygen to be CO2). We're not putting any of that carbon back into the ground. Trees and other plants can take it in, but we are deforesting many of the most active "carbon-sink" forests, such as the rain forest. Cutting down trees not only takes away a sink, but releases MORE CO2: "Some experts are now calling them the "air conditioners to the world," because their dark depths absorb heat from the sun. Without the forest cover, these regions would reflect more heat into the atmosphere, warming the rest of the world...Roughly 30 percent of the carbon dioxide released in the air (a leading cause of global warming) comes from burning the rainforests." http://science.howstuffworks.com/conservation-issues/rainforest5.htm To me it's simple - Carbon comes out of the ground, has to go somewhere. Some gets "consumed" by plants, but where is the rest going? It's not going back into the ground. Graphs show it's going into the atmosphere (duh). As a greenhouse gas, this thickens the layer and changes the way it balances the heat ratio on our planet. If that's not causing global climate change, then where is all that carbon going?? http://www.physicalgeography.net/fundamentals/9r.htmlDr. Jello - I would love to know where you get your info. You seem to have a wealth of sketchy knowledge that I can't independently verify.Ralph W - No, the atmosphere is included in the carbon cycle. Read the link. There is no carbon exchange between our atmosphere and outer space. The carbon in the atmosphere is included in the fixed amount of carbon on our planet. more

Resolved Question: You have read about Earth’s numerous ecosystems and the biological diversity that inhabits them.?

You have read about Earth’s numerous ecosystems and the biological diversity that inhabits them. Unfortunately, many of these habitats and the species that inhabit them are under threat from human encroachment through agricultural activities such as logging, pollution, or war. Q: What role, if any, do you think people should play inpreserving those regions threatened by human encroachment? Q: How should the interests of competing groups be balanced? •Example: Drilling in the Arctic—environmental groups oppose the plan on the grounds of the destruction to the habitat; those in favor argue that tapping into the oil there would be good for the economy and decrease reliance on foreign oil. What about when the habitat is not within the U.S. borders? Many international conservation groups are working to save the rainforest—what rights do people have to interfere with how another sovereign nation chooses to manage its lands? If the government of Bolivia is willing to allow millions of acres of jungle to be destroyed to promote the logging industry (which provides employment to their citizens), should people intervene?

Resolved Question: The Burning Question?

This is the headline from today's Independent. It refers to the production of biofuels devastating huge swathes of the world's environment. Conservation International estimates that the Cerrado of Brazil and Paraguay will disappear by 2030. Indonesia is now the third biggest climate polluter in the world after the US and China. Indonesia could lose all its rainforests by illegal felling in 15 years. African countries such as Mozambique and Burkina Fasso are two of the hardest hits countries as their food is turned into biofuel. Now I don't suppose we can do a single thing by ourselves, but what do you think people can do if they get together? My thoughts are that we can contact our MP and see what their opinion is and suggest they will lose our vote if their policy on biofuels is not pro-green enough. What do you think? more

Resolved Question: Career Path?

Resolved Question: Ideas for a rainforest conservation fair?

I am putting up posters advertising for people to help out this summer at a rainforest conservation fair where the profit will go towards volunteers (namely myself and my boyfriend haha), who are travelling to Indonesia (with registered charity, Operation Wallacea) in order to do important conservation work. It costs £4000 each to go so a lot of money needs to be raised. So far on the poster I have written.... We are looking for: *Stall holders for games, food etc Entertainers Raffle donations Cake/cookie bakers Petting animals Rainforest related props Unwanted cuddly toys, books, games Anyone willing to lend children’s sports equipment (hoops, beanbags etc) Anyone willing to do environmental talks Can anyone think of anything else to write on that list before I print and post them around? Any ideas for the actual event are appreciated aswell!NOTE: This isn't all I'm writing on the poster. I'm just looking for more ideas I could write on the list I included, not what to put on my poster all together =]. more

Resolved Question: Unique fundraising ideas in order to conserve rainforests?

Next year, my boyfriend and I are travelling to Indonesia as volunteers in order to do conservation work in the rainforests there. This work is vital to help protect the forests and all the creatures that live there. The trip will cost us approximately £4000 each... At the moment we are in college so getting the money from a job would be difficult. The organisation we are travelling with (Operation Wallacea), send out fundraising packs to volunteers so that they may officially raise the money. Now we just need to think of some interesting and unique fundraising ideas that will help us obtain the money we need. So, has anyone got any ideas?Wow! The ideas so far are great! Bexy, that idea is amazing! Either you've seen it before or you have ONE MASSIVE imagination! =D. I'd definitely like to do that! more

Resolved Question: . What role, if any, do you think we should play in preserving those reqions threatened by human encroachment

How should the interest of competing groups be balanced? 3. What about when the habitat is not within the US borders? Many international conservation groups are working to save the rainforest. What rights do we have to interfere with how another nation chooses to manage its own lands? Should we interfer with other governments? Why or why not? more

Resolved Question: Environment Conservation- For all you rainforest fans out there, or if you love woodwork. Help?

This isnt much of a question, I know, but I figure this area of Yahoo questions has plenty of people who really care about the environment. I've traveled to Puerto Rico and Argentina under the Earthwatch Program, and Ive experienced a lot of environmental mauling to be honest. I wanted to know however if you guys would be willing to help- I met a small group of people who live way into the forest in PR, and they need help funding their sustainable forestry research. If you could give their website a glance: http://www.eyeontherainforest.org/puertoricowood.php you'll see some of the best made woodwork from the absolute best wood, Blue Mahoe. It literally directly funds the conservation of the forest, so if you're looking for a way that actually helps the environment this is it. Help us out, please? =) Thanks guys, and happy trails.This isnt much of a question, I know, but I figure this area of Yahoo questions has plenty of people who really care about the environment.

Resolved Question: Can you help me decide which is the worse of the 2 evils??

Hello I can now become a vegetarian after 4 years of having a B12 deficiency. Now my B12 levels are up I would like to become a vegetarian. HOWEVER soya products are damaging the environment and I realise you need protein in your diet as it can cause a lot of medical problems. Brazillian rainforests are being cut down. I am off to uni later this year to study conservation and ecology hence the reason for the veggie question. Which is worse, eating animals that are produced in this country or damaging the rainforests along with species? Please help me decide which is the best thing for the planet! Many thankshttp://www.greenpeace.org.uk/forests/agricultureI would just like to say that I do eat organically produced food and it was a rarity with my blood (for my age), as well as the folate.Oh and I never eat processed foods either! more

Resolved Question: Positive effects from Avian flu or other epidemics?

"What a terrible thing to say!" Yes, I know. It would be a terrible thing. But aside from the moral humanity factor, would an epidemic really be bad for human history? It seems many of modern humanity's problems are due to overpopulation. Too many people and not enough resources. Too much waste and not enough conservation, etc. If there were less humans, we would be cutting down less of the rainforest, using less oil, slaughtering less dolphins, burning less fossil fuels, etc. Yet, we would retain many of our advances in civilization because of the wealth of information contained in video, books, and the internet. And hey, shorter lines at the grocery store! Of course, humans are also greedy and power shifts could occur, governments could collapse, and wars could break out. So, moral humanity aside, do you think an epidemic at this point in human history would be good for our progression of civilization? Or would it just make things worse? more

Resolved Question: Do I have a chance of getting into an Ivy League?

I'm a senior in Puerto Rico and I really want to go to one of the Ivies, but I'm not sure if I can. I got a 1600 on the SAT (Reading-560, Math-510, Writing-610). I have one of the highest scores in my grade but I know it's nothing compared to kids in the states. My GPA is 3.9, I'm a member of the National Honor Society, and the editor of the yearbook. I want to be a zoologist/documentarist and I do lots of volunteer work (esp. at the animal shelter). I was also an intern for the Rainforest Alliance in New York last year and I received a scholarship to attend a Biological Conservation course at Columbia University last summer. I also have my own jewelry business that I am very serious about (I make everything myself). I'm going to take the Math l, Spanish, and Biology Subject Tests on Saturday but I don't think I'll do well. Will my extracurriculars help make up for my low scores? Can I still get into an Ivy, and if not can you recommend a good school to apply to? Thanks! more

Resolved Question: Global Energy Saving/Co2 emissions?

I`d be interested in other peoples opinions regarding the way we are constantly being brain washed into saving energy. We pay amongst the highest energy prices in the world that should be good enough.Example U.K. Gallon of petrol £5, U.S.£1.50 Another one that winds me up taxation on flying, where is all this money going,I doubt into enviromental projects, Gordon Brown could have bought the rainforest by the end of this year. I believe in energy conservation etc, but why do we even bother when the U.S. just laugh, India and China are just getting started, Lord knows if Africa starts climbing out of the third world. We are just a drop in the ocean. more

Resolved Question: What is the most productive rainforest conservation organization??

I have recently been made aware of how little time we actually have to save the rainforest. That they are the lungs of the world and without them there is no you or me. I love the chance I have been given for life and I have a nephew that I love even more. I understand we only have a 5 to 10 year window to fix things and I would like to say one way or another that I tried to do something for him and for all of us!!! I want to join and aid and organization whose goals and current progress in this area are actually helping this cause. I know this will sound like the ramblings of a do-gooder whose repetitious banter has become somewhat cliché. But I feel as though I must act on behalf of this vast cause!! It’s crazy to think we can save the world, but it’s even crazier to do nothing!! Hope you all feel the same or will after being made aware of the severity of the issue!! more
