I realize there are many different fields within these two areas but just wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction? I've got the impression though that alot of areas in conservation work involves education or lobbying and I'm more interested in 'being out in the field'. I've started reading up on Ecology and that seems more like the type or area I would like to head for but are there any other options? ]]> Environment Forum Colarris http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/forums/environment-forum/62951-career-change.html http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/forums/environment-forum/62421-help-tide-times-archive.html Fri, 30 Oct 2009 09:13:02 GMT Ok I am trying to find out the low and high tide times for Portsmouth for October, November and December 2008.

It quotes from a book called 'Time to Eat the Dog: the real guide to sustainable living' which works out the ecological pawprints of our 'furry friends' - or scaly ones, as a goldfish has a finprint equivalent to to cell-phones. A medium sized dog uses more resources than a Toyota Land Cruiser.
They recommend dual purpose pets like chickens as they lay eggs to make up for what they use - Not very cuddly though:) And you cant use chickens to go walkies either...

The population of China is over 1.5 billion,I guess, perhaps reaching 1.6 billion.In actual fact,Each family has 2.5 children in China. the population in China has not been controlled well.

In actual fact,only about 10% family in china have a child ,about 60% family in china have two children,about 30% family in china have three children or more than three children .in my town even a mother have eleven children.

One Child policy Only is carried in those government units in city,The units staffs salary is given by government,Being afraid of losing work, they only be able to have a child.if they have two children,they would be dismissed by government.but now,The dismissal punishment is insteaded by amercement,many people worked in government unit began to have two child.

Almost all peasant in china country have two or over two children,Government only allow they have a child,but if they pay some money to government,they would be allowed to have two or over two children.One Child family is very seldom in china country.

A great number of children have been born in covertly.these children are not counted by government,they was in No Account of official.

To support a larger population,china have already improved their cultivated land productivity maximum.
The china population is increaseing constantly,The cultivated land area is decreasing constantly.The Large areas of land are damaged by the exploitation of natural resources.

When whole Chinese are excited in China's 60th Anniversary,No one is aware of that a huge crisis between population and resources.No one realized china's ecological environment is deteriorating constantly,No one is worried about Our next generation how to survive?the great majority of Chinese hope owning car,living big and big house, Consuming large source and power as Western nations do.Only I weep in dark for the human future. ]]> Environment Forum chenyu http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/forums/environment-forum/61394-china-population-1-5-billion-perhaps-1-6-billion.html
