JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES & NATURAL RESOURCES Appraisal of Homo sapiens as a ‘Super Organism’ Authored by Kaufui Vincent Wong Ants were proffered as a super organism by Wilson who pioneered the field of sociobiology. Homo sapiens are submitted as a potential ‘super organism’ of the solar system because we have higher standards to strive for before claiming that the status has been attained. The concept of ‘super organism’ is used figuratively, rather than literally. The resilience of the ants, and they’re not killing themselves, are two specific qualities that are being epitomized in the article. The ‘super organism’ status might be extended to an ideal for the purpose of focusing the proper reimagining of the purpose of human beings as a biological species in the order of the Universe. Conflict and the use of fire arms may be viewed as evolutionary consequences in the adaptation of human beings to acting positively as a single u...

JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES & NATURAL RESOURCES Wildlife Numbers May Be Improved By Team Work between Homo sapiens and Big Cats by Kaufui V Wong in International Journal of Environmental Sciences & Natural Resources  Authored by Kaufui V Wong The World Wildlife Fund and the Zoological Society of London have sponsored a study which has concluded in October 2016, that the population of wildlife has decreased by 58% worldwide in the last forty years. This problem needs to be addressed. The attitude of Homo sapiens towards big carnivores has started to change about three decades ago around the Gir Protected Area (Gir PA), India. The people around the Gir PA in southern Gujarat, has possibly shown the way of how to collaborate with resident local lion pride to control deer and antelope populations in their area. The deer and antelope are agricultural pests and come frequently at night to graze on the choice vegetative tid-b...

JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES & NATURAL RESOURCES An Investigation of Ground Water Aquifer Characteristics of Sarcee Reserve Authored by Roger Saint-Fort This study investigates the ground water aquifer characteristics used domestically by the residents of Sarcee Reserve. Local flow systems in the sub-horizontal sandstones and shales probably occur with the well fractured sandstone units acting as collectors for the downward moving ground water of overlying units. Four basic types of ground waters were identified based on the major ions chemistry. The Na, K-HCO3, CO3 type represents 56% of the ground water samples and is most representative of moderate to deep bedrock. A mixed type dominated by SO4-2 or HCO3- anions and either Ca, Mg, or Na, K cations form 30% of this classification. Typically found in ground water discharge areas. A Ca, Mg-HCO3, CO3 type represents 8% of the ground water of this type and occurs in relati...
