Superiority of Man and the Danger on Natural Resources: Linkage between Human Activities and the Death of Natural Resources in Kenya

Authored by  George Ouma Ochola

Abstract

There are various explanations which try to clarify the position occupied by man as an organism on the earth’s surface. Some scientific explanations have asserted that man evolved from primate beings and became a superior being overtime. On the other hand, the Biblical explanation provides the work done by the Supernatural Being in creating man on the sixth day and giving him dominion over all the birds of the air and other creatures on the earth’s surface and in the see (Genesis 1:28). According to this verse, God Himself blessed man and gave him power to increase in number, fill the earth and to subdue it. This did not stop there, man was given power to rule over other creatures such as fish in the sea, birds among other living creatures that move on the ground. This is what is provided by the Judeo-Christian Ethic. The dominion that was given to man has not been utilized appropriately. Many resources have been degraded and some species have been lost. The power to increase, fill and subdue the earth has not been sustainable. Man has considered himself so superior that other organisms are now threatened with extinction. Rivers, streams, lakes, wetlands, forest ecosystems are now becoming endangered. Ironically, as man fails to consider these resources, he also endangers himself. This study was exploratory and used survey and document analysis to gather information. The findings of this study have revealed that the modern man digs his own grave by considering himself to be so superior and failing to take concern over other resources. The study therefore advocates for change of attitude among individuals for sustainable use of the available natural resources.

Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Environmental Sciences & Natural Resources Impact of Various Levels of Phosphorus on Wheat (CV.PIRSABAK-2013) Authored by Sajid Islam Abstract An experiment was conducted at Cereals Crops Research Institute Pirsabak Nowhere on 'Impact of various levels of phosphorus on Wheat (cv. PIRSABAK-2103) during winter 2014-15. The experiment consisted of single factor i.e. phosphorus levels 0, 45, 60, 75 and 90 kg ha -1 . The experiment was carried out in simple randomized complete block (RCB) design, having three replications. Sub plot size was 5m x 1.8m. Row to row distance was kept as 30 cm. Agronomical treatments were kept the same for all the plots. Leaf area tiller -1 , days to heading, days to physiological maturity, plant height, spikes m -2 , spike length, grains spike -1 , thousands grains weight, biological yield and grain yield were significantly (p<0.05) affected by various levels of phosphorus. Maximum weight of thousand grai

  Juniper Publishers-Open Access Journal of Environmental Sciences & Natural Resources The European Social Innovation Competition Lottery Authored by Luigi Antonio Pezone Introduction I participate in the "2018 European Social Innovation Competition" even though this competition is a real lottery, to make known my environmental solutions, which go beyond this competition, because, I believe that the current model of development is unsustainable and cannot be understood by those who do not observe the development from different scientific and practical points of view that can be acquired only after many years of transversal experiences, which modern society does not allow to acquire, as it rewards specialists in individual sectors. Global reasoning is essential to develop sustainable innovative social projects. But it is also difficult that these projects can be understood by the judges of these types of competitions, if they do not know the global design project. Indeed,

Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Environmental Sciences & Natural Resources Plant Microbiomes and Its Beneficial Multifunctional Plant Growth Promoting Attributes Authored by Ajar Nath Yadav Abstract Plant microbiome (Epiphytic, endophytic and rhizospheric) plays important role in plant growth, development, and soil health. Plant and rhizospheric soil are valuable natural resource harbouring hotspots of microbes, and it plays critical roles in the maintenance of global nutrient balance and ecosystem function. The diverse group of microbes is key components of soil-plant systems, where they are engaged in an intense network of interactions in the rhizosphere/phyllospheric/endophytic. The microbes with plant growth promoting (PGP) attributes have emerged as an important and promising tool for sustainable agriculture. PGP microbes promote plant growth and development directly or indirectly, either by releasing plant growth regulators/phytohormones;
