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 Effects of Land Use/Cover Type On Surface Water Quality: In The Case Of Chancho and Sorga Watershed, East Wollega Zone, Oromia, Ethiopia Authored by Tolera Megersa Abstract Background:   It has been widely accepted that there is a close relationship between the land use type and water quality. Land use/cover type can influence surface water quality either positively or negatively depending up on the cover type of the study area. Methods and Materials:   This study aims to analyze the influence of various land use types on the water quality within three sub watersheds based on water quality monitoring data for the selected water quality parameters and DEM and Google earth image of 2016 used for watershed delineation and land use/cover classification of the study sub-watersheds. Result: The result indicated that there were significant differences among the land use/cover types in dete...

  Juniper Publishers-Open Access Journal of Environmental Sciences & Natural Resources Living in the Rural Areas Authored by Michael Padi Abstract This article is to describe the kind of situations that rural people face, and things that needs to be known when living in such a condition. Snakes, scorpions, mosquitoes and ants are animals that are associated with rural dueling. Aside all these dangers life can be bearable if certain tactics are applied in daily livings.

  Juniper Publishers-Open Access Journal of Environmental Sciences & Natural Resources Application of Aquifer Parameters in Evaluating Groundwater Potential of Logo Area, Benue State, Nigeria Authored by Diloha II Abstract Logo Area has a complex hydrogeological terrain resulting from its geology which comprises basement complex and low permeability Cretaceous sediments of Middle Benue Trough of Nigeria. This work was targeted at evaluating the groundwater potential of the study is a using pumping test data. Constant rate pumping test with single well was carried out in twenty boreholes at selected locations. The transmissivity values were computed from the pumping test data using Cooper and Jacob [1] Method and analyzed through descriptive statistical testing and Krasny Transmissivity Classification Scheme (KTCS) for the determination of Transmissivity variations and spatial distribution of the groundwater supply potential of the area. The result of transmissivity analysis ba...
