  Juniper Publishers-Open Access Journal of Environmental Sciences & Natural Resources Climate Change Combat – A Conspectus Authored by Dar JA Abstract Climate change is one of the major issues, which is currently threatening several ecosystems and affecting the livelihoods. Climate change could happen due to natural and/or anthropogenic causes, although the latter has acted as a key trigger in the last few decades. Climate change and global warming are mainly due to the emission of greenhouse gases, of which carbon dioxide is one of the predominant greenhouse gases and several initiatives have been undertaken to reduce its emission and by sequestering it in different carbon pools. Oceans and forests are considered to be important carbon reservoirs in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems respectively. In forests, carbon is largely stored in vegetation biomass, especially that of trees and soil. Alongside the implementation of carbon mitigation programmes, various databases have...

  Juniper Publishers-Open Access Journal of Environmental Sciences & Natural Resources The Human Crocodile Conflicts and the Sustainable Conflict Resolutions Review Authored by Chakuya Jeremiah Abstract The survival of Nile crocodiles in both protected areas and communal areas has been associated with an increasingly uncertainty due to a combination of natural and anthropogenic threats. In this regard sustainable conservation methods are highly recommended in as far as Human and Crocodile Conflicts (HCC) are concerned. Anthropogenic activities are viewed as potential threat to crocodile survival and some people in turn see crocodiles as dangerous problem animals to their activities. The traditional HCC resolutions have been blamed for increasing attacks on humans and livestock resulting in decreased local support for conservation initiatives hence the need to have satisfactory and effective HCC resolution. The review pointed out that little work has been done on the sustainabl...
