This research explores the educational potential and threats to biodiversity posed by overproduction exploitation of butterflies in live exhibitions. Ecosystems rely on butterflies. They indicate a shift climate play crucial role pollination. All three art, culture, emotions involve them. Insects belonging lepidoptera order are useful for many reasons, including pollinating plants, spinning silk, signaling changes environment, being aesthetically pleasing. Ecosystem richness variety change...

For a country or area to thrive sustainably, protecting and conserving biodiversity must be top priority on both the national international levels. As group, butterflies are among most significant insects because of roles they play as markers gardeners in nature. Worldwide, over 28,000 butterfly species have been identified. The watershed Bansagar reservoir Shahdol, Madhya Pradesh was subject comprehensive research that included Lepidoptera (Butterflies). first step documenting various...

Purpose Contamination of the environment by heavy metals is a phenomenon global importance today. When present in high concentrations environment, may enter food chain from soils and result health hazards. Accumulation street dust one major way through which find their into subsequently living tissues plants, animals human beings. In this paper, magnitude sources some (Cu, Mn, Fe, Cd, Pb Zn) samples around Gwagwalada, Nigeria, were assessed. Design/methodology/approach Street collected 12...

Climate smart agriculture (CSA) technologies and practices are important for achieving soil moisture conservation, erosion reduction, fertility enhancement, increasing stabilizing crop yield livelihoods, enhanced ecosystem services, food security, tackling climate change problem improving resilience of farming ecosystems. Awareness (and subsequent adoption) these by farmers depends heavily upon a number factors related to the farmer environment. There very few studies that investigate how...

This paper examines the crucial role of organizational structures, particularly specialized-project offices, in promoting adoption weather and climate services (WCS) among farmers within public institutions. Focusing on impact an IFAD-CASP program executed between 2013 2021 Sokoto Katsina states, study employs a mixed-method approach involving 595 farmers. Interviews discussions were conducted with farmers, agrometeorologists, extension officers both program-benefitting states control state...

Pests and diseases are important factors contribution to destruction of biotic components promoting land degradation. Assessing vulnerability areas them is problematic because multiple (such as soil, topography, weather, use/cover need be modelled in an integrated manner. Studies limited that combine Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) Geographic Information Systems (GIS) assess crop pest disease despite the high potentials two techniques carrying out such evaluation. In this study, pests...

Smallholder farming in dryland areas plays a crucial role global food security, yet there is limited research on factors influencing the adoption of soil and water conservation (SWC) measures these regions. This study addresses this gap by investigating SWC practices Dass, Nigeria, identifying key determinants affecting their implementation. Data were gathered through structured questionnaires, interviews, focus groups with farmers across ten wards. Statistical analyses like logistic...

<title>Abstract</title> Background The study aimed to evaluate the impact of treated wastewater effluent on Wupa River's water quality. Specific objectives included assessing quality changes before and after disposal, evaluating existing indices, developing a parametric index, identifying affected parameters locations, providing insights into sewage reuse scarcity. Traditional indices were noted for their limitations, such as data reliability insensitivity fluctuations. Methods A...
