Birds and Their Nests
Birds differ in their behavior just as much as their physical traits. They even use very different methods to build their nests. Some bird nests have the art of architecture beyond our imagination. Birds build their nests in many different places and environments. Some live on high branches, some live in bushes and some of them even nest on the ground. Birds use their nests mainly to hatch their eggs and raise their offspring.
Because of the destruction of trees, plants, bushes, ect., these birds are losing their habitats and breeding grounds. There is a great lack of optional breeding areas for birds. Proper breeding areas for birds are decreasing at an alarming rate. Nowadays, it is hard for birds to find even the space to build nests.
Some birds build nests on naturally formed tree hollows on ancient trees. But unfortunately, there are very less old trees left in our country except rural areas. Ducks are going towards extinction because they build their nest on old trees using the hollows, and we have almost no such trees. We know that birds play an invaluable and irreplaceable role in nature.
We should not destroy or harm any bird’s nest. We can teach our children to observe birds and nests and how they take care of their eggs. If we can encourage our children like this, it will be a great start to their education.We need to let people know how to keep enough open space around their homes where birds will feel safe. This is not just for the birds; it will help us too. We will gain more in the long run if we preserve the forests for our leisure and for animals and birds.

River Pollution
River pollution occurs when pollutants are not removed from sewage and are discharged into the river. River water is a very important source of freshwater required to sustain life.We need a constant supply of fresh water for drinking, cooking and wasing. Animals living near the river, as well as fishes and aquatic plants, also depend on clean river water.
When heavy rainfall occurs, pollutants accumulated within the boundaries of the catchment area
May be washed into river channels. These pollutants include a variety of agrochemicals like fertilizers and insecticides.
Waste water containing cleaning detergents, oil and other pollutants like industrial waste may be discharged into the river channels through our drainage systems. Industrial waste may contain sulfur, resulting in increasing the activity of the river water. Sometimes, rubbish such as plastic bags and bottles, are also washed into the river channel.

Environmental Impacts of Tourism
Negative impacts from tourism occur when the level of visitor use is greater than the environment’s ability to cope with this use. It can put enormous pressure on an area and lead to impacts such as soil erosion, increased pollution, dischages into the sea, natural habitat loss, increased pressure on endangerd species and heightened vulnerability to forest fires.
Water, and especially fresh water, is one of the most critical natural resources. The tourism industry generrally overuses water resources for hotels, swimming pools, golf cources and personal use of water by tourists. This can result in water shortages and degradation of water supplies, as well as generating a greater volume of waste water.
Golf course maintenance can also deplete fresh water resources. In recent years, golf tourism has increased in popularity and the number of golf courses has grown rapidly. Golf course require an enormous amount of water every day and, as with other cause of excessive extraction of water, this can result in water scarcity.
Tourism can create great pressure on local resources like energy, food, and other raw materials that may already be in short supply. Because of the seasonal character of the industry, many destinations have ten times more inhabitants in the high season as in the low season. A high demand is placed upon these resources to meet the high expectations of tourists for proper heating, hot water, ect.
In areas with high concentrations of tourist activities and appealing natural atractions, waste disposal is a serious problem. In mountain areas, trekking tourists generate a great deal of waste. Tourists on expedition leave behind their garbage, oxygen cylinders and even camping equipment. Some trails in the Peruvian Andes and in Nepal frequently visited by tourists have been nicknamed “Coca – Cola trail” and ‘Toilet paper trail”

How to Stop Water Pollution
Water pollution is one of the biggest threats to the environment to day. There are several sources of water pollution ranging from sewage and fertilizers to soil erosion. The impact of water pollution on wildlife and their natural habitat can be immense. There are also a number of things that the average person can do to help stop water pollution.
We should converse the soil because soil conservation influences water pollution through erosion. A soil is eroded by water, it transfers sediment from the land to the body of water, which is polluted by the chemicals in the sediment. Phosphorus and industrial chemicals can be pulled into water through soil erosion. When phosphorus levels in water become too high, they can lead to algae bloons that can cause massive fish deaths and make water unsafe for human use. The best way to prevent soil erosion is to keep the banks of rivers well – covered with plants or trees. Planting trees can have a significantly positive impact on the reduction in soil erosion.
The soil used to lubricate engines in all types of machines needs to be changed regularly. When the oil is changed, it presents a number of environmental hazards if not disposed of properly. When a leaky engine releases this oil into the street, it runs to the sewer and makes its way into waterways.
Wherever you see a lot of human recreation, you will almost always see lots of evidence of human use. Wrappers, bottles and other trash are unfortunately a common site at many well – used beaches and rivers around the world. It would be fairly obvious that the trash from these places often ends up in waterways and can cause pollution. Plastics are an especially big issue when it comes to water contamination at beaches and waterways. Picking up litter wherever you find it is honestly the best, fastest way to do your part to stop this type of water pollution.
Organize cleaning parties with local people to make the reach larger. Get businesses involved as sponsors who will donate prizes to the person who collects the most trash if you’re having a hard time finding people to sign up to help.
It is estimated that the consumption of plastic by humans is between 250 and 300 million tons a year. About 80% of the plastic in the oceans came from the land. Using alternatives to plastics or using “less disposable” plastics whenever possible can have a surprising impact on ocean pollution. The fact that plastic is cheap and useful for different purposes makes it obvious choices for many people.
