In some places, the environment was a campaign issue.   The Chairman of the House Resources Committee, Richard Pombo (R-CA-11), lost his seat because of his agenda to sell national parks, gut the Endangered Species Act, and drill in ANWR.  Environmental groups threw money and support behind Jerry McNerney, an alternative energy engineer who won the seat.\n\nFor further evidence, look at the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, which for years was Chaired by James Inhofe (R-OK), who thinks global warming is a hoax.  When the Democrats take control in January, the new Chairwoman is Barbara Boxer (D-CA), who believes global warming is the most important issue facing our generation.\n\nEven though the environment was drowned out by issues like the Iraq War and immigration, there is still a big difference between the environmental agenda of Republicans and Democrats.  Still, with a slim majority and a Republican President with veto power, don't expect too much change right away.

Pollution and DDT can cause poor environments.  All the oil and logging industries causes detriment to fishing of salmon for eagles.  As civilization expands their habitat shrinks.

Several marine mammal species need a special CITES export permit. They can only be obtained by contacting the USFWS authorities in Virginia. Be aware that this process will take 4-8 weeks with a $100 fee, and a $95 inspection fee, if shipped from anywhere other than Anchorage. Please contact:\n\nUSFWS Division of Management Authority \n4401 N. Fairfax Dr., Room 700\nArlington, VA. 22203\n(800) 358-2104\n\nThose animals are:\n\nSea otter (Enhydra lutris)  \nPolar bear  (Ursus maritimus) \nWalrus  (Odebenus rosmarus) \nWhale Bone/Teeth Suborder Odontoceti (Baird's includes the Curier's, and Stejneger's Beaked Whales, the Orca and the Beluga Whale but not the Baird's (Bottlenose) Beaked Whale.)

Effects of deforestation.\n\nthis can be a local problem with global consequences.\n\ncan be biology and chemsitry (maybe physics as well, heat flows etc.)

Hi, please visit these 2 URLs :\nhttp://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=utf-8&fr=slv8-msgr&p=environment%2bdiversity%2bwater\nhttp://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&q=environment%2Bdiversity%2Bwater\n...All the websites, which contain the facts and pics you need, are listed in these 2 URLs. \nSince none of these sites were set-up to meet only your school project's needs (!), no one site will provide what all you need. You will have to take matter from 2 or 3 sites, and summarise them - and then organise the matter in proper order, for your paper.\nBest of Luck, dear.

Be careful.\n\nThat environment can be dangerous.

The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources maintains the largest conservation and environmental stewardship education program in the commonwealth. Through a variety of educational and informational programs from one corner of the commonwealth to the other, DCNR staff annually educate hundreds of thousands of students, teachers and visitors to Pennsylvania's state parks and forests.\n\nConservation and environmental stewardship extends beyond our public lands. It starts with every citizen of any age. Conservation and Environmental stewardship extends to cities and towns because plants and animals seek out space to grow and live in areas right in the middle of houses, stores, offices and other busy places just as they seek habitat in our beautiful wild areas.\n\nDelaware Canal State Park\nNatural AreasPennsylvania state park natural areas are of unique scenic, geological or ecological value. These areas are maintained in a natural condition by allowing physical and biological processes to operate, usually without human intervention. Natural areas are set aside to provide locations for scientific observation of natural systems, to protect examples of typical and unique plant and animal communities and to protect outstanding examples of natural interest and beauty.\n\nDelaware Canal State Park has two designated state park natural areas – Nockamixon Cliffs and River Islands. These areas contain threatened or endangered species and are unique natural environments. Visitors are welcome to explore these areas, but are asked to abide by the old saying, “take only pictures, leave only footprints.” Camping within natural area, including the river islands, is prohibited.\n\nRiver IslandsEleven state park river islands are now protected natural areas within a river corridor that is experiencing dramatic economic growth. The islands provide critical habitat for migratory waterfowl and songbirds, contain sites of archaeological importance, and enhance recreational opportunities for fishermen and canoeists.\n\nSome river islands, such as Hendrick Island, were originally park of the main shoreline, but most islands grew individually from the river itself. Silt and stone left by glacial waters almost 10,000 years ago form the substrate of these islands. Seeds were eventually deposited by wind, water or wildlife. As plants grow on the islands, the roots bind the substrate materials together. Although they are relatively stable, the size, shape and location of the islands shift slightly with the movement of the river water.\n\nNockamixon CliffsTopography, geology, and scenic beauty combine to create the unique character of the Nockamixon Cliffs Natural Area. These sheer cliffs tower 300 feet above the Delaware River and dominate the landscape. Because the cliffs face the north, they receive little direct sunlight. This cool habitat supports an alpine-arctic plant community unusual this far south. Almost directly across the Delaware River, an opposite set of circumstances occurs, creating habitat for unusually arid plants.\n\nNockamixon Cliffs originated geologically from reddish sands and mud carried by torrential streams from the northwest. Massive amounts of these sediments were deposited into temporary shallow lakes. The resulting red sandstone and shale can still be found throughout the region. They are bright red and break easily into flakes and fragments.\n\nToward the end of the Triassic Period, molten magma from deep with the earth’s crust flowed into these beds of sedimentary rock. The “igneous intrusions” heated the surrounding sandstone and shale, changing them into tough, weather-resistant rock called hornfel.\n\nDuring the Jurassic Period, the region was subjected to continuous erosion. While some other rock, such as the sandstone and shale were worn away, the hornfel resisted weathering, allowing the Nockamixon Cliffs to “rise” above the surround landscape.

The central piedmont region, with its rolling hills, flattens out into the sandy coastal plain toward the Atlantic Ocean.\n\nClimate:\nMild with four distinct seasons\n\nArea:\n42,767 square miles\n\nPopulation:\n6,872,900 in 1999\n\nMajor Industries:\nManufacturing, exports, tourism, which accounted for $13.1 billion in 2000 - up from $12.4 billion in 1999 - and employed more than 200,000 workers, high technology and agriculture\n\nCapital:\nRichmond (since 1780)\n\nBeverage: Milk\nBird: Cardinal\nBoat: Chesapeake Bay Deadrise\nDog: Foxhound\nFish: Brook Trout\nFlag: The flag of Virginia contains the state seal in a field of blue.
