An object is placed at a distance of 30 cm in front of a convex mirror of focal length 15 cm. Write four characteristics of the image formed by the mirror.
What is sustainable management? Why is reuse considered better in comparison to recycle ?
Management of forest and wild life resources is a very challenging task. Why ? Give any two reasons.
Management of the forest and wildlife resources is considered as a challenging task because:
1. Industries would consider the forest as merely a source of raw material for its factories and huge interest-groups lobby the government for access to these raw materials at artificially low rates which further poses a challenge to manage the forest and wildlife resources.
2.There are many stakeholders of forest. They are those people who are directly or indirectly involved in the forest. Management of forest and wildlife has to take into account the interests of all these stakeholders which become a challenging task.
