Spider Monkey description.
Geoffroy's Spider Monkey Presented by: Spider Monkey Kingdom Animalia Phylum Chordata Class Mammalia Order Primates Family Cebidae Subfamily Atelinae I. Introduction * Spider Monkey description New world monkeys, such as the Spider monkey are more primitive than are old world monkeys. Their brains are less complex, their thumbs are not opposable and their nostrils are further apart. They have slender bodies and limbs with long narrow hands. The black-handed spider monkey has a light to medium brown body and darker limbs with the hands and feet usually black in color. Their tail is sometimes longer than their body. The Spider monkey has a prehensile tail that is muscular and tactile and is used as an extra hand. Both the underside and tip of the tail are used for climbing and grasping. When swinging by the tail, the hands are free to gather food. Both acrobatic and swift, Spider monkeys move through the trees, with one arm stride covering up to 40 feet. Spider monkeys live in evergreen rainforests, semi deciduous and mangrove forests, from Southern Mexico to Brazil. They almost never come to the ground, remaining up in the upper canopy, preferring undisturbed high forest. Spider monkeys live in medium-sized, loosely associated groups of about 30 individuals, which fragment into subgroups of varying smaller sizes and composition. Since their thumb is
My pilot study and extended investigation is to be conducted at Hunt's Bay, Gower.
INTRODUCTION My pilot study and extended investigation is to be conducted at Hunt's Bay, Gower. Hunt's Bay or Deep Slade is situated on the Gower Peninsula facing south. The OS (ordinance survey) grid reference of hunt's bay, from a mumbles and south Gower map is 564 868 (see appendix 1). It is a rocky beach. The rocks are made up of carboniferous limestone, a sedimentary rock. We decided that the bedding planes at Hunt's Bay are about 45 degrees from each other, with smooth fronts due to erosion by the sea. This will affect the type and amount of sea life at the beach. Cliff face Sea 45 degrees Aim of Pilot study The aim of my pilot study is to conduct a transect of Hunt's Bay. From this, I will be able to produce a zonation pattern for the beach, draw a profile of the beach, calculate the exposure rating and discuss the distribution of various organisms found on the beach. This will help me with my extended investigation. Method for conducting a transect at Hunt's Bay The method I am going to use to conduct a transect at Hunt's Bay is the Cross-Staff method. (Refer to appendix 2) Tides A tide is a periodic rise and fall of all ocean waters, including those of open sea, gulfs and bays. The tide will rise and fall twice approximately every 25 hours, giving two high tides and two low tides daily. Tides are the result from the
Sao Paulo Research.
SAO PAULO RESEARCH Environment - current issues: there is a lucrative illegal wildlife trade; air and water pollution in Sao Paulo, and several other large cities; land degradation and water pollution caused by improper mining activities; wetland degradation; severe oil spills www.cia.gov Sao Paulo Situated 760m above sea level, the city of Sao Paulo, in the state of Sao Paulo, represents today an area of approximately 1500 km², consisting of 900 km² of urban area and a rural area of approximately 600 km². These two areas together are known as Grande Sao Paulo (Greater Sao Paulo), the biggest population in South America with almost 15 million people. It consists of the old centre, the suburbs and a huge number of districts which make up this megalopolis, and tell the history of the city and its population. Initially inhabited by indigenous natives and 16th century Portuguese colonisers, the city also recieved, in the 17th century - as did almost all the south central and north-east regions of the country, a considerable African slave population, the main source of manual labour for the coffee and sugar-cane plantations. Its population, though, grew very slowly until the middle of the 19th century. At this time, the area which is now formed by Greater Sao Paulo was still made up of small population areas, the future districts of Pinheiros, Freguesia do Ó and Lapa.
Bestwood Country Park is situated in North Nottinghamshire 4 miles north of the Nottingham City Centre, on the rural-urban fringe.
Introduction Bestwood Country Park is situated in North Nottinghamshire 4 miles north of the Nottingham City Centre, on the rural-urban fringe. The Park contains approximately 650 acres of varied countryside land and is boarded in part by housing estates, which in itself is a rarity as it is very unusual to find a site of such ecological quality on the edge of a large city. It is very accessible form Nottingham city and its communities as well as neighbouring counties. Below I have displayed two maps, one of the area and the other of the region. MAP X2 The map above shows Bestwood Park in relation to the East Midlands and the M1. As you can see from the above, Bestwood Park not only serves the local population, but is accessible from elsewhere via the M1 motorway, and can therefore attract from a greater population. Bestwood Park was formerly part of Sherwood Forest, a wide expanse of habitats including heath woodland and pastures. Before Bestwood Park was created the land was a royal hunting estate, used by many English kings and dukes. The landscape of this area was dramatically changed, when in the 19th century Duke of St Albans granted a lease on his land to the Bestwood Iron and Coal Colliery Company. This was the start of the mining industry. The village of Bestwood was created to house the workers. In 1939 the estate was sold to the army, who created the housing

Spain: European Studies
This project on European Studies will be on the beautiful country of Spain and its football history. My project will include the three must topics and anther five compulsory topics which consist of: * National sport/ Famous sport people * Tourism * Language & culture (festivals ect) * History -key dates/ events in the history of the country * Geography& climate Most of the compulsory topics I will be doing an overview of the topic since my project will be based mostly on the National sport/ Famous sport people of the country. In this project I will explain in detail the football history of country and its high rated football teams. My 'Language Model' which includes a two hundred word essay of your target language, will be on Spanish based on the topic of 'Self, family and friends. I will lay out my topics in three different layouts, which will be tourist brochure for 'Tourism', an historical diary for 'National sport/ Famous sport people' and a mini dictionary of useful phrases for the 'Language Module'. The next few pages will be on my Spanish European Project so I hope you like it and find it interesting. Spain is most famously know for its beautiful beaches however it is also know for its great football team and its football tradition. Alejandro McKay formed Spain's first club, Huelva Recreation Club, on 23 December 1889, featuring a mix of local Spanish
Management of woodland area.
Management of woodland area I am required to draw up a preliminary plan for the management of woodland area. Currently, the woodland area is not open to the public, but will be opened to the public within a year or so. My plan is obviously subject to change after I visit the Epping Forest. The forest has a stream running through it and a few ponds that drain into the stream. The mud around these ponds can be soft and up to a meter deep. Task 1 Epping Forest is an ancient forest as it has been around for a very long time. And during this long period many animals and plants became a part of Epping Forest. Also during this period many things changed. Many new species were introduced many old species disappeared. The human factor has been a big impact in Epping Forest ever since the day it was established. But also, physical factors within the forest have caused many changes. I am going to carry out a survey in order to find out which animals and plants are present within the forest. In the forest there are small animals and big animals, small plants and big plants. Identifying the plants are very easy, big animals will be easy as well as I've seen and I can identify deers, rabbits, foxes etc. But identifying small animals such as insects is a bit difficult as they are too small and I've not studied anything about insects. To measure big animals I am going to count them

The social costs and benefits of business activity- Paddington Basin Regeneration Project.
Unit 21 The social costs and benefits of business activity - Paddington Basin Regeneration Project - Mohammed Abu Saleh 13AG3 Social costs and benefits of business activity Contents: Introduction 3 Stakeholders 5 Environmental costs and benefits 0 Pressure groups and local community protest groups 3 Environmental Legislations 5 Government Regional Policy 7 Public Meeting 9 Environmental Improvements 21 Recommendations 22 Sources of Information 24 Business Questionnaire 26 Action Plan 27 Introduction One of the largest regeneration programmes in Europe including over 2 million sq ft of mixed use development is taking place in Paddington. Paddington is surrounded by some key places in central London. From the aerial picture it can be seen that it is surrounded by Kensington, Mayfair and Knightsbridge. It also has the advantage of being next to Regents and Hyde Park. Paddington is an ideal investment for a regeneration scheme as it has direct tube links to all London mainline terminals. Prior to the development Paddington used to be a deprived brown field site. The area lacked shops and services and was of no interest to large companies. However, the PBRP (Paddington Basin Regeneration Project) was set up to improve the area, attract investors and provide a clean, safe and appealing place to live and work. Regeneration has two broad roles:
