<em><u>Using Forests Wisely:</u></em>
In "Using Forests Wisely," we learn about how people are cutting trees at an alarming rate. This is extremely worrying for two reasons: first, because the trees of the world support four-fifths of all land species, and because they also support a quarter of the population of the world. Trees are also important for obtaining oxygen.
Cutting down trees can also have important business and economic implications. A lack of trees would mean that products such as paper owuld become more expensive. It would also mean that less resources would be available for industries. However, on the other hand, trees need to be cut in order for us to produce a great variety of materials. Moreover, trees need to be cut in order to make room for houses and other developments. These economic concerns delayed scientists' first attempts for conservation.
<em><u>Community Conservation:</u></em>
In "Community Conservation," we learn about the destruction of the forests where gorillas live. People in regions where gorilla live have to make use of these habitats because they need land for farming and housing.
Gorillas are not only affected by the destruction of their habitats, but also by the actions of poachers, who hunt them for their skin and fur.
The annihilation of gorillas can have many negative effects to society. Less gorillas in certain regions such as Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo can mean less tourism. This would affect the livelihood of the villagers in the region, as they will receive less profits.
This is the main reason why the numbers of gorillas are increasing. People have realized that gorillas are extremely important to the region because of the tourists who visit them and the revenue that comes from such tourists.
C. Upper Boundary of the zone of saturation
The water table is the upper surface of the zone of saturation. Water seeps into the ground through pore spaces in rock and soil.
<h2>Answer</h2>
<h3>This paper traces the history of human-environment interactions in the Pacific Islands during the last millennium, focusing on three main periods: the Little Climatic Optimum, the Little Ice Age, and, in greatest detail, the transition around A.D. 1300 between the two. The Little Climatic Optimum (approximately A.D. 750–1300) was marked by warm, rising temperatures, rising sea level and probably increasing aridity. The latter condition was linked to development of water-conservatory strategies (agricultural terracing being the most common) requiring cooperation between human groups which facilitated formation of large nucleated settlements and increased sociopolitical complexity. The transition period (approximately A.D. 1270–1475) involved rapid temperature and sea-level fall, perhaps a short-lived precipitation increase. Temperature fall stressed crops and reef organisms, sea-level fall lowered water tables and exposed reef surfaces reducing their potential as food resources for coastal dwellers. Increased precipitation washed away exposed infrastructure. Consequently food resource bases on many islands diminished abruptly across the transition. The Little Ice Age (approximately A.D. 1300–1800) was marked by cooler temperatures and lower sea levels. The lingering effects of the earlier transition largely determined human lifestyles during this period. Conflict resulted from resource depletion. Unprotected coastal settlements were abandoned in favour of fortified inland, often upland, settlements. Climate change is suggested to have been a important determinant of human cultural change during the last millennium in the Pacific Islands.</h3>

Simple, we weren't around during that time, so we made theories and conclusions to when life evolved on earth.
