Explanation:

Most of the police organisations around the world are quasi military in nature because they also include specific rank of the officers, personnel carry arms, a Hierarchical Structure remains within the organisation. In this case the flow of orders is one way, top to down. This kind of structure differs from military by its close obedience towards the common benefits of the public. These organisations are also characterized by the bureaucratic nature. Specific personnel are ascribed with special kind of duties, they take actions according to the predefined rules, hierarchical structure remains in the authority. There are some upsides as well as some important downside of this structure:

Upsides:

  •  It provides maximum efficiency.
  • 1) This types of organisation is purely systematic and predictable in nature by the exact implication of prescribed rules.
  •  The impersonality relationship principle ensures that the decisions within the organisation are not personnel specific.
  • Division of labor ensures the development of expertise.

Drawbacks:

  • The structure is not flexible.
  • The division of labor increases the number of personnel and with that increases the cost of policing.
  • The idea of "war against crime" comes from the military structure. This idea encourages them to take decisions above the rules.
  • The bureaucratic structure takes a long time for the implementation of the law.

According to James Wilson, there are three main types of police organization structures:

Service style

Management of community is of greater priority, more than the law enforcement.

 Legalistic style

Based on the strict implication of the predefined rules.

Watchman style

In this structure the personals try to solve small conflicts then and there at the spot. Prompt decisions by the personals depending on their own judgement are encouraged.

There are many more types of police structure are found all over the world. One important member of this type of policing system is Community policing. In this case the officer is selected from his own locality and he creates a direct relationship with the people at the locality in order to maintain the law and enforcement there and takes decisions on his own for minor conflicts.

The Asian elephant is the largest land mammal on the Asian continent. They inhabit dry to wet forest and grassland habitats in 13 range countries spanning South and Southeast Asia. While they have preferred forage plants, Asian elephants have adapted to surviving on resources that vary based on the area.

Asian elephants are extremely sociable, forming groups of six to seven related females that are led by the oldest female, the matriarch. Like African elephants, these groups occasionally join others to form larger herds, although these associations are relatively short-lived. In Asia, elephant herd sizes are significantly smaller than those of savannah elephants in Africa.

More than two-thirds of an elephant's day may be spent feeding on grasses, but it also eats large amounts of tree bark, roots, leaves, and small stems. Cultivated crops such as bananas, rice, and sugarcane are favorite foods. Elephants are always close to a source of fresh water because they need to drink at least once a day.

In Asia, humans have had close associations with elephants over many centuries, and elephants have become important cultural icons. According to Hindu mythology, the gods (deva) and the demons (asura) churned the oceans in a search for the elixir of life so that they would become immortal. As they did so, nine jewels surfaced, one of which was the elephant. In Hinduism, the powerful deity honored before all sacred rituals is the elephant-headed Lord Ganesha, who is also called the Remover of Obstacles.

not entirely sure but if ur in a rush, since they're WETlands I doubt they'd prevent flooding, and I dont think that increasing the extinction rate of mammals is a good thing (also if they're good animal habitats why would they cause habitat loss?) like I said not 100 percent but I'm pretty sure
