SIWA
Environmental Quality International in SIWA
Egypt has long been seen as a place rich in tradition and culture. With specific respect to Siwa, a region in the country, this was very much true when it was discovered by an investor in 1995, who described it as untouched by time.

This has helped alleviate the country's employment problem, but much remains to be done, and not all reforms have been wholly positive. The paragraphs below will focus further on the Siwa region, and the specific project which it entails, and will discuss the objectives of the project introduced here, as well as pertinent issues and how they have and will affect the country.
Project Objective and Scope: A Description
The Siwa Sustainable Development Initiative was...
According to reports, Environmental Quality International (EQI), the principal investor, brought about both technical expertise and practical experience to ensure the development of the region, especially the utilization of its rich natural resources and unique cultural heritage.
The Siwa project thus began on a basis of helping a company help a country. The scope was simply to develop a part of Egypt that had been untouched for generations by the hand of industry. Prior to investing in this part of the country, however, the company completed a study of the country and it was found that Egypt, in fact, was counted number one among those countries introducing investor-friendly policies. This was simply another incentive for EQI to being its project.
Stakeholders and Issues
Siwa had, as mentioned above, been left untouched, and for this reason, it had little infrastructure.…

The central issue remains the status of the sea; which has prevented any real efforts towards negotiations that could solve the environmental problems.

FSC encourages businesses in Argentina using forest resources to promote a sustainable business policy and discourages businesses that neglect environmental and habitat concerns. Thus the FSC in effect is a global collaborative effort to minimize environmental damage and promote environmentally sustainable business practices and by doing so, protect our world from threats of global warming, acid rain, drastic climatic shifts and other serious consequences of environmental destruction and pollution.
Environmental Problems Caused by Humans The old growth forest is rich ecosystems which provide a home for Northern spotted Owl at the same time a habitat for the primary prey for the owl. However the same trees of firs and cedars that serves as a habitat for the owl is also the primary source of a lucrative multibillion dollar logging industry. If there is a destruction of the forest due to
In India, the government is attempting to bring the focus of attention on the presence of fine dust particles as well as the presence of fly ash in the air, and this attempt is being carried out by a series of mitigation measures. The need of the day is to take certain practical steps that would succeed in tackling the problem to some extent, and it is towards this
Some forms of energy, such as wave and tidal energy and hydrogen fuel cells are still being studied. Another writer states, "Techniques to harness the energy found in the oceans are best developed for tidal power, wave power and ocean thermal energy conversion" (Middleton 52). Many other types of alternative energy, such as solar, wind, biomass, and geothermal energies are all being used where they make sense. Other solutions
Extinction Theory and Its Impact in Contemporary Society The apparently sudden mass extinction of Dinosaurs marks the boundary between the Cretaceous and Tertiary periods. This catastrophic event has also triggered a large amount of interest in both scientific and general communities. Many speculations have thus been made regarding the reasons for the death of the dinosaurs. These include extreme changes in the global climate and sea levels, and supernova explosions. During the
