Preservation And Conservation Of The Chukkunga Holy Qur’An Fombina Palace Museum, Yola Adamawa Emirate, Musa Salih Muhammad
Musa Salih Muhammad
This paper explores the process of conservation and preservation of the Chukkunga Holy Qur’an found in the Fombina Palace Museum of Adamawa Emirate in Yola. The Qur’an (Chukkunga) is an ancient Manuscript said to have been used by Modibbo Adama, the founder of the Fombina (Adamawa) Emirate, (1771-1847); a major part of the eastern Emirates of the Sokoto Caliphate. The paper is essentially a report of the conservation and preservation works on the deteriorated Holy Qur’an called Chukkunga in Fulfulde language meaning huge papers.

Can Sharks Be Saved? A Global Plan Of Action For Shark Conservation In The Regime Of The Convention On Migratory Species, James Kraska, Leo Chan Gaskins
Seattle Journal of Environmental Law
Shark populations throughout the world are at grave risk; some spe-cies have declined by 95 percent. The most recent IUCN (Interna-tional Union for the Conservation of Nature) assessment by the Shark Specialist Group (SSG) found that one-fourth of shark and ray spe-cies face the prospect of extinction. This article proposes an engage-ment plan to accelerate efforts by states and international organiza-tions to conserve and protect sharks worldwide. Sharks are found throughout all of the world’s oceans, and collec-tively they occupy an indispensable niche as apex predators at the top of the ocean trophic ecosystem. These fish function as an im-portant …

Do Zoos And Aquariums Promote Attitude Change In Visitors? A Critical Evaluation Of The American Zoo And Aquarium Study, Lori Marino, Scott O. Lilienfeld, Randy Malamud, Nathan Nobis, Ron Broglio
Lori Marino, PhD
Modern-day zoos and aquariums market themselves as places of education and conservation. A recent study conducted by the American Zoo and Aquarium Association (AZA) (Falk et al., 2007) is being widely heralded as the first direct evidence that visits to zoos and aquariums produce long-term positive effects on people’s attitudes toward other animals. In this paper, we address whether this conclusion is warranted by analyzing the study’s methodological soundness. We conclude that Falk et al. (2007) contains at least six major threats to methodological validity that undermine the authors’ conclusions. There remains no compelling evidence for the claim that zoos …
