The water under the private land belongs to the owner of the surface unless the land is owned under split state. The surface owner has the right to extract and

Animals call Earth home, just like we do, but there are so many creatures that die because of us. When we take these animals from their homes we need to give them a good place to live at. Many of the animals we capture, are put into zoos. I know that zoos many be fun and exciting but we need to look closer as to how the animals are being treated. Today, many creatures living in zoos are not getting the things they need to live well. Many starve or do not have enough space for them to move in their

occupying about isolated areas of mountain forest (WWF, 2014a) in China. These forests are areas of high biodiversity and likely contain a wide variety of unknown species. It is, therefore, important to protect them. As a result of the ongoing conservation of Pandas, the habitat is relatively secure, gradually increasing and becoming less isolated due to new corridors (China’s Ministry of Forestry & WWF, 1989) between forests. “The provincial governments of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu, working closely
