ANSWERS

Q1) What is illegal logging?

Illegal logging is the cutting of wood illegally. Illegal logging is one of the main cause for the loss of habitats like the sumatran tiger. Illegal logging has also cause a tiger-human conflict in a Indonesian island of Sumatra. Since Janurary, the big cats has already killed nine people and authorities are preventing illegal loggers from entering the tiger`s habitat. The Sumatran tigers are currently critically endangered, with estimated less than 400 left in the wild. The tigers are not guilty for attacking the people. There are the information for the recent tigers attack:JAN24-A tiger ambushes and kills a rubber tapper near a river in Sungei Gelam district of Jambi province, JAN28- A tiger pounces through a thin roof of a hut, killing a 50 year old man and his 21 year old son who are sleeping in the same area. FEB21-A tiger mauls and kill to illegal loggers also in Jambi province.

MARCH3-A tiger mauls an illegal logger to death. The authorities believed the death toll would be higher as this some attacks go unreported. Villagers also kill this tigers as they are afraid that they might attack them.

Q2) What can you do to stop the Sumatran tiger from extinction?

We should educate the public of the effect of illgeal logging and consequence of their action. We should also put out sign board to tell the people about endangered animals that they may face extinction in the near future if we human do not stop this illgeal logging.Employ more forest rangers to patrol the jungles and for illeal loggers and preserve their habitat. We should finally lay down some law about this illgeal logging and the price to pay if caught doing so. This will send a message out to the people.

ANSWERS

Q1) What the different forms of ketamine?

Ketamine is an anaesthetic to reduce pain- on both human and animals, but some drug abusers take it illegally. It is also known as K, Special K, Kit Kat. This drug, Ketamine is often taken at nightclubs and dance parties called raves, it is like a "party drug" like Ecstasy. There are a few forms of ketamine, liquid form, powder form or tablet form. Doctors and vets use it legally usually in an indictable liquid form. People consume the drug because they want to get high. Ketamine also come in powder form which users snort up their nostrils. It also comes in tablet form that are swallowed. Drug abusers often get more then they bargain for, because ketamine has several dangerous and unpleasant effects. People who take it could feel unable to move, bleed from the nose be overwhelmed with fatigue or have trouble sleeping. They may also feel confused and experience hallucination. They can also get "flashback" experiencing these symptoms days or week after they take the drug.

Q2) What would you do if you knew your friend took ketamine?

I would advice them not to take ketamine as the aftereffect is terrifying, being not able to move or talk as if you are paralysed, bleed from the nose, be overwhelmed with fatigue or have trouble sleeping. You may also feel confused and experience hallucination and could also get these experiencing symptoms days or week after they take the drug. I would also tell them that it is against the law and if you are found taking it, you can be sent to jail for up to ten years and fined $20,000. If they didn`t listen to my advice, I will talk him into going for drug rehabilitation, if that doesn`t work, I will inform the authorities. But mostly I would talk my friends out before they touches them
