Good one.But why does it have to always be anthropocentric. for eg. " It is important to conserve so that our children and grandchildren, future generations can enjoy their beauty". Don't those animals and birds have the right to live for themselves?.

Ornithology
سے مراد پرندوں کے بارے علم حاصل کرنا۔۔۔۔کیا یہ معلومات درست ہیں؟؟؟؟

[jann]

Horrible process for teaching Ornithology;
- lack of slides
- lack of context
- lacks growth of concept
- lack pictorials ; nobody wants to see a guy rambling

Disappointing experience
