Protecting wildlife and their habitats mean fewer diseases that affect humans. The preservation of wildlife and where they live is important for human health. Research shows that in diverse, protected natural areas, there are fewer instances of malaria and Lyme disease.

What are Wildlife Values? Wildlife value orientations are an expression of fundamental values revealed through a pattern of basic beliefs. People are classified by scoring responses to survey item scales representing utilitarian and mutualist wildlife value orientations.

Consumptive uses are generally considered to be those in which wildlife is killed, as in hunting, fishing and trapping. Nonconsumptive uses are generally considered to be those in which any wildlife is watched, studied, or recorded without being killed, such as in hiking, bird- watching.

Consumptive Use Value refers to non-market value of resources such as firewood, game meat, etc. Such resources are consumed directly, without passing through a market. They usually are not calculated (but often can be approximated).

Non-consumptive effects—also referred to as non-lethal effects, risk effects or trait-mediated interactions—are changes in prey biology driven by predation threat. These diverse predator effects can alter species interactions, and are critical for understanding community and ecosystem dynamics.

A water use may be consumptive to a specific reach of a stream when water is diverted, used, and returned to the same source at a point downstream not in close proximity to the point of diversion. Surface water use is nonconsumptive when there is no diversion from the water source or diminishment of the source.

NON-CONSUMPTIVE tourism refers to holiday business which is done without one being engaged in hunting. It can also be called photographic tourism. Under CAMPFIRE, communal areas adjacent to safari areas were urged to protect natural resources in order for them to benefit from sport hunted animals.

Non-consumptive water use includes water that can be recycled and reused (Figure below). For example, the water that goes down the drain and enters the sewer system is purified and then redistributed for reuse. By recycling water, the overall water consumption is reduced.

Total water use, by category of use, 2015 Thermoelectric power and irrigation remained the two largest uses of water in 2015, and total withdrawals decreased for thermoelectric power but increased for irrigation.

Groundwater supplies drinking water for 51% of the total U.S. population and 99% of the rural population. Groundwater helps grow our food. 64% of groundwater is used for irrigation to grow crops. Groundwater is a source of recharge for lakes, rivers, and wetlands.

Water in California is shared across three main sectors. Statewide, average water use is roughly 50% environmental, 40% agricultural, and 10% urban, although the percentage of water use by sector varies dramatically across regions and between wet and dry years.

Outdoor watering accounts for almost 30 percent of water use, according to an analysis published by Environment Magazine. But toilets (19 percent), washing machines (15 percent), showers (12 percent), and faucets (11 percent) also use substantial amounts.

While the Golden State isn’t completely out of water, it’s still using far more than it can replenish. The three biggest consumers are urban users, big agriculture and water allocated to environmental conservation.

Over 68 percent of the fresh water on Earth is found in icecaps and glaciers, and just over 30 percent is found in ground water. Only about 0.3 percent of our fresh water is found in the surface water of lakes, rivers, and swamps.

There are two main sources of water: surface water and groundwater. Surface Water is found in lakes, rivers, and reservoirs. Groundwater lies under the surface of the land, where it travels through and fills openings in the rocks. The rocks that store and transmit groundwater are called aquifers.

Our main sources of water for drinking, washing, agriculture and industry are surface water, groundwater and collected rainwater, all of which are dependent on rain and snow falling on the Earth’s surface.
