Description | Veterinarian Mark Lowe talks about the Florida manatee in this video segment from WILD TV. Lowe describes his fascination with manatees which are an endangered species. Manatees have been in existence for millions of years. They are peaceful animals. Each has its own personality. A large public education program helps people learn about the history of manatees and the dangers they face with the decreasing supplies of vegetation and clean water they need to survive. Humans must be aware of how we pollute their water and endanger their survival when we use motorized vehicles in waters where they live. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
