Which of the following is not related to environmental conservation efforts? a. the endangered species act b. the carbon mitigation initiative c. captive breeding and reintroduction programs d. logging in national parks

Explanation:

Conservation efforts are the initiatives that are taken to protect the environment, resources and the biodiversity from illegitimate human activities.

Among the given options, d. Logging in national parks. is the correct option. This is because of the fact that logging is the practice of cutting of trees.

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
