APU
X is the study of periodic plant and animal life cycle events and how these are
influenced by seasonal and interannual variations in climate, as well as habitat
factors (such as elevation). The word, coined by the Belgian botanist
Charles Morren aROUND 4849, is derived from the Greek "to show, to bring to
light, make to appear" + "study, discourse, reasoning and indicates that ” X has
been principally concerned with the dates of first occurrence of biological events
in their annual cycle. Examples include the date of emergence of leaves and
flowers, the first flight of butterflies and the first appearance of migratory birds,

ROUND 4
Expand RT.
RT is mainly conceived with three kinds of responsibilities which are
termed as the ‘triple bottom-line’ economic responsibility, social
responsibility and environmental responsibility. Though the concept
of RT was there right from 1996, it was after the Cape Town
Declaration of 2002 that a detailed picture of RT - including its aims,
and factors evolved. RT encompasses all forms of tourism and
seeks to minimize negative economic, environment and social
impacts. It generates greater economic benefits to local people and
enhances the wellbeing of local communities. It also makes positive
contributions to the conservation of natural and cultural heritage,
and maintenance of the world’s diversity.
