From the Paper
"All the large cats of Yellowstone and the GYE as well as those in surrounding parts of the country are finally making a comeback. It would be disastrous for their populations to decline again because of the ignorance of those who live in their habitats or developing the last bits of habitat that they have. There needs to be so much more study of these animals to determine a way to continue to live in harmony with these cats. There has been a good start made with surveys and radiotracking collars that tell us more about them. There is no way that we can live in harmony with the predators without knowing anything about them. Study and research is the only way that we will save the cougars, bobcats and lynx."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the risk management practices of small and medium business enterprises (SMEs) in the U.K. especially pertaining to a comparative analysis inside the same risk stream for evidencing the percentage of interest paid for each different risk type and the considered phase of the risk management process. Next, the author reports an extensive literature review and relates in detail the methodology used in this research. The paper concludes that, even though risk management is a low cost activity, SME companies like Cougar Automation Ltd tend to over look this area. The author defines the risk areas facing this company and makes suggestions as to how to manage them. Appendices in the form of charts are included in this paper.

Appendices

From the Paper
"Monitoring and review is an essential and integral step in the management process risk. I it mandatory to monitor the risks and the effectuality of the plan that has been formulated as well as the management system and the strategies of the system which have been established to control and monitor the implementation of the risk management. There is a need to monitor the risk on a regular basis so that the changing conditions so not change the priorities of the risks. Some of the risks remain as it is.
"Financial risk management is a specialized branch of corporate finance, which is dedicated to the management or financial risk coverage. Uncertainty exists as long as no one knows for sure what will happen in the future. Risk is the uncertainty that "matter" because it affects the welfare of the people. All hazardous situations are uncertain, but may have uncertainty without risk. For this reason, a financial risk manager is responsible for advising and managing the risk exposure to the corporate or business through the use of derivative financial instruments.
"When SMEs carry out a risk analysis, they have to carefully consider the potential harm which can be done to the firm, its assets or to the human resource. By carefully assessing the potential damage, the firm could ensure that no harm is brought to anything."

Abstract
This paper presents the position that unbalanced animal rights policies have an unfair and detrimental effect on some human rights. The paper presents arguments that support its position and suggests that, in order to balance the rights and safety of men and the rights of animals, the government must develop a means testing approach to wildlife protection, which could be assembled to measure economic impact of proposed animal rights declarations.

Conclusion and Research Proposal

From the Paper
"According to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of Law (1996), the Endangered Species Act (ESA) obligated the government to protect all animal and plant life threatened with extinction. Included in this category are endangered species, which is defined as any species "which is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range." Also protected are threatened species, which are defined as any species "which is likely to become endangered in the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range." The wide brush of this act is creating problems for those who are granting the rights to the animals. Unlike humans, who have been granted certain unalienable rights by their creator, (US Bill of Rights) animals receive the rights they enjoy from the highest species on the earth, man."
