What are the economic implications of reintroducing gorillas into the wild?

The economic implications of reintroducing gorillas into
the wild can be both good and bad.


On the good side, the
presence of wild gorillas in an area can attract ecotourists.  These people will come to
observe gorillas in the wild and will (presumably) spend money that will help the local
economy.  In this way, reintroducing gorillas could help the economy of the area in
which they are reintroduced.


However, gorillas can also
hurt the local economy.  This is particularly true when the local economy depends on
agriculture.  If reintroduced gorillas destroy the crops on which the economy depends,
they will (obviously) have a negative effect on the
economy.


So, reintroducing gorillas into the wild can have
both positive and negative impacts on the economy of the area where the gorillas
live.

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
