No other method has reduced species population so dramatically than conflict, when a militia reached the Garamba National Park in 1997 with in 3 months, half of the parks elephants two thirds of the buffalos and three quarters of its hippos vanished. The reason conflict is so damaging to wildlife is the increased use of bushmeat to feed soldiers, the prevalence of weapons, the lucrative industry of selling exotic
Major thirds tuning of major-third and minor-sixth intervals are termed "inverse intervals" in the theory of music. Consequently, chord charts for minor-sixths tunings may be used for left-handed major-thirds tunings; conversely, chord charts for major-thirds tunings may be used for left-handed minor-sixths tunings. Major-thirds tuning facilitates playing chords with closed voicings. In contrast, standard tuning would require more hand-stretching to play closed-voice seventh chords, and so standard tuning uses open voicings for many four-note chords, for example of dominant seventh chords. By definition, a "dominant seventh" is a four-note chord combining a major chord and a minor seventh. For example, the C7 seventh
