The conservation movement, also known as nature conservation, is a political, environmental and a social movement that seeks to protect natural resources including animal and plant species as well as their habitat for the future.

The early conservation movement included fisheries and wildlife management, water, soil conservation and sustainable forestry.

Gaga: Five Foot Two is a documentary starring American singer-songwriter Lady Gaga.  It was directed by Chris Moukarbel. Gaga, her manager, Bobby Campbell, and Heather Parry (from the concert-promoting company Live Nation) are producers of the movie. It was released through Netflix at 12:01 AM Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) on September 22, 2017.

Background 
Gaga held a press conference on September 8, 2017, at the Toronto International Film Festival in Toronto, Canada, after she performed in the city on her Joanne World Tour. She talked about the movie and said that she would take a "rest" after the concert tour was over. She wanted the movie to be objectively about her life and said that she would never be able to do so about herself.

The movie features Gaga creating her fifth studio album, Joanne, with British producer Mark Ronson throughout 2016 and preparing for her Super Bowl LI Halftime Performance that took place on February 5, 2017, at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. Gaga receives treatments for her chronic pain that has occurred since her cancellation of the Born This Way Ball world tour in 2012–13 because of a hip injury.  Gaga revealed that she has fibromyalgia.  British singer Florence Welch (from Florence + the Machine) appears with Gaga while they record their duet, "Hey Girl", which became a song on the Joanne album.

Gaga's family members make appearances, namely her parents, Joe and Cynthia; her sister, Natali; and paternal grandmother, who listens to Gaga's recording of the song "Joanne". Celebrities such as fashion designer Donatella Versace and singer Elton John appear to support Gaga's Super Bowl performance, along with her friend Sonja Durham, who is battling cancer. Sonja eventually died in May 2017.

Many of Gaga's songs are played throughout the movie, such as "Teeth" (from The Fame Monster), "Million Reasons", and "Perfect Illusion" (both from Joanne).

Reviews
Currently, the song has a 71% approval rating on the review site Rotten Tomatoes.  It also has a 64/100 on Metacritic, meaning the movie has “generally favorable reviews.”

Murmansk Oblast (Russian: Му́рманская о́бласть, Murmanskaya oblast' ) is a federal subject in northwestern Russia. The administrative centre is Murmansk, where most of the population lives. The oblast has a population of 741,511.

History 

Records show people first began to populate the area sometime between 8000 BC and 7000 BC. The first permanent towns began to appear in the 15th century. These towns were mainly on the Tersky Coast. In the late 15th century, the area became part of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. At the time, most of the economy was based on fishing.

Oblast divisions 

The oblast is divided into six districts, six closed cities and six cities and towns under the oblast's control.

Districts 

The six districts are: Kandalakshsky District, Kolsky District, Kovdorsky District, Lovozersky District, Pechengsky District, Tersky District.

Closed cities 

The six closed cities are: Gadzhiyevo, Ostrovnoy, Polyarny, Severomorsk, Snezhnogorsk and Zaozyorsk.

These cities are controlled by the federal government. A "closed city" is a term for a city where residents need special permission to live there.

Cities and towns under the oblast's control 

The six cities and towns under the oblast's control are: Murmansk, Apatity, Kirovsk, Monchegorsk, Olenegorsk and Polyarnye Zori.

These cities have their own oblast territory.

Climate 

Most of the oblast is in the arctic circle, meaning in summer the sun is in the sky all day, while at night the sun never rises. The entire oblast also has a subarctic climate, with very cold winters, and short, warm summers. The area isn't as cold as other locations of the same longitude because of the effects of the North Atlantic Current. The current's influence also means that the northern coast is generally "warmer" than the southern central region.

Demographics 

The native people of the area are the Sami, but they only make up 0.2% of the population today.

Below is a list of the largest cities in the oblast:

Approximately 42% of the population adhere to the Russian Orthodox Church. Another 4.5% follow another form of Christianity. 1% of the population is Muslim, 12% are atheists and 28% are "spiritual but not religious."
