The more co2 we release the acidic the ocean becomes through a process called ocean acidification where ocean water becomes carbonic acid.This happen because as we create more factories and drive more cars the more we release co2 and the ocean absorbs about 25% of carbon
The annual extinction rate is 100 species for every one million and can be up to 10,000 species in the future.This is happening because humans are growing in population and we need to feed them but by making farmland we cut down

    The reintroduction of the gray wolves has helped the grizzly bear population and even removed the grizzly bears from the endangered species act in Yellowstone National Park (Ripple et al. 2013). However, not everyone sees the gray wolf reintroduction as a good thing. Switalski (2003) says that coyotes use to live on Isle Royale, but eight years after their colonization, they were gone from the island and that gray wolves were the reason they were gone. Switalski (2003) also states that even though gray wolves normally do not attack coyotes,…

    With the large populations being in one tight area out there and since our leaves are basically the world’s air filter, and they are constantly cutting them down for more expansion, they are a large contributor to the world’s pollution whether it be water, air, or even soil. Many other large contributors are, commercial fishing, container ships, and also just drop in population. Commercial fishing as we all know is a large factor in the death of most wild fish. Commercial fishing is where they take a large boat and dredge the ocean or the lake floor or just a few feet below sea level depending on what is being fished for, and they have this huge net, usually several cubic feet, and they basically reel in after so long what they’ve caught. Now many people may not see this as a huge factor, but when you have sudden decreases in a population, you either have an abundance of resources, or it was easier to catch them due to a migration for resources.…

Due to pollution, natural forces, human interaction, and loss of habitats, animal extinction is a major crisis in the world; people are the only ones that can save the animal population before it is too late.

    . This is why Green (sustainable) transportation is such an important issue. With more environmentally safe fuels and resources being used, there would be less of a negative effect on our environments around the world and the ocean could’ve avoided having these pockets where sea life could no longer strive. Another contributor to the crisis in the water supply is the amount of acid rain that falls from the sky. Too much of acid water can inhibit plant growth and create soil damage that wouldn’t be able to be repaired until eons pass.…
