Danger Of Rosarypea

Improved Essays
Both invasive species present a danger because they overtake the habitat of other plant life. The Rosarypea can grow over small trees and shrubs, and its roots can grow very deeply onto the ground and are very difficult to remove. The Earleaf acacia is more common in disturbed areas. It has also invaded pinelands, scrub, and hammocks and can displace native vegetation and shade out native plants. It is adapted to nutrient-poor soils in humid tropics and is fire adapted.
According to our textbook, organizations such as the IUCN and CITIES are working to improve the issue concerning the protection of threatened and endangered species as well as combating the wildlife trade.
The IUCN oversees the red list of threatened species, it's in the same

    Have you ever heard of the West African Black Rhinoceros? As of 2011 this species is extinct and society could have prevented it (Gerkens). The species is thought to have died off, because of poaching, but taking precautions could have prevented their extinction.

    Abundance of False Brome invasion in relation to distance from Oak Creek Apachino Villarreal Introduction Invasive species have been introduced to many ecosystems and can have detrimental effects due to their dominance and ability to spread easily. When an invasive species is introduced to a new ecosystem, it begins spreading and outcompeting the smaller species and creating a new type of vegetation that is not beneficial to the community. An introduced species can spread differently based on existing plant abundance and how the alien species can pollinate seedlings in any area.…

    Prioritization of activities should start with an assessment of hierarchal needs within each segment that has direct input to potential megafauna’s threats. Some regions may be impoverished leading to the unethical migration to economic gain. These could be attributed to unregulated trophy hunting for profit, or clear cutting natural habitats for commercial food production. Modern-day technology is speeding up the process of clearing habitats by taking less time to clear than it has in the past. Furthermore, natural habitats are being destroyed to make room for urban development and energy production.…

    Invasive species are prevalent in many places around the world, and are classified as any living organism that is not native to the ecosystem in which they are currently present in and causes harm. They can exist as a plant, fungus, or an animal, which is what we will focus on for the entirety of the paper. Invasive species are usually considered endangered species where they are native, but switch to invasive species in areas where they are indigenous. They are spread in a variety of ways both accidental and purposeful that include traveling because of food scarcity, land destruction, or migration, and to control other native species populations, but unexpectedly overpopulate and become a hindrance instead of an asset. The most common method is through…

    The act is mainly administered by two federal agencies, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). NOAA works with marine species, and the FWS works with freshwater fish and all other species. If a species occurs in both habitats, such as sea turtles, they are jointly managed by both agencies. The act’s central goal is to prevent extinction of species and recover and maintain those populations by removing or lowing threats to their survival, as well as protecting critical habitat. It is often a long and slow process where the species is petitioned and listed by the two agencies or an individual or organization ask the agency the list a species.…

    In the article, “Which Species Will Live?” by Michelle Nijihuis, she explains in her article her thesis and the main point, which is, that as a society, we need to make stronger efforts to save more species and to not just let them die out just because they do not deserve a position that is valuable enough for this society. She compares also what society should be accomplishing to a battlefield medic who, “works unstintingly to save lives, even while knowing that he or she cannot save them all.” This was an attempt to discuss her point on how individuals should attempt to save species if, once again, they are not able to be saved or even helpless. Triage is a decision-making system when treatment in difficult situations when time is short.…

    With the biotic world still being destroyed and harmed at an alarming rate, entire biomes are endangered and whole ecosystems are threatened by anthropogenic pressures. These changes globally have impelled zoos and aquariums to create and establish conservation benefits. This coupled with the growth in economic rationalism and the rise of corporate management, rationalises the feasibility of projects in terms of economic efficiencies. Which has seen the battle between balancing of public entertainment and money with the welfare of animals. It is argued that zoos need to maintain a more concentrated engagement with a range of ethical and pragmatic consideration in the appraisal of animal welfare under the conditions for research.…

    Set up some National Wildlife Areas, where people can see what kinds of animals are on their way to extinction. Protect the habitats of the animals that are so few in numbers. Plant native plants to the area where you live to attract more native animals, such as birds and butterflies, even help attract threatened or endangered animals. In the United States alone there are 1,985 endangered or threatened species plants and animals alike. That is a lot for the States.…

    Many species in the world are endangered and eventually becoming extinct. The main problem that generates extinction is human activity; people cause extinction every day and unknowingly to them, it is killing innocent animals. 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. Pollution is among the most insidious threats to animal extinction. It can be as obvious as sewage and oil spills in water or as invisible as chemicals used every day.…

    Endangered species are organisms that have such a reduced population that they are threatened with extinction. There are thousands of different species that are included in this list. Millions of years before humans existed, causes of extinction of living things were mostly linked to geological and climate effects (environmental change). Even though, environmental change is still the primary root for the extinction of organisms, but now the process of extinction is accelerated by human modernization and development and activity.…
