Extinction Of Australia's Megafauna

Improved Essays
Thousands of years ago on the island of Australia; megafauna roamed. By definition; the large animals of a region, these animals are now long extinct. But even today there is still debate about the true cause of this, there are three main theories: A inter-species illness, being hunted to extinction and a ‘sudden’ ice age, these three theories are more commonly known as ILL, KILL and CHILL respectively. In this essay; we’ll look at these theories in detail and draw conclusion as to which theory is the most optimum and fitting explanation for the extinction of Australia’s megafauna.

Historically, humans in the past have hunted a multitude of species to extinction; a little over 900 according to ESI international. It is perfectly feasible that

    Emma Marris presents us with a new way of viewing nature in the first chapter of her book, “Rambunctious Garden”. She explains that the definition of nature depicted in our “glossy magazines” describing a place “somewhere distant, wild and free” is incorrect, as it “blinds us” from the truth (Marris 1). Marris argues that we must adjust this definition to also include the nature found in “the bees whizzing down Fifth Avenue in Manhattan” and “the butterfly bushes that grow alongside the urban river” as well as the nature found in “managed national parks” (Marris 2). She uses experiences gained during her time spent in the forests of Hawaii and in Australia’s Scotia Sanctuary as evidence to support her argument. Marris also makes the point…

    Evaluation Argument As humans are we driving ourselves into a sixth extinction? According to Elizabeth Kolbert, writer of The Sixth Extinction, we as humans are so careless that we are literally driving ourselves into a nonexistence. The book starts off with stories of how different species has become extinct or are currently endangered. The book has a lot of facts and they all seem to support the theory that humans are making a mess of things.…

    With the time bomb slowly ticking away, one might allude this ‘mass extinction’ upcoming to the end of the cretaceous period when the dinosaurs took their last breath before being extinguished by meteors. This similarity is the world’s most recognizable extinction, even though there were four more throughout history. Today’s problem is identified as a ‘mass extinction’ as opposed to a ‘background extinction’, a process which transpires with little disturbance to other species as one…

    In her book The Sixth Extinction, Elizabeth Kolbert writes that there have been five mass extinctions in the history of planet earth. She asserts that currently the earth is on the precipice of a sixth mass extinction. In contrast with the previous five, according to Kolbert this sixth extinction is almost entirely caused by humans and our exploitation of the earth. In each of the book’s thirteen chapters, Kolbert highlights a particular species that is now extinct and analyzes the causes and effects of its extinction. She explains the scientific history of the concept of extinction.…

    Not only is it observable, but extinction rates are incredibly fast. Reading this book is imperative to understand how much humanity effects the world around us. Extinction is easily recognizable because of its uniqueness compared to survival of species. Extinction “takes place very rarely, more rarely than even speciation, and it occurs at what’s known as the background extinction rate” (15 Kolbert). In other words, extinction should not be as easily recognizable as it is presently.…

    Where climate change is severe and the topography is flat, species would typically have to travel greater distances to find suitable conditions, experiencing greater risks of extinction” (Sandom et al 2014). Results have shown that late Quaternary climate change velocity was related with low modern species endemism of mammal’s amphibian and birds signifying that high extinction rates in the past was more prevalent in more climatically unstable regions. In a report done by Stephen Wroe and his team which studied how Climatic changes influenced the extinction of megafauna he documents how they “used mean annual temperature and annual precipitation anomaly and velocity between the past and the present to represent the…

    However, Kolbert does not say how these factors have directly lead species to extinction. In addition, Kolbert tries to understand why warming today is taking place at least ten times faster than it did at the end of the last glaciation and how trees are going to have to adapt to this change in temperature and carbon emission. Equally important, Kolbert explains that in the past, there was a time of mega fauna, where massive species roamed the Earth. Unfortunately, a massive extinction wiped all of them out, but I was really intrigued by their disappearance and wished Kolbert had wrote more on this topic. Additionally, the book allows readers to grasp the environmental issues we are facing.…

    “We should preserve every scrap of biodiversity as priceless while we learn to use it and come to understand what it means to humanity” (Edward Owen Wilson, 2006). The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1981 and stretches for more than 2300 kilometres along the northeast coast of Australia, including an area of about 347 800 square kilometres of seabed. It is the largest coral reef ecosystem in the world with 2500 coral reefs and is home to more than 1500 species of fish and 5000 species of mollusc. Approximately 215 species of birds are found on its islands and cays. Despite the GBR being given World Heritage status the health of the GBR has declined to date.…

    In a thought-provoking literary composition by Stephen Jay Gould, the hypotheses of dinosaur extinction are intermingled with the all-consuming thoughts and dilemmas that plague much of the modern society, including: sex, drugs, and violence; as well as one great unknown- how dinosaurs became extinct. Gould adds the public’s lust for outré, controversial statements with real, scientific inferences. Plaguing the world with questionability, the explanation for the dinosaurs’ extinction is still unidentified, but Gould transforms unlikely conjectures into comprehensible, quirky proposals. Moreover, Gould explains arguments beyond the ordinary “asteroid theory” burgeon within the scientific community while slightly discrediting them. Banal…

    The extinction of animals and living organisms is something most humans do not put into perspective, possibly until it’s almost too late. For example, humans don 't realise that their everyday lives are build around these creatures; what we eat, how we breathe, and how our world develops. I myself never thought about a world without whales, manta rays, tigers, plankton and owls and how important they are in my life until I came across the documentary Racing Extinction and the book Sustaining Life.... This new documentary shows examples of the harmful effects that humans cause on the world. Things like climate change, black market sales and the vanishment of animals, has sent the 220 countries the documentary aired in, in an uproar.…
