If the name Headwaters Forest Preserve does not ring a bell, you might recall Julia Butterfly Hill, who spent 738 days between 12/10/1997 and 12/18/1999 in the tree affectionately known as "Luna," to prevent Pacific Lumber Company loggers from cutting it down. Pacific Lumber had been bought by Maxxam Corp., and they were clear cutting everything in sight to pay off the bonds they sold to buy this forest. Pacific Lumber, which had been doing sustainable logging for generations, suddenly became an environmental villain due to the hostile takeover. Senator Dianne Feinstein helped put together $380 million in state and federal money to purchase Headwaters, a pristine old growth redwood forest, within the Pacific Lumber lands, east of Eureka.…
Because of the stray cats and dogs, some people accidently hurt the ecosystem more when they realize it by letting their cat or dog go outside and dig holes and scratch the trees all over the yard. The cats and dogs will destroy the things like trash, mail boxes, flower beds, gardens and other things like that. The helpers have to work harder than before because of the cats that put their hair balls everywhere in the yard or get in to fights with other animals and take over their homes. The dogs also sometimes form into packs, which is worse because they can do more damage together. But there is a way to get rid of this…

Since everyone doesn't realize that what they are doing is killing off all the animals and ruining all of their homes we just keep doing it. People really just need to think about what they do even if it seems as if it's nothing bad. There isn't only like one or two thing we are doing that is killing off animals and destroying their homes, there is so many reason. The animals do nothing to deserve any of this we just abuse our power and kill tons of animals and take their homes away. And I believe this should be stopped.…

Tropical Rainforests used to make up 12% of the earth's land but sadly because of deforestation it only makes up 6% of the earth's land. The tropical rainforests get their name from the yearly rain fall; an average of 392.5 cm of rain drowns the Tropical rainforests around the world, tropical rainforests are the home of half of the worlds animals and plants, 70% of the plants in Tropical Rainforests are trees, 40% of all the oxygen in the world gets produced in Tropical Rainforests around the world.

The tragedy of common is the theory of Garrett Hardin where it is the acting of an individual person independently for his own interest and depletes the resources of common in a particular area of land. For example if an acre of community of forest which can hold forty cows are been shared within households of four with ten cows each, and if one of them add one more cow in the same given area of pasture for his own benefit to generate extra income, so does the others too but the pasture can’t handle all the cows. Therefore, the pasture gets depleted within no time that leads to depletion of the pasture known as Tragedy of the Commons. They may enjoy the profit at the beginning for certain period of time but later it is sure that they are the same people who are going to be the looser.…
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.…
Biodiversity In The Amazon Rainforest Just think, you are a little bacteria in the huge Rainforest, waiting to be found. But all the sudden your home gets destroyed and burned to make roads and factories. For what? Just to pollute the environment and especially the air.

In a 2014 study conducted by Gallup Poll, forty-three percent of Americans reported feeling little to no concern over the issue of global warming (Newport, 2014, 1). In the same study, only forty-one percent of people stated being concerned with extinction of plant and animal species, and as little as thirty-five percent expressed worry over global climate change (Newport, 2014, 1). Although it is disappointing that many do not seem to care about the state of the environment, it is very difficult to harshly criticize their apathetic attitude. When bills are due and jobs are scarce, priorities become more centered on personal survival than anything else. Nonetheless, preserving the environment still remains one of the most pressing issues of…
