Selfish Or Raid Natural Animal Habitat?

Decent Essays
Imagine you are an animal that depends on its habitat for safety, shelter, and warmth. Now, humans want this all taken away in a course of a few hours for unnecessary resources. What if they use these resources knowing it would end up becoming waste for their profit? How would you feel as that animal? Instead of Humans being extremely selfish and raid natural animal habitats for resources, which will decrease many species of animals in existence, the resource companies that want to destroy for their benefit, should find a way to extract the resources they want without harming any animals or their habitat in any way.
Logging operations that basically create most of the wood and paper you use every day destroy countless trees every single day

This widely accepted theory states that “every individual tries to reap the greatest benefit from a given resource.

    Tragedy of the Commons in the American West: The Cattle Boom Garrett Hardin’s Tragedy of the Commons is a fundamental principle in the study of environmental science. Hardin’s classic example is the herdsman who desires to selfishly maximize their economic gain at the expense of their community’s shared pasture. In his example, the commons are a shared resource or the open range. Each herdsman is located in a society that prioritizes constant economic gain, while there are limited resources. “Ruin is the destination toward which all man rush, each pursing his own best interest in a society that believes in the freedom of the commons” (Hardin 1244).…

    We as a race have performed many studies on them to learn their life styles. Over time we started to capture them into tanks for entertainment and train them to do tricks and obey. Over all there have been many arguments about the orca whale species, “in the early 2005 orca whales and many other orca tribes had become an endangered species. The population of the Southern Residents Orcas in the Pacific Northwest has declined about 25 percent, and still we have not done enough to help them from disappearing” based on the Orca Lab studies. With only a 50 percent chance of their survival when they are first born, it makes it difficult to estimate the orca whale future.…

    If the government goes directly and controls everything and takes responsibility, restricting information could be justified. If somebody or some groups stop people from knowing the truth especially in the high profile disaster, either there should be a legitimate reason or they should take a full responsibility by paying how much price to aid people who have lost everything from Hurricane Katrina and recover damaged area and wildlife with all types of source. But that didn’t happen. Other companies can have a right to intervene regarding moral and legal obligations we might have to wildlife and the environment.

    One of the emerging values recognized by human beings is the concern for our environments and the living creatures that we share them with, but what would happen if human beings stopped caring for their planet and completely disregarded any other living creature outside of the human race? Expert biologist, Jeff Corwin, discusses this idea in his article “The Sixth Extinction,” published by the Los Angeles Times. He argues in his article that while there have been preventative programs put into place, human beings are actively destroying our planet and slowly killing off hundreds of species with every deforestation project, landfill, and black-market trade. For his article, Corwin uses real life experiences to strengthen his credibility. In addition to his easy-to-understand writing style, Corwin also pulls his audience into the root of his essay by providing shocking facts that give readers an insight as to what could happen if they continue to disregard their planet and the other living species that reside there.…

    In his article, he addresses the common belief that logging can be destructive. “Although cutting forests is viewed by some as a harmful act, if done with care for the surrounding environment, it can improve the condition of the forest” (Christopherson 2). In other words, forest thinning is often misconstrued as damaging when it is actually quite productive. The article, Fire Ecology, agrees with Christopherson that we must continue logging, but acknowledges that we are destroying our forests by doing so. The author of this article explicates that we have caused so much damage within our forests that they can no longer thin themselves and if we discontinue forest thinning, any wildfires would be disastrous.…

This statistic doesn’t seem so shocking until the realization comes that this is almost 1,000 times the natural rate for extinction. Humans contribute a great amount to this pandemic. A prime example is that of the dodo bird, which was famously hunted into extinction. Around 20,000 species are currently listed as threatened by extinction by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).…

    Things such as fossil fuel, minerals, water, and trees are called natural resources. They are provided by the Earth so that human can use it to produce a much more elaborate product such as desks, gasoline, and shelters. However, these raw materials are limited, they do not and cannot be replenish, yet our human are extremely dependent on them. As an undergrad student who’s majoring in Environment Engineer, I strongly believe that the world should be more concern and preserve our natural resources, otherwise, we would have no food left to feed our hungry stomach and no fuel to transport and travel. As a result, there would be no one left in this planet we so called it “home.”…
