Climate Change is severely affecting animals that rely on land and specific food sources. This is true because once an animals land is destroyed it removes their food source as well. For example the Giant Panda's diet revolves around bamboo. Now that climate change is ruining bamboo forests the panda is left with little to no food. This forces them to migrate from their low elevation habitats, to higher elevations like mountains.…

There may be similar programs that have already addressed such issues, but they haven’t been working very well if the topic has been brought up in the first place. There are three important matters that affect this nation in the present: the animals, the education payment system, and the voting system. The first problem concerns the animals. The population of nearly every species is declining, due to destruction…
On Sunday 10/16/2016 the world’s oldest living panda, Jia Jia had died in Hong Kong’s Ocean Park. According to Ocean Park, Jia Jia’s health had been “rapidly deteriorating” for several weeks and had gotten so bad on Sunday that the zoo officials decided to euthanize Jia Jia. Nicknamed the “Grandma Panda” Jia Jia is 37 years old which is equivalent to 114-years-old in human terms even though the average life expectancy of a giant panda is often just a little above 20 years with human care. Additionally, Jia Jia was also reported to have been suffering from multiple geriatric diseases, such as high blood pressure, arthritis, and cataracts on both eyes. Originally born in the wild, Jia Jia was rescued in 1980 and kept at Wolong for nearly a…

By saving land, federal money will go farther even though it is limited. “In 2012 only 18% of expenses were used to acquire critical habitats for conservation” (Platt 51). This budget is similar to a farmer buying 30 bags of seeds to plant but, only buying 10 feet of land. To grow the trees and make a profit the farmer must buy enough land to sustain the life he plans to grow. In addition, the world is losing many different habitats, like the “Tropical Mountain System”, that animals need to survive (Mongabay 56).…
Surprisingly, Chinchillas are the key to stopping deforestation. When poachers hunt Chinchillas they often cause destruction of the natural habitat they are found in. Preventing poaching prevents deforestation. Chinchillas also play a vital part in their mountain habitats. They provide food for the…
The Red Panda, scientifically known as Ailurus fulgens, is a mammal that has been classified as a relative to the giant panda and the raccoon. They usually grow to the size of a house cat, but their raccoon-like bushy tails can add another 18 inches. These tails are used as wraparound blankets in their cold mountain environments. They are also referred to as "firefox" or "lesser panda". The red panda's diet is very unusual for a mammal.…
But to pandas, it tastes sweet. You might think that if it doesn't taste good for humans why is it important. It is important for China because pandas are special in China and are only there because they live in places with mountains and grass and trees. One of the things they mined was coal. Coal was important because it can start fires and is fuel for it.…
I want them to put a restriction on build on the habitats of innocent animals, and in this case, the endangered species, Florida Panthers. I also request that they make a hunting law for the Florida Panthers, I believe that we need to give them time to recover. Also, I will contact the government in different ways regarding my concerns of the Florida Panther. Another way I’m going to support my concern is to follow groups that are also agree with my problem.…
over consumption, disease, predation, insufficient regulations, or different human-caused factors (Endangered Species Act). Subspecies and clear population segments are given protection if it is proven that the organisms are crucial to an ecosystem (Matsumoto). The law requires that the listing of a species is based solely on biological status. It is illegal to list or delist an organism when there is insufficient scientific data to support the conclusion. It usually takes less than a year to add or remove a species from one of the lists.…
The problem that needs to be solved is the homeless. We as the people are the only ones that have a voice and can change that. We could all donate money to be able to build buildings for the homeless so that they could eat meals and also have a place to stay and could be warm. While doing this we could find people to donate time to help the homeless get back up on their feet and help them get financially stable, So they would be able to go live a normal life.…
In 1960 DDT was banned because it was killing our beloved Eagles. The Eagle is now making a comeback. There are about 30,000 Bald Eagles in Alaska and Canada, and about 2,500 in the 48 states. The Eagle has been our Symbol for the United States since 1782 for its ?fierce and independent image.? The Cheetah is an Endangered Species because people are hunting it for its fur, loss of habitat, and because people think it?s a pest.…
According to scientists, around 150-200 species of plant and animal go extinct every 24 hours. 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).…
