Gifford Pinchot protecting the environment The environment is extremely valuable, once it is ruined, it will be very hard to repair and recover. In some cases, it would be impossible to turn back around. Once it happens the Earth would be stuck like that forever, or at least until the end of time. People like Gifford Pinchot, John Muir, Theodore Roosevelt, and Woodrow Wilson saw this, and they decided to do something about it. “It is ours to use and conserve for ourselves and our descendants, or to destroy” (Pinchot, 1). Pinchot knew just how important it would be to conserve the environment because of how difficult it would be to fix in the future. He knew that if it was not conserved now, it would just get destroyed. However, they were not…
The Endangered Species Act is the most successful and important conservation act in the United States of America. More than 2,000 plants and animals are protected under this act and 93% of these species have remained stable since they became protected under the ESA. The Endangered Species Act is administered by two federal agencies, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The ESA has helped prevent some of our most beloved creatures…
This assignment will discuss key stakeholders such as aid institutions, non-governmental organizations, and international conservation agencies (Zimmerer, 2000). These stake holders play a role in the arrangement and management of resources. During the process of making arrangements and managing resources there may be shortcomings that arise. This assignment will discuss some of these shortcomings. Following, this assignment will discuss how the article The Reworking of Conservation Geographies:…
Mountains of high and valley low, the Great Smoky Mountains are one of the most intriguing parks to learn about and to discover what the park’s true purpose is.

The different climates and changes to the environment are absorbing and important to not only the people who act as caretakers of the park, but the people who admire the beauties of the park as well. This park is one…
According to Piaget’s theory in child development, conservation is the understanding that something stays the same in quantity even though its appearance changes. To be more technical, conservation is the ability to understand that redistributing material does not affect its mass, number, volume or length. In cognitive psychology, the principle that properties of substance such as weight and mass remain the same (are conserved) when superficial characteristics such as their shapes or arrangement…

overlap in their diets and habitat, it is possible for the two owls to co-exist. The key lies in riparian zones, areas along streams and rivers. With limited old growth forests left, riparian zones may be an alternative habitat suited for Spotted and Barred owls. Riparian zones provide high quality dispersal habitat that protect from predators and harsh weather and offer places for nesting and roosting. With an increase in suitable habitat, there will be less competition and interaction between…
threaten butterfly species. One such species under threat in the UK is the Duke of Burgundy. Decline in flagship species over recent years has led to a review of the biodiversity action plans and the importance they have across the globe. This POSTnote examines the risks of butterfly decline for the UK, exploring the anthropogenic impacts on the Duke of Burgundy and assessing relevant strategies to better conservation.
