Endangered Species Essay

Environmental based ethical dilemma on two species of OWLs This Environmental ethical dilemma is on two species of owl – Northern Spotted owl and Barred owl. Northern Spotted owl is a medium-sized dark brown owl sixteen to nineteen inches in length. Most Spotted owls occur on US federal lands (Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and National Park Service lands), although significant numbers occur on state lands in all three states, and on private and tribal properties. The northern…

been torchered by humans, but still they are friendly and majestic animals. They are unique animals but are endangered for many reasons that we can prevent. One reason is they were being tracked down and killed for their fur (WWF). Also, they are being split apart from each other, fragmentation. Next, people have been taking nature from the pandas selfishly (Smithsonian). To save this species many people are now working together to stop Giant Pandas from going extinct (WWF). There are…

the Frog: Cloning to Save Species Species are going extinct every day. Although new species are being discovered, losing the old ones has consequences. One method scientists are considering to keep species alive is a process called cloning. There are many misconceptions about cloning, and this paper will seek to clear up the reality of cloning extinct and endangered species. Now, we’re not going to see any dinosaurs roaming around soon, but we may help declining species bounce back. There are…

of marine habitats. Seven different species of these aquatic reptiles graze our ocean waters, from the shallow seagrass beds of the Indian Ocean, to the vibrant reefs of the Coral Triangle, and even the sandy beaches of the Eastern Pacific. Human activities have tipped the scales in opposition to the survival of these ancient mariners, which are advantageous indicators of ecosystem health and wellness. Nearly all species of sea turtle are identified as endangered. Mutilated for their eggs, meat,…

majestic raptors was. Many farmers believed that bald eagles carried off chickens, lambs, and other domestic livestock, even though we now know that the eagle's diet consists mostly of fish and carrion. The species was reduced to only 487 nesting pairs in 1963 before being added to the endangered species list in 1978. 487 may seem like a lot of birds, but, compared to the current 70,000 bald eagles in North America, one sees the truth of how close we came to losing this…

How would you feel if you were the cause for a beautiful species to go extinct? An endangered species is a group of livings things threatened with the dying off of all their kind. This is what is happening to the whooping crane. There are about 603 left total. Only 28 in Louisiana! We need to help the whooping cranes reach an even higher number if we don’t want to worry about their extinction. Whooping cranes die because of our growing society but we get things we need. We need more land to…

The tiger is the largest of the 37 species of cats in the world and unfortunately has recently become the most endangered of all the large wild cats. All tigers face two major threats. One is habitat destruction. This not only results in less territory for the cats to live in but also leaves the tigers' territory fragmented into separate islands making is hard for tigers to mate, which make it difficult for the species to survive. Conservation efforts are often aimed at creating sanctuaries,…

There are many endangered species in the Great Barrier Reef. One specific species is critically endangered, which means it is in high risk of becoming extinct, at any moment. That species is the Hawksbill sea turtle. Most people should be concerned, because they’re going extinct because we’re throwing plastic into the ocean. Also, we’re killing them for their skin and their shells. Lastly, their reproduction doesn’t occur rapidly, so every 2 to 3 years, will new Hawksbill be born/hatched. The…

Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) put forth a decision that ordered international attempts to preserve the life of the Bengal tiger. In 1972, WWF developed Operation Tiger, a worldwide program that supports conservation attempts for endangered species in India, Indochina and Indonesia. Due to Operation Tiger, many countries where tigers inhabited created tougher laws on wildlife protection. India took another step forward when, in 1973, the government created the Tiger Task…
