Environmental Conservation Essay

Some say zoos are wicked or evil, some may say zoos are great and interesting. In my opinion, I'd go with the fact that they're great and interesting. The main point of zoos is to educate people and save animals, but mostly save the animals. In fact, some animals live longer in the wild! Take giraffes for instance, they live up to 26 in the wild, but they live way longer in zoos than in their natural habitat. Therefore, just like Newton's 3rd law; for every reaction there's an equal, opposite…

Extinction are rarely caused by diseases because of genetic diversity within the population. Over time, some populations may evolve and grow a tolerance against the disease, prompting them to resist the disease and survive and reproduce. i. Other than WNS, a threat to the survival of the bat species, if the total number of bats becomes very small, is a decrease in fitness as there will be less protection among the population of little brown bats. A decrease in fitness means the little brown…

Since the species of the American pygmy shrew is so widespread, there are a variety of different threats to each population (ANHP, 2017). The species has a global ranking of G5 and a National ranking of N5 which list the species as secure with no apparent threats to survival (Gervis, 2015). Although, specific states have release reports of overlapping threats to smaller populations. S1 states such as Alabama , Idaho, Massachusetts, and Wyoming are closely monitoring populations. Many of these…

Most of the nonprofit or fundraising organizations would be perfect example. Encourage people to donate money to good causes is the sole purpose of these organizations’ commercials. These good causes can be for animal, children in third world, or environmental issues, etc. Specifically, World Wildlife Fund’s commercial, “together possible”, effectively delivers its purpose by setting loving atmosphere from animal images,…

ones that depend on biodiversity for food sources. Simpson 2007 advocates for compensation for those who lose from conservation. Conservation actions should pose little risk to the poor while ensuring human’s well-being (Turner). Conservation is prevalent in societies with well developed studies of the environment. When inhabitants of those communities attempt to spread the conservation message many issues arise. This problem is noted by Potvin 2001 stating that local communities can feel…

Milaya Ruffin Mr. Simmons Biology October 14, 2016 Research Many people have gone on roller coasters, but have they really thought about how they work? All of the tosses and turns. How does it stay on the track? How does it slow down? How does it speed up? Slow and clanking, the string of cars is pulled up to the highest point of a roller coaster. One by one, the cars start going downhill on the other side, until gravity kicks into action and the full weight of the train is going down into…

Zoos have been a popular destination for people for as long as they have existed. It is exciting to go see the animals. People can feel the joy of spending time with family and friends while also experiencing the closeness of wild animals. It can create quite a rush and bring excitement to those peering through the animal’s habitat. There are many things that bring people to the zoo and many good deeds done by the zoo. However, there are also major welfare issues that needed to be addressed as…

blind us to the realities of a situation. It is tragically easy to lose sight of what it would take and the resources required to turn de-extinction into a viable method of repopulation. De-extinction is an impractical approach to re-population and conservation, and therefore should not be pursued by science because it shifts resources away from currently endangered animals, and we cannot justify spending money on it. A grand feat of science such as de-extinction would require resources of…

climbing. It is one of the few places in the world to get a glimpse of some truly exotic and majestic animals (History, 2017). Along with its rare wildlife attractions, it is also the second best institution in the world, second only to the Cheetah Conservation Botswana or breeding cheetahs in Africa (History, 2017). The cheetah breeding program hosted by the Wildlife Safari would not be where it is today without Dr. Laurie L. Marker. Dr. Marker helped develop the U.S. and international…

their survival in the wild. Standing from one point of view, the pandas are an endangered species which once desperately needed funds and resources to save themselves from the brink of extinction. They also helped to raise the awareness of animal conservation worldwide. Opposing this viewpoint, some see the pandas as furry black-and-white money pits, who were already on the brink of extinction, but somehow managed to divert the much-needed funds from the other animals who were less adorable but…
