THE DUKE OF BURGUNDY Butterflies, like many insects across the UK have undeniable importance to the ecosystem. Maintaining butterfly populations has become a priority across the globe as anthropogenic activities increase to 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. OVERVIEW • Values of the Butterfly to humans. • Urban sprawl and agricultural management changes have…

All over the world communities are being polluted, the air and the water are becoming more and more toxic. Although it may seem as there is no way to fix it, there is a way. Most pollution is created by peoplem, and if we can change some of our ways we could save the world. These anthropogenic sources although a problem are still being built and used causing all the pollution. Removing or decreasing these anthropogenic sources like factories, cars, planes, or aerosol cans, can decrease the…

Anthropogenic causes have been the largest contributor to an array of environmental disasters that we are currently experiencing and will experience in the coming decades. The extraction, transportation and burning of fossil fuels is one major contributor to environmental disasters. Another imminent threat we are facing as a species is the extinction of all wildlife on earth. This is due largely because of habitat destruction and climate change. Lastly the global meat industry also accounts for…

anthropogenic landscape (497)- An anthropogenic landscape is an area that has experienced drastic change as a result of human modifications. This relates to the region because countries within this region have some of the most extreme anthropogenic landscapes as a result of their high population densities and low amounts of arable land. A good example of the North China Plain, which has been greatly transformed and has many people living in it. autonomous region (512)- An autonomous region is…

Anthropogenic pollution is causing extensive damage now and, current practices will only perpetuate the deterioration of the planet. Using up non-renewable resources that produce toxins into the land, air, and water supply will not provide a healthy environment for which to live (O’Riordan, 2013). Additionally, continuing to create non-recyclable goods will only increase the need for more space to dump waste (Offenhuber et. al., 2012). Mankind has damaged the Earth more in the past 100 years…

unchecked release of carbon. Neither group is neither fully correct, nor incorrect. Climate change is both anthropogenic (human caused) and naturally caused. The difference between the two being: natural changes to the environment tend to be cyclical, balanced, and relatively ineffectual when compared to human changes to the environment, which are neither cyclical nor balanced. For the millennia that Earth has existed, many fluctuations…

At the start of the 21st century, human beings have made a huge impact on the global ecosystem. Many people believe that the Anthropogenic epoch has been caused by all humans, while there is the conflicting idea that it is only because of some people. The use of some scholarly journals, a museum, and a book present the commonalities and the differences in the claims and evidence of some perspectives. This paper will argue that there are many claims to the cause of the Anthropocene. Also, it…

If left unchecked, anthropogenic climate change will have monumental consequences for the international community. To a large extent, these consequences will arise from the underlying issue of resource scarcity and its associated economic, political and social dilemmas. As a result, this essay asserts that anthropogenic climate change and resource scarcity are intrinsically tied. To develop this assertion, this essay will explore ways in which resource scarcity, as a result of anthropogenic…

Rebuttal to two arguments against GACC Introduction The goal of this assignment is to identify unsubstantiated claims against the existence of global anthropogenic climate change (GACC) and to rebut these claims based on scientific sources. I shared a summary of two distinct arguments against GACC that I have read from different sources. I then formulated a rebuttal against these two claims I found. Synopsis Although the majority of scientists support the idea of anthropogenic climate…

Anthropogenic climate change is creating a world that is inherently different from the last ten thousand years. In the marine realm, environmental monitoring programs have revealed recent changes in oceanographic conditions (water temperature, seasonality, ice cover), water chemistry (oxygenation, alkalinity, macronutrients), and local ecologies. Such programs have accumulated data for several decades, but rarely extend before fifty years. Although this interval of study captures profound…
