Biodiversity

(1973) is a unified discipline with an attempt to achieve best results. Wildlife management includes practices such as game keeping, pest control and wildlife conservation. Soule (1986) argued that wildlife conservation purposes to avert the loss of biodiversity based on ecological principles such as carrying capacity, disturbance and succession. It also takes into account the physical geography, formation and hydrology of the environment. Two main types of…

environmental or landscape change by natural phenomena like hurricanes, volcanoes, floods etc) or by process of humans like deforestation construction, use of lands for farming, artificial land drainage etc. This is the only huge danger to the Earth’s biodiversity and the large extinction in the world. When an animal of plant becomes extinct When it does not have a habitat, and when cannot adjust to a distinct environment. So we can say without doubt that the main cause of endangering and…

Introduction Invasive species are continually documented as a major risk to ecosystem health and worldwide biodiversity. Invasive marine fish introductions are still considered relatively rare and historically the environmental effects are often discounted. This is different from historically famous invasive species such as the zebra mussels in The Great Lakes, which caused well-documented harmful economic and environmental effects. While these are considered rare, they have been documented,…

Ecotourism is an environmentally responsible travel to natural areas for the enjoyment and appreciation of nature that conserves the environment, promotes sustainability, and educates locals and visitors. Ecotourism areas are natural and possess biodiversity, have low-impact on the environment, build awareness and educate locals and visitors, respect local culture and traditions, provide financial benefits for conservation efforts and indigenous communities, and also support human rights. In…

Most threats facing animals and plants at present can be linked to human influences. Habitat destruction is the greatest contributor to the extinction of species. Human actions which threaten biodiversity can be divided into two categories, deliberate actions and unintentional actions. Many habitats for example, swamps, wetlands, forests and other habitats get destroyed for human consumption and industrial gain. By destroying habitats, many different animals face death because they no longer…

Over the course of history, three important ecological myths have taken root and influenced the way we look at human-environment relationships and environmental problems. The only way to truly understand the past regarding human impact on the environment is to analyze and evaluate these myths critically to understand where they came from and why they came to be. The first of these myths suggests that the humans of the past had a more harmonious relationship with the environment than the current…

For this assignment on political ecology methods, the article that will be reviewed is the Difference and Conflict in the Struggle over Natural Resources: A Political Ecology Framework by Arturo Escobar (2006). Escobar provides a discussion on the political ecology of natural resources in three interrelated rubrics. These interrelated rubrics are economics, ecology, and culture. The discussion will assess how Escobar bridges the two sciences in his article and how well researchers have bridged…

distribution a transect and a transect study was used. From the 160m transect study. Four types of trees were found, E. crebra, E. mollucana, M. decora and C. glauca. To illustrate the abundance, quadrat sampling was used. The quadrat sampling and the biodiversity survey showed that Longneck Lagoon has a high ranking for the overall health of the ecosystem. Abiotic factors that affects the distribution and abundance explored were air moisture, leaf litter, light, slope and soil pH. In the…

Maryland Zoo is based in Baltimore, a Baltimore insect exhibit will also whole-heartedly celebrate the notion of authenticity, and will be easier for the zoo to find and research about where the animals come from. Details, such as soil, geology, and biodiversity, should be heavily contemplated. The Maryland Zoo of Baltimore should implement Edward Bean’s, director of the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago, idea to have rockwork inspected by geologists (Hancocks, 77). The insect exhibit should showcase…

The Amazon Rainforest is being harmed in many different ways and Amazonians, Rubber tappers, Loggers, Settlers, Cattle Ranchers and the Environmental Groups, are trying to save it. My Interest Group I choose was The Rubber Tappers. I think the Rubber Tappers deserve to control the land because they are very beneficial to the rainforest and everyday resources because rubber tappers should be able to control the land because they're trying to save the trees from being illegally cut down, rubber…
