Both invasive species present a danger because they overtake the habitat of other plant life. The Rosarypea can grow over small trees and shrubs, and its roots can grow very deeply onto the ground and are very difficult to remove. The Earleaf acacia is more common in disturbed areas. It has also invaded pinelands, scrub, and hammocks and can displace native vegetation and shade out native plants. It is adapted to nutrient-poor soils in humid tropics and is fire adapted. According to our textbook…
African elephants will be lost by 2020?” (Marino). De-extinction aims to resurrect a single charismatic species, yet millions of species are threatened to become extinct. According to Stewart Pimm, a world leader in the studies of biodiversity and conservation biology, de-extinction is worse than a waste (Pimm). He says that by setting up the expectation that science and biotechnology can fix any damage that we are doing to the planet’s inhabitants, we will begin to worry less about the true…

3 Ways To Boost Furnace Effectiveness When the warm air inside your house leaks out quickly, your furnace will have to work harder than normal to keep your home warm. Having walls, ceilings, and floors that are properly insulated will go a long way with keeping the hot air in, but they are not enough. Windows are one area where air tends to leak out the most, and if you ignore them, your furnace won’t be operating at optimal efficiency. Double-Pane Windows If your home is older and still has…
In Edward O. Wilson’s newest book Half Earth: Our Planet’s Fight for Life, he argues that if we conserve half of the earth’s land and water for nature, we are likely to save 90% of the remaining life on the planet. At Wildlands Network, we have long advocated for essentially the same vision for the biodiversity of North America, long before Dr. Wilson so eloquently put it into words at the global scale. We’re putting these ideas into practice with the formation of our Eastern Wildway Network,…
As the summer is approaching, homeowners will be desperately looking for efficient air conditioning systems.

Their population in the wild has heavily diminished and is estimated to range between less than 400 to 500 remaining tigers. Their habitat ranges from lowland forest to mountain forest and…
What Does Conservation Mean to Me? Gaylord Nelson, the founder of Earth Day and a prior senator of the United States, once said, “The most important environmental issue is one that is rarely mentioned, and that is the lack of conservation ethnic in our culture.” Nelson, like me, appreciates the outdoors and wants to keep it beautiful. Although, to do that, we need to conserve the three main subjects, energy, water, wildlife, and trees just a bit more. Our lives revolve around the environment.…
messages from the presentation, in particular, that resonated with me the most. These messages include the purpose of conservation, and persevering even when the outlook is grim. It was due to the relatedness and the fact that conservation scientists often forget these messages that I regard the aforementioned messages as the most important. Brian Gratwicke defined the purpose of conservation science to be the mitigation of a threat. This purpose is often lost in light of politics. For…
