Conservation status

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…

Wildlife Conservation Multiple communities, habitats, environments, and ecosystems all coexist with each other to form our planet, Earth. Included in these communities, habitats, environments, and ecosystems are thousands of different species. These species, over centuries, have developed symbiotic relationships with each other as a way of survival. In other words, this “Circle of Life” has been established and for centuries has been effective enough to sustain Earth’s species. However, what…

dynamics and its influence on the endangered animal populations, traditional medicine and coordination between wildlife conservation, wildlife control border areas illegal hunting and trade, as well as the use of hunting sustainability model in conservation practice is to protect the future Focus. Illegal hunting and illegal wildlife exert a severe ruin to our diversity conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, but less than the related research. It recommended the establishment of…

the advancement jeopardizes the conservation of nature and the well being of the animals that roamed the earth long before us humans. The goal behind conservation is the preservation of any aspect involving nature. A large part of understanding conservation is being able to view the effort from an ethical standpoint regarding the environment (e.g. egalitarian biocentrism). There are conservation…

Red, yellow, and orange blended into a single swath of color as I drove north along the Blue Ridge Parkway on an autumn day in Appalachia. I slowed down as I passed by a row of trees noticeably smaller than the rest, reflecting back to what was visible before their growth. Six years ago, as a high school student, I used a graphical information system (GIS) to conduct a viewshed analysis of undesirable vantage points on this scenic byway. Alongside this data I created before and after imagery in…

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…

issues and the devastation of the wilderness. Upon returning, he successfully convinced Roosevelt and the California governor to make the valley part of Yosemite National Park. Many of his articles were so inspiring that readers began to speak for conservation in politics. Also, John Muir was actively involved in the fight personally. One example of this is when he started a campaign against the damming of the Hetch Hetchy Valley. Many of Muir’s efforts helped prevent natural areas from being…
