the Florida panthers existence. However, there are some very serious problems that have come about as a result of inbreeding. The Florida panther is now plagued by infertility, heart abnormalities, and infectious diseases. La Pierre states, “Florida panthers, which historically numbered in the thousands and roamed the Southeastern states, have been reduced to one population of 30 to 50 adults” (44). With numbers like these it is clear that action needs to be taken. Luckily, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has taken great measures in an attempt to restore the Florida panthers’ gene pool by adding genetic restoration to the Florida Panther Recovery Plan. Through this recovery program they were able to take genetic material from the Texas cougar and add it to the Florida panthers’ gene pool. La Pierre reports that several of the Florida panthers that had genetic material added have had kittens (44). In spite of this recovery program, however, the Florida panther still faces many difficulties. From Yvette La Pierre’s article, the discussion of pollutants, habitat loss, and inbreeding reveals the despairing situation of the Florida panther. These beautiful big cats are now battling threats to their existence from all sides. Modern day threats such as the polluting of waterways pose serious problems for the Florida panthers’ existence. However, there are many alternative methods for getting rid of waste. In addition to this, we should also every measure possible to ensure that…

Wind howls as it blows across the mountainside, for nothing blocks it. Monster mule deer graze on the horizon as bighorn sheep bed down on some rocks, prepared for any situation that may arise. The Rockies are not just home to mighty animals but a wide variety of people as well: The Roadhunter, The Nature Hunter, and The Hardcore Hunter. The most…

Both articles have really good information about and why should we protect wolves. Well, of course, it doesn’t come right out and say it. I think the second passage, “Wolf Family Values” is the article I am picking that has more information about the wolves. Why? You may ask is because, the first article, “Scared to Death” has about the elk and what happens when the wolf population came back. The second text is more about the wolves, and they are all about. “Once upon a time, folklore shaped our…

“I recognize the right and duty of this generation to develop and use the natural resources of our land; but I do not recognize the right to waste them, or to rob, by wasteful use, the generations that come after us.” - A part of speech at Osawatomie, Kansas, on August 31, 1910. Thus president Theodore Roosevelt became a conservationist.

Why do people want to get rid of wolf hunting? This is a question many people sometimes forget about. Many people shoot guns for the sport. Others hunt for the meat from the animal that they claim.

In 1974, the gray wolf was placed on the endangered species list, but in Yellowstone National Park wolves had already been hunted for almost a hundred years, the last pack being killed off in 1926. In 1995, eight wolves were relocated from western Canada to Yellowstone, and in the next year, a total of thirty-one wolves were brought in (NPS, 2016). This was the start of what some may call one of the greatest wildlife restoration projects ever undertaken. Twenty years after the fact, Yellowstone…
