Environmentalism is the political and philosophical position that the health of the natural world should be an item of social concern(CITE). Environmentalism relates to conservationism, the belief that natural resources should be treated carefully so as to produce the greatest benefit, and preservationism, the belief that untrammeled nature has inherent value, whether ecological, aesthetic, or spiritual, and therefore that some landscapes should be left undeveloped. (CITE) Within the history of…

The theory of environmental determinism is a prominent concept in the discipline of geography that has impacted the course of modern geographic thought as we know it (Peet 1985; Heffernan 2009). In brief, the premise of environmental determinism, also known as geographical determinism or climatic determinism, asserts that the physical environment, including climate, predisposes states, societies, and individuals towards specific development paths (Agnew and Livingstone 2011). Environmental…

Presence of carnivores helps to maintain the integrity of ecosystems throughout the world (Soulè and Terborgh, 1999). Many carnivores are capable of altering trophic structure and biodiversity through a process known as top-down control (Elmhagen and Rushton, 2007). Through this, carnivores are able to prevent the overabundance of herbivores. If uncontrolled, an explosion in herbivore population density would increase the grazing pressure that would ultimately threat the survival of the…

Niche that the organism fills The ecological niche or niche of an organism is the place and role in nature. This encompasses what it does, who it feeds, what it feed on as well as what it pollinates. Considering the role that the Brenton Blue butterfly fills, we find that like other butterflies, it serves as a pollinator. In this case, the Brenton Blue is a pollinator for its food plant, Indigo (scientific name Indigofera erecta). When the butterfly lands on the plant to feast on the nectar…
