CHAPTER SEVEN 7.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS This chapter is the final chapter of the project work. Here various inferences, deductions, assumptions and presumptions are drawn on the research objectives and recommendations are also made to the research objectives and further research areas of importance in relation to the research topic are made. 7.1 Conclusions From a global perspective, wildlife crime has been identified as one of the key factor militating against the successful and…

Our planet is in the middle of the sixth mass extinction of mammals, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and plants. We are currently experiencing the worst case of extinction than the dinosaurs which was 65 million years ago. Extinction may be a natural event but there has been a recent increase of species extinction from 1000 to 10,000 per year. This means in the future we may lose species every day [1]. Before extinction was caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruption and climate change but this…

In the column, “The Case For Closing The Honolulu Zoo,” Bob Jones addresses the issue of Honolulu Zoo’s problems regarding its budget and attendance rates, informing the audience of the controversy behind using the taxpayers money to maintain the zoo’s facilities and such. The purpose of this column is to argue that the $7 million dollars that are currently being used for the zoo’s maintenance should be used for something that everyone needs, like roads and sewers. While stating his claims,…

Ivory trafficking is an immense problem that is threatening the lives of the diminishing African elephant population. In an attempt to raise awareness of the crisis, the documentary was filmed undercover for sixteen months in the heart of the problem. Kief Davidson and Richard Ladkani’s documentary “The Ivory Game” expresses the concern of elephants possibly becoming extinct due to poaching for their ivory tusks. The film delves into well-known poachers and their hotspots in an attempt to arrest…

Enrichment Recommendations Enrichment 1: In this scenario, the captive lions exhibit stereotypic pacing behaviors around feeding times. To address the welfare concern of pacing in these captive lions, I would recommend a change in the way food is presented. Felids engage in appetitive behaviors to obtain their food (Shepherdson et al, 1993), and these behaviors include locating, capturing, killing and consuming their prey (Lindburg, 1988). Varying the method and timing of food delivery by either…

The Fox and Rabbit Game: Predator – Prey Simulation By: Erick Chung Lab Partners: Bryan Oh, Justin Jang, Wilmer Roca 6/6/17 Introduction Objective: The objective of this lab is to discover and understand how predator-prey interactions affect population size. Hypothesis: If were to model the predator-prey relationship for 35 generations, then we would see that the relationship is inverse. Results Predator-Prey Simulation Data Qualitative Observations: The fox…

Amazing facts about the giraffe You probably think you are tall but until you realize that a baby giraffe may probably be taller than you, then you realize how short you are. The giraffe is the tallest terrestrial mammal in the world, a true beauty amongst the animals that roam the savannahs of Africa. The average height of a giraffe is between 4.3 metres to 5.8 metres with the adult female weighing about 800 kilograms and the male weighing 1,250 kilograms. This beautiful animal was first…

Summary of the african dolphin being put onto the endangered mammals list the reason why they are on the list. They label that something is vulnerable but they never check up on the species to see if there is a decline in the population and then they say that it is such a shame that it has to be the way it is. I think that if they would have watched the species that they would have never had the problem that they currently have. The humpback dolphin was poorly studied mammal used to be on the…

Adult emperor penguins weigh from 50 to 100 pounds and varies by sex, with males weighing more than females. It is the fifth heaviest living bird species, after only the larger varieties of ratite (CRC Handbook of Avian Body masses by John B. F Dunning. CRC press (1992), ISBN 978-0-8493-4258-5). Like all penguin species, emperor penguins have streamlined bodies to minimize drag while swimming, and wings that are more like stiff, flat flippers (Williams, Tony D. (1995). The Penguins. Oxford,…

Introduction - Wildlife Justice Commission The last decade has seen an unprecedented rise in the poaching and trafficking of endangered and iconic wildlife species. The very survival of species such as rhinos, elephants and tigers as well as countless less iconic species is at stake. From 2007 to 2014 rhino poaching in South Africa has increased by almost 10,000% (in 2007 there were 13 recorded instances of rhino poaching compared to 1,215 in 2014). In the first four months of 2015 incidences…
