Endangered species

Chile takes the protection of endangered species very seriously. In fact, Chile became a Party to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) on July 1, 1975 as a founding member along with eight other countries. Chile also signed and ratified the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in 1994 [PNUD], two years after its introduction at the Rio Earth Summit in 1992. Most recently, on October 5, 2015, we announced the creation of the largest…

1. Thesis: By applying textual and constructive canons to the Endangered Species Act, it is clear Leg/Reg #41 that Congress intended to protect endangered species from indirect harm, such as timber harvesting. 2. Canons: A) It is unclear whether the meaning of the phrase “to harm” can include indirect conduct, one can look at §1 to gain a better understanding of the statutory purpose; B) In the case of statutory ambiguity, the purpose clause can be a valuable source of insight into…

are they able to take down ungulate prey at will. They encounter many moose, sheep, caribou, and other species before finding vulnerable individuals. Wolves must rely on sophisticated cooperative pursuit, testing, and killing tactics because of the difficulty…

Cloning endangered species to save them is a horrible idea, doing this will bring back species that could go through more pain, or be very bad for our health, to contradict, all animals deserve a chance to survive without interference by the more intelligent species’. There are pros and cons to this controversial issue. Many people want to see dinosaurs again, but do not realize how dangerous they can be. But sometimes humans are stupid enough to wipe out an entire species in a matter of decade;…

The Endangered Species Act, 16 U.S.C. §1531 et seq., requires that the Corps ensure that manatees and manatee habitat will not be negatively affected by the proposed project. The application received from NASA Environmental Assurance Branch fails to state protective measures they will implement to evade adverse impacts to manatees. The conditions to follow, found within the previously referenced document by the Army Corps of Engineers in 1979, will offset any major direct or indirect injury or…

As these aspects come together, unemployment is greatly affected. Machinery and robots have taken many jobs and industries are realizing that people in other countries will work the same amount but for less.

Kessler agrees to technology taking people’s jobs, but he also explains how there is no longer a “blue-collar” and “white collar” workers, instead, “There are two types of workers…

Threatened means any species likely to become an endangered species in the near future throughout all or a significant portion of its range as defined in the Endangered Species Act.

wolves. After the Senate withdrew the gray wolf from the endangered species list, in 2011, the slaughtering of wolves began to escalate again. This caused wolf hunters to fall deeper into their paranoid fantasy that wolves represents a liberal conspiracy against farmland and livestock. The species of wolves are on the brink of losing federal protection across the nation. With the removal of the wolf from the endangered species list, the wolf species will dwindle in population, like it did in the…

world are decreasing at a surprising rate. If we don't protect them, then these animals will be gone forever. People should help protect endangered species for many obvious reasons, such as it would help with ecosystems, earth would be much cleaner, and it would improve life for future generations to come. First, we should help protect the endangered species for our ecosystems. On the website Nature Matters, it points out that if we help out, we will be able to maintain a healthy and…
