Extinction

When an animal is being threatened into extinction shouldn’t it be a good thing that we are putting them in a protected environment till they grow in population again? Are there any other ways to help the animals? Animals are getting hunted and some are getting to the point of extinction, to try and help the situation we put them in zoos or in nature parks till they regain their population. While most people see this as a good thing some still think that we should leave them in their natural…

the condition are stimulus generalisation and discrimination, extinction and recovery. Generalisation is a type of condition where it promotes a similar response after the response has been learned. Secondly, discrimination is to break of the conditioned response with an other response it has not already been doubled with. Moreover, recovery is the bringing back of a response that has never really been forgotten and lastly the extinction involves the behaviour fading and decreasing away. Watson…

extinct every 24 hours. This statistic doesn’t seem so shocking until the realization comes that this is almost 1,000 times the natural rate for extinction. Humans contribute a great amount to this pandemic. A prime example is that of the dodo bird, which was famously hunted into extinction. Around 20,000 species are currently listed as threatened by extinction by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). When assessing the status of a species, one of the factors for the IUCN is…

fraction of a percent of GDP and almost none of that ever reaches rural communities.” (Croswell) The actions that hunters make by killing animals for pleasure does not help conservation in the wild and all it does is create issues. It also leads to the extinction of a species which can create a problem in the animal…

behind-the-scenes work that goes into these organizations, and they have become a crucial part to today’s generation. By keeping animals in captivity, zoos have a positive effect on both society and their animals because they protect species from extinction and habitation loss, entertain and educate the public about zoology, and care for…

fifty years, with many of the animals we know and love gradually disappearing. Estimates of extinction could reach up to 29%, depending upon the area and the biome the animal resides in. (Thomas et al. 146). When a particular area is not suitable for an animal’s habitat anymore, they often will migrate to an area that is more accommodating. In Lee Hannah’s book titled Saving a Million Species: Extinction Risk from Climate Change, he informs the public, “In general, it is clear that migration…

Australian mainland. However, it became extinct 2200 years ago on the mainland, possibly due to the competition with the dingo. (Evans.2015). The tiger’s main decline in Tasmania was largely due to the impact that humans had. The biggest cause of extinction was the constant bounty that was put on its head, due to the common belief of being a threat to livestock. In 1830 the VDLC offered a bounty for the skin of each thylacine, and then in 1888 the Tasmanian government offered a bounty of £1 for…
