Many people around the world have no idea what is happening to the native ecosystem in Hawaii, most people would just assume that it is perfectly intact and will last forever. Yes, the ecosystem will last a very long time, but unless we do something about it, it will be in dire straights not long from today. This paper will discuss the history of this growing problem, the effect is has on, not only people in Hawaii but people worldwide, and what can be done to help solve this terrible…

Scientific name: Acrocephalus Aequinoctialis This is an endangered species. Ecological role: Maintains prey/predator population. Helps maintain the spread of a species of weed by dispersing certain seeds as well as feasting on the plant. In danger due to threat from predatorial rat (rattus spp.) and cat species (Felis catus), hunting by children and adults on the island, loss of trees (trumpet tree) that provide food and habitat loss due to sudden and ill-planned immigration. Proposed…

"Due to the potential advantages for pharmaceutical companies farmers, and research agencies, mammalian cloning is likely to become a common technology towards the end of this decade" (Smith 923). Allowing scientists to create a doppelganger will certainly open a new set of ideas in the science field; life can be recreated all in the hands of a scientists. Cloning in science will lead to a whole new style of living by helping those in need through medical advancements, the reviving of extinct or…

they own. In the overpopulated cities, you don’t get the opportunity to do that. Limiting our freedom is not the only effect of overpopulation, extinction of valuable species is also a problem. Species extinction is becoming a major problem in this world. We are on the verge of one of the greatest extinctions in the history of our planet. The last extinction as great as this was when the dinosaurs became extinct. We cover animal’s habitats with our homes and roads. We are also making these many…

zoos and wildlife parks that have the Amur leopards in captivity. It is essential that the leopards in captivity are bred with the appropriate partner to ensure genetic diversity which will, in the future, hopefully reduce the risk of the species extinction through inbreeding. It will also ensure that the leopards born in the future will be stronger, increase the lifespan of the species and that the species will have fewer diseases to contend…

harming innocent animals, this is a very important topic because by capturing animals we put them in danger of extinction and harms aquatic ecosystems, many marine mammals live in large groups and have a high life expectancy, but this greatly decreases when they are kept in captivity, animal captivity is a very common problem, and it is putting many marine species in danger of extinction and needs to be stop, because it harms the marine life and their environments, an example would be dolphins…

To be or to be not...that is the question. Do we as a species live for the future or does humanity thus risk extinction? That was the question that entered my consciousness upon completion of Edward O. Wilson’s Future of Life. Almost two decades ago, this book was published. It probed at an issue that wasn’t novel at that time nor has it been reprimanded at this point in time. Within this book, Wilson raises concerns about the environment and even provides possible remedial plans. Written in…

stop suffering. Animals should not be used for cosmetic testing because they are indefensive therefore, cosmetic companies should find other alternatives, humans also have different body function then animals, and experiments can lead to animal extinction. First of all, there are many alternative that cosmetic companies can use. One of them is the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability. This alternative uses cornea tissues in place of live rabbits. Also, Human cells and tissue culture have…

Did you know that thousands of animals are being illegally hunted every year? This is called poaching. People kill animals without a hunting license or out of season. About 5 thousand animals are poached every year. Many species of animals go extinct every decade because of poaching. One solution to animal poaching is by increasing the amount of wildlife officers. If you increase the amount of wildlife officers you will probably get more coverage around the state. More coverage means that…
