Extinction

Mass Extinction of the Human Species The future is not guaranteed for individuals, and the same is true for all of humanity. Of the millions of species that exist on this planet humans are known as the most intelligent, but maybe this is a misconception. While mankind carries on its activities, the chance of a mass extinction grows with every misuse of the earth. It is more likely that humans will cause their own extinction than it is that they would be wiped out by a natural catastrophe…

if our world was like the world in the movie Jurassic Park, where de extinction is reality. Although we do not have the ability to bring the ancient dinosaurs back, we can bring back recently extinct species using their preserved and complete DNA. While some may want to bring extinct animals back, they do not acknowledge what could go wrong, like the catastrophe that occurred in the movie, Jurassic Park. Although de extinction would be cool to see, we should not bring extinct animals back to…

weekend alone. The movie, detailing mass panic as carnivorous dinosaurs, painstakingly brought back from extinction, break away from their artificial habits and wreak havoc on their keepers, both captivated and horrified the imagination of its viewers. Although the events portrayed by Jurassic Park have forever remained in the realm of science fiction, the idea of de-extinction has not. De-extinction is a fundamentally awesome, but fundamentally flawed idea. It is hard to ignore the wonder that…

eventually becoming extinct. The main problem that generates extinction is human activity; people cause extinction every day and unknowingly to them, it is killing innocent animals. Due to pollution, natural forces, human interaction, and loss of habitats, animal extinction is a major crisis in the world; people are the only ones that can save the animal population before it is too late. Pollution is among the most insidious threats to animal extinction. It can be as obvious as sewage and oil…

Endangered species are species of animals or plants that are at risk of extinction, this means that there are very few of them and they could potentially all die out. Some of the factors that cause extinction are loss of habitat, hunting, diseases and climate change. • Snow Leopard - Panthera uncia • Blue Whale - Balaenoptera musculus • Giant Panda - Ailuropoda melanoleuca Snow Leopard Snow Leopards are mainly found in the Eastern Himalayas and Yangtze. They live in the cold high mountain…

is because of evolution and extinction. It is the nature’s way to continually adapt to the fast changing environment, though extinction is the “end of the line” of all living species; it is the key to the survival of the future generation species. But with humans around premature extinction will be a problem due to our selfishness and loss of respect to our environment. With humans also known as “wise man”, they will develop a way to slow down the premature extinction to prolong their existence…

marine life aren’t left stranded and on the brink of extinction. To protect the stable sustainability of some of most values inhabitants of UAE, Organisations such as the Emirates Wildlife Society (EMS-WWF), Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) and Al Ain Zoo are all working greatly.…

were believed to be excellent hunters and hunted animals such as sloths and mammoths. These felines could open their jaws at an angle of 120 degrees – almost twice as wide as a modern lion. It is thought the Sabre-tooth Cats extinction may be linked to the decline and extinction of large herbivores, which were replaced by smaller and more agile ones like deer.…

After doing research on the idea of de-extinction, I believe that de-extinction comes with a few benefits and many costs to the ecosystem. To be able to understand de-extinction, I think a person must understand the life cycle of every species on the planet and the current environments around the world. One way de-extinction could benefit the world would be by replenishing and filling in the holes in the food chain. If extinct animals helped regulate the existing habitats, that could possibly…

I always knew what we were doing to the world was bad but I never thought it was this bad. Everything people are doing that they don't think is affecting the world and all the animals they need to think again. Tons of people are ruining the planet and because of this animals are starting to go extinct faster than ever before. One person doesn't think they might be doing much by driving a car or killing an animal. But even though it's one person that's how everyone thinks so it's tons of people.…
