Habitat conservation

According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation 680,000 jobs have been created by the practice of hunting in the United States. That is a miniscule number compared to the $796 million that hunters directly contribute to conservation programs each year in the United States (National Shooting Sports Foundation). Hunting has always been an essential part of American life, a past time that transcends ethnicity, age, religion and gender. Passed from generation to generation, the practice of hunting originally served to keep us alive as our ancestors sought to survive extreme conditions by hunting animals and then consuming the remains, growing stronger in the process, in this sense you can say that hunting has been embedded into our DNA and…

Zoos exist for one main reason, conservation, but does locking animals up actually help a species survive? When zoos keep animals captive, they often become depressed, not successful in conservation and exposed to harsh habitat conditions. Animals experience unfair and cruel lives while humans use the excuse of protection to keep them captive.Therefore, I take the position that keeping animals captive is a cruel thing. Animals in captivity are often depressed, lonely, and aggressive due to human…

animal cruelty is a serious issue that is commonly thought to be an issue of the past – but is it really? Animal cruelty, even though it has decreased significantly over the past century, is still rampant. Through the use of hundreds of thousands of zoos around the world, those who have claimed to be stopping the capture and abuse of millions of animals have allowed it to go by unnoticed and even supported by the public. From premature death and bad health to unnatural habitats and the culling…

With that said, the Malagasy Civet is near threatened and Grandidier's mongoose is endangered, while Durrell's vontsira conservation status has yet to be evaluated. The species is under threat of habitat destruction and pollution. There is also an introduced species called the Small Indian Civet that is competing with the Euplerids. As you can tell by the photography, the species look different, while all still being a smaller mammal. Yet, the genetics between them are very close. All though…

think if they trees and cool paintings it will make it all good. They are wrong, animals are there for years and they will find everything to know about the habitat by the first year. Eventually this makes the animals bored, causing them to not do much which makes it not as enjoyable for the people that come. (http://www.veganpeace.com/animal_cruelty/zoos.htm) Stress behaviors are an easy way to tell if an animal is depressed or…

Over the course of our lives, we are taught that human overpopulation refers to the number of how many people live on this planet and that it is the reason why Earth is not going to be able to sustain us for much longer. Many people believe, however, that the population of the human race isn’t the reason for Earth’s decline in resources. It is, in fact, us. We, as a species, are solely responsible for Earth’s sudden decline in sustainability. It is not how many of us there are, it is how we live…

Environmental Effects on Pillbug Behavior Catherine Liapes October 14, 2015 AP Biology- Pd.9 Mr. Angus Introduction: Before conducting this lab, I researched information on pillbugs and learned that pill bugs are commonly found in damp environments such as piles of leaves, or under logs. Although they are crustaceous, they can still spend their entire lives on land. They are about ¾ inch in length with seven pairs of legs, and multiple antennae. Pillbugs are nocturnal and mainly…

The Pill Bug has many names like such as Woodlice , potato bugs , roly-poly and the Sow Bug . The Pill Bug's real scientific name is the Armadillidium Vulgare. The Aramadillidium Vulgare lives mainly in humid areas of the world underneath logs and stones ; the reason behind this is because they breathe through a gill like structure on the underside of their bodies . The Pill Bug is known to many countries around the world mainly but in Mediterranean areas . The Pill bug is in the class…

The Endangered Species Act is the most successful and important conservation act in the United States of America. More than 2,000 plants and animals are protected under this act and 93% of these species have remained stable since they became protected under the ESA. The Endangered Species Act is administered by two federal agencies, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The ESA has helped prevent some of our most beloved creatures…

Where the Wild Things Are If someone says they love animals but they pay money to see them in captivity, can they be trusted? Animals all over the world are put into captivity just for the entertainment of others instead of leaving them in their natural habitats so they can continue the circle of life. Putting a wild animal in captivity can cause zoochosis which then leads to serious health issues for it. Wild animals should be left in their natural habitat instead of being put into captivity…
