come out in 2005, 2010, 2013, and 2015 in the attempt to best carry out these conservation efforts.

With 12 distinct eco-regions covering approximately 268,500 square miles, Texas has an astounding array of climates, soils and habitats.” (Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, 2017) And then proceeds later…

quality and wildlife habitat. A riparian zone refers to stream bank system, including the stream, soils, flora, and fauna within it. Riparian buffers, specifically, are one of the most significant structures to implement along streams and rivers because of the structure’s many functions and abilities. Riparian buffer zones act as a canopy to shade and cool stream temperatures, as a filter strip to attenuate sediment, pollutant, and nutrient runoff, and as a wildlife habitat, all wrapped into one…

the biodiversity action plans and the importance they have across the globe. This POSTnote examines the risks of butterfly decline for the UK, exploring the anthropogenic impacts on the Duke of Burgundy and assessing relevant strategies to better conservation. OVERVIEW • Values of the Butterfly to humans. • Urban sprawl and agricultural management changes have…

farmland, which does help with harmful pests, but it also unintentionally damages bee populations as well. Lastly another cause of this issue is habitat loss. Bees losing their homes to loss of habitat also means that organisms in that field also suffer. Factors such as non-bee friendly flowers are also things that drive honeybees away from their natural habitat. (Natural Resources Defense…

Wildlife Conservation Multiple communities, habitats, environments, and ecosystems all coexist with each other to form our planet, Earth. Included in these communities, habitats, environments, and ecosystems are thousands of different species. These species, over centuries, have developed symbiotic relationships with each other as a way of survival. In other words, this “Circle of Life” has been established and for centuries has been effective enough to sustain Earth’s species. However, what…

experience, is life behind metal bars and barren concrete with people gawking at them. The number of animals suffering from extreme stress and depression is increasing daily. Zoos teach people it is acceptable to interfere with animals in their natural habitat and continue to place them into captivity; depriving them of open space, herds, and control over their life. A large percentage of the animals living in zoos are captive bred, and are traded between zoos their entire life. Many people…

The park’s great stretches even farther back, thus, having more valuation to the people now who own the park. A projectile point has been found was estimated to be 9,000 years old. The living, and non-living things that…
