Habitat conservation

The conservation movement within the United States was the ending of an unlimited national resource era and the beginning of the creation of nature as capitalism. Between the years of 1850-1930 government opened up national parks and forest in hopes to balance out the effects of westward expansion and the depletion of America’s natural advantages. Within this movement there were many key officials such as Theodore Roosevelt who saw the benefits in protecting the United States natural sights.…

about game wardens? Most people do not know what game wardens are, but people should be aware of who they are because they play a major role in law. Game wardens are important because they enforce hunting, fishing, and trapping law, and they do conservation. They also teach hunter education courses. One of the main things that game wardens do is enforce laws. The game wardens have the authority as a local Sheriff to arrest them. This means that they can arrest them for driving under the…

to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) landings in the last six decades have nearly tripled, resulting in a worldwide decline of shark populations. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) carried out extensive assessments worldwide on the conservation status of shark species, and recently considerable effort has been placed on local assessments of shark populations in the Indo-Australasian region (Cavanagh et al., 2003, White & Kyne, 2010). At the…

“Our Plundered Planet” by Fairfield Osborn. In the 1960s there were many books most popular being “Silent Spring” by Rachel Carson which emphasized the importance of conservation, but this was reserved for species that were easily recognised. Over the years this has progressed but we are now faced with the problem of ‘cuddly’ conservation. Such that the larger more beautiful creatures are given more importance than the distasteful looking ones. However it should be that all species play a role…

go farther even though it is limited. “In 2012 only 18% of expenses were used to acquire critical habitats for conservation” (Platt 51). This budget is similar to a farmer buying 30 bags of seeds to plant but, only buying 10 feet of land. To grow the trees and make a profit the farmer must buy enough land to sustain the life he plans to grow. In addition, the world is losing many different habitats, like the “Tropical Mountain System”, that animals need to survive (Mongabay 56). Others claim…

no longer offering dog-cloning services since artificial creation was occurring just for a tiny and uninterested market. Though Stewart Brand was right in a way in talking about how artificial regeneration would lead to “conservation” of lost-species, the purpose of conservation should also be thought in terms of money. When Ehrlich stated that de-extinction, or rather “uninterested” genetics, is “a fascinating but dumb idea”, the CEO and Ehrlich were correct since genetic evolution, is an…

Throughout the world, there are 230 accredited zoos and aquariums in nine different countries (Zoo and Aquarium Statistics, 2017). A safe assumption is that most people have been to a zoo at least once in their lifetime. With this being said, one of the trending topics in today’s world is if these zoos are helpful or harmful to animal’s well-being. One of the recent events that have occurred in sparking this debate happened in 2016 at the Cincinnati Zoo, where a three-year-old boy slipped…
