reproduced (Primate Conservation and Clean Water lecture/video). 2. Why has bushmeat hunting shifted from subsistence to profit-driven business? Bushmeat hunting shifted from subsistence to profit-driven business because the human population grew, which resulted in less food supplies. Another reason this happened was because in Africa there’s no economic stability and this drives people to run out of options to get money to live which causes them to rely on this (Primate Conservation and Clean…
Virunga National Park Tourism: Have Positive Influence On Local Economy, Conservation and Politic. Virunga National Park is a park where many gorillas live and there are many natural resources. Through the Virunga documentary, (2014) a documentary that depicts rangers take risks to protect gorillas in Virunga National Park, we can know there are many poaching and political conflicts which negatively impact local people and environment. In the documentary, local people claim that Virunga…
rationale The red wolf (Canis rufus) is a critically endangered canid species that is endemic to the south-east regions of the United States. In the past, the wolves were widespread in numerous American states, but persecution and loss of habitat restricted them to the states of Louisiana and Texas where they then struggled with high parasite numbers and hybridization with coyotes (Canis latrans) (Brzeski et al., 2014). As red wolves are an endangered species, efforts to…
lives. It also brings people and nature together, it is a way to observe how beautiful and delicate the environments and ecosystems are and how important it is to conserve and restore the environment we habitat and have destroyed. As an applied anthropologist I would be able to assist in the conservation and restoration projects that the various parks intend to implement. I have an understanding on how individuals interact with their…
In this report, the recommendation will justify which proposal will be the best option for the Gold Coast and the future management of the Spit. The most beneficial option for the Spit is proposal 1. The conservation of the Spit will be a great asset towards the Gold Coast. The project will benefit the Gold Coast; the plan has many key positive social, economic and environmental aspects that support the Spit while also maximizing the interest of the community. It is important that the Spit will…
Humans have threatened their habitats by illegal logging, poaching, mining and urbanization of the rainforests in the region. This area is the most inhabited in Brazil. Minimizing the natural habitats of these tree loving creatures, can lower the risk of other habits. Their habitat has been chopped up and developed areas have grown up in between their habitats. Making it hard for…
are the forests. In these forests, lies hundreds of animal species, including endangered and unique mammals such as lemurs and thousands of plant species that grow throughout the island. The forests of Madagascar are some of the most endangered habitats in the biosphere due to human interactions with the environment. In reality, harmful human interactions towards the forests of Madagascar were created because of the poverty among them. Communities throughout Madagascar are in need of natural…
2.Briefly explain why it is important to learn the hardy-weinberg equation and what the equation allows us to study in terms of population genetics -It is important to learn it because it provides us with mathematical evidence that evolution will not occur under certain circumstances such as migration or mutation. Comparing populations to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium helps us better understand the mechanisms of evolution. With this equation, we can determine if a population is evolving. Under the…
world. Forestry has many uses, and we use many things each day that have came from forests. Forest reservations are important as they reserve forested lands for us to take in the beauty of nature. There are many ways in which forests are harvested. Conservation and preservation are needed to insure the health of our forests for the future. Foresters are the individuals who have the extremely important job of caring for our forests. All of these things explain why forests are vital to the Pacific…
typically live for 13 year. They live in the Mediterranean Forests, Woodlands and Scrub of Portugal and Spain primarily. Their current population size is about 100-200 right now. I think that the Iberian lynx population is in trouble because of habitat loss and lack of food, illegal hunting and people driving recklessly and hitting them. The lynx population is decreasing exponentially, one of the reasons being is the viral hemorrhagic disease which the lynx got from the rabbits living in the…
