Habitat conservation

Roger Gottlieb, Robert Bullard, and Ramachandra Guha write on contemporary global environmental movements and the deficiencies they face. While Gottlieb and Bullard’s works suggest the ongoing inability of environmental groups to incorporate needs of minority communities into their practices, Guha concedes that most global environmentalism—which also tends to be conducted by developed, white countries—denies developing countries a say in the creation of global environmental consciousness and…

I am currently a student at El Camino College and my short term goal is to obtain an Associate of Science in biology. Upon graduation, I plan to transfer to California State University, Dominguez Hills to obtain a bachelor’s degree in biology by 2019. My educational aspirations consist of acquiring a Bachelor’s degree in biology that would accommodate me in pursuing a wildlife biologist career. Wildlife biologists have the responsibility of conducting projects, research studies, and complex data…

disrupts the fragile balance key to the turtle’s survival. By changing hydrological cycles global warming dries out or floods the turtle’s habitat. In the northeast region invasive plants such as purple loosestrife dries out large areas of suitable habitat for the bog turtle. They generally live in areas with soft muddy bottoms so when invasive plants dry out their habitat they can no longer live there and have to migrate to another area. Migrating for such small turtles can be very dangerous.…

must be protected for sustainability. Finally, management plans should be integrated to include the cultural and socioeconomic standing of the community. The use of population harvest models, monitoring populations, ensuring availability of healthy habitat, and adjacently locating non-hunted and hunted areas can ensure greater…

have altered the environment and changed the territory. This exploits the species of that area directly. As a result of the isolation and small size of the island, the ecosystems of the Polynesia-Micronesia hotspots are exceedingly vulnerable to habitat degradation. Due to the threats, species in this hotspot are some of the most endangered in the world and species extinction rates are high, especially for birds and mammals (McGinley, 2011). Humans use animals for food, medicine, building…

And we won’t admit it. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature there is around 16,000 species at risk of extinction and 41,415 species that are threatened. Many species including ourselves are in danger if we do not look for a solution to prevent it. In Andrea Wulf’s The Invention of Nature, she introduces Alexander von Humboldt who was the first scientist to notice climate change. Today, it is a big topic since we can see it occur in front us or on the news such as and…

time coming to a consensus with the Endangered Species Act. In fact, business leaders say “that the nation should focus on economic growth instead of setting aside habitat for species that are so similar to one another that the loss of some will have no discernible impact.”() By understanding the historical impact of animal conservation and benefits that animals provide for humans, people can see the importance of forming organizations and making an effort to conserve the Earth’s…

article begins with a list of factors that is leading to the rising cause of amphibians’ extinction; from environmental degradation to community instability to individual mechanism. These factors include their role as important prey and predators, habitat loss, environmental contamination, and overharvesting. Warkentin continues with a basic summary of the wild harvesting of frog legs in the international trade system. He stated that there has been an overall increase in the global trade of…

in every country in Africa. There are more tigers in people backyards than in the wild.Over one hundred years ago there used to be 100,000 tigers in the world now there are only about 3,200 tigers left and only 7% tigers are at a historical tiger habitat contains and convestations think in a few decades it illegal hunting continuous tigers and over half the animals will be extinct. There are nine tiger species three species are now extinct and two are critically endangered and four are…

African elephants will be lost by 2020?” (Marino). De-extinction aims to resurrect a single charismatic species, yet millions of species are threatened to become extinct. According to Stewart Pimm, a world leader in the studies of biodiversity and conservation biology, de-extinction is worse than a waste (Pimm). He says that by setting up the expectation that science and biotechnology can fix any damage that we are doing to the planet’s inhabitants, we will begin to worry less about the true…
