Habitat destruction

human influences. Habitat destruction is the greatest contributor to the extinction of species. Human actions which threaten biodiversity can be divided into two categories, deliberate actions and unintentional actions. Many habitats for example, swamps, wetlands, forests and other habitats get destroyed for human consumption and industrial gain. By destroying habitats, many different animals face death because they no longer have homes and protection from other predators. Habitat destruction does not only affect a small area it affects a whole ecosystem. Half of the world’s forests have been removed and the worst affected forests are the tropical forests . Deforestation impacts…

The six factors summarized by HIPPCO include habitat destruction, degradation, and fragmentation; invasive species; population growth and increasing use of resources; pollution; climate change; and overexploitation. All these factors summarized by HIPPCO may be applied to whales to describe how their populations have been affected and will be affected in the future. Quite simply, the whale populations have been decimated by human activity and environmental catastrophes that have ultimately…

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…

One of the biggest causes of bee loss is global warming, which changes the cycle of how flowers bloom in a certain season. Bees and pollinators hibernate, and often times what happens is that the flowers they need for food bloom before they are done with hibernation, which throws off the cycle in which the bees work in. Another danger against bees is the use of pesticides in farmland, which does help with harmful pests, but it also unintentionally damages bee populations as well. Lastly another…

This synthesis paper is consists of the reasons why habitat destruction and animal extinction occurs and the effects of the habitat destruction and animal extinction in the living things. This may answer some of your questions and lessen your curiosity about the topic. In making this research, I browsed the internet for more information and analyzed some articles about the topic. I also needed to summarize some information and synthesis paper from the internet. In this research paper you will…

Many people are afraid off bees and because of that not many people care about saving them and their habitats even though they are very essential to humans. In the article Helping the bee and its habitat before the food chain gets stung Juliet Elperin talks about how bees are very important to the environment, but how they’re in danger. She shows how th bees are in danger and the causes of them being in danger eve though they’re very important to humans, but through the help of humans how them…

Period 4 12 June, 2015 To What Degree, Are Americans Responsible For The Destruction of Natural Habitats? Habitat loss poses the greatest threat to species. The world’s forests, swamps, plains, lakes and other natural habitats continue to disappear as they are harvested for human consumption and cleared to make way for agriculture, housing, roads, pipelines and other hallmarks of industrial development. A large contributor to these ecological problems faced today is the people who reside in the…

black-tailed prairie dogs had once covered about seven million acres of Colorado. Since then, the population of the black-tailed prairie dog has declined. According to the article, “Black-Tailed Prairie Dog,” there are multiple factors that have causes the decline in population for prairie dogs. Some of the factors include sylvatic plague, direct loss of habitat to urban/suburban development, habitat fragmentation, systematic poisoning, inadequate regulatory mechanisms, and conversion of habitat…

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…

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…
