Habitats

shoreline habitats unique among other types of shorelines. Their article looks at threats to beaches, from weather patterns, to extreme storms, as well as man made structures and failed attempts at beach rehabilitation. The article makes a point that long-term information about the on-going changes in beach habitats is often hard to come by, and what information can be found is very short-term, geologically speaking. They suggest that in order to properly measure threats to beach habitats, long…

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…

Zoos exist for one main reason, conservation, but does locking animals up actually help a species survive? When zoos keep animals captive, they often become depressed, not successful in conservation and exposed to harsh habitat conditions. Animals experience unfair and cruel lives while humans use the excuse of protection to keep them captive.Therefore, I take the position that keeping animals captive is a cruel thing. Animals in captivity are often depressed, lonely, and aggressive due to human…

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…

Is it important to maintain the colonies of prairie dogs in Colorado? What exactly makes prairie dogs so important? Who supports them and fights for them, and what is killing them? Prairie dogs, like many other livings on Earth, are valuable to our ecosystem. They are responsible for keeping the cycle of life going and helping to maintain a healthy structure in the wild, both as predator and prey. There are wildlife activists who support prairie dogs and who support non-lethal methods of…

flows northwards into the Brisbane River (refer to the map) and is an example of a riparian zone, which by definition is “the interface between land and a river or creek” (Dictionary.com, 2015). Freshwater creeks such as Bulimba creek are an optimum habitat where fish, invertebrates, plants and birds thrive in it. They provide “feeding, spawning and/or nursery areas for many species of freshwater fish” and support a diversity of plant communities including “trees, rushes, or floating and…

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…

it effects the environment by depleting natural resources and habitat degradation. Globalization and the industrial revolution, historically, have not been kind to the environment. At first technology made the impact capitalism has on the environment even worse. It Europeans thousands of years to destroy their own environment, but only hundreds to destroy the environment of other through colonialism. Nevertheless, pollution, habitat destruction, and the loss of biodiversity have taken their…
