Habitats

Because of human actions of deforestation, land degradation, air pollution, water pollution, habitat loss, and much more, these are only damaging the environment and tearing down the atmosphere, resulting in global warming and climate change to highly occur as high temperatures has increase in the past decades. In order to protect the biodiversity…

Human activities have tipped the scales in opposition to the survival of these ancient mariners, which…

conducting groundbreaking scientific research on the island’s finch population that further supported Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution and natural selection. The Galapagos Islands have about 13 species of finches that differ in size and in diverse habitats and may have originated from the same finch ancestor that arrived from the mainland about two million years ago. The three factors for evolutionary process, variability, selection by differential fitness, and heritability, are key to…

Whether certain animals have potentially fatal diseases or are disabled in some way, zoo keepers are there to protect the animals and help them grow and strive in areas where they are not skilled…

would associate myself with anything gorilla-related. The more research I did, the more information I found out about how several gorillas, especially mountain gorillas, are endangered. One threat the mountain gorillas face is the destruction of habitat. Another threat they face is poachers who kill them for their valuable organs. Because these threats put the mountain gorillas at a greater risk of extinction, and in spite of the efforts of the International Gorilla Conservation…

Most apes live in Cameroon and Congo basins and other central African equatorial regions. These apes share 99% of the human DNA. They can live up to 60 years and they are capable of intelligent communication. Apes have a…

1.0. INTRODUCTION Mangroves ecosystem provide an important sources such as food, medicines, material for building and filtering pollution. Mangrove forests are among the economically highest valued ecosystems. However, increase of urbanization and climate change affected the ecological functioning and the goods and services that are provided by mangrove system. Such that, the mangrove large areas are rapidly disappearing. In addition, it is degrade the condition of remaining areas. Additionally…
