Legal attempts at resolution: CIITES pros are it is harder and takes a lot longer to get a permit to cut down trees and it protects 700 other species. The negatives is it is not strongly enforced, violators only pay a small fine, countries can exempt themselves from certain species. The positives of the Lacey Act it is one of the broadest of the government to combat wildlife crime. The Lacey Act also is a lot stricter than past laws. The negatives to the Lacey Act is it is hard to regulate and…

Invasive species have the potential to have a dramatic, negative impact on the areas that they invade. This can be observed in the harm that they cause to the environment and their impact on the health of humans and other animals. Arguably, invasive species cause the most damage by contributing to the loss of other species’ habitats. Many of the endangered plant and animal species found in the United States are in this position, in part, because of the impact of invasive species on their habitat…

Having to two quadrats would not only move things along quicker but it would also keep everyone engaged. Some errors that may have taken place are human errors. The Daubenmire methods is based sorely off of the judgement of the people who are using it. Therefore, it would be safe to say that not all of the observation were 100% accurate. Another thing that may have affected the data is the time of…

Buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) Buckthorn is a large shrub or a small tree which may grow six meter in heights. Its is found in many light shaded areas also is tolerant , of many soil types from well drained sand to clay. Leaf may be a dull green / dark green color with a light green on the other side of the leaf.

eighteen hundreds. The Conservation Movement, which occurred from eighteen-fifty to nineteen-twenty, was to act as an effort to protect America's wildlife, wildlands, and natural resources. However, conservation then and now has been, mostly, for humans. In fact, the conservation movement was created when cities in America became overcrowded after mass industrialization. Conservation was not originally for the benefit of the ecosystems, and the precious natural resources we had, but an…

In the article “Sustainability outside the box” the author Hallie Forcinio describes an industrial manufacturing transformation occurring within the biotechnology and consumer packaged goods industries. These industries have stepped up corporate sustainability efforts through the use of improved technological processes and methods of manufacturing. Corporations within these industries are reducing their carbon footprints with smarter packaging designs and development, reducing greenhouse gas…

their natural habit and attempting to keep a rough estimate of the population. There are three other common ways people have attempted to control invasive species one of them being by educating themselves and doing outreach so we can beware of their behavioral patterns, areas they like to invade and common factors between these areas, and knowing what to do if we come in contact or become aware of the location of an invasive species. In addition, some people try to control invasive species by…

The authors – Paul Kingsnorth and Dougald Hine made this appeal the creative artists, who have similar feelings and passion to protect the cause of environment led to join the artistic movement against the 21st century ‘consumer-capitalism’ led ecocide (Manifesto, 2009, p. 9). They observe, present human civilization and its leaders and…

There has been an in-depth discussion about the state of the human population, mostly the effect of the Earth's carrying capacity has upon the global population. The carrying capacity of an environment is the maximum population size that can be supported by the resources available in the environment. Once an environment has reached this maximum capacity in regards to the resources, the population growth oscillates around the environment's carrying capacity. Density-dependent regulations mostly…
