Human extinction

For that it is a major component of the sustainability of Earth and the human race. It provides us with our essential day-to-day needs such as coffee. {Coffee is derived from the coffee plant, and is crucial to most humans on the planet to get their morning jolt of energy, which helps keep productivity high. Without coffee people probably wouldn’t even get out of bed let alone go to work. Another vital material for humans that is acquired from plants is medicine. An example would be Turkey…

variety of life existing on it and the services and goods it provides. The biological diversity within the planet such as the relationship between each specie all play a significant role. For instance, the way in which mussels help purify water affects humans and how trees provide oxygen for living species. The variety of life within our planet can be described as biodiversity. Biodiversity can be described as an umbrella term that elucidates the variety and variability of nature. It encompasses…

Many animals go extinct because their environments change; others experience extinction from sickness. However, some animals are unfortunate enough to be hunted to extinction by humans. These 10 animals no longer exist thanks to us, the humans. Here, we remember them below. Number Ten: Tasmanian Tiger. Extinct since 1936, the Tasmanian tiger was a threat to farmers because it would hunt their sheep, so to fight it, farmers began hunting it. It was trapped and poisoned for government bounties…

generation of the Human Race will never see the breathtaking sight of the Passenger Pigeon. This new arrival of humans can blame their ancestors for the eradication of the majestic, deep amber bellied, Passenger Pigeon. Over the years, human activity has harmed the natural world, driving some species to near extinction, to the point of helplessness. But even the people that brought destruction and tragedy upon these animals can save them from the neverending darkness of the grave. The human race…

The Anthropocene Extinction refers to the nature of human effects on the environment causing what scientists are calling the sixth mass extinction. The collision between civilization and the planet’s ecosystem has resulted in the rapid loss of biodiversity and current extinction crisis (Wake and Vredenburg 2008). The socio-environmental issue of how human behaviors impact biodiversity is addressed in the documentary Racing Extinction which I’ve chosen to analyze (Racing Extinction 2015). The…

How can animals facing extinction be helped using modern science? Identification and description of the problem Extinction is referred to as the death of the last organism of a certain species; thus ending those organisms altogether. However, since most species are globally spread out this is something that takes careful consideration of every fact such as ‘is there a possibility the organism may have has a chance of survival somewhere unexpected?’(Hawking, 2012) Biologists have been trying…

help of its DNA and its close relative, the elephant. The possibilities with the perfection of his work are endless. The world will not be ready for his great feat. This is the very near future. This is the cloning of extinct animals. This is de-extinction. The idea of bringing back extinct animals has always been an idea of wonder to the world. With films like Jurassic Park showing the revival of the extinct dinosaur species brought back by cloning, the idea is not new, but also not something…

brother gave me an idea. He brought up the concept of de-extinction, or bringing back animals from the dead, and human cloning. These ideologies, which used to be nothing more than the work of science…

Title Animal extinction has reached an all time high in recent years. Scientist believes that animal extinction as “one of the biggest environmental threats to the planet.”() Although there are many accusations of what this cause may be, there is an understanding that human interaction is a key factor when it comes to the extinction of animals. Human’s interactions have increased over the past few decades both good and bad. This threat has evolved from a local to a global scale. Scientists have…
