Human extinction

Are killing wild animals from their habitat safe for the environment, extinction, and safety of others? Big game hunting is also a big business for wealthy few, it has become a dreadful and unacceptable sport that was taken too far, from where people have been killed and populations has been unstable. A stable population, safe sports and environment are more imperative than just a trophy of a piece of animal that is kept to represent the success of hunting. Trophy hunting should be tamed before…

evolved after the extinction of the dinosaurs. After their extinction the surviving mammals, birds and reptiles evolved to include some very large animals; this group of megafauna was most widespread during the last Quaternary Period, in the last 2.5 million years. The megafaunas in Australia were very unique; and included giant marsupials such as the Diprotodon, huge flightless birds like the Genyornis, and giant reptiles such us the Varanus or ‘megalania’. About their extinction many theories…

achieve. The idea of bringing extinct species back to life is a poor idea. De-extinction is a waste of time and money because you have to put millions down to start the process and you might not succeed reproducing the animal for a long time. In text 4 it states “Spending millions of dollars trying to de-extinct a few species will not compensate for the thousands of populations and species that have been lost due to human activities, to say nothing of restoring the natural functions of their…

The 6th Mass Extinction? Species of animals and plants go extinct all the time due to their lack of evolutionary ‘fitness’, for example, the giant panda is on the brink of extinction because it can only eat one food, and can only copulate a couple weeks out of the year, but sometimes, It 's not their fault… a mass extinction is “the extinction of a large number of species within a relatively short period of time, as between the Cretaceous and Tertiary Periods when three-quarters of all species…

In Florida panthers are endangered. There is about 100 wild Florida panthers. These panthers are not being killed due to natural causes, it’s due to humans destroying their habitats and our killing. If these panthers go extinct, it will have an irreversible effect on the entire panther species. The fact that Florida Panthers have been extinct since 1973 is stunning. Panthers help us in many ways! Panthers regulate our food chain. If they didn’t regulate our food chain, it would unbalance the…

personal with a koala bear. Unfortunately when you arrive to Australia, you find out that you are no longer able to see the koala bear because it is now extinct. With the rate of extinction today, our favorite animals may be gone within the next century. It may seem like this is a long time away but because of human activity and other contributing factors, the world and the lifespan of species are worsening. If nothing is done to help these animals’ environments, we may no longer be exposed…

Why do we care for endangered species? The Endangered Species Act was made so that our native plants, animals, and fish would not go into extinction. This Act requires that Federal and State agencies provide suitable conditions for endangered and threatened species, not to jeopardize from federal activities but to protect and save our native species from extinction. Throughout history there have been many events to lead up to this policy about the endangered species in the world. In 1901,…

species at risk of extinction and 41,415 species that are threatened. Many species including ourselves are in danger if we do not look for a solution to prevent it. In Andrea Wulf’s The Invention of Nature, she introduces Alexander von Humboldt who was the first scientist to notice climate change. Today, it is a big topic since we can see it occur in front us or on the news such as and are warned by scientists how human activities are causing it and about the Anthropocene extinction that is…

species nearing the point of extinction, and the destruction of countless interlinked ecosystems. As mentioned in the article, Invasive Species, “approximately 42% of Threatened or Endangered species are at risk primarily due to invasive species.” Regarding this, invasive species are revealed to be responsible for eventual human extinction due to their contribution to the removal of biodiversity. Emphasizing the situation, biodiversity is the sole reason behind human survival because the…

biotechnology continues to advance, a matter that interests both genetic and conservation scientists is the de-extinction of species, or the resurrection of lost species. The idea of Jurassic Park, a 1993 American film where genetic scientists created a wildlife park with cloned dinosaurs, is no longer science fiction. It is becoming an increasingly considered possibility, and with the present-day extinction rate of species higher than ever, scientists have commenced to ponder the prospect of…
