Human extinction

The Extinction of Cheetahs As of 2016, there are only 7,100 Cheetahs remaining in the Wild (Varma). This number is a 90% decline from the last century (Varma). Not only does this make these animals endangered, but it also makes them dangerously close to extinction. Predators like cheetahs are vital in a healthy ecosystem. Despite their importance, people in the last century have been very reckless and harmful to these animals that have caused a big plummet in their population. The three main…

changed, new species came and went, or humans impacted them. There is controversy whether extinct animals should be left extinct, or if people should intervene and bring them back. With modern technology, it would be possible to clone an extinct or endangered animal using genetic material from the cells of the animal, even after being dead for years. The real question is, should we? With an ever-changing…

When an animal is being threatened into extinction shouldn’t it be a good thing that we are putting them in a protected environment till they grow in population again? Are there any other ways to help the animals? Animals are getting hunted and some are getting to the point of extinction, to try and help the situation we put them in zoos or in nature parks till they regain their population. While most people see this as a good thing some still think that we should leave them in their natural…

“Critically Endangered,” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (“IUCN”) with supporting evidence suggesting that Chinese pangolins have been heavily exploited for international trade over the last twenty-one years. The main cause for extinction of pangolins is rooted in the Chinese culture. Chinese medicine, historically, is thought to be the ultimate “fix” to all physical and spiritual ailments, though there is little supporting scientific evidence in favor of Chinese medicine…

Deforestation is Linked to Tiger’s Heading Towards Extinction We have all heard about the beauty of a rain forest and the majestic animals that hide in the shadows, perched in monstrous trees are chirping colorful birds, while basking in the sunlight. The rain forest holds many homes to beautiful and almost forgotten animals such as Tiger’s who are on a brink of extinction. Also, the beautiful trees are producing clean air for everything to live healthier because they are part of carbon…

a species is said to be “a group of interbreeding natural populations that are reproductively isolated from other such groups (Ridley)”. This quotation defines the biological species concept that is a largely accepted definition of a species. The human population is increasingly becoming a reckless civilization with no regard for the actions we follow therefore the concept of a species becoming extinct isn’t an alien notion. The question that has heightened much debate in recent years is does it…

cosmetic companies should find other alternatives, humans also have different body function then animals, and experiments can lead to animal extinction. First of all, there are many alternative that cosmetic companies can use. One of them is the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability. This alternative uses cornea tissues in place of live rabbits. Also, Human cells and tissue culture have helped advance the studies in human disease. Epidermis is a human cell culture that has replaced animals in…

fifty years, with many of the animals we know and love gradually disappearing. Estimates of extinction could reach up to 29%, depending upon the area and the biome the animal resides in. (Thomas et al. 146). When a particular area is not suitable for an animal’s habitat anymore, they often will migrate to an area that is more accommodating. In Lee Hannah’s book titled Saving a Million Species: Extinction Risk from Climate Change, he informs the public, “In general, it is clear that migration…

if our world was like the world in the movie Jurassic Park, where de extinction is reality. Although we do not have the ability to bring the ancient dinosaurs back, we can bring back recently extinct species using their preserved and complete DNA. While some may want to bring extinct animals back, they do not acknowledge what could go wrong, like the catastrophe that occurred in the movie, Jurassic Park. Although de extinction would be cool to see, we should not bring extinct animals back to…
