Presence of carnivores helps to maintain the integrity of ecosystems throughout the world (Soulè and Terborgh, 1999). Many carnivores are capable of altering trophic structure and biodiversity through a process known as top-down control (Elmhagen and Rushton, 2007). Through this, carnivores are able to prevent the overabundance of herbivores. If uncontrolled, an explosion in herbivore population density would increase the grazing pressure that would ultimately threat the survival of the…

Similarly to UNEP et al. (2013), in Brendan Moyle’s (2014) article “The Raw and the Carved: Shipping Costs and Ivory Smuggling,” he also shows how African elephant ivory seizures have increased over recent years. For his article, Moyle (2014) collected and used data from UNEP to make a graph showing total seizures of African elephant ivory from 1996 until 2012. His graph also shows the weight of the ivory from the seizures (see figure 3). From Moyle’s graph, one can see that the most ivory…

III. Seafloor and Massive Sulfide Mining Technology Although there will be technological variations in the mining equipment required for each type of mineral deposit, the basic concept and methodology for recovery is similar. In each case, a collector vehicle will make contact with the seafloor and collect the mineral deposits. In the case of SMS, and cobalt crusts, this will require cutting or breaking the mineral deposits from the substrate. The mined materials, combined with seawater, will be…
