Overgrazing

In Iona Creek Reserve, weeds were located around the grassy area. This is a major issue, not just because weeds are an invasive and fast growing species, but also because there are endangered plants located on the site. The Blue Gum High Forest is the main endangered species on the site. This forest sheltered the Sydney region before European settlement, and is now limited to small bushland along a small range of suburbs in Sydney. The Blue Gum Forest is one of six main indigenous communities of…

is a drought they cannot irrigate leading to a shortage of food. Subsistence farmers are also reliant on graze land for their livestock and for graze land to be available it depends on rainfall. Also stated in the Via Afrika textbook is that “Overgrazing during drought years can contribute to desertification which mainly is when places become more arid”.

The prominent desertification issue is a result of years of environmental degradation from overgrazing livestock such as cattle and other herding animals. Desertification depletes nutrients in soil and therefore makes the crops less nutritious. 80.7% of Niger’s population is rural (CIA) who depend on agriculture to meet their families’ daily needs…

Professing to believe in the "inexhaustible resources of the oceans," they bring species after species of fish and whales closer to extinction.”.

The eastern settlement was by far the…

Agriculture industries can properly manage their operations to prevent overgrazing of pastures, particularly near stream banks, storing and apply manure away from water bodies, and minimize use of fertilizers and pesticides (EPA, 2003). Logging operations should undertake efforts to avoid erosion and minimize stream crossings…
