Environmental Damage, destroy the environment around us. Climate change kills the crops, animals and people. Hostile Neighbors, forces death and…

Up until now it has been believed that only one species of giraffe existed. Due to recent studies about the genetic makeup of giraffes across the wild in Africa, four different types giraffe have been discovered. Scientists from Senckenberg and the Giraffe Conservation Foundation are to thank for the discovery that leads to an optimistic view on the endangered species' chance of survival. This article is going to cover the recent evolution of information about giraffes and what the new…

Tree(s) of Life The folk hero Johnny Appleseed is known for planting hundreds of trees across the North American frontier, but few know that this story is more fact than fiction. His real name was John Chapman, and for forty years he traveled from Philadelphia to Ohio, scavenging apple seeds from cider mills which he would eventually plant in scattered locations across the country (Means 82). Thanks to certain homestead acts which considered his trees to be land stakes, it is estimated Chapman…

Brum-brum-brum-brum-brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! That is the sound of a chainsaw destroying animal and plant life after the collapse of a towering kapok tree in the Amazon. The Amazon rainforest is a massive ecosystem that scientists are still trying to uncover today. Deforestation is widespread across the world's forests. Deforestation started in the Mesolithic Period some 15,000 years ago when trees were cleared for livestock (Britannica). Deforestation has been an ongoing debate for a number of…

Chico Mendes dedicated his life to saving many rainforest jungles in Brazil that are barely standing today. Mendes was initially a Brazilian rubber tapper, who organized a union of seringueiros, or rubber tree tappers in the National Council of Rubber Tappers to protest the cutting of the trees by the cattle ranchers. Chico Mendes demonstrated the positive impact one man can have on the environment, and proved how detrimental man can be in nature. Chico Mendes Filho was born on December 15,…

ocean biome and the rainforest biome are very much alike, but also very different. The two biomes are compared by the different climates, the animals that live there, and the different adaptations the animals and plants must adapt to be able to survive. Many characteristics in these two biomes are immensely different, but selected features are similar in these two biomes. Would you rather live at the bottom of the ocean (if it was possible) or live in the middle of the rainforest? The ocean is…

Three-toed Sloth The Amazon Rainforest is one of the most beautiful places on earth. It also serves as a home to several species of animals. From the 3,000 species of fish to the 428 species of mammals (Hellas 2), each one of them calls the rainforest their home. One species in particular, the Three-toed Sloth, lives in the trees of the rainforest and generally hangs on the vines. They have been known to hardly come down to the rainforest floor. However, there is a major problem that the…
