The changes in species have been explored by many scientists, but Charles Darwin was the first to support his findings on the existence of evolution with abundant evidence. Darwin later came to develop the theory of evolution after his voyage on the HMS Beagle to South America in 1831 for five years. Darwin was an English geologist and naturalist who proposed that organisms have had physical and behavioral changes over time to increase reproductive success and to better adapt to the environment.…

The Endangered Species Act, like many of the conservation acts, was put in place because people noticed something needed to be done. Although this act is very complex and can be confusing, it has been successful. Nonetheless, since many species are still listed or waiting to be assessed people criticize the act’s effectiveness. In 1966, congress passed the Endangered Species Preservation Act. This listed native animals as endangered and gave limited protection. The act was amended in 1969 to…

or different human-caused factors (Endangered Species Act). Subspecies and clear population segments are given protection if it is proven that the organisms are crucial to an ecosystem (Matsumoto). The law requires that the listing of a species is based solely on biological status. It is illegal to list or delist an organism when there is insufficient scientific data to support the conclusion. It usually takes less than a year to add or remove a species from one of the lists. During an…

controlled environments because the animals living in them learn to live with extra care that won’t always be available to them, the safekeeping of animals in controlled environments negatively interferes with the food chain and doesn’t allow for survival of the fittest, and, in general, controlled environments disturb an animal’s wild, natural, and healthy way of living. First of all, no animals should be kept in controlled environments because the…

For example, if one little species that had no purpose on earth were to be endangered, they would find a way to solve and save the species from extinction.

It aims to prevent the international trade of animal products which threaten survival of animals. In the CITES, the Great White Shark is categorized in Appendix II. The species in…

For instance, the way in which mussels help purify water affects humans and how trees provide oxygen for living species. The variety of life within our planet can be described as biodiversity. Biodiversity can be described as an umbrella term that elucidates the variety and variability of nature. It encompasses three basic levels of organisation in living systems: the genetic, species, and ecosystem levels (Admin). However, within this paper, biodiversity will be explained on a much smaller…
