Species Survival Plan

awareness, maintain facilities and fund units like the anti-poaching team. A similar animal, the Amur Tiger also had a staggeringly low population. In the early 1900’s there was roughly 40 tigers left in the wild, but through conservation efforts the species was able to overcome this and has a current population of roughly 500. What the future holds for the Amur…

1. How can content area teachers plan and design instruction so that students will actively engage in literacy- and subject-related activities? According to Carney and Indrisano (2013), disciplinary literacy is when reading, writing, speaking, and listening are inserted in all classes, including math, science, and social studies. Teachers need to present strategies that will aid students with being successful in their classroom. However, it vital for educators to know and understand what…

options and were able to come up with the plan. I was also constantly calling and emailing my advisor about my class’s availability. I was able to create a plan with my supervisor so I could keep my fulltime job as well as my fulltime school. I had to make some critical decisions through the process. However, having the courage and the ability to communicate with key stakeholders who could help me throughout this process was crucial to come up to a solution and a plan. During the management…

Wildlife Safari is a drive-through zoo that is located in Winston, Oregon. The park was created in 1972 by Frank Hart (History, 2017). Hart’s dream was to create a facility in the Pacific Northwest that would work towards saving rare and endangered species from around the world. The park is 600 acres, allowing around 500 animals to live comfortably on the land (Johnson, 2017). The Park hosts 160,000 guests a year and this number is steadily climbing. It is one of the few places in the world to…

that it is real. Science has proved many parts of the theory right. Charles Darwin, a famous scientist, was one of the first to present this theory. “The theory of evolution by natural selection, first formulated in Darwin's book "On the Origin of Species" in 1859, is the process by which organisms change over time as a result of changes in heritable physical or behavioral traits.” (Lande) Basically, he believes that the earth is millions of years old and that everything living on earth adapted…

In the study of evolution one time in history that is very closely looked at is exactly when humans arose in the world. There are certain characteristics that have to be met in order for something to be considered “human.” The question is when where all of those characteristics met? In these evolutionary studies the Neanderthals and the Denisovans come into conversation. Scientist ask if these organisms could be considered “human?” They try to answer this by studying how they lived, when they…

Biodiversity allows for a more stable ecosystem. With between 10 and 100 million different species on believed to be on Earth there is a great diversity of life forms here, but is it enough, and how long will it take before this number starts plummeting?3 We all are all aware of how terrible species extinction is, and are constantly being told how it is all a human caused problem. It is common for species to go extinct naturally, but at a low rate. The annual background extinction rate is…

Although later they begin to find out, like the previous article, that divergence between these two species was over 500,000 years ago through PCR-amplified mtDNA (Noonan, 2010: 548); language is still a possibility. The research on Neanderthal genome that was studied showed that there is a FOXP2 gene present in Neanderthals that is believed to be the key-defining gene for the evolution of language (Noonan, 2010: 551). However, from my perspective, if the variety in their genome diverged 500,000…

Natural Life Humans are only known to exist upon Earth. From the beginning of time, life has evolved upon our planet. The vast Oceans of our world were only known as one. The lands came to exist among this ocean, further dividing it until there were not one but seven Oceans. It is from these expanses of water that life came to be upon Earth. From the sea, they evolved and thrived upon land. Their lives are dependent upon surviving nature. Their abilities to live within nature upon Earth are…

Now there are several thousands of cellular systems but all of them were generated from one cell and multiplied with variations. Also survival of the fittest implies that the weak cells die out and strong lived on. When plants and human beings have single origin it is very…
