Threatened species

Scientific name: Acrocephalus Aequinoctialis This is an endangered species. Ecological role: Maintains prey/predator population. Helps maintain the spread of a species of weed by dispersing certain seeds as well as feasting on the plant. In danger due to threat from predatorial rat (rattus spp.) and cat species (Felis catus), hunting by children and adults on the island, loss of trees (trumpet tree) that provide food and habitat loss due to sudden and ill-planned immigration. Proposed…

last organism of a certain species; thus ending those organisms altogether. However, since most species are globally spread out this is something that takes careful consideration of every fact such as ‘is there a possibility the organism may have has a chance of survival somewhere unexpected?’(Hawking, 2012) Biologists have been trying conservation methods in order to solve this quickly arising problem. “Over the last 400 years, 484 animal species and 654 plant species have become extinct.” (The…

Some common traits between them is their slender bodies, they all feed on insects, and they all have fluffy tails. Narrow Striped Mongoose: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Family: Eupleridae Genus: Mungotictis Species: Mungotictis Decemileata The Narrow Striped Mongoose lives in South Western Madagascar. They only have about 500 square kilometers in habitat area. It is primarily an insectivore. It is eaten by dogs, humans, and cat-like fossa. The Narrow…

include dams, natural disasters, and endangered species. Dams were found to have a major influence on our water impact, leading to major issues in our economy. In contrast to dams natural disasters are more of a natural process that bring on different types of environmental risks. While dams mainly effect our water impact, natural disasters are one of the main sources of people losing their homes, property, and not to mention their lives. Endangered species were also found to be a major…

educate the public, and help save animals in bad conditions. Zoos benefit the lives of animals and their population. Zoos help prevent extinction of species. Earth is currently in a global extinction crisis. Almost one fourth of all known mammals are threatened with extinction. The percentage is even higher for invertebrates, over a third threatened. Animals are facing extinction on a massive scale, and the odds are against them. Zoos participate in captive breeding programs. When animals have…

The Tapir is a mammal that is in the Order Perissodactyla within the Genus Tapiroidea, where there are four known species, which they are Mountain Tapir, Malayan Tapir, Lowland Tapir, and…

the public, it is very plausible to cut the high demands for products that threatened many endangered species such as the sun bear, a small forest-dwelling bear of southeastern Asia that has short glossy black fur with a lighter muzzle and often an orange or white breast mark (Merriam Webster), often killed for its…

are viewed to be one of the charismatic, interesting and of cultural significant animals in the world. They also the ones that need our protection to ensure their survival in the wild. Standing from one point of view, the pandas are an endangered species which once desperately needed funds and resources to save themselves from the brink of extinction. They also helped to raise the awareness of animal conservation worldwide. Opposing this viewpoint, some see the pandas as furry black-and-white…

Captive breeding and reintroduction programs are important tools for the establishment of threatened animal populations, but experimental approaches require to compare the outcomes of these programs that will increase post-release survival. The Kaiser’s Mountain Newt, Neurergus kaiseri is listed as a vulnerable by IUCN criteria, to aid about the ecology and the conservation of this species, we carried out a trial release of 20 newts reared in captivity on 4 occasions during the spring and summer…

The Differences Between Endangered and Vulnerable Species. (African vs Asian Elephant) The asian elephant, an endangered animal has lost their habitat, have been treated with disrespect and fragmented. They have also been driven by large human population. As a result of coming near farmers lands, they are captured and sometimes killed. However, there are conservation priorities for the Asian Elephant and those include maintaining clean habitats and securing their corridors. On the other hand,…
