In Connecticut, they are found mostly in hayfields. Only three state wildlife management areas have bobolink habitats; they are Topsmead State Forest in Litchfield, Pomfret Audubon in Pomfret, and Storrs. Bobolinks have been shot as agricultural pests in the southern United States, trapped and sold as pets in Argentina, and collected as food in Jamaica. The species is not as abundant as it was several decades ago primarily because of changing land-use practices- especially the decline of meadows…

Wildlife is an important member of the ecosystem, the rise and fall of its population will affect the stability of the ecosystem of its existence. Global Climate Change The vast geographical, has led to far-reaching effects of wildlife severely affected. From polar to equatorial tropics, from the ocean to the inland. Everywhere Display The signs of change, these changes have attracted the attention of many scientists. And its extensive research. Climate and composition in different regions…

careers that would allow me to be outside doing the things that I love. While both Wildlife biologist and Arborists are similar in their environment and education , they differ in the pay. Wildlife biologist and Arborists are very similar jobs they both have the same type of environment which is the outdoors. Most of the work done by an arborist is physically demanding and is mostly done outside(Fehl, Pamela.11 ). A wildlife biologist spend considerable time in the field/outside gathering…

The desire to see and interact with both wild and domesticated animals is a major part of the tourism industry. In 1988, one study estimated, wildlife tourism accounted for 20-40% of international tourism globally. Wildlife tourism is a major part of the overall global tourism industry and it’s a practice that creates attractions all over the world. Wildlife tourism creates millions of jobs, and brings in millions of tourists from around…

This past summer I interned for U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Bethel, Alaska. I participated in the waterfowl ecology and behavioral studies program also known as WEBS. The thing I expected to be doing are observing, handling, banding, and capturing birds. The skills I hoped to learn were teamwork skills, organizational skills, and effective listening skills. This internship is worthwhile because I get experience studying wildlife in the beautiful state of Alaska. I choose to purse this…

a more sustainable and better-equipped equilibrium. With five mass extinctions notched into the earth 's belt it can hardly be denied that evolution and extinction are anything but a necessary, yet dark, way of life. Therefore, what makes modern wildlife extinction so different in comparison to previous times? A dramatic root to the environments imbalance in extinction can be linked back to the influence of man. In modern day humans hold the ability…

Now, thanks to severe winter weather, they're starving - and leaving the park searching for food. The starvation of bison is not an accident of nature but the intended consequence of a disastrous National Park Service policy. Yellowstone's wildlife hubbub began early in this century, when overly zealous protection by park managers allowed elk and bison populations to explode. Each winter, thousands of elk fled the park to be shot by hunters at the boundary at a place known by 1910 as the…

Where the Wild Things Are If someone says they love animals but they pay money to see them in captivity, can they be trusted? Animals all over the world are put into captivity just for the entertainment of others instead of leaving them in their natural habitats so they can continue the circle of life. Putting a wild animal in captivity can cause zoochosis which then leads to serious health issues for it. Wild animals should be left in their natural habitat instead of being put into captivity…

Zoos are a place where animals are kept all day, instead of living in their own natural habitats. Animals are kept in different exhibits, where tourists can come and gawp at them. Some people wonder why zoos even exist when they, in a sense, keep the animals encaged and prevent them from living in their natural habitats. Zoos contain important rare species in their captivity and revolve around human entertainment, rather than the animals. Although zoos can seem like this is all they do, it is…

To Be Named: The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams The title, The Glass Menagerie, is the first “name” that is encountered, and a menagerie is “A collection of wild animals in cages or enclosures, esp. one kept for exhibition, as in a zoo, etc. Also: a place or building in which such a collection is kept.”(OED). By this definition, the characters are like the wild animals as they are trapped together because of financial reasons, family bonds, and because they are stuck in Tom’s memory. By…
