The close proximity to land is a major threat to the harp seals, because they are closer to both natural predators and human commercial hunters. In efforts to protect the seals the Canadian Government has reconsidered laws currently placed on commercial hunting. Gabel’s article suggests the complete shutdown of commercial hunting. This change would have a major impact on the lively hood of commercial hunters. In order to counter balance the extinction of the harp seal pelt
This means that the survival of this species would be threatened. Also, one more con of this mine is that it would have a huge effect on the native people. Their whole culture is based off this fish and wildlife due to their consumption of these animals, and any accident could end this culture along
Purpose: To Inform Specific Purpose: The audience should understand why the Clarence J Brown Reservoir is a good thing but it also has its bad. Central Idea: Through all the research I have learned that even though the reservoir is a good place there could be hidden dangers. Introduction 1} Flood control, camping, fishing, hunting, swimming, and wildlife reserve all of these things are things you think of when you here Clarence J Brown Reservoir. 2} After reading numerous reports from the State Parks Natural Resources I realize there are hidden dangers such as lead, mercury, and ecolie. 3} Internal Review A} There are several
Purpose The purpose of this lab is to determine how an invasive species, in this case, the zebra and quagga mussel can have an affect on other species in the same habitat and how this can affect the ecosystem. Introduction A population explosion is caused when there is minimal environmental resistance. Minimal resistance can be caused by a decline in predator population, or by introducing an evasive species. Invasive species can experience a population explosion because they are not controlled right away by the normal environmental restraints of the ecosystem. Zebra and quagga mussels were introduced into the Great Lakes and caused hardship on the ecosystem and in turn partly caused pollution causing effects (My Unique Student Experience,
Water is considered an essential element for the human being, animals, plants and all other creatures on the earth. Shortage of water resulted through various reasons that can be outlined as follows: Firstly, water passing from its sources across several borders supplying different nations through all over the planet and the shortage sometimes could be due to hard access caused by wars. Secondly, the population increase and water need too which cause shortage of water as the available natural source is not enough.Thirdly , the abuse of pure water by irresponsible personnel when being used in irrigation and for industrial use.This paper will highlight some important reasons for water shortage and particularly concentrate on the results of upgrading water securingalternate resources. One of the main reasons for water shortage is overpopulation. The high increase of population led to the need of expansion of the existing facilities and building, development of new shelters and infrastructure facilities to accommodate the expected of huge number of population, this fact consume a high percentage of the available water in the world.
Oklahoma’s Baggage Have you ever really thought about how harmful some of the everyday things you do could be, potentially to the environment in a substantial way? Plastic bags are one of those problems we face in our world today. Most people bring plastic bags when coming back from a grocery store or a quick trip to the gas station. Most of these bags end up in the trash in one way or another after minimal use. These bags not only affect us humans in a negative way but also are a significant harm to many animal and our mother Earth.
On the positive side the dam is a renewable energy source but environmentally speaking it has done more damage than good. The construction of the TGD has had a huge negative impact on the environment all along the river. The controlled water flow has caused a decrease in water quality and changed the niche of many wild life species. Fish can’t simply swim up and downstream freely anymore which can affect their diet and matting patterns. The water behind the reservoir has destabilized some of the steep hills on the edges of the water causing landslides that can be very dangerous.
Another threat as previously mentioned is from humankind. Activities such as hunting are escalating the extinction of birds because they are used as target
Long-tailed macaques are considered as pest animal in the region. As a result of increased human population and deforestation to give way for human development, long-tailed macaques can be found scattered in groups at various places in human population such as in towns, temples, tourist lodges and roadsides, thus sharing the same habitat and food with humans. High level of interactions between human and long-tailed macaques in the same habituation leads to the conflict between the two primates, resulting in various ecological and safety problems among humans. Due to invasions of human in the previously was M. fascicularis habitat, agricultural
How can we prioritise species for conservation? Species becoming extinct: Species are facing various problems key to their survival such as destruction of animal habitats, damage to the natural environment of living things, for example trees are cut down to build homes, , Oil spills, acid rain and water pollution also add to the destruction of habitats. Moreover another cause for extinction is when animals are over-hunted for their meat, fur and other valuable parts. Another cause could be ‘when animals or plants arrive into a new habitat from a foreign place they sometimes introduce diseases that the native species can't fight. These "exotic" species can also prey on the native species’.
