From penguins to iguanas, to sea lions, there are quite a mix of animals living there. One can wonder how such a variety are able to live together. However, perhaps the native creatures of these islands that I found most fascinating are the numerous birds. Despite its warm location, it still offers pleasant climate and thriving environment that is appealing to birds. Specifically this is found attractive to Galapagos penguins and flamingos.
Each petal is a mile in length from the center. There’s also a two-mile long “stem” shaped peninsula that branches off from the bottom of the island that people fish off of. C. I picked this area because it’s so close to Greece making trade accessible. Winters are warm but rainy. Drought is very rare, so crops are almost always successful.
Although they actually differ from other flying birds, as they have a much heavier skeleton that helps them be good swimmers. According to Stephan Anieter in his article “Humans A Threat To Penguin Life”, he infers that penguins evolved right after the dinosaurs extinction. Anieter also mentions that penguins have mostly evolved in areas where humans don’t live. Currently large penguin populations are found in south of the equator, near islands. Sea World is an online organization whose mission is to educate and create awareness to scholars, parents, and children about the relationships between humans and the environment, where they mention that penguins mostly live in areas that are free of land predators due to their inability to fly( Sea World).
The choices for career and livelihood on the island are limited to fishing, coal mining, farming and logging. The geography of the island creates a great opportunity for a career in fishing as well as both spiritual and psychological inspiration. “Our land had always been beside the sea and we had always gone toward it to find newness and the extraordinary.” Despite this profitable
The plant species throughout the forest is rather extensive for the small area, finding it was an exceptional environment to investigate symbiotic relationships for our assignment. This forest has a small variety of wildlife consisting of small rodents, wallabies, and the bush turkey. The small creek ‘Priors creek’ provided a potential place to learn the study of the effects the water has on the nearby bush land or water organisms. A water type of investigation appeared to be the most observable type as the creek seemed as if it had the furthermost activity nearby. The investigation is to examine symbiotic relationships between algae and the abiotic factor in relation to water PH levels.
Problems that have been linked to tourism causing disturbances with the wildlife include things like the fact that the summer tourist season coincides with peak wildlife breeding periods, that the land-based installations and wildlife are clustered on the few ice-free locations on the continent, and that the over-flying by light planes and helicopters is causing stress to breeding colonies of penguins and other birds. On the other hand, because the Antarctic tourism is a well-run industry, people act responsibly and so when the tourists actually visit the wildlife (i.e breeding colonies of penguins/seals etc.) they cause virtually no disturbance or stress to the animals themselves. Because the tourists tend to follow the guidelines set by the Antarctic Treaty there is also little intentional damage caused to the environment as a result of their presence, with little damage to vegetation and no litter attributed to them at all; unfortunately, tourists have a habit of going to see cultural heritage sites like early exploration bases, which causes pressure upon them, and with no actual legal structure in Antarctica a behavioural code such as the one aforementioned would be very hard to actually enforce. Whilst tourism does little
The boat ride ensures privacy and the beauty of the surrounding scenery on the lake. Another delightful activity you and your date could complete is going to the Central Park Zoo. Here, just a few yards from 5th Avenue you’ll find over 130 different species ranging from giant Polar Bears to the Brazilian black tarantula. A walk around the Zoo’s five plus acres will take you through a variety of habitats, all carefully designed to recreate the natural environment of the animals they house. Even if you’re not a big nature fan, the voyage to get to Central Park is quite excellent as well.
God made man in charge of animals and to rule over them, “rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every other living creature that moves on the ground” Many Christians do not have an issue with eating animals, as they believe that god made animals for humans to eat. Similarly, they believe that humans have a higher value than animals because of their unique relationship with god and the souls they have that no other species of animal has. This is why animals should be used instead of humans. Humans are superior to animals and animals only have value as they are useful to humans, in this respect, using animals is a worthy cause if it is saving the humans life. AGAINST: On the
Pictured to the right and the most popular of the endemic species, the world-renowned Galapagos Giant Tortoise can weigh as much as 250 kilograms; this excessive size is possible because no natural predators to the Giant Tortoises inhabit the Galapagos Islands and have allowed the Giant Tortoises to continue growing larger with each passing generation (Galapagos Conservation Trust, 2008). The Giant Tortoises were not always predator free. In the early 1600s, after arriving on the islands to restock their water supply and repair their boats “before setting off to attack the Spanish colonies on the South American mainland” buccaneers captured the giant tortoises and kept them on their ships to eat during their journey (Galapagos Conservation Trust, 2008).
Every year, between 18,000 and 55,000 species become extinct. The cause: human activities.” he said ’. [2] Why conserve species: [Fig2] [Fig2] There are many advantages in conserving species not only the fact that we benefit from the diversity of animals and plants, as majority of our plants such as crops. Domestic animals are bred from wild relatives and can importantly benefit from the immense, scarcely tapped wild gene pools. Moreover important requirements such as medicine, ‘as well as sources of energy, fibres and structural materials, come from a few exploited species ’ [3] that have been discovered.
