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
The smaller laws affect us like an ecosystem is affect by the extinction of a small species. The idea people continuously fail to understand is that these somewhat small laws are there to protect from the major laws that can be caused by them if everyone is doing
Dr Carl Meyer from Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology stated that mass levels of shark culling “runs the risk of ecosystem-level cascade effects where a general lack of sharks results in boom or bust in populations of species further down the food chain”. Furthermore when nets are used to trap sharks, often animals such as dolphins, turtles, whales and dugongs become trapped in them. Turtles are one of the most endangered species as a whole and are just innocent bystanders in this war between humans and sharks. We need to be careful of not affecting other animals in this quest to reduce shark numbers in the name of nothing. Sharks can already be caught legally by commercial and recreational fishers so any cull would be largely
This area is one of the densest concentrations of sea birds anywhere in the whole world. Even a small amount of oil can cause death in many of these animals because they can die from ingesting the toxic material, and lose their insulation when they are contaminated with oil. In 2004, two mechanical failures led to the loss
I feel that "extinction" is not something that has to happen, but happens because humans do not take care of the natural world, the way they should. Many extinctions, including birds and other living creatures, can simply be avoided if humanity put it in their best interest to change the way we run our ecosystem, considering how much these beautiful creatures help us maintain this earth. One of the greatest threats a bird endures is habitat loss. Birds from all regions such as forests, wetlands, grasslands, mountains, etc are losing their homes and resulting in their extinction. Another threat as previously mentioned is from humankind.
There would be too much metafishes in the population because the flyhip isn’t there to eat them anymore. Then there wouldn’t be enough resources in the water because the metafishes already used up most of the resources in the water. Mutualism relationship: * Flapenguin and horsefly * The flapenguin helps the horsefly by letting it use it’s body for shelter and the horsefly keeps bugs off of it * This relationship affects the ecosystem by reducing diseases in the flapenguin and giving the horsefly a shelter. The horsefly reduces the diseases in the flapenguin by keeping other bugs off it. The horsefly does that by swinging its tail to prevent the bugs from coming closer.
It is also a problem that does not have many possible solutions, causing it to be the most detrimental to harp seals. Economically the elimination of harp seal hunting will affect the lives of commercial hunters and those who purchase the pelts. This issue is not solely negative as the Canadian Government plans to compensate the hunters with new professional training. Lastly this issue could eventually lead to the extinction of a
In the article “This must never happen again” by Cathy Martin, Coldstream in The Age, published on June 9th 2011, she is telling the reader that only humans are only dominant enough to declare themselves owner of all other animals, which leads them with a huge role of responsibility. Cathy Martin would rather see meat prices go up instead of seeing the animals get hurt and harmed like they did shown on Four Corners. I would have to agree with this because it is wrong in so many ways with was done to the cattle. I would also feel sympathy for the 1200 peoples’ lives and jobs depend on the live export trade but maybe the ones that are to lose their jobs could help form a new authority to oversee the strict new standards relating to the future slaughter of Australian animals. The last argument supported in this issue is the use of the restraining boxes; a restraining box is used to restrain animals and to “stun” them quickly and accurately before slaughter- and in which a ‘stun gun’ is to render the animal unconscious.
When the iceberg was sinking, they thought that planting clambeds at the mainland would alleviate the problem and would provide enough space for everyone. The penguins failed to realize that every event was connected and they were viewing them as independent events. The system continued resisting the penguins’ efforts to change. Bottom line is that the system had a certain number of clams it could produce in order to feed a certain number of animals. When the penguins tried to increase that number, the iceberg started sinking; when they tried to move the clam bed to the mainland,
Pollutants find their way into our air and water while wildlife species diminish and become extinct. As Sir Richard Branson says, “Why [do I] worry about lemurs, sharks, tigers, elephants, and parks when we have so many other issues in the world? [Because] how we treat our world is a reflection of our humanity, our intelligence, our conscience and ultimately, our very survival.” So who is to blame for all this damage? According to Paul Hawken in The Death of Birth, “The biosphere is in decline; industry is the major culprit, because of the way it extracts resources and uses them to make products that sooner or later end up in a landfill. There is only one institution on earth large enough, powerful enough, pervasive enough, and wealthy enough really to change that system and it’s the same institution that’s doing the damage.” The industry that Hawken is referring to is business, and Richard Branson agrees that “business as usual” is failing this planet.
