The cheetah has suffered from inbreeding, high infant mortality, loss of habitat, a reduction in its prey base, conflicts with livestock farming, and a reduced ability to survive in parks and reserves due to the presence of larger predators. 5. On what continent did the cheetah originate and how long ago? Through the dating of fossil remains, it appears that the cheetah originated in the United States of America in the present-day states of Nevada, Texas, and Wyoming. 6.
Factory farms in the United States are growing at a very strong rate. In these factory farms the workers do not take the animals lives into consideration. They do not give the animals proper living environments and they all die in a very painful death. The government must put new laws into effect so that the animal abuse stops. Most of the United States’ meat, eggs, and milk come from Factory Farms or concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs).
Without animals for testing, where would our lives be going? Maybe, we will have a lot more diseases. First of all, the author claims that we humans have been killing animals for survival and the progress depends on our ability to kill animals. We eat them when we need food and we use them for testing to find new medicine. I found the story very difficult to support, mainly because of the way he stereotyped animal rights.
During these journeys, many polar bears either drown or get lost. Scientists predict that if the movement of sea ice continues, many bears will drift off to an unsuitable habitat, making it impossible for them to return or survive. Polar bears are already suffering the horrible effects of global warming: bears are drowning, birth rates are falling, and fewer cubs are surviving. If global warming continues polar bears could become extinct by the end of this century (Polar bear SOS). Global warming is the result of greenhouse gases.
Her topic sentence is: “many outfitters will lose revenue from the cancellation of the spring bear hunt.” Yet, her conclusion is: “Groups opposing the spring bear hunt cancellation have also claimed that it infringes on the recreational rights of hunters, and that it has caused in increase in the number of nuisance bears. (38)” The concluding sentence starts a new topic itself and it digresses from the original topic sentence. The essay’s unorganized structure is
Indiana Bats are a rare species and is listed on the Ohio state and federal endangered list. They were placed on the federal list in 1967 due to people disturbing hibernating bats in caves and the killing large numbers of bat. Also the commercialization of caves, loss of summer habitat, pesticides, and the disease white-nose syndrome (US fish and wildlife service, 2013). Some animals cannot adapt to change because of that they slowly die away as to their habitat humans gets smaller and more people mess around the caves. The extinction of animals will cause more of what they eat this can affect humans by more humans being bite by mosquitoes.
Environmental health Unit 38 P1 Explain how human activity can damages the environment For years now we have been warned about human activity destroying our planet and environment. Some of the things that humans are affecting are Climate Change, Depletion of Ozone Layer, Pollution, Deforestation and Extinction of Species. Overcrowding, urbanisation and population growth Overcrowding can affect our planet more than some people think, Overcrowding means more people this means we use more natural resources this means the earth in the end isn’t going to have enough resources to support the growing population. Remember every person on the planet takes up space which could be used for farmland, and forests. People excrete wastes and litter that flow into water systems, and animal habitats, this is slowly polluting water and killing wildlife.
According to Everglades.org, they’ve “contributed to nearly 70 percent of extinctions in the United States” and are the “primary cause of species endangerment.” The water itself is a major cause of decline to the area, firstly because of poor water management leading to water levels being too low or too high at the wrong times has caused a decline in many species. Secondly, poor water quality has had devastating consequences. The pollution and an abundance of toxins and nutrients has helped to kill off many living things in the
This means that there is a call for more farmland and cattle fields, resulting in the loss of more forests. Anytime there is a need for more land, trees will be cut down to make room. Businesses that want to expand and create new buildings are another reason deforestation is being overlooked. All of these causes of deforestation affect the environment greatly. With so many trees being cut down for the growing population, many different types of species that live in the forests are being killed or forced to move from their homes.
Companies have deposited their waste in the lake, which has caused the lake to be shut down because humans are getting sick and even dying from the polluted waters. Viruses, pathogens, chemicals and toxins are all part of this pollution, which affects recreation, jobs, and habitats of animals. Fishermen have not spent money fishing for sport due to the drastic reduction of the salmon population at Lake Huron. Recreational hours at the lake have also seen a drastic decrease. This devastation affects a majority of the U.S. being one of our largest sources of fresh water, and will only continue to deplete, as companies carelessly dump their waste into the lake.
