Endangered Species Essay

"Only about 15% of the known species in the United States have been studied in sufficient detail to determine whether or not they are imperiled" (Wilcove). As little as "16,000 species," Craig Kasnoff wrote, "are on the endangered species list" (Kasnoff). Some of these are in the United States, where we live. It seems as though people do not feel it is their problem to deal with, when most definitely it is. Human beings in the world are not doing enough for endangered plants and animals because they

As the population of us humans grow, more and more environmental problems are developing such as global warming, pollution, and animal extinction. Unfortunately, endangered species are threatened by human population as we grow and consume resources at compulsive rate, and endangered species are most likely to go extinct if we do not take action. From animals, we tend to consume our sources of protein which means killing animals in order for ourselves to survive. For example, the fish provides 15

Endangered Species A place without life is hardly even a place at all. The waves would flow over the oceans rocks, the sun would shine on the green leaves without prevail. The world builds with pollution, plants expand, and food virtually ends. In an environment, lacking the fundamentals of life, the existence of humans would experience complications of survival and health. The living cells of species provide a world of opportunity, health, and life. Over the last one hundred years, the population

Is the Endangered Species Act Effective? Did people ever see many bald eagles when they were young? There is a disagreement about whether or not the endangered species act is effective at protecting species from extinction. There are some people that argue that they aren't doing good at protecting the many species. The endangered species act is helping protect many of the bald eagle population from becoming extinct. There are at least three reasons that they are doing good at protecting bald eagles

Endangered Species Act When people hear the word extinction, most think of the unfortunate faith of a leopard, elephant, or bird. But the sad truth is that they are a small portion of the extinction crisis. According to WWF, the rate of species extinction “1,000 times higher than the natural extinction rate” (Para. 2) and humans are part of the cause. To solve such problem, the United States passed a law known as the endangered species act (ESA) in 1973 under the Nixon administration. The purpose

The Endangered Species Act Introduction: Long-term survival of a species depends on its ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions (Murphy, 1994). Genetic diversity within a species, which has taken 3.5 billion years to evolve, makes adaptations to these changing environments possible. Unfortunately, the rate of extinction of genetically diverse organisms is rapidly increasing, thus reducing this needed biodiversity, largely due to the human impacts of development and expansion.

continents has been something that humans have lived with for centuries, but what if, one day, that all disappeared? Species have existed and gone extinct throughout history, and many people will argue that it’s ‘natural selection’ or ‘survival of the fittest’. If species are naturally going extinct, why should people care? Millions of years before humans even existed, extinction of species was linked to environmental change. Environmental change is still the primary cause of the extinction of animals

Australia itself. The counts of species have been obtained from four primary databases (the Australian Faunal Directory, Codes for Australian Aquatic Biota, Online Zoological Collections of Australian Museums, and the Australian node of the Ocean Biogeographic Information System), but even these are an underestimate of described species. In addition, some partially completed databases for particular taxonomic groups, and specialized databases (for introduced and threatened species) have been used. Experts

Human effects and involvement on endangered and extinct species Tiffany Tierson Abstract This paper was constructed to give an overview of the vast majority of species that are disappearing and have disappeared from the earth. With informative knowledge and accurate numbers the reader was introduced to the different ways that animals are becoming extinct, deforestation, overpopulation, economic prosperity, population growth, urban environment, global perspective and science and ethics. Each

Gabreille Montez Mr. Shelley ENGL 102 28 September 2013 Technology taking over job opportunity In “Is Your Job an Endangered Species?” Andy Kessler effectively organizes his work by using different grouping skills. He introduces his idea by grabbing the attention of his audience; however, his informal tone isolates his audience. Kessler writes to persuade the reader on his belief that the advancement in technology is negatively impacting the job industry by replacing thousands
