Despite this grim outlook, there are many ways in which species are currently being or can be helped. Because so many areas, nearly 99.4% of (or 2450) counties in the United States alone, house at least one species on the endangered species list, there are a lot of actions that can be taken to help protect and prevent the organisms living even as close as the backyard. (United) Simple action, such as decorating windows, could help to protect bird, who cannot see glass. While a seemingly small step, this would help to protect the 11% percent of known bird species that currently hold a position on the endangered species list. (Pellerin) Another way to help would be shutting the faucet off when you brush your teeth and taking shorter showers. Reducing water usage reduces the need for damming and water diversion for commercial usage, which are responsible for the loss of nearly 40 mussel and snail species. (Campbell) On a small scale, these actions have a great impact on those more local species. On the greater scale, however, and especially in terms of the animals everyone discusses, such as big cats, rhinos, and elephants, these small steps seem obsolete in the race to save biodiversity. Its pertinent to remember that “all forms of life, large and small, help maintain the land, water, and air on which our lives depend.” (Mann) In other words, all actions make a big difference when it comes to saving the ecosystems that support human life.
In terms of those larger species,
To be able to properly treat this problem we need to fully understand what we are up against. Purple Loosestrife is a semi-aquatic invasive species that has been observed in all US states except for Florida and all of the Canadian Provinces, it has been detected in a widespread area across Iowa. Purple Loosestrife crowds and outcompetes other plants and clogs waterways, preventing recreational activities An estimated 190,000 hectares of land are affected in North America, costing millions every year. Purple Loosestrife was well established in the US during the 1800s. It was most likely introduced by people who brought it from Europe as an ornamental plant and it has rapidly spread from there.
For to long the world has ignored China's Speciesism and it's repugnant miscynist citizens living inside and outside this vile country
Keeping animals in captivity is an argument over the rights for the animals held captive at seaworld or marine parks around the world. Keeping animals held captive is when large sea animals are captured from the ocean and kept in a small enviroment such as a tank or an aquarium that are used for shows and entertainment living an unnatural life.Seaworld is a marine mammal park that puts animals such as whales and dolphins into serious harm that can help in the killing of the species as whales are in danger of extinction.In this report i have found imformation on the affects of keeping whales and dolphins held captive and how they would adapt back to normal life after captivity if possible,
As a child, many people would often go to the zoo or to the circus and see animals in real life. In circuses, animals would often perform tricks and stunts, dazzling the audience. In the zoo, people would often see animals in their native habitat, or what looks like it. Children were mainly amazed with the animals and were always exited to go see the animals. As the years go by, they start to realize that some of the animals are suffering and are being mistreated, especially in circuses. They see that the animals in zoos are depressed and lonely and the animals in the circuses are chained up. What is worse is that animals in laboratories are often treated very poorly; more poorly than what Americans treat prisoners and refugees. There have been many debates on whether animals should be held in captivity. Some groups believe that animals should not be held in captivity because they have the same capacities as humans. They believe that animals can feel emotion and have a sense of morality. Animals in captivity are deprived of their natural habitat and their instincts. Animals raised in captivity tend to rely more on humans compared to animals raised in the wild. They also believe zookeepers and trainers are putting themselves at risk when taking care of the animals. There have been many incidents including the death of trainers by animals, one highlighted by the movie “Blackfish” by director Gabriela Cowperthwaite. There are others who believe that putting animals in captivity is beneficial for not only the animal, but for humans as well. Humans get more jobs if more animals are put into captivity because there is an increase in the amount of people needed. Another benefit of keeping animals in captivity is that it could help save a species who is endangered and close to going extinct. Another benefit is that it helps increase the amount of food available because some animals are raised for food. Putting animals in captivity wrong unless they are being used for the animal’s benefits.
The federal government is the level of government which governs our nation as a whole. The federal government affects all 50 states, in other words, all Americans. Those in power of the federal government are the branches of the executive (President), legislative (Congress), and judicial systems (Supreme Court). Federal taxes are collected to support federal programs. For example, when congress passed the tax plan a month ago, the decrease in taxes will benefit most Americans. It is important for young people to understand it takes tax dollars for federal programs to operate. For example, Upward Bound Trio is a federal program that provides offerings to high school induvial with low income.
Chimpanzees swing from trees at the Lincoln zoo in Chicago. Cheetahs run and play at the National zoo in D.C. Giant Pandas Eat Pounds and pounds of bamboo at the San Diego zoo. They all have one thing in common. They Are all Endangered of disappearing from their natural habitat, and zoos are trying to protect and save these animals. Zoos across the country are changing these days to do research on animals, help protect endangered, and Educate young viewers.
Did you know over 50,000 species become extinct each year, that’s five to six each hour. Endangered species are in serious trouble and it is a major problem all around the world. They are dying quicker than people think and they need help and recognition. Endangered animals need to be helped soon or they will become extinct.
to suffering. The slow torturous suffering of being locked up all day as people pass
The natural selection process leaves the so called “unfit” to die, but is it possible to have an entire species be “unfit”? Well, yes it is possible because it has happened before but it leaves us asking how that happened. It can happen because of extreme environmental changes or even a natural disaster, but they can also all be killed off by humans or their predators. We are able to save species from extinction in many different ways. One way to save species from extinction is sanctuaries. These sanctuaries can have a few animals from an endangered species in case that extinction does happen, these animals in the sanctuaries can reproduce and save the species. Another approach to saving animals from extinction is protecting and rebuilding
In 2015, a man by the name of Terry Thompson opened the cage door then killed himself. 56 exotic animals escaped. This is when Ohio decided that you can only own certain exotic animals. When my mom was a kid she lived down the street from a guy named Kenny Hetrick. He owned several huge exotic animals. Hetrick's animals got taken away by the state of Ohio because of Thompson. If people treat the animals right, then why can’t we keep them as pets? I mean if we can take care of dogs and cats then why not lions and tigers? People that show enough responsibility should be eligible to own any exotic animal as a pet.
“God loved the birds and invented trees. Man loved the birds and invented cages.” ~Jacques Deval. Seeing the animals, their hopeless voice, their bodies being pushed to limit until the end. Animal Rights are when people believe that animals should have the rights to live free from being hunted, medical research, and from being eaten. Animals need this right because many people mistreat animals.
Biodiversity exists in every type of environment. Our existence, as humans, depends greatly on these environments, whether it be for food, materials, or energy. Thus, the conservation of this biodiversity is crucial in sustaining life on Earth. Currently in Australia, the risk of extinction is very real for thousands of species. This is not only detrimental to the actual threatened species, but also for all of the other species in the ecosystem that depend on it. Australia’s biodiversity is constantly being threatened by habitat loss, unsustainable practices, overuse of resources, and climate change. Unfortunately, once biodiversity has been lost, it can never fully be restored, thus, we must act quickly and efficiently to ensure that the least amount of permanent loss occurs.
Exotic animals should be banned from being purchased, hunted, and or traded from their natural habitat. People can look at an exotic animal for a couple minutes, but captivity affects their whole life. Exotic animals caged in non-natural habitats can experience many physical, and mental issues.
In today’s modern society, humans have made countless improvements to our way of life with the introduction of laws and ideas that makes life easier. But as we progress, we need to keep in mind that there are other living, breathing individuals that are affected by the choices of humans. Plants and wildlife also bear the burden that comes with changes in the environment. Activities that humans engage in can have an affect many times greater on wildlife. Activities like deforestation for housing developments or overfishing to provide for a high demand of seafood. Drilling for oil and natural minerals destroys the ground that plants use for soil to grow and, in turn, limits the hospitability of an environment for animals to thrive. Many
Idealized influence refers to the followers’ view at the leader in terms of power, charisma, self-confidence, trust, consistency and ideals to influence his followers, in which individuals make efforts to imitate and respect. Based on Ahmad and Abbas (2014), idealized influence means being a role model in front of employees and ready for sacrifices for the benefits of whole group. The researcher also added that, under idealized influence dimension, leaders provide vision, mission and faith and also inspire subordinates about objectives of organization.
