Animal Vs World

In the ever changing environment it is a daily struggle for animals to maintain there natural habitats. With the environmental and man made challenges that animals face it is important that we take steps to ensure their survival on earth. If we choose not to help wildlife in the future, not only will they suffer, but we will suffer for the losses. I will attempt to explain what will happen if we don’t take measures now to ensure their survival. The first issue that needs to be dealt with is the amount of construction taking place in the world today. For example, animals are losing their environments in rainforests and woods all over the world to clear the path for new buildings and construction. With nowhere to go, animals are losing their lives and unable to breed. Another reason the future of wildlife is in danger is because of global warming. With the amount of people in the world and all the waist and pollution that they create has caused severe climate changes worldwide. For example, the polar bears have been affected by these climate changes due to the melted ice caps in the Antarctic. This causes them to travel greater distances in the search for food and risking starvation. Finally, if we choose not to help wildlife in the future we will have the greatest loss to ourselves because many animals will become extinct and future generations will only be able to see these beautiful creatures in photographs. In conclusion, it is up to us to ensure the future of wildlife by making changes that will affect not only animals but every human on

    What is the world going to be like in the next 20 years? Will we still see the same animals as we see today? As a nation, the impact on the environment that we have is a very substantial amount. But what about individually impacting the environment? Many people believe that they have a little impact, so many people don’t think they need be conscious about the impact they have on the world’s animals and environment. If the world would realize that a one person, with a little impact they can join together and have 7.3 billion people having a small impact. With that big of an impact, the world would be a better living space and the future generations will get to enjoy the animals on the verge of extinction. Sandra Steingraber is an ecologist and…

    All in all, the book is a presentation of facts about endangered species and what we, as human beings and animals alike, are doing that puts them into this very alarming predicament. Several animals, as we know it, are growing into this category we’d call ‘endangered’. To become ‘endangered’ an animal species would have to have a 50% population loss in over 3 generations or 10 years. A more dangerous situation would be a species be ‘critically endangered’, wherein an animal species would have lost an unbelievably high percentage of 80% in over 3 generations or 10 years. Some animal populations would even be as low as below 100. But the worst…

    Did you know that the animal population is decreasing by 0.1% each year. Therefore, it will take 573 years for all animals to die. What will we do then? Every time a species goes extinct, it has a huge impact on the ecosystem. Say a predator goes extinct. Its prey will overpopulate, which can also lead to horrible consequences. Or what if a prey goes extinct. Its predator will have find a new food source or go extinct with it. Also, in a recent survey, nine out of ten people said they would pay tax dollars to save the giant panda. One out of ten people said they would pay to save the Eurasian Hazel Dormouse. Nobody was interested in saving the Dung Beetle or Wasp. Why is this when they do so much for us. The Dung Beetle puts important…

    Helen Simpson Animals

    In recent years, animal life activists and government officials have teamed up to develop plans to keep endangered animals from going extinct and to limit deforestation. Although their diligent work has shown security for animal and plant lives, they have yet to target the underlying problem which is climate change due to human involvement making it harder to protect all species of plants and animals. In Helen Simpson’s Diary of an Interesting Year, Simpson makes it clear to the audience that nearly all animal life is extinct other than a select few. Simpson’s short story describes a future that involves humans having to rely on food that is readily available which does not include many animals allowing it to be easier to suffer from starvation.…

    By letting people know what an endangered species is, and what their habitat currently looks like, they can help restore many of the species to their previous numbers before they became endangered. Most species that are endangered are found in small or unusual habitats. However, species that are dispersed over a larger area, or over more regions survive and thrive better especially through natural disasters, for example. Some of the main goals of the World Wildlife Fund by the year 2020 are to get people from all walks of life and in all kinds of jobs to help protect animals along with their ecosystems as much as possible. Also by strengthening local community efforts in conserving their community and its surrounding area, the World Wildlife Fund hopes to help the efforts of the fifteen most important regions as mentioned above. Another way to help those endangered species is to let markets know about the numerous effects that they have on animal endangerment by producing and selling commodities. So now that I have explained everything about what the World Wildlife Fund actually is, some endangered species, and how you and/or anyone else can help out, we are calling on you to do something about the declining diversity in the animal…

    In addition to all natural resources on this planet fading away, there is an ever growing apprehension with the number of species of wildlife and the respective habitats of each. All over the world, nature preservation parks have been constructed just so a small group of people can be accountable to enforce certain guidelines for that preserve which support and ensure safety of life within that area. With more and more natural resources required to maintain our “natural” function of life, it is inevitable that the natural resources will run out sometime. It is only a question of when.…

    While the causes of human and wild animal interaction are growing rapidly as human and animal population, the effects are shown in various areas. As an example deer, a species that’s population that has sky rocketed in absence of natural predators, causes traffic accidents every year as they attempt to cross U.S. roadways. In effect our society feels like its our personal responsibility to take life away from innocent animals such as deer, stray dogs, and other overpopulated animals. The problem of overpopulation doesn’t stop in areas close to wildlife. It’s a problem in cities across the world as stray cats and dogs are sent to the local shelters to be put asleep simply because they are homeless. While these are problems for everyone in the area,…

    Any type of natural disaster caused by Mother Nature can and will impact an animal’s life in many ways. From hurricanes, droughts and floods to tsunamis, and earthquakes, these incidents can dramatically alter the animal population. Wildlife animals have an instinctive quality to be able to identify and attempt to avoid natural disasters, but it does not always work to their benefit. It is the goal of many organizations throughout the United States, including the Red Cross to protect the wildlife animals and prevent the hurting, disruption and extinction of the animals by natural disasters.…

    Ever since I can remember, my one driving force has been for animals. I was the girl who was obsessed with helping a hurt or lost animal, and always curious about the creatures I found in my backyard. I have a devoted passion for animals of all shapes and sizes and plan to spend my future saving them and their habitats. I want to help the people of our world understand that animals are not ours to use and abuse for material use, food, and entertainment. First with saving animas comes saving their habitats. For the way we are advancing in the technological and industrial world is not sustainable; due to human activities, we face a world with no fisheries, coral reefs, or rainforests; declining oxygen concentrations, the loss of honey bees,…
