Abstract
According to Eurostat report data (EU Statistical Office) the enormous impact of tourism on ecosystems would be one of the most important causes of biodiversity degradation in the Mediterranean countries. The Red List of
IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) records today some 16120 endangered species in the world. In this context we conducted this study of the coastal dunes vegetation in Oran, a subject whose work remain incomplete, and in the order to validate the presence of plant species threatened, vulnerable or likely to be so designated. A sampling was conducted during the year 2014 .All samples were identified using several reference books, including the new flora of Algeria of Santa and Quezel (1962-1963). Based on 25 surveys conducted in the study area, 90 species have been recorded, belonging to 16 families whith species that deserve protection as Cakile maritima and Ephedra distachya.

    An ecosystem is a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. Ecosystems can be changed by both human activity and natural succession. Ecological succession is the observed process of change in the species structure of an ecological community over time. The time scale can be decades (for example, after a wildfire), or even millions of years after a mass extinction. This essay aims to identify ways in which vegetation has transformed over time, and to evaluate the importance of both human and physical factors.…

    The Caucasus is a hotspot of plant and animal species diversity and endemism important for the conservation of biodiversity on a global scale. High levels of landscape diversity in the Caucasus are largely the result of altitude variability in the region. The unique geology and terrain, consisting of three major mountain chains separated by valleys and plains, permit a variety of different…

    The relationship between humans and their environment is a topic that engenders much debate. Humans are intellectual. They can think, reason, feel and make deductions or hypothesis and seek to solve or prove their deductions or theories. The environment on the other hand is inanimate and exists by means of natural laws and principles that govern the universe. It cannot prevent man’s exploitations; it cannot take up arms and fight. However, in its own way, by natural laws, it makes efforts to purge and renew itself from the effects of man’s endeavors. Mangor (2002) argues that like the ocean that shapes coastal landforms, the coasts are dynamic aspects of the environment that are in constant change. Thus, by means of its natural processes such as sea level rise, waves and various phenomenon, erosion, accretion and reshaping of coasts, flooding and the creation of continental shelves it defends itself against man. A specific aspect of the environment that engenders conversation is the coastal landscape: its beauty, its purpose, its abuse, and its future.…

    The Endangered Species Act was enacted in 1973 to protect the diminishing populations of certain wildlife. The document outlines five factors that could recognize a species as endangered, these include: Damage or destruction of habitat, disease or predation, the lack of existing protection, overuse of species for humanity’s progress, and any other natural factors that affect the continuation of the species. The government keeps a list of candidate species that have the possibility of needing protection, however, with the increasing number of species on that list only very severe cases make…
