Qatar has seen a lot of camel racing, which they believe as their tradition, where the best camels who can run faster are fed well to bring money to their owners. Poor camels are not encouraged for sports but are converted to food as …show more content…
Biodiversity includes multiple flora fauna and animal species. Increasing pollution due to activities encouraged by globalization are severely affecting many species, even those which are on the verge of extinction. Globalization activities are polluting and degrading the quality of air, soil, and water that are inherently essential for the survival of many species in diverse biosphere of earth. The effects are clear when Ehrenfeld quotes “Occasionally, pressures of globalisation can be shown to be causally related to the loss of a particular kind of domestic livestock, as in the case of the near demise of Haiti's Creole pigs” (Ehrenfeld). These impacts are escalating the damage that is almost irreversible, leading to loss of resources to humans for their perpetual survival. Increase in factories, production plants, using hazardous materials in production, throwing off waste materials that harm the environment are some of the activities that affect the biodiversity in turn affecting the possibility of human species to keep extracting resources at free will and without restrictions. Air pollution, waste disposal, water and soil pollution and deterioration are by-products of activities that are purely based on the implementation of globalization. Is this not self-sabotage, where capitalists ignore the dire consequences and irreversible impacts of their activities on biodiversity and the global ecological environment? Are they not liable for the direct and indirect damages being persistently caused to the environment? Can globalization continue without incorporating the social, environmental, and biological costs of its own growth? Globalization has been ignoring large scale impacts on biodiversity due entirely to the inexpressiveness of various species and the
