Coastlines have a special place in history and they are disappearing the most rapidly. He talks about how National Parks and Forests need to be handled with care since there are a limited supply left, for the people to view. Early and recent developments like the fishing resort and the separation of National Forest from State forest in Minnesota, have threatened the disintegration of some areas. Tourist roads and public highways move in on federal areas reserved for the beautiful views, and are starting to take over. The author talks about how during war times the shortage of lumber was a gateway for new roads to clear out the trees, but now ski-resorts are built where wilderness use to reside. He also states that Canada and Alaska have wilderness areas that have never been named and should stay like that as long as possible. Wilderness for recreation has annihilated numerous acres of wilderness for games and athletic sports. In the early days wilderness was only used to…

Throughout this article, Sahoo and Schladow analyze and investigate the impact of climate change in Nevada, California's Lake Tahoe as a case study on effects of climte change on the the physical processes occurring within lakes " (Sahoo & Schladow, 2008). On a previous study during the period 1969-2002, the effect of global warming on Lake Tahoe was investigated and results showed that during that time, the lake became warmer and more stable (Sahoo & Schladow, 2008). In respect to the data that was collected, measures predicted that after 40 years the lake's temperature will remain stable (Sahoo & Schladow, 2008). However, Sahoo and Schlado claim that nowadays climate change plays a major role in changing the predicted data in respect to…

Between the hundreds of acres of corn that make up Iowa lies a speck of flickering lights named Mount Vernon. Built in the shadows of Cedar Rapids, Mount Vernon is not unlike any other small Iowa town hoisted up by farmers with corn sprouting up on every possible plot of land, housing developments appearing overnight to appease the rich businessman, and of course, the best high school in the state. However, Mount Vernon is not nearly as nice and quaint as it may seem. In this sleepy town time appears to crawl as advancement ceases to exist and everyone merely survives. Through the citizens of Mount Vernon the surrounding corn is shown for what it truly is, a trap, a jail for everyone unfortunate enough to be stuck living in it.…

The creations which now face extinction include several different kinds of orchids and ferns, Florida tree snails, and the indigo snake. The intrusion of the Water Conservation Areas though places this pattern in serious jeopardy. The levee system interrupts the drydown as conditions on one side may not match with conditions on the other. Changes in the dry/wet season cycle, affect alligator reproduction, interrupting mating and often drowning their eggs. This can cause extinction with this species as well. Mercury has been found in local fish at such high levels that consumption warnings were posted for fishermen. A Florida panther was found dead with levels of mercury high enough to kill a human. Scientists have found that power plants and incinerators using fossil fuels were expelling mercury into the atmosphere, and it falls as rain or dust during droughts. This is potentially damaging to the…
Florida is home to one of the most famous wetlands in the country, the Everglades. The diverse array of plants and animals create a truly remarkable site to behold. Its sheer beauty and awe-inspiring scenery make the Everglades one of the most sought after, and protected wetlands in the country. However, the Florida Everglades has not always received the respect it deserves. In the past, the Everglades has been mistreated in many ways, from being used as a dump site for pets and waste, to being rained of its resources, the Everglades has surly seen its fair share of neglect. Be that as it may, other wetlands around the country aren't being treated as well as they should be either. Thankfully, government organizations have stepped in to stop this mistreatment. After all, wetlands, such as swamps, marshes, and bogs contribute to the well being of us humans. For…
In recent times, it has become increasing clear that economic development and population growth are resulting in expeditious changes in natural ecosystems, globally, and particularly on the self-sufficient ecosystems of Hastings Point. In acknowledgment of this, the United Nations’ Kofi Annan presented a report: “We the Peoples: The Role of the United Nations in the 21st Century.” (2000) Annan called for Millennium Ecosystem Assessment in order to establish the consequences of change in ecosystems for the well-being of humans, and to specify the importance of conservation actions needed to enhance the sustainable use of services supporting various aspects of human life (2000) (Alberti, 2005). Findings from the report and recent studies situated…
