people are more focused on the impact it may have on one kind of animal‚ humans. Through this anthropocentric way of thinking‚ the impact of globalization on all animals besides humans is often not recognized despite the vast importance that it holds. As the human world continues to work towards globalization‚ or a more interconnected world‚ the livelihood and future of nearly all animal species is threatened. The book‚ “A Sixth Extinction”‚ written by Elizabeth Kolbert‚ provides insight into the deeply

The Sixth Extinction According to the information given by Niles Eldredge‚ about 30‚000 species go extinct annually. The first five major extinctions that have happened in the past were due to natural causes. The first started with severe and sudden global cooling and lost 25% of families. The second happened near the end of the Devonian Period and may or may not have been the result of a global climate change of which 19% of families were lost. Evidence suggests that a bolide impact similar

Ordovician-Silurian extinction‚ global extinction event occurring during the Hirnantian Age (445.6 million to 443.7 million years ago) of the Ordovician Period and the subsequent Rhuddanian Age (443.7 million to 439 million years ago) of the Silurian Period that eliminated an estimated 85 percent of all Ordovician species. This extinction interval ranks second in severity to the one that occurred at the

We have learned many things about the dinosaurs mass extinction and how these forces can impact us today. Such as‚ the speed (velocity)‚ mass‚ force‚ and the lack of air friction of the object that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago was so great that it caused a collision with the Earth great enough to cause an extinction. Potential and kinetic energy are also involved in this. These forces and more such as‚ gravity‚ momentum‚ friction and more that we now know about can

Are Endangered Animals an Issue? There are around 41‚000 endangered species‚ and around 16‚000 of them are on the edge of extinction. There are many reasons for animals to go endangered‚ such as habitat loss‚ pollution‚ disease‚ predation‚ illegal killing‚ and poaching.

Endangered Animals Humans are destructive. Not a lot of us think about how what we do affects the world around us. We almost act like we are the only ones on this planet. We go around polluting and destroying our world with no regard for our actions. The things that live out in the wild are paying the price for it. Every day that passes there is another animal or plant that is placed on an endangered list. This is happening at an alarming rate. Because of man’s desire to expand and conquer their

Introduction Endangered animals are one of the most issues that are affecting the earth today. Endangered animals are any species of animals that is at significant risk of extinction due to the dramatic decline in its population and habitat destruction. The endangerment caused by poaching‚ global warming and human activities.
