of a species to exist on this Earth. A species officially becomes extinct when all of the species no longer exists. A species is to become certainly extinct when there is an extremely small number of it and it is unable to reproduce to create more of itself. Therefore‚ we say a species is in for certain extinction if it cannot reproduce itself. Extinctions occur at a great pace and species that we did not even know existed become extinct all the time. Scientists say that of all the species that

While In-situ means preservation of species in its natural habitat‚ the latter refers to preservation of species outside its natural habitat. * METHODS OF IN-SITU CONSERVATION Protected areas are often set up for this. These protected areas are often classified into a core zone and a buffer zone. In the core zone no

Interactions between animal species: The interaction that the Giant Panda has with Red Panda is competition for bamboo; since‚ both pandas want the same bamboo in the same place. Competition is defined as two or more species use the same resource and both species end up unsatisfied. Not only‚ will they both compete for other resources such as territory. If two species use the same resources‚ they cannot live in the same region because there will be too much competition. Due to deforestation for

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

Non-believers of this topic argue that by keeping animals in captivity can help to save the endangered species. Supporting evidence is zoos have breeding programs for endangered species‚ In the wild‚ these animals may have trouble finding mates and breeding. Which brings me to the second piece of evidence; zoos help rehabilitate wildlife and may also take in exotic pets like snakes or porcupines
