and the ecosystem upon which they depend on. Since 1973 the Endangered Species Act has saved endangered and threatened species from extinction. The Endangered Species Act‚ also known as the ESA‚ is a list of approximately 2‚195 endangered or threatened species. For a species to be considered endangered and listed onto the ESA‚ the species has to be in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range and considered threatened if it is likely to become endangered within the foreseeable

The Chapter Five in "The Drunkard’s Walk" is "The Dueling Laws of Large and Small Numbers". At first‚ it discusses the problem about what is the connection between probability and observed results‚ however‚ true randomness does occur in nature. To learn more about the randomness‚ people found that nature’s perfect quantum dice. According to Benford’s law‚ numbers cumulative biased towards lower digits. This law can be used to identify fraud in dollar amounts. Then‚ the writer introduces two definitions

Jurassic Park‚ a cult favorite‚ seems to be a scary work of fiction. What most do not realize is that there are efforts taking place right now to make the processes of reversing extinction a reality. This process‚ coined as ‘De-Extinction‚’ is defined as using intact tissues of extinct animals to clone them and introduce them back into existing ecosystems. These efforts are taking place all over the world: the United States of America‚ Australia‚ Poland‚ and Russia. (Zimmer‚ 2013) This process includes

Unfortunately‚ many of species have not fared well during past decades suffering from things such as human activities‚ climate change and the spread of invasive species. An increasing number of species is reported at risk of extinction in United States. Is extinction serious threat? should endangered species be protected? All three sources give the answer that
