Laws are in place to protect species on the verge of extinction and because of the protection from the ESA‚ iconic species such as bald eagles‚ gray wolves and grizzly bears were able rebound and recover. Without the ESA we could potentially lose species that are vital to our ecosystem and our existence

During the past 30 years the population of giraffes has staggered‚ with numbers decreasing so significantly that these animals are on the verge of extinction. Records from the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) show in 1985 there were approximately 155‚000 giraffes. In 2015‚ it was discovered that there were only 97‚000 left. Some of the major causes of the species population decline are poaching‚ political strife‚ and loss of habitat in Africa. Prior to 2015‚ giraffes were

Protected species are organized under CITES into three appendices whereas Appendix I lists the species which are threatened with extinction due to trade‚ and hence the trade of species in Appendix I is prohibited for commercial purposes. Appendix II contains species that are not necessarily now threatened with extinction but they may become so unless trade is closely controlled. Species under Appendix III are listed because at least one country has requested other countries

4. Outline the main principles of behavioural learning theories and using examples discuss its potential therapeutic application. Humans are very complicated‚ but how do humans’ behaviours construct? We are not born with knowledge or personality‚ but we never stop learning from the day we birth. We change the way how we perceive different environments as we learn. Therefore‚ humans’ behaviours can be developed or changed by learning association and experience. There are two main behavioural learning

The oldest evidence of zoos in human society can be traced back to 3500 BCE. The first ever zoos were usually designed for kings and queens’ collections‚ and symbolized their royal power and wealth. Until the time of modern zoos‚ as people know today‚ animals never really benefited.

Once these behaviors are reinforced anymore‚ it will lead to extinction. Classical conditioning is a procedure by which a previously neutral stimulus comes to elicit a response after it is paired with a stimulus that automatically elicits that response‚ the first type of learning to be systematically studied (Kowalski

Animal Rights "What is man without the beast? If the beast were gone‚ man would die from a great loneliness of spirit. For whatever happens to the beast soon happens to man" (Chief Seattle). While much has been done to protect animals‚ it is nowhere near what needs to be done to secure their inhabitance on earth and give them their rights. Animals have nerves so they can feel pain and they do suffer so is it right to put them through that by experimenting on them. Additionally if more of the world

I will also provide the respective counter-arguments‚ which suggest that zoos do not contribute positively to the animal conservation movement. The first and most broad argument is that zoos contribute to preventing the extinction of a species. This claim is based on the concept that zoos keep endangered animals safe and
