Threatened Habitats A habitat is the physical environment in which a community of plants and animals live. There are many different habitats around the world. Threatened habitats are those that are in danger of being destroyed for reasons such as deforestation‚ pollution‚ urbanisation‚ natural disasters‚ increasing temperatures and erosion. Habitat destruction is happening all over the world. Tropical rainforests in Central and South America and in Southeast Asia and parts of Australia are being

Cloning animals also has benefits‚ it can help endangered species not be in extinction‚ there would be less starvation‚ and we would make more animal based products. The idea of cloning humans or human body parts can be very helpful to curing diseases and for organ transplants. Doctors will be able to replace damaged body parts

takes away animal’s natural instincts to live in the wild; however‚ it is understandable if an animal or a certain species that’s close to extinction is taken in by zoo care. Therefore‚ zoos are an internment camp for those animals that are capable of taking care of their selves in the wild and aren’t for those that are in need of care and close to extinction. Regardless of how much effort is put into recreating an animal’s specific habitat‚ it will never be the same. Orcas for example‚ would have

In areas where rare species are present‚ habitat destruction can quickly force a species to extinction. Besides that‚ we can also play our role in conserving the wildlife habitat.

Extinct Species Woolly Mammoths During the last Ice Age‚ there were many large‚ interesting mammals‚ such as the Woolly Mammoth. This animal has long since gone extinct and any knowledge on it is based on fossils and frozen carcasses. We have learned much about the Woolly Mammoth‚ almost more than any other dinosaur that has been identified. A Mammoth is any species of the extinct genus Mammuthus and a sister genus to elephas. Woolly Mammoths were approximately 11 feet tall‚ had long tucks

This is demonstrated in “Zoos Are Not Prisons. They Improve the Lives of Animals.” when it’s described that “the need for intensive conservation campaigns is now more urgent then ever before: our world is currently in the midst of the ‘sixth extinction’.” Moreover‚ without human intervention‚ environments will collapse from human error. The author of “Why Zoos Are Good” explains that “reintroduction successes... are increasing and the very fact that species have been saved or reintroduced as a
