organisms‚ these are the main restrictions to their range and dispersal (either natal or breeding). The first limiting factor to the distance they can travel from their population or parent is the resources available. One artificial barrier is habitat fragmentation by humans and their use of land and taking of land from the organisms that inhabited it before. Then the last big hindrance to an organisms dispersal range is the climate and changes in the climate. All of these things are the key factors and

have an impact to the human well-being now and in the future. Biodiversity depends on many factors but the most influentive is the habitat loss which influences the biodiversity worldwide. Humans converts native areas into agriculture and industrial areas without realising how much impact it has now and will have in the future. Habitat loss is connected with fragmentation which influence the increasing amount of extinction. The specific climate is essential to be maintained for some species. If it is

rainforests are one of the most endangered habitats in the world. Many factors threaten these forests‚ possibly leading to deforestation and decrease of species within a forest. In South-East Asia‚ the point where tropical rainforests can only exist as preserved fragments in nature reserves is approaching very fast (Aiken & Leigh‚ 1985). One example is a nature reserve named “Bukit Timah” in Singapore. Next to the problem of habitat loss‚ fragmentation can cause a lot of other trouble to species

Urban development is one of the main issues affecting the UAE’s coastal zone. The UAE has experienced dramatic population growth in a relatively short period of time spanning only four decades. The population of the country rose from 180‚000 in 1968 to currently over 8 million. The majority of this population (> 85 %) is coastal and even more visiting coastal areas regularly. Parallel with the population growth has been the rapid expansion of urbanization with most of these urban areas occurring

Wildlife Wildlife traditionally refers to non-domesticated animal species‚ but has come to broadly include all plants and other microbes that grow or live wild in an area without being introduced by humans.[1] Domesticating wild plant and animal species for human benefit has occurred many times all over the planet‚ and has a major impact on the environment‚ both positive and negative. Wildlife can be found in all ecosystems. Deserts‚ forests‚ rain forests‚ plains‚ grasslands‚ and other areas including

They require large and diverse areas of the forest to meet their habitat requirements. Natural habitats of the Cross River Gorilla are becoming homes for humans and humans are deplenishing the natural resources found in or around the gorillas’ habitats. Drastic deforestation and fragmentation of the land have ruined their habitats and lowered the carrying capacity of the habitats. These gorillas have a very distinct and unusual behavior.
