the concepts of species diversity‚ habitat diversity and genetic diversity. Species diversity: Both the range and number of organisms found in a single place or habitat – how many species and how many of each Genetic diversity: Range of genetic material present in a species or a population‚ the gene pool. Domestication and plant breeding lead to a loss of genetic variety‚ hence the importance of “gene banks” Habitat diversity: The number of different habitats per unit area that a particular ecosystem

Siberian Tiger was given a life saver when Russia became the first country in the world to grant the tiger full protection. During the 1980’s the population of the Siberian tiger rose to about 500‚ although constant poaching and habitat loss has kept it right under 500. Habitat loss has always been a main factor for all modern animals that have either gone extinct or are currently endangered. There are several reasons

The habitats where hamadryas baboons live make them vulnerable to various apex predators‚ such as lions and spotted hyenas. Other predators include snakes and birds of prey (Schreier and Swedell‚ 2012). As for geladas‚ their predators comprise of wild dogs‚ jackals‚ leopards‚ foxes and hyenas (Dunbar‚ 1975). However‚ the highly structured group configuration of hamadryas and geladas make it difficult for predators to attack due to signaling capabilities‚ which warns the members ahead of time. Furthermore

The reason I say partial behavior is because they do not prefer to live in an all-dry habitat‚ but they also do not find large bodies of water an ideal habitat as well.

The world’s habitats and ecosystem have been damaged by human activity and organic resource consumption‚ which has caused a great loss of biodiversity. If strong efforts are not made to restore and sustain conditions‚ our ecosystem will be destine for collapse. It is imperative that we use TEK (traditional ecological knowledge) as a source of environmental ethics to conserve the earth’s habitats and restore our ecosystem “TEK has a strong potential to contribute to more effective and

Animals and their habitats should not be disturbed by humans. For example‚ humans are destroying the homes and habitats of animals. The arcticle‚ ’The Impact of Animal Protection’‚ says "Throughout history‚ human activites have changed or destroyed the habitats that animals need to survive". Some of the activites that

There are also some isolated populations in France and the Pyrenees.

It can tolerate several different habitats and can be found in woodland‚ farmland hedges and scrub‚ however not in areas that are arid.[3]. When it comes to their habitats‚ shrews are very territorial‚ therefore only during mating season (March) does the male enter a different shrew’s territory

This allows them to interact with one another‚ both nonliving and living things.
