animal is under verge of extinction. Body 1 Firstly‚ change and habitat destruction by human activities is a major cause of animal extinctions. Changed or degraded habitat through several processes such as logging‚ swamps dried‚ sea cliffs reclaimed‚ rivers constrained to make dams‚ forest areas are opened up for agriculture and settlements and pollution occur due to certain activities. The impact of this change and habitat destruction sometimes cannot be discovered in a short time. Sometimes

It has a very limited mountain range habitat. Because their mountain range habitat is very limited in water supplies. They are dying from thirst just as much as starvation. Most of their population is put in protected places. If the Ethiopian wolf dies‚ the mouse population will rise rapidly(they eat mice) and

changes in land use and destruction of habitats‚ there has been gradual loss of habitats and species. Recent surveys indicate significant decrease in wildlife numbers both in and outside protected areas during the last three decades. About 65% of the country’s biodiversity is found outside protected areas. Steep decline in wildlife populations has occurred in rangelands outside protected areas due to rapid changes in land use leading to wildlife habitat loss through essentially land fragmentation

Round 1 = Without humans less pollution would be in the ecosystem and the natural habitat would be a lot more stable and in better condition than it currently is in. b. Round 2 = Without flowers in the ecosystem we would have lower levels of oxygen to breathe and at the same time a lot less allergies to things such as pollen but also

The image of Hong Kong is well known as “shopper’s paradise” and “Pearl of the Orient”. Further‚ according to the International Market Research Study‚ it shows that the lack of new appeals in Hong Kong is a significant reason for it not being considered as a vacation destination. Therefore‚ it is necessary to expand the appeals of Hong Kong. Why not use our existing natural resources as tourist attractions? To maintain the competitiveness‚ Hong Kong should build up its own unique and special character

treat them more kindly. While we can bring hope for the whales‚ we can also bring despair. More attention should be directed towards the saving of whales‚ because they are about to become extinct caused by pollution‚ environmental contamination‚ and habitat degradation as well as human hunting‚ which can be stopped‚ therefore I’d like to help these marveling creatures out. So first of all‚ I am the head of several other wildlife conservatories and fundraiser clubs devoted to saving endangered wildlife

4.3.1 State the arguments for preserving species and habitats. Why conserve biodiversity? The values of biodiversity can be classified as either direct values or indirect values (see pp.119-120 in the IB ESS Course Companion): • Direct values - can be (relatively) easily calculated • goods harvested & destroyed for consumption (eating) or sale in a market • generally physical commodities of some sort • private goods - value accrues to the owner of the resource • Examples:

As already said‚ in terms of research‚ lots of progress has already been made‚ and numerous new studies are published yearly regarding the matter. According the Space Settlements: A Design Study‚ “The focus of the system is a space habitat where 10‚000 people work‚ raise families‚ and live out normal human lives” (Space Settlements: A Design Study). That is to say‚ space colonies won’t affect our normal lives in any ways‚ except for ensuring our survival as a human race. Afterall‚ it

and that we our losing too much of what is ’natural’. I‚ personally‚ do not think that humans should harvest forest resources. I think that they should leave the forests along. I say this because we are driving our wildlife out of their natural habitats and some are dying as a result of this. I think that the forests should be left at their natural resources and we should not use it to benefit our way of life. I think that we should come up with an alternative to some of the resources we are using
