we don’t change our way of thinking. Daniel Quinn and Rachel Carson are passionate about the environment because of the impact that sustainability and population control will bring. Carson believes that sustainability is crucial in keeping the ecosystem in balance. Carson in Fable of Tomorrow writes “on the farms hens brooded‚ but no chicks hatched. The farmers complained that they were unable to raise any pigs.” All this was happening because people of that town did not pay attention to the changes

values because it involves working in unison for a common goal or purpose to achieve more together than alone. It’s successful because it takes individual differences and morphs them into something more creative. It’s essential in everyday life‚ ecosystems‚ and getting further in life to achieve higher success. Nothing can be done single handedly. When we do simple tasks our feet and hands are working in unison to perform these tasks. All of our organs co-operate with each other so that we can

cadmium‚ and copper sulfides are mixed with oxygen and water (University of Vermont‚ 2009). This makes its way into the streams and rivers and can cause a threat not only to the ecosystem‚ but the aquatic system in which it is draining into. The damage and impact that can be created by this contamination can destroy an ecosystem. The destruction to aquatic organisms such as fish‚ and macro invertebrates can have lasting and permanent effects on the life of the stream or river. There are ways to lessen

Introduction A forest is an area of land with many trees. Many animals need forests to live and survive. Forests are very important and grow all over the world. Many forests are being cut down for houses to be built because of overpopulation. This cutting down of forests is called deforestation and it is causing damage to the natural habitat of animals. Even roads have been built for the peoples to pass though the forest to reach their destination. People have gotten rid of forest to build towns

and food webs are similar to each other‚ but they are not the same. We will explore the differences here. A food chain shows a single‚ connected path of energy flow through an ecosystem. Some animals only eat plants while some animals eat other animals. A food chain shows the different levels of eating within an ecosystem. The arrows show the flow of energy from one organism to the next. Most food chains begin with the sun at the bottom. Let’s examine the example on the right. There are three

ecologically and economically important as a natural renewable resource (Field 1995). They are considered productive ecosystems and important source and sink of carbon within the tropical coastal zone (Twilley et al. 1992; Ong 1993; Alongi 1998). The ecological processes in mangroves (productivity‚ nutrient cycling‚ litter dynamics‚ succession and sedimentation) make them most productive ecosystems in the coastal region (Clough & Attiwill 1982; Hutchings & Saenger 1987; Aksornkoae 1993).

Their restoration projects of re-establishing polluted or degraded environment to a possible thriving‚ self-sustaining ecosystem is critical in the rebuilding of a functioning natural ecosystem. It allows the return of native plant and animal species to thrive and allow the ecosystem to flourish. However due to the increasing demand of human interference such as “view clearing‚ logging and passive management” (Weaver 12)‚ these activities has led to
