HOLD THE FUTURE: PRESERVING THE PHILIPPINES BIODIVERSITY The sum of all the different species of animals‚ plants‚ fungi‚ and microbial organisms living on Earth and the variety of habitats in which they live is called Biological Diversity or also known as the Biodiversity. Scientists estimate that upwards of 10 million—and some suggest more than 100 million—different species inhabit the Earth. Each species is adapted to its unique niche in the environment‚ from the peaks of mountains to the depths

Ecology is a scientific study and analyses of the interaction between organisms and their immediate environment. Therefore‚ ecological crisis has been considered as the misunderstanding that exists between the environment and living organism particularly‚ the human race. The major ecological crisis has been associated with the environmental pollution (Westra 122). Notably‚ race and ethnicity have been considered to be significant contributing factors to the ecological crisis than the economic income

Our intelligence to create tools and technology is another unique trait that separates us from other species‚ also our capability to adapt and change to different types of climate so that we can survive. The fact on how we look and act that differentiates us from other species gives a clear observation on what makes us human externally. Internally we have our brains and body type that show we are human‚ even though

questions will be answered in this essay. In reality‚ both nature and nurture affect how we act‚ think and feel. In order to be a human being and to survive‚ social interaction must occur. Social interaction can be defined as any relationship between two or more individuals. Socialisation is an important process to learn.

may not be as glamorous as the megafauna of the Serengeti or the bird life of Borneo‚ but these “rocky intertidal” areas turn out to be great places to study community ecology. An ecological community is a group of species that live together and interact with each other. Some species eat others‚ some provide shelter for their neighbors‚ and some compete with each other for food and/or space. These relationships bind a community together and determine the local community structure: the composition

Within these two ecosystems there are many endangered species which live and thrive‚ the June sucker lives in the Utah Lake and currently on the federally endangered species list. First‚ we will explore the Rocky Mountains of Utah and their importance to the wildlife that inhabit this ecosystem. The Rocky Mountains span across four states: Utah‚ Wyoming‚ Idaho

traits that occurred by taxonomy are the effects of brain size and bipedalism. Humans‚ like other primates are considered as Order Primates in the Hominidae family and therefore are a prime example of taxonomy when the two diverged into different species. During taxonomy when humans diverged from their ancestors 6 to 7 million years ago‚ the result is the differences such as walking upright‚ brain size and overall skeletal structure are prominent due to the divergence of humans and other primates
