Loss of Species Every year a new species gets placed on the endangered species list‚ extinction is a natural process but due to human activity there has been a rapid decline in the wild species population. Loss of habitat or alteration‚ hunting‚ introduction of foreign species‚ and disease are major culprits in the extinction rate. The protection of species is an important element to the survival of biodiversity as well as human sustainability. The loss of a species means humans will lose out

Keystone species play a large role in each ecosystem‚ they have the ability to alter their ecosystem or be the reason they completely collapse. Keystone species are the reason that many different species exist‚ these other species highly depend on the keystone species for survival‚ if a single keystone species were to go extinct‚ it is likely for other species populations to decrease. Other species benefit from keystone species in a variety of ways‚ such as food supply‚ shelter‚ or a water source

KEYSTONE SPECIES-BEES Elliott Chang Keystone Species are species that would affect our lifestyle and how we live if they were to die out. There called Keystone Species because in an arch‚ there is one stone that keeps the 2 halves of the arch in place and if you were to take it out‚ everything would collapse. Bees are like that. Bees contribute to our society economically‚ ecologically and biologically. They are the species that really make everything the way it is for us. Bees contribute

Invasive species pose a threat to the continued survival of the native plant life‚ at camp catalpa. The two most prevalent invasive species are the Bush Honeysuckle and the Roughleaf Dogwood. Several species have been negatively impacted by the continued presence of the invasive Bush Honeysuckle and Roughleaf Dogwood. The Bush Honeysuckle produces a toxin‚ which is released into the soil that inhibits the growth of other species. Bush Honeysuckle and Roughleaf Dogwood are shade tolerant species. There
