Ivan Chavez B1 Invasive Species: The Mexican Fruit fly An invasive species is a species that does not naturally take place in a particular area and with its arrival brings economic‚ environmental or human harm (1). Recently there has been a bigger emphasis on invasive species (1). They are threatening our agriculture and forests and causing major impacts to our cities (1). The characteristics that make the species thrive in their environment vary with each. Their characteristics

U.S. Fish and Wildlife services have officially removed the gray wolf from the endangered species list calling the recovery‚ “one of the most remarkable success stories in the history of conservation.” “There are an estimated 7000 to 11‚200 gray wolves in Alaska‚ 3‚700 in the Great Lakes region and 1‚675 in the Northern Rockies” (Defenders of Wildlife 1). The gray wolf is no longer on the endangered species list because the numbers have risen so dramatically. Hunting should be allowed‚ as there is

series of food chains that link together. Invasive species are a part of our food web. Invasive species pose a great threat to the habitat of the existing native organisms. They can cause major disruptions to the existing habitats and so it is important to be able to stop their damage. Invasive species can be found in many different habitats including land and water. If the population of a given habitat increases‚ then there will be too many animals and too little food to feed the extra organisms.

The Endangered Species Act‚ enacted in 1973‚ was put into place to protect the world’s wildlife‚ however it was built on the scientific knowledge of species from back then. With advancing technology and understanding‚ the Endangered Species Act‚ while it was great basis for protection for many years‚ it is time for it to be updated to fit the ever-changing world. As more research is conducted‚ it is being shown that keeping genetic diversity is more important to a species then just population size

“Ghiselin’s argument is a philosophical one. The question of the individuality of species will not be settled by biologists alone”‚ then he adds this as a solution: “He himself supports a biological species concept and makes a strong case for this particular answer to the question of the proper definition of "species." However‚ his main concern is not with the definition of the term‚ but with the classification of species - and this‚ he recognizes‚ is a question of metaphysics.” (Teehan‚ 1999‚ pp. 379-380)

Should the Endangered Species Act Be Strengthened? Most of us do not realize how much we take for granted‚ but there are some out there who feel as I do when it comes to strengthening the Endangered Species Act. This law is essential to present and future generations‚ although we may not realize it. Humankind is lucky to live in such a variety of ecosystems‚ but unfortunately‚ we all happen to leave some type of mark on the Earth and share in the destruction of many species‚ as well as their habitats

Genetically Modified Plants and Animals Why should we know about the genetic modification of plants and animals? In this world today we are seeing different labels on our foods but does anyone even really know what they mean? For example what is the difference between a regular tomato and an organic tomato? We should know what foods we are consuming and how they affect our bodies. I believe that more regulations should be put into place by the Food and Drug Administration so that we are better

The Endangered Species Act: Facing Extinction It is found that “ninety-nine percent of currently threatened species are at risk from human activities‚ primarily those driving habitat loss‚ introduction of exotic species‚ and global warming” (“The Extinction Crisis”). The Endangered Species Act was put into place in 1973 as citizens of the United States began to realize the harsh effects of their everyday living on the living species around them. Plants and animals began to disappear‚ causing discord
