Habitat fragmentation

There are many factors that are speculated to contribute to CCD, such as pesticide use, pathogens, climate change, and bee habitat degradation (Potts, 2010). However, because all of these factors are dependent and interact with one another, it is hard to pinpoint which has more of a negative influence over the other (Potts, 2010). • Pesticide use: Pesticides are deadly to bees…

They are threatened and endangered because of habitat loss, invasive species, diseases, and business growth. The people can help solve this problem by recycling, donating to the national refuges, and by getting rid of invasive species. The loss of the native plants and animals’ habitat is causing the decrease in the natural resources that the locals and tourists use. “If we wish to achieve this broader goal of preserving…

include habitat destruction, degradation, and fragmentation; invasive species; population growth and increasing use of resources; pollution; climate change; and overexploitation. All these factors summarized by HIPPCO may be applied to whales to describe how their populations have been affected and will be affected in the future. Quite simply, the whale populations have been decimated by human activity and environmental catastrophes that have ultimately adversely affected the whale. Habitat…

of the world's most endangered species, that unique and rarely exist in China. The Earthquake that took place in 2008 Wenchuan, China, cause of huge damage to the ecosystem, which breaks down the environment that Panda live in and harm the living habitat of the panda. On May 12, 2018, an 8.0 degree earthquake took place in Wenchuan, China. The quake damage thousands of lives. Through the earthquake, almost 375,000 people were injured, (CNN, 2009) The quake damage huge amount of lives, and it…

Human Threats: For both of these species the common habitat is the Marram grass and fresh water regions within the Nature Reserve. As there are many contributing factors to the loss and damage of both of these habitats, it is difficult to pinpoint which factor causes the most destruction. Habitat loss and fragmentation, an overall decline in groundwater quality, water pollution incidents, water shortages and predation from feral populations such as ducks and competition from introduced exotics…

To frack or not to frack? This is a question, common amongst humanity today. Fracking is the process of drilling deep into the ground to extract natural gas from the shale down below. To extract the natural gas humongous amounts of toxic fluid, loaded with silica sand and chemicals, are pumped into the ground. This fluid is not always pumped back out of the ground and seeps into surrounding groundwater. North America should stop the use of fracking because it can cause earthquakes, puts the…

various species of animals is critical to not only Texas’ environment but to the economy because the estimated value of Texas’ wild game is between $100-$300 million (Brown et. al ND). Texas public policy regulates hunting, wildlife conservation, and habitat protection, however, management of predatory species, and species who…

Forests and Environmental Values Forestry is a profession related to resource management that is primarily about the art and science of creating, maintaining, using, and protecting the forest and its resources. The usefulness of the forest is vast, and its value in the world’s societies can be quite large. The people of the world value forests for their economic value primarily, for the forest provides important resources such as timber, medicines, and ecotourism revenue. This economic benefit…

Human-carnivore interactions are universal, and people’s negative behaviors to carnivores in their habitats are a major challenge to biodiversity conservation (Woodroffe et al. 2005). These interactions play an important role in the livelihood and also determine the survival of the wildlife in the context of increasing pressure due to expanding human population characterizing most countries in south Asia (Ceballos and Ehrlich 2002). Large carnivores frequently viewed as indicator or umbrella…

many years. The mortality of pandas has been due to numerous factors such as habitat loss, starvation, poaching, reproductive biology, and parasitic threats. There is a great impact to biodiversity loss if these issues are not dealt in time to keep the giant panda from extinction. Habitat Loss: Southern central China is home to the giant panda.…
