Case Study: Alberta Institute For Wildlife Conservation

The mission of the Houston SPCA is to promote commitment to and respect for all animals and to protect them from suffering, abuse and exploitation. We work towards that mission by intervening on behalf of more than 50,000 animals a year, including cats and dogs; small mammals, birds; equines; farm animals, native wildlife (through our subsidiary The Wildlife Center of Texas) and exotic animals like lions, tigers, bears and primates. We are the only animal protection organization in the United States with the ability to care for all animals on one campus.

Most importantly is the trepidation of farmers with respect to the conceivable loss of domesticated animals. Wolves have been missing from Yellowstone for a long time. Albeit a few measurements assert that "less than 1% of the sheep and dairy cattle living in wolf range in Canada are executed by wolves every year," others recount an alternate story. As per the approach chief of the National Wildlife Institute, "In Canada, 41 percent of animals discovered dead have been murdered by wolves". The distinction in these measurements is disturbing. Clearly, insights can be communicated in an assortment of routes relying upon what guide one is attempting toward demonstrate. On the other hand, the actuality remains that wolves do, in any event incidentally, go after domesticated animals. (Albeit)Notwithstanding their sympathy toward domesticated animals, farmers fear the likelihood that, to guarantee the wolf's survival, untamed life directors will fence off a huge number of sections of land now utilized for touching. This could prompt the shutdown of farms, bringing about the loss of several occupations.

The Animal Humane Association mission is to “To engage the hearts, hands and minds of the community to help animals.” Even with thoughtful and helpful volunteers, saving animals takes the capital. On average twenty thousand pets come through the doors of the Animal Humane Association looking for care, vaccines, and forever homes. The Animal Humane Association use seventy-four percent of their profits to provide for animals in need, while the other twenty-six percent goes to the organizing and management of the foundation. Oftentimes seventy percent of profits is just not enough money to provide a stable and quality home for the thousands of pets that come through the Animal Humane Association ; thus we have decided to help this mission-driven charity gain some assets in order to keep the number of pets who live and die on the streets low.

Vazquez visited the sanctuary and fell in love with Gordic and wanted to know if it is possible to get updates on him. I thanked her for volunteering her time and referred her to the new stories website where she can read regular updates on all of the sanctuary animals, including Gordic.

It’s a brisk November morning like any other day, but today isn’t any other day, today is the first day of firearm deer season. Shots are going off everywhere like world war three declared on deer. I’m wrapped in every hunting garment I own but winters cold embrace always finds its way in. My cheeks are rosy red and my breath was thick in the air. As I raise my shotgun and pull the trigger, my heart races and my hands shake. As I race after my prize, the sounds of leaves crunching beneath my feet are muffled by the ringing in my ears. I’m walking face to the ground like a hound on a trail and then my eyes caught it, my very first whitetail. I will never forget my first deer and the joy I felt sharing it with my family. Hunting

The North American Wildlife Conservation Model is based on the idea that wildlife belongs to the people. This concept was first known as the Public Trust Doctrine, which was established during an 1842 Supreme Court case: Martin vs. Wadell. The ruling denied Martin; a private landowner’s claim of exclusive rights to the oysters within his territory of New Jersey’s Raritan River, as well as his demand for compensation from oysterman, Wadell. The court determined that the lands under navigable waters are common public property, beginning the revolution now known as the North American Wildlife Conservation Model (Organ 2012). This model is the world’s most successful model of maintaining wildlife management and setting regulations on today’s societies for further conservation efforts. This system of

The Canada Lynx also known as Lynx Canadensis is primarily in Canada, Alaska, and some northern states. There is a very small population in the lower 48, they primarily residing in Maine, but there are some sightings in Washington state, New Hampshire and Vermont. The Canada lynx use to have a range area specifically is Northeast (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York); the Great Lakes (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan); the Northern Rocky Mountains/Cascades (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, northwestern Wyoming, Utah); and the Southern Rocky Mountains (Colorado, southeastern Wyoming) (see picture1). The Canada lynx was recently introduced back into Colorado from Canada back in 2010. (Colorado,2010) (see picture 2) The reason

From the age of 15 I have had a job and was always better at work than school. It wasn’t until recently that I began to look back and decided I needed a change so, I made the choice to start college. My love of fishing and the outdoors made the decision easy when it came to choosing my major, Land Forestry Wildlife Management. Although the decision came easy and I feel it is the right career for me, there are many issues, positive and negative, related to my field. Land Forestry Wildlife Management does a lot of good for people and animals but can also hurt. Prescribe burning, wildlife control and forest management are all big issues related to the field.

I wake up every day ready to do something and learn. I like to try and explore new things as much as possible because of curiosity and my yearn for knowledge. I often get inspired to activities from cleaning to doing a whole science experiment and building things. I find doing experiments and hands on projects or learning in science is the most fun. Although it can be sometimes stressful I enjoy doing sketching and drafting in Engineering. In both math and technology I like the learning aspect of it all and trying it out on my own. I would like to work with animals and become a Zoologist with a side career of a Wildlife Rehabilitator. In my career choice it deals with a lot of science, technology, engineering, and math aspects. I could use

Plants and animals,both live in the environment,making it important to protect and preserve.First,we can care about the animals so they do not become extinct.Also in “Interrupted Journey” the story said that we should go take care about animals and maintain the animals so they do not become extinct quickly.Second, the environment needs to be clean and safe for habitats.In addition in “Everglades Forever” talks about the wetlands getting a Restoration plan to help preserve the wetlands.Third, we can preserve water, so the plants and the animals that live in the water might die. To continue with, in All of the stories and the video talking about to use less water. To end with, both plants

British Columbia is the west-most province locating on the pacific cost. It is Canada’s richest province in terms of biological diversity. It is home to 70 per cent of its freshwater fish species, 75 per cent of Canada’s bird species, 66 percent of its butterfly and thousands of other animals and plants. However, more than 43 % of these species are either threatened or endangered, only 191 species are listed under the federal species at risk act (commonly known as SARA), and only 1.6 % (three) is listed as at risk under the British Columbia Wildlife Act. What is even worse is the truth that British Columbia has more species at risk than any other province and its ineffective laws and policies (flaws in SARA) are the primary contributing

The environmental group that I would join would be The National Wildlife Federation. The website is www.nfw.org.

The major stakeholders involved in habitat mitigation include non-governmental organization and specifically, non-profit environmental organizations, the government and governmental organizations, and the public. Non-profit organizations often rely on the public as a workforce source. For Friends of the Alameda Wildlife Reserve, the public plays a key role in monitoring. Monitoring is an essential aspect of habitat mitigation. During the breeding season, it is important to know what risks California least terns are experiencing, such as predators, neurological difficulties due to contaminants, or food shortages. A group of more than forty volunteers monitors the site

My motivation which drew me to join the GLA program, was the dedication to helping those in need which GLA strives to do. In developing countries such as Costa Rica, Panama, and Mexico, animal care appears to be lacking. Since the country is developing, it makes sense that animal care and welfare would be developing as well. Many of these countries lack basic animal care such as spaying/neutering, basic vaccinations, and general health care. These unfortunate circumstances l can lead to communities with an over population of neglected, unhealthy animals. GLA’s work in Costa Rica to help improve the lives of animals who lack proper health care was something that drove me to want to participate in the program because with the constant efforts from hard-working GLA volunteers, I believe that eventually we can all be living in a world with minimal animal suffrage in these developing countries which would gradually improve as the countries themselves gradually improve.

This report was commissioned by the committee of the North West Trust for the Protection of Wildlife to analyses the financial statements of two project proposals for the Trust.
