Conservation Of Species Conservation : Species Extinction And Conservation

So many amazing people spoken stories about this beautiful earth so let's not make the next one a tragedy.The People remain at fault so they should care a little bit more than they do and not hide from it since everyone has to deal with it.Global warming is destroying habitats of animals that lived on this planet longer than we . also the reason for climate change and why places are hurting in bad weather. If any of this could go any further, it could bring living organisms to extinction, including us.

The surviving species with the right amount of traits take advantage of these niches and live in them. This is called adaptive radiation. http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/news/120901_afterextinction

Did you know that there are 13 species of animals who we may have to say goodbye to in 2015, or an estimated 2.2 billion tons of waste is yearly dumped into oceans? There is no need to research the litany of environmental changes; news such as global warming, air pollution, or resource scarcity that choke environmental problems to appear daily on TV screens and in newspapers. Even with these particularly cautions, many of us are still facing environmental catastrophes with overly optimistic attitudes, ignoring how serious the matter is. This form of the unrealistic expectation is similar to the blind development in our technological society that engenders a series of environmental and economic problems. Paul Ehrlich, [1] a Stanford University

Unlike mass extinctions before this, “Unlike past mass extinctions, caused by events like asteroid strikes, volcanic eruptions, and natural climate shifts, the current crisis is almost entirely caused by us — humans.” The earth is currently experiencing its sixth mass extinction caused by human behaviour and this can be seen by assessing modern extinction rates due to human activity, human overpopulation and man-made climate

In the course of Earth’s history, there have been five major extinction events: the Ordovician-Silurian, Late Devonian, Permian-Triassic, Triassic-Jurassic, and Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction events. Now, according to Pulitzer Prize-winning author Elizabeth Kolbert, we are entering another one that is caused by a single species: ours. Human beings have decimated the rainforest, hunted animals like the great auk to extinction, pumped billions of tons of pollution into our atmosphere and oceans, and almost completely reassembled the biosphere. Even more frighteningly, these facts come from 2014, and in the four years since The Sixth Extinction’s initial release, we haven’t slowed down a bit. Kolbert closes her book with a call to action,

Over 1,000 species die off every year, because of us. We are wiping out species over 1,000 faster than nature can create new ones. There are over 1,000,000 species worldwide. If we keep up the rate of killing over 1,000 species a year by the year 102,017 all species excluding humans will be extinct. It may seem like a long time until you think about all of the animals on a worldwide spread, gone forever. Some that are already extinct are the well know dodo bird, passenger pigeon, and the sea mink. All due to poaching.

In areas of the world different species are becoming extinct at a rapid pace. This could be due to the environmental forces acting against them or through acts such as hunting. The reason why conservation biology has a deadline is because the effects of rising populations and the destruction with habitats as a result of the increase. If the event where extinction could occur is caught early enough then scientists would be able to perform conservation biology; however, in many instances if the environmental forces such as pollution or warming climate continues then the species affected would perish. This is the deadline for many species as scientists have been able to predict what might happen in the future and have until that time to get the problem solved.

Recently, the idea of global warming has been under fire by people who claim it to be a hoax. Even “President-elect Donald Trump said Sunday that “nobody really knows” whether climate change is real” (Eilperin). Even with skepticism, the largest problem facing the world in coming years will undoubtedly be environmental issues. All across the globe, millions of people and thousands of communities feel the effects of global warming and deforestation daily. Whether through a loss of water, rising sea levels, or even a decrease in agriculture, the world is changing and suffering as a result.

An endangered species face a huge risk of extinction in the coming years. This could be due to habitat loss, natural occurring disasters, pressure from other species and climate change. Sometimes the biggest factors due to population decrease are Human Beings themselves. Some species that are facing a threat to extinction are Chimpanzees, Amur Leopard, African Wild Dog and of course the Mountain Gorilla.

How cool would it be to have extinct species back on earth. Scientists should stop continuing de-extinction because there are unforeseen consequences like scientists would half to make enough extinct species for at least one healthy sized population, half to stop mammoths from raiding crop lands, and it could become an invasive species that could have more for unseen consequences.

Species revival does come with beneficial factors, giving reasons for why it is possible. However, with various types of research, there are causes that result in debate and hesitance to furthering development of the idea. This is very common in the debate of pursuing de-extinction for different points. First, a major question returns of “ where do we put them—what changed in their original habitat that may have contributed to their extinction in the first place?” (Text 3 Lines 25-27) There were specific aspects in habitats that contributed to the loss of species. Thus, in question comes of how extinction is preventable prior to the research made of how to resolve this. What this argument overlooks is the improvement to habitats that are additional to de-extinction.

Erika, as I record your discussion you made serious points on species going extinct and the de extinction procedure. Species plays a significant function in humans live and in the natural surroundings. Erika we as humans eat food and it keeps us active. Do you think species will be the same or have the same nutrients? As we know in our environment today chemicals are used to make species grow faster. It makes me question and wonder how scientists are taking our environment into their own hands. There should special laws on how and what species are to be recreated. I personally feel species should be left alone and let our creator continue to replenish our

De-extinction is so cool but there is no asherens it will go exactly as planned.It can have so many full backs like desys and another dust bowl because of all the grass and food reward to feed these creatures and they don't care if you need that land of that grass or anything about the fall back they just want to eat.One thing is,¨Species could carry retroviruses or pathogens when brought back to life.¨They could seriously harm other species that are alive and that same virus or pathogen could mutate and harm us humans to and the very thing we tried to save ends up killing us right after we save its species.Also, ¨De-extinct species would be alien and potentially invasive...¨ Which this means that the de-extinct species could petenshely take

There have been five well known extinctions on this earth. The one most well known is the mass extinction that ended the dinosaurs. Mass extinction is often described as the elimination of a large number of species in a short period of time. Despite what many think, the elimination of species is almost commonplace at this point. The Earth is currently in the middle of a sixth mass extinction, and it’s been caused by the human race.

As much as our amazing world offers us, we humans are taking away as well. It is believed that 99.9% of species are now extinct; many of those that occurred over the last 25,000 years can be attributed to humans (“Foundational Concepts”2014). Humans have caused severe environmental changes such as global warming, loss of environment, animal trafficking, pollution of toxic chemicals and trash, and poaching. It’s estimated that 905 species are extinct and 16,928 are listed as
