Efforts to Save the Snow Leopard

They aren't able to adapt and figure their new environment quickly enough. Documents B, E, and F each tell about a specific organism that was affected by the dramatic climate change, these organisms spend years trying to perfect their home, diet, and children. Document B states, “Organisms are dying out, especially in certain areas where they aren't able to adapt as quickly, but they don't have the chance to do all that work over, so they have to live with that and start over until they reach safety again.

Last, many endangered animals are becoming more at risk because of the climate change. The habitats of several endangered animals have started to disappear, and their water has become scarce, too. Document B says that these animals include snow leopards, whose forest climate is shrinking, one-horned rhinos, whose vegetation is being diminished by regular droughts and floods, and orang-utans, who are being killed in forest fires in their forest homes. This killing of endangered animals is bringing these species closer to extinction all because of the rise in earth’s

The leopardus pardalis, or the ocelot, also known as the dwarf leopard, has been endangered since 1982 and is protected by the Endangered Species Act (FWS, 2010). Ocelots have been declared a federally endangered species (Tewes, 2001). They are native to South and Central America as well as Mexico (FWS, 2010). Texas is a far north as the wild cat has been found, but a few have been noted to have lived in Arizona and Louisiana in the past (Campbell, 2003, Moore, 2013). A feature that denotes it from other cats is the parallel striping descending down the neck and above the eyes. It is a medium sized cat with body size resembling the bobcat, weighing between 24 and 35 pounds when full grown (FWS, 2010).

Do you ever wonder why people think panthers is its own species? Well let me tell you how they are actually not. Panther don’t even exist even though they do call black cats panthers. Many people say that they are its own species, but they aren’t once you learn that they are leopards you won’t consider them its own anymore. They are related to leopards and i’m going to tell you how they are, but in other reasons they are a little bit of differences between the two of them they have many similarities as well. There actual name of the cat is black leopard. There basically black cats that are called like this. So therefore this will be about how different and similar they look from regular leopards, On how their intelligence is extremely well from other animals/ how protective they are as well, and How their heights, weight and size are different than the other big cats that they are related to or considered. All in all the these topics will describe what black leopards really are.

In Christine Hauser’s article in the New York Times called “The Snow Leopard Is No Longer Endangered. It’s Still at Risk.”, highlights that in recent studies the snow leopard population is no longer an endangered species. However, the article states that the population still needs to be monitored closely because although they are no longer a “very high risk” they still pose a “high risk”. The approximate number of snow leopards in the wild is about 4,000. This number is up from recent years, obviously, but this doesn’t mean the snow leopard is safe. Numbers could potentially fall again because of several factors including habitat loss and poaching (Hauser, Christine). Some reasons they are so sought after by poachers is because they possess

The results were appalling. The researchers found that 97% of all animals and birds will fall victim of change their living conditions. The mammals will suffer the most. Experts warn that polar bears, among other animals, are in danger of extinction. No ice means lack of their natural habitat.

Some unusual facts about the cheetah are that unlike other cats, they cannot climb trees. They also cannot roar, but they can purr very loudly. Siblings mostly form the hunting groups. The cheetah is the smallest of all of the wild cats. Streaks under the cat’s eyes or “tear marks” help them to see, because it blocks out the sun’s rays. Their tail is a form of steering to help them to turn tight

Melting of the ice caps --- loss of habitat near the poles. Polar bears are now thought to be greatly endangered by the shortening of their feeding season due to dwindling ice packs.

Polar bears are one of the most endangered species in the IUCN states this is due to Global warming which most of us are still ignorant about, It has a climatic impact on the Arctic by the rising temperature which results in melting the ice glacier and these glaciers are the homes of polar bears that have been disappearing and shrinking making it

To increase the population of Sunda Clouded Leopards, habitat restoration is necessary. We need to focus our efforts on reversing deforestation and improving agriculture landscapes. Deforestation can be prevented by Improving the land on which crops is grown. Farmland is often used for several seasons and then abandoned because the resources in the soil have been depleted. If we restore the nutrients in the soil with fertilizers and manure, there will be no need to remove more forest for more farmland. From there, we could focus on replanting local fauna and rebuilding the damaged areas. By restoring the habitat, Leopards would have a much better shot at living long enough to reproduce at increase the population

"We call them dumb animals, and so they are, for they cannot tell us how they feel, but they do not suffer less because they have no words” (Anna Sewell). There is undeniable evidence that animals are being affected by climate change. Even though the effects are difficult to measure, there are many different ways animals are being affected. With the loss of predator and prey species it affects the life cycles in the food chain. The earth’s climate change causes habitats such as snow, ice, or forest areas to alter, resulting in loss of habitat and food accessibility as well as causing extinction.

Bill Freedmen, author of “Endangered Species—Human Causes Of Extinction and Endangerment” notes, “scientists approximate that present extinction rates are 1,000 to 10,000 times higher than the average natural extinction rate.” These distressing numbers should be acted upon to save the endangered species and avoid the catastrophic change to this planet if these species were to become extinct. In order to produce change, people need to recognize that habitat loss, climate change, and poaching are all factors in why our animal species are going extinct.

What is yellow with black spots, loves to run fast, and is one of the most popular cats in the zoo and wild? Cheetahs, muscular fast cats, are one of the most gentle cats at the zoo and in the wild. The black spots and the yellow coat gives the cheetah a weird and unique physical characteristics. The habitat the cheetah lives in is just as important as the behavior. The cheetah’s behavior is very important to help them survive. The habitat may be important for the cheetah’s survival, but it's the diet that is more important for the cheetah's survival as well. Hunting is a vital part to the cheetah's survival, behavior, and habitat. Fast and gentle, the Cheetah’s physical characteristics, variety of behaviors, hunting abilities, habitat and

1. The predicted range of climate change by 2050 will place 15 to 35 percent of the 1,103 species studied at risk of extinction.

The Amur Leopard is one of the most critically endangered big cats in the world. The Turtleback
