Grizzly Bear Persuasive Essay

The United States Fish and Wildlife Service are considering removing the gray wolf from the endangered species list once Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming have enough wolves to be deemed sufficient to continue to expand the wolf population, requiring only that each of these three states have a management plan in effect to prevent the gray wolf from becoming endangered again. With the current attitude of the governments in these states, the wolf should not lose their federal support under the Endangered Species Act as it would merely serve to cause the wolves to become endangered once again, or at best, held to the absolute minimum population that the states can pass off as “viable, self-sustaining populations”

advocating for the grey wolf to remain on the endangered species list, through his format and use of lists and bolded literature. There do not seem to be any apparent violations within the conventions. The time line of these documents is in very close proximity as both of the memos were written during the month of October on day twenty-seven and twenty-eight, within the year of 2015. Some social and political issues that come into play during these memos is the issue that Oregon’s Commissioners is considering delisting grey wolves from the endangered species list based on propositions that I quote are “...not supported by science, the law or the public.” and “The continued insistence on delisting wolves seems motivated by politics and specious perception that it would make things easier for the agency.” (Page 4). It is apparent that the motive to remove grey wolves from the endangered species list would make it “easier” for the agencies that constantly have to monitor and deal with the problems that arise with having wolves in the state but, the current wolf population in Oregon is roughly eighty to eighty-three animals which is far below the carrying capacity of the state.

The Ursus Arctos otherwise known as the grizzly bear lives in North America around Northern Canada, Alaska, Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. A grizzly bear lives in the wild and hunts for its food such as fish, deer, elk, or any other animal. They live inside of caves for protection from the weather, they will also live under trees or anything that will provide them shelter. I believe that grizzly’s have evolved into animals that can survive in many climates and environments.

I am going to relocate the grizzly bear because, this isn’t a problem of hunting, where the bear needs to be hunted because of any supposed killing or injuries it done, and it was only one bear, so there is no need to reduce the number in the bear population. However, this may could have been or was already a chronic, so I will contact the local Cody, Wyoming agencies to see if shooting the bear is the best solution, if no other solutions work. I also don’t think trapping is an option, when there is no population or distribution estimates in the need of being done, plus trapping is hard work and costs a lot of money implant in large areas, and when the bear has already been located, it will be easy to get from the one of the two stores. I do

The principal cause of all the Human-Grizzly Bear conflict is human population growth. Human population has been increasing exponentially and humans are essentially invading natural environments in which animals like Grizzly Bears thrive. Habitat space for Grizzly bears is decreasing and they are competing for food and space with humans. Habitat destruction by humans leads to urbanization of natural habitats of animals; thus, leaving Grizzly bears to fend for themselves with scarce resources (Mace & Waller, 1998). Urbanization such as road development leads to fragmentation and increasing the chances Grizzly bear interaction with a human, this is because of transport and service corridors, particularly roads, are currently the prime form of humans to access to Grizzly bear range (MacHutchon and Proctor, 2015).

If they don’t, it wouldn’t make sense to have the animal represent the state if the animal doesn’t exist anymore. In an article titled Grizzly Bear Comeback? Fed Move to Delist as a ‘Threatened’ Species, Brad Knickerbocker said, “Government scientists have recommended the grizzly bears in the Yellowstone area no longer need listing under the Endangered Species Act. But environmentalists warn of a potentially declining bear population tied to climate change”(Knickerbocker, 1). Part of the reason people go to national parks is so they can see the wild animals in their habitat. Brad Knickerbocker also said in the same article, “But as with the wolves, which is proliferated beyond expectation, forming into new packs and extending their range, the delisting process for grizzlies likely would be long and not without legal and scientific challenge. Which is what happened several years ago when another attempt was made to take them off the official ‘threatened’ list… when grizzlies were first listed as ‘threatened’ under the ESA in 1975, their numbers in the Yellowstone area had divided to as few as 136. Today wildlife agencies report a population of more than 650”(Knickerbocker, 1). The animal population is going up because the ESA rules are being enforced and people are following the act. The animals can roam free wherever and more people are going to national parks. The parks will have increased business with the animals there versus without them there. If you don't want to have slow business in your national park then you should thank the ESA because they were the ones who helped you have a better running establishment. The people come to see the animals, so it's good for people to see the animals when they want or else they might not come back again. Not all people agree with what the ESA is doing. Some people believe

First, bears should not be removed because it’s their common territory and have lived there for most of their lives. In article 2 it states, “Denali National Park and preserve is home to both black bears and grizzly bears”(National Park Service n.p. ). Since, Denali is home to bears that means Yellowstone National Park and Yosemite National Park is both home to them. If we remove bears we’re taking their home away.

For the family of bears, I am focusing on the two most popular species from this family namely brown bears and grizzly bears. Brown bears are found in many continents including Asia, Europe and North America. Brown bears have the broadest scopes of habitat as compared to other bear species. On the other hand, the habitat of grizzly bears ranges from Alaska to Mexico and it can be as far as east and western shores of Hudson Bay. The grizzly bears are listed as threatened in United States and Canada. They are also listed as threatened by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife

In 2008 the bears were listed by the U.S. Endangered Species Act due to global warming (1). This listing happened because of the ongoing loss of critical habitat for polar bears survival. The arctic sea ice sheets are the primary habitat for the bear. The bear lives, and hunts exclusively on these arctic ice sheets. Increasing global temperatures in the world’s oceans are shrinking the arctic ice for longer periods of time during the late summer months, leaving polar bears with limited hunting and breeding

The article “Love in the time of climate change: Grizzlies and Polar bears now mating” explains some of the effects of climate change on bears. Now this days more and more pizzlies or grolars, mixed of the Polar and Grizzly bears are seen in parts of Alaska and Western Canada. The bears are mating with other possible kinds of bears rather than not mating at all. Both of this bears are mating because this two different kind shares some similarity and shares same branches of their evolutionary tree. The polar-grizzly crossbreed is one of the most recent hybrid along with coywolf, a mix of coyote-dog-wolf, and a lynx bobcat. This mix breeds have been spotted

An endangered species is defined by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service as "an animal or plant species in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range." In the United States, these animals can be listed under and protected by the Endangered Species Act. Endangered Species in the United States include the black-footed ferret and the California red-legged frog. The International Union for Conservation of Nature also keeps a Red List of Threatened Species, the most widely recognized list of endangered and threatened species. On this list, for example, are all the surviving subspecies of tiger, which range from endangered to critically

The Ursus Maritimus, otherwise known as the polar bear, has walked this planet with their massive webbed paws for hundreds of years. They have sustained many different difficulties in life but the most recent issue, global warming, is one that these animals just might not overcome on their own. The polar bear’s population is rapidly dwindling and scientists discuss why exactly we should save these giant white sea bears. There are two different sides to this argument. One side is referred to as the Naturalists. These people believe we need to let nature take its course. They believe we should not interfere, and instead let the animals and the ecosystem work on its own. On the other hand, the Anti-Naturalists believe we must step in and help preserve the polar bear population. They believe that we cannot let the Ursus Maritimus die out for a various array of reasons.

Lack of national and international policy agreements towards global warming worsens the environment in which polar bears live. Climate change and global warming have become significant issues environmentally. Although humans suffer greatly, there is a greater risk on our world’s wildlife. It is evident that there is a lack of interest towards wildlife when it comes to global warming. The human population is an obvious worry. Seeing as wildlife does not get as much attention, it is possible that some of these animals may go extinct. Polar bears (Ursus Maritimus) are carnivores in wildlife that live in the arctic. As global warming expands, the Arctic is having a difficult time remaining cold. Polar bears have severely declined over the
