Hada Gwaii Case Study

Kristof makes it clear the harm being done to the ecosystem by the colossal amount of deer. He starts off by informing the audience that deer is the number one mammal that harms and kills humans. He uses logos by stating “A study for the insurance industry estimated that deer kill about 150 people a year in car crashes nationwide and cause $1 billion in damage”(Kristof par. 4). Kristof states this claim to persuade the audience to believe that deer are a real harm to humans. He is also informing the reader about the huge amount of people that have been affected by deer. Also, he claims that the overpopulation deer possess a greater danger to humans compared to common predators such as bear, wolves and cougars. Making it clear for the audience to spot the unnatural characteristics that the current environmental imbalance is causing. Furthermore, Kristof uses logic when he states “Greenwich, Conn., budgeted $47,000 this year to pay a company to shoot 80 deer from raised platforms over four nights -- as well as $8,000 for deer birth control”(Kristof par. 17). Kristof uses this statement to display his logic which assist’s his point of view. Overall he is informing the reader that hunting should be something people should invest time

Since the reintroduction of wolves into Yellowstone they have created an astounding and advantageous trophic cascade. A trophic cascade is an ecological phenomenon triggered by the addition or removal of top predators and involving reciprocal changes in the relative populations of predator and prey through a food chain. These often result in dramatic changes in ecosystem structure and nutrient cycling. In a three-level food chain, an increase (or decrease) in carnivores causes a decrease (or increase) in herbivores and an increase (or decrease) in primary producers such as plants and phytoplankton according to briticanna (how to make better). The entire ecosystem was able to become whole again because the wolves, a key species, were reintroduced. Now this may seem weird, a predator comes into the area a begins to kill animals, how can this be beneficial in any way? Well the fact of the matter is that it is extremely beneficial. The reason being the problem in Yellowstone was the overpopulation of the elk. These elk had no predators, they were free to roam and reproduce, and they did this very well. Now elk are also a

Not only have the Cree people maintain a connection with hunting, fishing, and trapping lifestyle, but at the same time they have become more significant people when it comes to ‘politics of embarrassment’. They push for greater native regional autonomy while resisting the threats of major resource development and Quebec’s sovereignty movement. There is a bridge between forest lifestyle and the demands of administrative development and political struggle, between tradition and bureaucracy that the Cree created.

“Many plant species have been affected by this, due to deer only eating specific species of plants, some have become overpopulated due to the fact that they are not being controlled by the wildlife in the woods.”

Aboriginal groups are losing what they need to survive. Fish is a primary food source for the Kamayura tribe of the Amazon, and has been for many, many years. It is part of their culture and has been the root of tradition. But now that fish are becoming scarce due to climate change, their way of life is changing as well. This specific nation is losing something

When herbivorous species such as white-tailed deer and elks are the main predators in a habitat, they create an imbalance in the habitat, and force other species in the habitat to go extinct. Natural predation also has a stronger impact in stabilizing or reducing the population of white-tailed deer than human hunting alone. One of the main reasons for the overpopulation of the deer was the extinction of their predators. Every animal in the food web is highly important in keeping the balance in the ecosystem. Yellowstone National Park was a great example of how every species support the

This investigative study included whether gray wolves, a natural top predator to white tailed deer, create a trophic effect by reducing the deer and how it may affect saplings and vegetation in the Great Lakes forest area. The study was not conducted for direct kills, instead it was done to see the effects of the deer population and the plant and vegetation systems surrounding them. The expected effects were that in areas where wolves are less dense in the region it causes an increase of deer having a negative impact on plants and vegetation in the surrounding area. The recolonization of wolves in the area is generating trait-meditated effects in the Great Lakes forest and are

The substance of this paper will be to discuss the discourse regarding the inequalities facing aboriginal peoples living on reserves in the northwestern corner of Ontario. Inequality is not naturally occurring; poverty is not an innate cultural trait that accumulates at the feet of the marginalized (Schick & St.Denis, 2005, p.304). Stephens, Nettleton and Porter stated in the Lancet (2005) “Aboriginal people in Canada suffer enormous inequalities in health and in accessibility to health

For example, the wolves have been growing a lot over the past years there are 400–450 wolves in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. They shouldn’t have wolves in Yellowstone because it will kill the other animals. We don’t want animals getting hurt or even extinct because it would be bad not being able to have enough animals. A couple hunters have been saying that they’ve never

We went to the “sanctuary” to seek wisdom from an aboriginal “Biblumun” elder .The sense of place and “Noongar culture” was very evident from painting, art, craft and building structure. Wayne Webb opened up one of the burning issues such as the federal funding programme which is miss-directed and causing social and health problem for aboriginal communities (money is used for drugs and other things ).The elder said that the money should be used in way that it should help them to maintain their identity. My question was very well answered by elder that Natural Resources Mangers need to communicate, understand and equipped themselves indigenous knowledge if possible. This went well for

In many criminal cases, there is some type of surveillance used on suspects, whether it be of their phone calls, location, or their online activity. Phone calls and text messages, specifically, are collected at all times by phone carriers, and the NSA has the ability to query this data for specific records under the USA Freedom Act, which came into effect after the end of Section 215 of the Patriot Act; the primary difference is that, before, the NSA collected this data themselves and stored it within their own database while the data is now stored by phone companies, though the NSA can still access it. This is done with the goal of giving a constant means of tracking terrorist and similar threats, but this data can also be used in court cases. Similar provisions allow them to collect other data such as e-mails, though data is only supposed to be collected on communications

Cons: This method will be time-consuming and financially demanding (Miller et. al, 1999). Furthermore, there is no certainty in the effectiveness of this solution as it relies on many assumptions and predictions made based on research. The assumptions made may not hold true when the process is carried out. This could cause further complications such as endangering deer species due to

The sexual and the reproductive health in the Indigenous communities has become a cause for concern among the community members on Turtle Island. The social systems and institutions as failed to protect rights of the original land protectors. In this essay, I will be covering the similarities and some differences from two different approaches, to help these communities. I'll be comparing manifestos from both side, the SOGC joint policy statement which predominately government related, and the Native Youth Sexual health network, a grassroots organization devoted to making changes starting within the community. I will be pointing out who the authors are speaking for, along with their backgrounds, their views, philosophies, strategies, and goals. I will also explain which side I agree

"Do you feel the government is doing enough to address the situation of indigenous people in Canada?"

Planet Earth is the one and only home for humans, and it’s their natural duty to protect it and all of its inhabitants. For many people, the fate of animals is of little importance, especially when there are so many of their own species suffering throughout the world. However, only when one has respect for nature can he or she come to appreciate for his or herself. In the past few decades, some animals have progressively come closer and closer to extinction. When compared to demographics 30 years ago, less than 5% of tiger and rhino populations remain in the wild (Congressional). The main culprits for this abominable crime against nature are avaricious poachers who seek personal gain and profit. Poaching is the illegal killing of
