Global warming is the recent and ongoing rise of temperature on a global scale. Over the past century, the Earth's average temperature has risen 1.4°F (Carlowicz, 2010). Global warming is the effect of an excessive amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gasses trap heat from escaping back into space to keep the Earth from freezing, this is called the Greenhouse Effect. An excessive amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap too much heat, thus, causing Earth's temperature to rise.
Grizzly bears in their native habitat are wild animals. The bears (grizzlies, brown, and other varieties) found in Alaska are among the largest on earth. Grizzly-human interaction is best done minimally, if at all: the only reason that bears do not react as quickly as they might to humans (considering them prey) is that in their habitats, they have access to plenty of food and they do not
Today, Louisiana has made extraordinary rescues with species that were once considered threatened or endangered. Due to safe planning and the Endangered Species Act, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service projected to remove the Louisiana Black Bear from the list of threatened species. In May 2015, approximately 350 black bears to 600 black bears existed in Northern Louisiana in which $900,000 was invested to restore its population. Severe habitat loss of the black bear is what initially led to the decline in the population. In 1992, the Louisiana Black Bear was placed on the list of endangered and threatened species and in May 2015, they were officially removed (Wildlife Division - Texas Parks and Wildlife Department,
This includes, the need for lumber in Canada and the need to transport oil. Transporting lumber and oil is resulting in polluted waters, and bears feeding on polluted fish. Deforestation is affecting Kermode Bears because of habitat loss and the need to transport the cut trees. In the future Kermode Bears could nearly be extinct because of the proposed Enbridge\Gateway pipeline that would transport oil from Alberta's oil sands through The Great Bear Rainforest, to Kitimat British Columbia. After the pipeline, the oil would be sent to market on large oil tankers, with a chance that the oil could be spilt.
Since these categories are getting better the Grizzly bears are growing and their population should be able to be controlled by taking them off.
bears did not become this way without people’s help" (Holland n.p.). What this is saying is that people are interacting with bears do not know what can take place. The reason why they can’t reach out to bears is because they if this keeps on happening then it will become a second nature for bears just to come up to people without meaning to scare them. People are the ones teaching bears not to be afraid of them. They should be the ones enduring criticism for making the bears look fatal when it is their
Black bear attacks occurred the most, however, in the Vancouver area with 5 attacks in the past 16 years. The unit is not very large, but it is highly populated by human with not so many bears and so it is interesting to see such results from the data. The grizzlies had the most number of attacks in the 16 years in the Rocky and Central Purcells Unit of BC with a count of 4 each. Both areas are relatively less populated by humans with a good density of bears. This result shows that many of the black bear attacks occur more in human populated areas compared to grizzly bears which may be true because majority of the human population inhabit the southern regions of BC. Grizzlies, inhabit areas further up north while the black bears are found throughout BC, but most common in coastal and southern regions. Herrero and Higgins paper in 1999 also found similar findings where grizzly bears inflicted injuries in backcountry areas whereas black bears attacked in the more front-country closer to
Are you okay with wolves being reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park? Yellowstone is thinking about reintroducing more wolves into their park. The wolves are growing and eating most of the animals there. They shouldn’t introduce wolves back Yellowstone park because there are already plenty of them. Even more of them would kill most of the animals living there.
I think grizzly bear should be delisted because there is a healthy population of grizzly bears in North America. The recovery of bear population has been successful. Human should truly allow bear return to their nature state. After more a decade of grizzly bear research, human have a good understanding of bear behavior . I have that the proposal has been thought through carefully by scientists. The bears should be able to survive and reproduce as long as the national park is protected. I truly believe that wildlife is very adaptable. The main reason for there close extinction is due the loss of habitat and human hunting. Currently, hunting of bear are forbidden and national parks are protect by the government and public. The main factor for
Another observation made by Bass is that the projected estimate of a population growth of 132 to 1,800 is just that an estimation. As Bass stated “ bears do not sit down for a census”(Bass 2). If grizzly bears are listed there is a chance that hunters will accidently over hunt bears once again. If bears are delisted it will not be because the bears will be ready it will be because hunters have been persistently asking for the chance to hunt. If bears are delisted it can be years before they can be relisted and by then it may be far too late.
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
According to the FWC, hunting supports keeping population size in check, fewer bears being pushed into neighborhoods and increasing wariness and fear of humans. Bears were removed from Florida’s threatened species list in 2012. About 300 bears are expected to be killed by an unlimited number of permitted hunters. Florida has an estimated 3,150 black bears in four regions — the eastern Panhandle, Northeast Florida, east-central Florida and South Florida — where the hunts would be conducted, according to the Panama City New Herald. The numbers are based on 2002 estimates for the eastern Panhandle and South Florida, and a 2014 count in the Northeast Florida and east-central Florida regions.
In addition to road building, the presence of agriculture lands near Grizzly bear habitat can increase the chances conflicts as well. Due to the proximity farms, bears see domestic livestock as attractants (Mace & Waller, 1998) and can attack
Bears only become aggressive when they feel threatened. Other than this situation, it is very rare for bears to intentionally attack people. If people were proverly educated on bear safety and how to not provoke them, then there would be a decrease in the amount of bear attacks. Countless bear attacks in New Jersey happen because of hikers invading the bear territory and in some way provoking them. A good solutions is for the state of New Jersey to make trails that avoid bear territories. This way bears and humans have little interaction and conflicts.
Bear is a true carnivore, but if not prevented the black bear could be a huge problem to humans.
