Education is vital to improve this threatened species from extinction
The Endangered Species Act of 1973 states that the terms ‘Endangered’ and/or ‘threatened” may be used when a species ‘is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range, or are likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future.’The Lesser Prairie-Chicken (LPC) was placed on the threatened species list in the spring of 2014. Since the early 1800’s the population of the LPC has ‘declined significantly’ (NRCS Leaflet 1). I am a 2nd year Pathways Rangeland Student Intern for the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). I have worked in the Natural Resources field for 12 years and have come to an understanding that informing the public is vital for the continuation of the earth, as we know it. In this informative and argumentative essay I will describe how habitat loss, climatic changes (both natural and human caused), and human activities have and continue to push this species to the brink. Educating private landowners and the public is key to produce resistant plant

The mission of the NRCS is to help producers understand the need for vegetative cover during all seasons, so that soils are not lost and increasing the producers’ yield for the benefit of both the producer and the nation. We develop property management plans, restoration plans, crop rotation guidance and many other services that aid producers. Keeping in mind what I have stated about the LPC habitat and the guidance available from the NRCS, these are a list of best management practices (BMP’s) that can be implemented by producers to improve both native rangelands, crops and wildlife habitat. The cost-sharing programs will be discussed afterwards.
Best Management Practices
I believe that our convictions can be pernicious or used for malicious intent. When a clash of opinions is mishandled that there are frequently repercussions and often calamitous outcomes follow.
Tom Robinson, a black man in To Kill a Mockingbird is one of the main characters in
The mustangs run with a spirit that makes them legendary here in the west. On a bitter cold morning, dozens of wild horses descend off the mountains of eastern Oregon, galloping miles across the rangeland. Stallions and mares, guiding their young. It is an incredible sight, but also one that infuriates many hard working Americans. Horse’s hoof prints in cattle grazing lands, drinking the water supply dry. Farmers are losing their grazing rights before their cattle even step foot on the property. There is another animal taking over the land. Wild horses.
: CORRECT Agricultural practices improve wildlife habitats and lead to increased species populations in farming communities.
To begin with, in 1869, The Government of Canada, Great Britain, and the Hudson's Bay Company sign an agreement whereby Rupert's land is sold to the Dominion of Canada. Métis, Indians, and settlers are not consulted. And this event affects at least 10,000 Metis and other people who already living in Rupert’s land.
In the beginning of the 20th century Texas discovered a major economic game changer. In January of 1901 in Spindletop, Texas oil was discovered in the form of a 100-foot geyser. Little did Texans know that their lives and economic situation would be changed forever. Right after the discovery most of the early profits made from oil went to easterners. When the 1920’s came around oil became a major economic engine. Causing major social changes in job opportunities, education, marriage, and sports.
Throughout the 1800’s there were many crucial debates on the idea of slavery. One of the biggest controversies in this time was the Kansas-Nebraska act, passed in May of 1854. The act was the deciding factor of if Nebraska and Kansas would be a slave or free state, it would later repeal the Missouri Compromise. Lincoln was considered a very moral man, he used his political power for what he believed in. Lincoln would be considered a strong advocate for the abolitionist movement. Although with this Lincoln did share the racial views of his time, he still spoke out against slavery and was considered to free slaves. Lincoln’s good out ways his bad in the questions between emancipator and racist, Abraham Lincoln will always be thought of as the
Students, parents, and siblings filling up the block with cheers, everyone screaming out their preferred High School team’s name. I went straight to the student section upon arriving, it was quickly filling up, hardly any space to move. The football teams then got on the field and the Palm Desert side went wild, water flying everywhere and students stomping to add noise. La quinta were the first to score, running the ball with very few 9 yards to go, scoring in the first quarter. Although, Palm Desert tried their best to get back in the game shortly after intercepting the ball to make the Palm Desert side get overwhelmed with excitement and have the coach run and hug the player who intercepted. Halftime came with La Quinta leading 7-0, close
I am writing on behalf of the 8th Grade Class at Monticello Trails Middle School to help achieve the goal of creating a Goodnight Kansas book. This topic has caused a commotion throughout our school because we think we deserve a book to boost our popularity. We say we deserve this because Kansas has many interesting attractions that kids would be interested in reading.
The NCCP is designed to allow Orange County and participating counties the opportunity to develop plans for saving what remains of the CSS among the existing development. In this process counties are asked to account for future urban and farming development. Stakeholder participation is important in this process for obtaining input from various sectors of the community. Businesses and cities can come forward with plans for future expansion and development, managers of habitat can come forward with goals and limitations of the habitat and scientists can come forward with recommendations for size and structure of habitat and ideas for restoration to enhance corridors between habitat.
Betrayal and loneliness are two of the hardest emotions to encounter in life. Nevertheless, at some point everyone will experience and be forced to deal with them. This is made even harder when they are caused by someone you love and trust. In Meredith Hall’s “Killing Chickens”, she uses various literary devices such as metaphor, simile, and imagery as she processes her husband’s affair and describes having to kill chickens. Hall’s literary nonfiction is based on the happenings of a specific day that was truly hard to handle after being deceived by ones she loved:
Earth has about 20,000 different species of bees, which are wonderful insects that have impacted Earth in many ways for at least 100 million years. The following few paragraphs will include information on what bees do to help the Earth, life in the hive, and their deaths. Paragraph one will include information on what bees do to help the Earth. Paragraph two will include information on how bees live their lives. Paragraph three will include information on death and extinction of bees.
Yet, as a city girl turned country girl, I have never heard of these programs or even the NRCS and what they do. I hope in the future as families turn to rural areas to ‘get-away’ from the urban environments that they can learn about the NRCS and take advantage of the programs they have and obtain good advice to care for their land.
Which came first the chicken or the egg? The chicken and the egg is one of life's oldest questions. The days of fighting on the playgrounds of which one really came first are over, but the question remains the same. Which came first the chicken or the egg? Just look at the question, it is a very tough one. How can a chicken arrive without an egg? How can an egg arrive without a chicken? Many people have varied opinions on this, my opinion is that the chicken came first due to many
The reserve is surrounded by highly modified landscapes dominated by intensive agricultural and horticultural land use. Common land use for surrounding areas include the growing of cereal crops, grapes and citrus (DOC Gray's Bush. n.d).
