``That was the stupidest thing. When you train birds you realize how intelligent they are,'' Nelson said. ``I knew we had to do something to stop it.'' In 1980 Morley Nelson noticed a drop in population of birds of prey in Idaho. He came to Boise to fix this conflict and save the birds of prey. Morley Nelson, with the help of many others, compromised with the government to grant the Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area permanent protection, and saved thousands of birds from being hunted. Growing up on a farm and being involved in World War ll are two factors that had a tremendous effect on Nelson’s ambition to help birds of prey. While herding cattle on his farm in North Dakota, he observed a falcon prey on a duck. That rare …show more content…
Among these were raptors using the power poles for nests, Walt Disney making movies to help animals, and Rachel Carson’s book about the dramatic impact of DDT. The first influence was in the 1960’s Morley started working for Walt Disney, and make many documentaries on the birds of prey ("History"). To solve the problem with the power poles, Nelson made nest platforms so they would not get electrocuted. The first problem was raptors began nesting on the power poles. The birds could get electrocuted other nesting can cause power outages ("Bird Protection"). He helped Rachel Carson ban DDT to protect the birds from extinction. DDT was a chemical to help plants. When bugs ate the plants, they got DDT in their systems, and when the birds ate the bugs, their eggs softened. They got so soft that when the mothers incubated them, they would get crushed ("birds, people"). All his research while making movies with Disney and working with Rachel which all made him more connected to the …show more content…
Nelson developed a platform for the Raptors to nest on so they would not get electrocuted by the power lines. He also sees him on a PBS special sharing his love for birds with John Denver (“Statesman”). Morley Nelson inspired John Denver during filming. They were friends for many years until Denver moved back to Boise (“Statesman”). Cool North Wind, a book written by Stephen Stuebner, is all about Morley’s incredible life and his passion for birds ("Senate Approves"). Morley Nelson had a very large short-term impact as well as a long-term impact

He transformed the economy of the U.S through his business skills. It was because of his wise choices and investments that helped him rise to the top. It also made him a captain of industry because he owned every step of the process of producing steel, from creating it, to transporting it, to selling it. He didn’t keep his wealth all to himself. After selling his business, he spent the end of his life helping others and donating his money to good causes. Making positive contributions to the country is another reason why he was a captain of

It was only less than a century ago that our nation's bird, the bald eagle, was almost hunted to the edge of extinction. Thankfully, conservation efforts were realized and now, after many years of hard work, the bald eagle's population has once again become stable. However, this might not last long as the rising wind industry could potentially wipe out all the hard work done from the conservation efforts. This is what David Yarnold, the author of "Don't Throw Bald Eagles Under the Bus," is worried about, and he expresses his viewpoint through various literary devices including allusions, hard facts, and appeal to emotions.
Rachel Carson is a noted biologist who studies biology, a branch of science addressing living organisms, yet she has written a book called Silent Spring to speak about the harmful effects of pesticides on nature. Carson doesn’t write about birds’ genetic and physical makeup, the role of them in the animal food chain, or even how to identify their unbelievable bird songs, yet strongly attests the fight for a well developed environment containing birds, humans, and insects is just and necessary. To Carson, the war for a natural environment is instantly essential for holding on to her true love for the study of biology. Thus Carson claims that whether it be a direct hit towards birds or an indirect hit towards humans and wildlife, farmers need to understand the effects and abandon the usage of pesticides in order to save the environment by appealing to officials, farmers, and Americans in her 1962 book, Silent Spring. She positions her defense by using rhetorical devices such as rhetorical questioning to establish logos, juxtaposing ideas, and using connotative and denotative diction.

In my opinion, “lamb to the slaughter” is a good story to read because it is so meaningful. No one is perfect, Mary seemed to be a good wife, but she murdered her husband because he decided to leave her. Appearances are deceptive, she changed to another person. The way that she hide the murder weapon, the way that she act like a poor widow was so accurate. At the beginning of the story readers think of Mary as an innocent and ordinary wife. but even after Patrick tells Mary that he is leaving her she does not react violently right away. She calmly faces the situation and happily asks Patrick for dinner which he denies. At moment’s notice Bam! Mary hits Patrick in the head and ends up killing him on instant.

So many things he contributed into this world that we use today and just by being an African American is a big thing, According to the site “http://www.blackpast.org/aah/wilkins-jr-j-ernest-1923” “J. Ernest Wilkins was a member of numerous professional societies and has been awarded many honors in his distinguished career including: he has served as President of the American Nuclear Society (1974-1975), Council Member of the
In American hospitals, both African Americans and women are receiving care that is substandard to the care that offered to males, primarily white males. It was found that African American children in the emergency room have a lower likelihood to receive pain medications when they have a case of appendicitis, which is a strong recommendation for the condition’s treatment. Even when the African American children were given medications for pain relief, they were often weaker medications such as ibuprofen as opposed to stronger opioids. Women who seek medical attention for chest pain are more likely to have their symptoms attributed to anxiety or panic attacks. Because of this, women are more likely to die from heart attacks because they don’t

So far it has become evident that humans do not have a positive impact on the overall ecosystem of Yellowstone we have seen bear’s feeding patterns skewed, as well as elk populations devastated. There is yet another animal within yellowstone that has been impacted in a negative way by humans. John P. Beckmann is a conservation scientist who conducted research with several other scientists on the harvesting of energy and natural resources near or in yellowstone. When conducting his research he noticed that the harvesting of energy resources near yellowstone was affecting the pronghorn population. A subclaim that I can derive from my research on this topic is that the harvesting of energy and natural resources makes it tough to keep humans out of the way of
