Polar Bear Endangerment

An endangered species is a plant or an animal at risk of becoming extinct. Scientists have estimated that up to one-third of species in the U.S. are at a high risk of extinction. In addition to donating millions of acres of land, this is essential to the recovery and survival of the endangered; the Act has shown a ninety percent recovery rate for species in the U.S. The main causes of endangerment include loss of habitat, excessive hunting, and pollution.

In today’s world, hardly any species of wildlife become extinct from natural causes. Europeans hunt animals to such an extent that we classify it as overhunting. We destroy their habitat, and introduce other animals that are a threat to endangered animals or are competition for resources and food. Habitat destruction is the greatest threat to both animals and plants.

Imagine one minute running freely on the vast green terrain surrounding you, then the next locked up in a cold, hard, cage. It sounds horrible, right? Who would want to be locked up with minimal area to stretch your legs, and have people staring at you constantly? I for one, would hate that. I imagine that most animals locked up would share the same feelings. I personally, am against animals being caged. They do not deserve that kind of lifestyle and should not have to live with it just because humans pay money to see it. Animals are suffering greatly from being locked away. When an animal is bought, traded or given to a zoo, the animals rights are stripped away from them.

Although the natural ecosystem is a dynamic system that is always changing in response to environmental changes ("Invasive Alien Species in Canada." Government of Canada, Environment Canada. Government of Canada, 19 July 2013. Web. 8 July 2015. . ) . Invasive species affect the ecosystem in a negative way, both in the short term and longer term altering not only the habitat but impacting native species abundance and richness. Invasive species are successful at adapting to new environments so readily because they are generalist. Meaning that they have traits and physiological characteristics that allow them to thrive in variety of conditions, they don’t have any predators in the new environment and they are able to reproduce quickly ("Characteristics of Invasive Species." Web. 8 July 2015. .).

According to The Endangered Species Act of 1973, the term “endangered species” means a species which is in danger of extinction. The term “threatened species” is any species which is likely to become endangered. A species may be endangered, threatened, common, or abundant in different regions at the same time. For example, the Bald Eagle was common in Alaska but endangered in the lower 40 states of the United States. The primary reason for why species become endangered or threatened is because of the loss of habitat. Unfortunately, habitat loss appears to be evitable until humans minimize their consumption of natural resources. Unlike humans, who are capable of modifying their surroundings to cope with harsh or changing environmental conditions,

Polar bears are one of the most endangered species in the IUCN states this is due to Global warming which most of us are still ignorant about, It has a climatic impact on the Arctic by the rising temperature which results in melting the ice glacier and these glaciers are the homes of polar bears that have been disappearing and shrinking making it

Rising temperatures and melting polar ice has led to a rapid decline in the populations of polar bears in the last 100 years. The ice is melting faster and taking longer to refreeze making it hard for polar bears to hunt for food and to den and increase their population. Polar bears are often seen as a flagship species, and are generally used as the “cover child” so to say, of global warming campaigns. Factors such as climate change and thinning of the ozone over the poles are having a major impact on their survival. However, in the past century, their populations overall have been declining, and they are in fact considered endangered. Between over hunting, loss of habitat, and loss of hunting and breeding grounds, the polar bear populations

The polar bear (Ursus maritimus) is the biggest terrestrial mammal in the Arctic. He is also considered as an animal with a circumpolar or broad distribution in polar regions. The conservation status of bear remains problematic, according to the global warming that is happening now. If further managements are not implanted, polar bear population`s will disappear in the future. The polar bears live in the Arctic, an ocean surrounded by land. The Arctic has a very low species diversity and polar bears the first animal into the food chain. Also, the Arctic has cold winters which are not suitable for some aquatic species. With global warming and interglacial period, the ice and snow began to recede about 20.000 years ago. The rate of ice loss has

Polar bears are one of so many animals that are going extinct . The polar bear is a bear who is a carnivorous whose native range lives in the Arctic Circle encompassing the Arctic Ocean, its surrounding seas and surrounding land masses. The polar bear is going extinct for many reasons but the main reasons is that there is ongoing and potential loss of their sea ice habitat because of climate change.According to WWF “Polar bears were listed as a threatened species in the US under the Endangered Species act in May 2008. The survival and the protection of the polar bear habitat are urgent issues.”

The polar bears are dying rapidly, and if we don’t start thinking about the environment then they will blow out to extinction. Polar bears, known as the bears of antarctica, are magnificent animals. They are the top consumer for most prey. Without them, the secondary consumer would overpopulate and eventually lose control and take over.

Habitat loss is one of the most evident effects of climate change on animals. Forests, as well as deserts support many forms of life. It is the home of insects and animals like bears, and birds. If forests will be cleared out for the development of land for families, business and farming purposes, animals will loose their homes and food. Because of deforestation, many of the trees and the other plants that provide food to the herbivorous animals will get extinct at a faster speed. Droughts caused by global warming could dry up 90 percent of central U.S. wetlands, eliminating essential breeding habitat for ducks, geese and other traveling species (National Wildlife Federation). Climate change is the main reason to wildlife's survival and putting natural resources in danger. The change in temperature caused by global warming has many effects on the habitats of animals. The melting ice will cause the loss of habitat for species such as the polar bears, penguins, and seals. The arctic ice that is melting makes it difficult for polar bears to hunt. Warmer water will also cause the population of fish such as trout

United States have announced climate changes globally caused alarm that allows European involvement to work together for the purpose to slowdown process of extinction species. It have occurred throughout our planets many species developed as other die out balance the ecosystem in result spices are loss for ever. The importance of these concern have accelerated extinctions can be directly caused to human impact upon the natural environment in the form of hunting, fishing, agriculture, development, pollution, habitat encroachment and disease (European Union). I n 1973 the Endangered Species Act (ESA) was established to represent important environmental laws success stories. In corresponded with Carlos Aim Endangered Species Act

Back in 2014, Corey Knowlton was the target of countless death threats and criticism. The cause for all of it was his accidental purchase of a hunting permit. He had paid $350,000 at an auction for a hunting trip to Namibia to kill an endangered species which caused a lot of backlash. The endangered species was the black rhino. Most people seen this as a harmful move for the black rhino species but what most people fail to realize is that it is in fact an effort to help improve and preserve the conservations of these animals.

When I started to volunteer at the Animal Rescue League of Iowa I didn’t think very much of it. I needed volunteer hours and I love animals so I thought it could be fun to go out there and see what I could do to help. It was also an opportunity for me to hang out with a few friends. At that moment I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. Now I do.

With nearly millions of animals dying each year from being captive, or endangered species being hunted down and killed, we need to discover a new way of displaying that our world is full of beautiful animals and wildlife. Wild animals are suffering both physically and mentally from the lack of freedom that confinement imposes. These harmful environments are preventing animals from having the opportunity to live in, and be exposed to their natural habitats. Keeping animals imprisoned in cages and small enclosures just for the sake of human observation causes stress and frustration, which is risking animals overall health and well being. These morally unacceptable and cruel actions of retaining wild animals in captivity is certainly wrong.
