There is no question that humans are the dominant ecological force in today’s society. If humans are the dominant force, would it not make sense that humans have the moral responsibility to protect and care for nature? Nature provides humans with the resources to survive, yet humans are the ones who are slowly destroying it. Fortunately, there are people who do believe that it is their moral responsibility to protect nature. The Conservation Movement provides an excellent example of humans being obedient in the fight for protecting nature. Unfortunately, there is also disobedience occurring that is slowing down the Conservation Movement. This disobedience comes in many forms such as the pollution of ocean waters, or the overharvesting of trees in rainforests. These acts occur from humans that are disobedient in their responsibility to protect nature. Out of all the disobedient acts that are occurring in nature, poaching proves to be one of the most severe. In Rosaleen Duffy’s book Nature Crime: How We’re Getting Conservation Wrong, she introduces the topic of poaching by writing, “Conservation International tell us that the loss of wildlife is one of the most important challenges facing our planet, that we are facing an extinction crisis to rival the end of the dinosaurs” (1). If the Conservation movement is going to make progress in the future, humans must put an end to poaching. In order for poaching to end people will have to be willing to work together, while
Recycling and conservation are the solution to climate change and to saving energy. America sends a majority of its trash to landfills when it could be put to much better use by means of recycling or even by burning it to produce energy. Pollution is greatly reduced when recycling because the need to collect new raw materials goes down. Recycling is great because it can help people conserve this Earth for future generations who deserve to have a healthy Earth. Once the United Stated reaches recycling levels of 75%, it would be the equivalent of getting rid of fifty five million cars from the roads in the U.S. each year.
It is hard to imagine a world without forests and open land, but if national park protections are removed, that day may come sooner than we think. National parks take up a large amount of land area in the United States and its territories, covering over 84 million acres (www.nps.gov). This acreage is made up of land entirely, and does not even include the multitude of lakes and rivers that are located in national parks. Many people enjoy visiting national parks and learning about them, and are proud that they are a part of our history. However, legislation is threatening to remove national park protections, which puts the national parks in danger. The National Park System should be protected because national parks are a part of our history, can be used to educate people about the environment, and are enjoyable to visit. There are many people who are interested in national parks and care about them, including myself. I do not believe that national park protections should be removed as park protection removal will be more detrimental than
We as a society have been given a very enticing privilege of being basically guaranteed food because of ample supply in America. However, this is not the case in many parts of the world, where the people must hunt for their own food in order to survive. In those cases, hunting is a complete natural survival skill, and that is when it is justifiable. But It is wrong when our people, who have little need for survival skills, begin to hunt more rare and endangered animals for enjoyment because then we are destroying not only those animals lives, but also their species and this will have long term affects on our environment. For example, “When the North American Gray Wolf was on the brink of extinction, due to trophy hunting and poaching, the elk populations in Yellowstone National Park soared. With no natural predator, the elk nearly ate the aspen tree to extinction. Now, because of the increasing populations of gray wolves in the park, elk populations are balancing out and the aspen tree is recovering” (One Green). If we continue this act of hunting, which is actually called poaching when the animal is endangered, we will destroy our own world by unbalancing nature. By doing such, not only will we destroy our biosphere, we will also destroy humanity itself because we will not be able to live in such unbalanced environments. The environment is not the only problem of hunting. Hunting
Me personally, I think it is good to hunt i really enjoy it. It's actually very safe and very fun. It's not for some people but it's a good and challenging sport you have to be patient. It healthy for you the venison is free and obtaining it through hunting it's healthy for your mind and body. It gets you outside and away from your everyday life and is a nice change of pace. When you're out in the woods hunting it seems like you're free from everything and there's no worries about anything. The fees for the hunting license and taxes on firearms and ammunition fund millions of acres of habitat preservation and improvement. Sportsman contributes about 7.5 million per day towards conservation. It also helps the species the habitat loss has affected the natural range of animals with agriculture increasing food supplies. That results in game populations that must be managed. They could die of starvation or disease if they are not. As we increase our land use proper game use must managment becomes more important than ever. It helps save money and the economy though some people spend thousands on gadgets and gear and other stuff but hunting can be done on a shoestring budget and it will feed your family for free and residence and public land provides access at reasonable cost and 50 pounds a meat can last a long time or a lot of family dinners. According to the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies hunting is responsible for over 600,000 jobs 66 billion in economic activity and 10 billion in state and federal tax revenue.
National parks: protected areas of land throughout the world to express natural beauty. Every year, people visit the many national parks we have here to offer in the United States. Some of which being Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Aradia, Arches, Zion, Joshua Tree, and Sequoia. Two of the most famous national parks here in the United States are the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone National Park. The beauty of these parks attract many tourists year-round and there is always something new happening there.
With that in mind, if one want to live in world in there is nothing better than taking beautiful hike or going camping with the family. Those vacation days camping makes one forget about all the troubles in the world. So get this if as people we continues living the way we are all of that is going to be gone and our kids are not going to be able to experience that nature. Not even that but almost half of the biodiversity is diminished in numbers more animals are going extinct faster than previous years. One important step that I liked from 50 Simple Steps to save the World’s Rainforest and that is to get angry. Henderson describes how in order to have a positive outcome, we need to get angry about the things we love or else action won’t take
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
Everyone should look into "Going Green for Gatesburg" to help save the landfill's. To help keep the earth from being filled with trash from all of the landfills we have because all the extra trash. First, everyone should have a geen trashcan for food waste so you coould use it for compost. Secondly, have a blue trashcan for recycling paper and plastic. Finally, have a black trashcan for the landfill trash. This would help save our money so we dont have to spend it on opening up more landfills.
In addition to working collected, if poaching is to halt, then people must be obedient in their moral obligation to defend nature. In her book Duffy states, “Small changes in individual behaviors, choices about what products we buy and what kinds of conservation we support can make a difference to wildlife” (Duffy 2010). If people do the correct thing, even if it is as modest as not buying animal skin or fur from poached creatures, then their obedience will only impact nature in constructive ways. One person’s obedience may effect another’s and can ultimately ignite a chain reaction of people being obedient and caring for nature. Nature can not stop poaching. Nature can not stop deforestation or pollution. The only ones who can stop these effects
Armrests are very critical to be at chairs where it helps to relax the shoulders, neck and back stress. Armrest could lead to minimizing the pressure on the body by providing good surface area to contact. Armrest should be adjustable in and out, as well as up and down. This allows for convenience and better control of comfort. Armrests shouldn’t be something hard like wood, because this would cause pain for the elbows. The degree at which the armrest lays at with the arm should be more than 90°.
The weak can never forgive forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. Snow leopards are beautiful but we don't know that much about them and I think we need to find out more but not by killing them but studying them in the wild. We need to stop killing them they are very rare in the wild. I will tell you how to save them and how we can help them in the wild.
As a child, I grew up in close proximity to a small wooded area, backed by an elementary school on one side, and a busy neighborhood on the other. It was barely big enough to be called a forest, and often muddy and littered with trash from the nearby school. Nevertheless, it was a source of adventure and awe for me and my siblings. During the summer, we would spend entire days in the woods, bounding through the trees and playing hide and seek. Even during the winter, we could be found out in the woods, sliding on ice in the small swampy pond. That forest, where I spent countless hours in wonderment, has ignited in me a reverence for nature and all its beauty that lingers on to this day, almost ten years later. Those towering trees seemed sacred and invulnerable. Today, however, that already small forest is shrinking, as companies buy the land, one section at a time. Most of the once towering trees have been cleared out and replaced with pristine rows of houses; instead of low brush and bushes, there are now “For Sale” signs. In the same fashion, Earth’s natural resources are being rapidly depleted worldwide in the name of human development. Whether in distress for the environment, or concern regarding the ability of the human race itself to survive, advocates for the concept of sustainability are calling for a change in human attitude and behavior. In order for us to preserve the sacred beauty of nature, and to prevent our vital resources from diminishing further, we need to
With every passing second, the impending doom of our planet becomes ever more prominent. Deforestation is causing an increase in both extinction rate and the rate of climate change. Even the animals that we eat are contributing to climate change. Carbon dioxide is continuously plummeting into the atmosphere, causing temperatures to rise and oceans to die. What are we as individuals actually doing to help the situation at hand? Nothing.
Despite what mankind would like to believe, humans are animals. As multi-celled organisms, we consume other organic matter, change the land for own uses as a beaver would build a dam, and as other mammals, we are all fed breast milk from our mothers when we were young. Yet there is this disconnection and alienation of the human race towards other species. Moreover, through fear of taking action, the convenience provided to us if we simply choose to ignore the environment, and the alienation of other species that are endangered by our actions, the hostile and uncaring attitude of humans towards nature is the core reason for many of the problems in our environment today.
Have you ever wondered how you can survive alone in the wilderness? Would you know how to find or make a shelter, find food and water, and know where you’re going? Well, survival is what we all do in life. We would always live to our true potential and make the best out of life. We would always seek shelter for the night and fill our stomachs if we feel like it. We would always try to survive without dying in the process. Without survival, we wouldn’t even be alive by now. So surviving in nature with shelter, water, and food can be an important skill in life.
