The millions of American Bison thriving in the Great Plains were exterminated in under two decades. Five main factors contributed to this massive eradication. These factors are: technology, economics, demographics, changing boundaries and the role of government. Each of these led to the slaughter of the bison in the Great Plains and each work together in a very simple order. The most important factor that led to the extermination of the bison on the Great Plains was the role of government. It was the factor that preceded all of the other factors. If the government had not gotten the territory or enforced laws in the land to combat the killing of the bison, there would not have been such a depopulation of the bison. Each of the factors led directly and indirectly to the extermination of the American Bison which all started with the government’s role - both having land for the citizens to settle and kill bison and the government’s indifference to the killing of the

The American Bison, more commonly known as the Buffalo is a humpbacked wild ox. Historically, the American bison played an important role in the Great Plains. They graze on native grasses and actually disturb the soil with their hooves which allows plant and animal species to flourish. Prairie dogs prefer areas grazed by bison where the grass is short so they can keep a lookout for hungry predators, and wolves once relied on bison herds as a major food source. Today, wild bison are beginning to return, mainly in national parks but they still need to more room to roam as they are still being hunted outside the park’s safe borders.

Restoration of the Bison is something that has been going on for the past two decades. As a matter of fact, several Native American tribes have come together to form the Inter Tribal Bison Cooperative (ITBC) which has been set out to bring bison back onto the American plains in the midwest. Bison have an intimate relationship in the traditions and rituals of Native Americans. The importance of bison within the culture has made bringing back the bison an important issue in the preservation of wildlife. However, some of the arguments made by the ITBC show that the bison's economic value should be the main factor why they should be brought back. Yet others involved in this cause suggest that buffalo restoration

As we began this assignment, we naturally began thinking of all of the possibilities of actions and tasks we could make the robot preform. There were so many possibilities we didnt know where to start. We quickly came to the understanding that, as we did not know basic concepts of how the robot pieces would function, we build the basic design that came with it, and proceeded to amend our robot and our programming as we experimented with different programming inputs. This is why we have two main questions in our concept map, one for ourselves for the project at hand, and one for applications after. We distinguished “How can we use robots to complete simple tasks” and “ how do we design a robot,” because we are separating the design process from its actual use. The way in which we started this project also took us down a rather broad path to encourage further expansion of innovation in regards to both design and usage. We hoped that by creating a template robot, it would lead it open to greater possibilities to enhance the diversified thinking of learners.

I am taking a class called global environmental issues and heard about how reintroduction of wolves has had very positive impact in Yellowstone, but we did not go much deeper than just stating so.

Through the years, there has been an ongoing argument on whether or not the reintroduction of the Mexican Gray Wolves will benefit or destroy wildlife. The articles show that Mexican Gray wolves will benefit due to the reintroduction, and help the local surrounding lands. Because wolves are so miss understood, people assume the worst. Wolves are just like people living with families and trying to survive. The Mexican Gray wolves are a great way to help bring back balance in the local ecosystem. They will also improve the local ecotourism. They will help with the re-vegetation and help the bird population return to its former glory.

A man was strolling through the Yellowstone National Park, and the walk had been quite peaceful while the man roamed the scenic views of bison grazing. The man planned a long exercise, but that idea was delayed after a bison had charged unpredictably. The wounds were too severe to walk to the closest human aid, though the life on hold was saved when the man contacted a ranger with a walkie talkie. It was The Roamer RedBot that had provided a walkie talkie, because it strolled along just to ensure safety. For these reasons, The Roamer as a robotic invention will modernize park technology in social, economic, and political ways to improve the quality of life through it's services.

Students in the 5th grade of the Old Donation School were assigned to build, code, and design a redbot to perform a public service. One of the groups, which this essay is about, made a Helpbot designed to bring medication or personal needs to the disabled. The groups were given many months to work on actually building. While some groups were still building, this group started coding. The redbot gave knowledge of how to do basic coding. Then, the group was given the task to build a public service redbot for the redbot expo at the end of the year. There were many problems, but the group finally made an idea.

With the raised tracks, herds of bison and buffalo are not able to cross over easily. That or the times when trains come by, travelers decide to shoot the animals for sport, not like us who actually need the beasts for food, clothing, and building. It isn’t hard to believe that in near time, the herds of buffalo will be completely wiped out. So in that belief, they have hypothetically already endangered the buffalo that once flourished in the wide areas.

The main part of the buffalo people wanted was the buffalo tongue which became the sole purpose of their slaughter. Over several years, the buffalo population of the West went from millions to a few hundred solely left in Yellowstone. After Edgar Howell, was discovered poaching the last wild buffalos left in Yellowstone there was a call-to-action according to PBS. Finally, in 1894 President Cleveland would sign the "Act to Protect the Birds and Animals in Yellowstone National Park” (Episode 2, Page 2). The massacre of the Wild Buffalo however, last through the 1800s before there was true modern education and environmental

One of the most legendary creatures of the northern hemisphere is the wolf. One of the most popular places to spot a wolf safely is Yellowstone national park. But, the wolf is one of the most feared creature as well therefore the wolf was starting to be killed and removed in the early 1800s from Yellowstone. By 1926 they were all gone from Yellowstone national park. then some wolf lovers decided to take a stand and make sure that wolves would be put back into the park because its apart of the culture of the wolves. Many rancher think this was a horrible idea because of their livestock. But it is a good idea because Yellowstone national park could potentially be saved because fo these beautiful creatures. It could also help the economy around the area. it would also help because it would give scientists an opportunity to study what happens when a preditor returns to the area.

When you hear about an animal that stands up to six and a half feet tall and weigh 2,200 pounds; with horns, two feet long curving up for fighting and able to run 40 miles per hour. You automatically think a beast or monster, which you’re not that far off. Being the largest land animal in North America, bison have often been called beasts and as an above, they deserve that title.

Yellowstone is one of the largest, intact, temperate ecosystems in the world, and has all of the original species from when Europeans first started settling in the united states. Garrott talked mainly about wildlife issues in Yellowstone national park, including the commercial slaughter of bison and their re-introduction to the park, the introduction of non-native mountain goats and their possible impact, complications between the agriculture industry and native bighorn sheep, and the fight to decide the registration of wolverines as an endangered

These robots are known as the ICub, and excel at interacting with the human population safely. One of these robots, known as Molly, exists in Bristol, England (Honigsbaum). This small combination of metals, wires, and computer components actually helps the elderly with simple tasks that they would ordinarily need help with. In addition to helping the elderly, the ICub can also help clean the work space of individuals. Simon, an upper-body humanoid, assists in moving a variety of items and cleaning workspaces. This robot was developed at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and statistics state that, “Simon could tell with close to 80% accuracy whether someone was paying attention or ignoring him.” This proves that it is indeed possible to create helpful machines that can also interact with humans through the regulation and extra development of artificial intelligences. All of the activities that the ICub Robots partake in are completely beneficial to the global society and will have a large impact on the culture of the world as a whole. An added plus to the push for technological development is that countries can use these advancements as a way to better the future of their state. These nations can accomplish this through the integration of robotic aids into their school systems. An instance in which this concept is used occurs in the Connecticut school system.

Imagine if you would not need to help Mom and Dad, carrying stuff for them or cleaning up after them! You can have a robot help you with your daily activities such as cleaning your room, washing your car, and even wiping for you once you are done using the bathroom. A robot is a machine designed to complete or carry out multiple tasks when programmed to do so. Robots play a huge role in discovery, such as Mars Curiosity Rover, that is used to observe Mar’s surface and environment. We have used Robots to study the moons surface to see what it is like and to learn more about space. We use robots today in military by using them to disarm bombs and find enemy locations. Robots will have a positive impact on our future, because robots will help us to discover more in the ocean and space, help us save lives, and aid in the military.
