The Panthera pardus orientalis or the amur leopard is often called “The Rarest Cat in the World”. Do you know why this is so? Well, let's just say this is not for a very content reason. Amur leopards go by this title because they are endangered. You might think, though, that there probably about maybe 2,000 or more left, but if you think that then you are way off. Do you know how many there are? Take a wild guess. Don’t know? Well, I’ll tell you. According to WWF, there are only an estimated 60-70 left in the wild. There are approx. 220 in zoos across North America, Europe, and Japan. As you can see this species is on the verge of extinction, but there is still hope for this species.The only way this species will be able to survive is if we help. First here is some information about my species.

There is a debate between scientists whether vampire bats should be killed or not. Firstly, ranchers, believe that vampire bats should be killed. For example, Chris Kraul a writer for the Los Angeles Times, shares that bats are feasting and killing off the cattle. Thus, this point proves that bats should be killed(Kraul). Secondly, Researchers believe that bats should be saved. For instance, Kraul reports that the theory for all of the attacks on the livestock are cause by timber cutting so the bats are losing food rich forests so they head toward the cattle for food. Therefore, this confirms that it is our fault for the bats attacking the livestock. Thirdly, I believe that bats should not be killed. To illustrate, Kraul tells bat based research

Last, many endangered animals are becoming more at risk because of the climate change. The habitats of several endangered animals have started to disappear, and their water has become scarce, too. Document B says that these animals include snow leopards, whose forest climate is shrinking, one-horned rhinos, whose vegetation is being diminished by regular droughts and floods, and orang-utans, who are being killed in forest fires in their forest homes. This killing of endangered animals is bringing these species closer to extinction all because of the rise in earth’s

The main problem is that with urbanization people can really stop building our community. One solution is that we can preserve lands to keep them safe. There is also another solution of a bigger issue that may affect all animals, pollution. The problem of pollution is also another factor that affects all animal. There are somethings that people doing to stop this problem. In Pennsylvania the Eastern Spadefoot toads are considered to be a threatened

What’s a bat and star combined that lives underwater? The answer is bat star! Bat star, or ‘asterina miniata’ (scientific name) is a marvelous invertebrate. Its scientific name was way too complicated to comprehend, but bat star had another name called ‘patiria miniata’, which meant vermilion dish (scarlet dish). In this animal report, I will be presenting animal anatomy and appearance (bat star’s physical characteristics), classification (what kind of invertebrate bat star is, how I know it, etc.), habitat (where bat star lives) and diet (what bat star eats and other information about bat star’s food).

This lab report focus on the risk of extinction of the panther species of Florida due to habitat loss (urbanization), collisions road kill, intolerance and poor genetic diversity have been confined to this animal to live in a small part of South Florida become one of the most endangered mammals on the planet. About 160 cats remain in the wild. Therefore the objective of this report is to disseminate knowledge regarding the extinction of native species by identifying the mortality, its causes, area of action, level of ecosystem and possible solutions to prevent their extinction

Many women across around the world are victims of abuse. A handful of them is harassed and faced unfair treatment. In fact, domestic violence gets so bad and many individuals lose their lives. The number of U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan is 6614. In contrast, in the same period of time, 11,766 women in the United States were murdered due to domestic abuse. A short story called “The Bats”, written by Chitra Divakaruni is a tale in which a girl and her mother escape to a far relative due to constant and traumatizing abuse. However, this is a repetitive process due to the fact that the mother returns upon believing that the father has changed and will treat them both differently. Due to the fact that the mother returns

In Christine Hauser’s article in the New York Times called “The Snow Leopard Is No Longer Endangered. It’s Still at Risk.”, highlights that in recent studies the snow leopard population is no longer an endangered species. However, the article states that the population still needs to be monitored closely because although they are no longer a “very high risk” they still pose a “high risk”. The approximate number of snow leopards in the wild is about 4,000. This number is up from recent years, obviously, but this doesn’t mean the snow leopard is safe. Numbers could potentially fall again because of several factors including habitat loss and poaching (Hauser, Christine). Some reasons they are so sought after by poachers is because they possess

During my travels, I took a trip to Costa Rica to enjoy the beaches, the views, the surfing, as well as to see my favorite animals, sloths. I found myself exploring the Sloth Sanctuary of Costa Rica whose mission is to place focus on the rescue, rehabilitation, release and research of sloths and conserving the Costa Rican rainforest. Many of the sloths in the sanctuary were recovering from wounds due to human interference. While sloths have evolved over 64 million years making them perfectly designed for a quiet life in the rainforest, humans are encroaching on sloth homes much faster than our lazy friends can adapt. Unfortunately, due to the increase in habitat destruction over recent years sloths are at a higher risk for extinction.

Wildlife Conservation: Research Paper Between the years 1970 and 2010 about 50 percent of the world’s wildlife have been lost due to deforestation, poaching, overfishing, and overhunting (Dell’Amore). 5 million African elephants roamed the Earth not too long ago but currently there are roughly only 470,000 elephants around today. The novel, The White Bone by Barbara Gowdy is a story of a family of elephants that must take a journey to overcome the destruction of their habitat and poaching as well. The one thing that they are searching for is a “White Bone” that is said to have the power to reverse the drought and protect them from those that hunt them. The book not only provides the outside forces that are pushing the elephants, it also gives

For this science assignment, I have chosen to write about the snow leopard. The International Union declared this animal endangered in 1972 for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. It is estimated that there are 4,510 to 7,350 snow leopard left in wild. The reason I decided to write about this particular animal is that it is not a very recognise mammal in the world. There are not a lot of people in the world that even know what a snow leopard is, and they would not be alone. Pantera Uncia is the snow leopards binomial name, and many scientists feel that the name fits very well with the actual animal. It is one of the largest cats in the world and is known by how unique it is. An intriguing fact is that the animal does roar like other large cats.

Several plant species like nuts and kernels are endangered due to overexploitation. Animals are also endangered now such as gorillas, chimpanzees, guenons etc. “In fact, the lowland gorilla which is endemic to the Cross River National Park at Mbe Mountain is seriously endangered through hunting and habitat destruction,”. Not only plants and primates, amphibians are also affected by deforestation. Several species of fruit bats, fish, snails etc. are also threatened (Mfon et al, 2014 p.86).

One specific examples of a species that has had some success with the Species Survival Plan is the Amur Leopard. The Amur leopard is critically endangered with only an estimated 30 to 40 adults left in the wild. The Species Survival Plan thus far has been able to boost the population with an estimated 50 adults to be in the wild by the end of 2015. This would be a 75 percent increase from the estimate numbers in 2012. Before the Species Survival Plan, inbreeding was a danger to the integrity of the Amur Leopard, but with the increase of the wild population and the population in zoos around the world, the species looks to continue its rebound (Amur Leopards).

The rate of deforestation is increasing and the tropical forests are falling at approximately 140,000 acres per day (Miller & Tangley 1991: xvi). The forests are crucial to the environment. They are important in minimizing erosion, providing a stable habitat for many animals, and helping to keep the environment clean. Deforestation has devastating effects, not only on the biological dependents within the depleted forests, but also on the surrounding human-populated communities.
