Williams’ Refuge Adaptation is the source and story of a species’ survival. Human beings’ journey across and habitation of the earth’s surfaces demanded resilience to change. As a result each race is a product of the land in which they inhabited. We have grown with the land. Our physical traits tie us to a particular region, a particular place, but what of our emotions?

The Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge is an interesting place to visit. In the early 1900s, over 3 million birds died of alkali poisoning in the Bear River area. The Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge was originally founded to prevent avian botulism and other diseases. Over 60 species of birds breed and raise their babies at the Bird Refuge, and approximately 250 species migrate through there. Alkali poisoning or avian botulism is caused when birds eat a toxin that is created by a bacteria called clostridium
National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) is a serious issue for environmentalists and for the future of the United States. Should the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge be opened to oil drilling? This paper will debate whether or not we should allow Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to be opened to oil drilling. This will also show the impact it has on the environment, and I will show a critical analysis of the current issue of whether or not to drill. History Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is located in the
fields and multiple foundations revolved around veterinary medicine, I developed a persistent sense of accountability and pleasure in providing care for all beings. For example, working with the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, which helps more than 200 species a year, I encountered various rare species of birds who’s existence is irreplaceable in maintaining a homogenous circle of life. I participated first-hand in the surgery, medication and rehabilitation of Blue-winged teals, Sandhill Cranes, Puffins
To Invest in Drilling or to Invest in Our Future? You've almost made it.

America Does NOT Need to Drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge Thesis: If the United States is going to choose to conserve energy responsibly, then our government's energies should not be focused on developing oil in the ANWR, but rather on the topics of conservation through higher fuel efficiency standards in vehicles and by developing alternative energy sources. Conservation, fuel efficiency and alternative energy sources are the solutions that will lead us
and Africa, is a voracious predator, competing with native fish at all stages of its life. The juveniles will consume zooplankton, insect larvae, small crustaceans and other fry fish. Adults eat fish, crustaceans, frogs, small reptiles and even birds and mammals. Snakeheads aggressively protect their young. They are also air-breathers which allow them to survive on land for as long as four days and migrate up to a quarter mile over land making control difficult. Snakeheads carry a disease, Epizootic
