Threatened species

The loggerhead sea turtle, Caretta caretta, is a threatened species with a highly migratory behavior and shifting habitat requirements depending on maturity (NMFS and USFWS 1998). The loggerhead nesting grounds are typically in warm temperate regions (NMFS and USFWS 1998). In the original listing from USFWS (1978), the loggerhead sea turtle was listed as threatened throughout all of its range. The document goes on to state that one of the main threats to the loggerhead sea turtle was that it was

animals protected under the federal Endangered Species Act. Among these sixty-two species are the Coosawattee Crayfish , the Altamaha Spinymussel and the West Indian Manatee.These three species are on the verge of becoming extinct because of human interaction with their natural habitats. The Coosawattee Crayfish (cambarus coosawattae) is one of the many endangered species in georgia. Human influences have caused a mass reduction in the number of this species left alive today.

Tellico dam. The main eye attention to this argument is whether we should let the snail darter fish live or not. If we build the Tellico dam to snail darters will die. On the other hand its a big deal because the snail darters are on the endangered species list. In my opinion I'm on the snail darter fish side because I think the fish should live. The cost to build the dam is eighty million dollars. To me that a lot of cash, how about you? I can understand how this case got serious and that some people

are endangered. The Endangered Species Act is a good thing because it has provided a set way in helping to protect different species. The Endangered Species Act was signed by past president Richard Nixon, and it was passed with 99% support from Congress. They wanted to protect different species no matter what. Between 40%-50% of endangered species in the U.S. have made improvement, but others are moving toward extinction. The law has helped in the rebirth of 36 species, but a similar number has disappeared

Endangered Species Act) Endangered Species Act “What is an endangered species?” is a question that needs to be addressed before getting known of endangered species act. An endangered species is a population of organisms which is at risk of becoming extinct due to three possible reasons: it is few in numbers. According to the theory of Exponential Growth Curve proposed by Malthus, a lower population tends to have a lower reproductive rate and thus a higher risk of going extinct; or a species is

lists is as endangered ( South America ), vulnerable ( South Australia ), and near threatened ( New Zealand and Southern Africa ). This species has valuable flesh, but it has particularly low biological productivity, and comparing the situation across regions demonstrates how inadequately managed species can be depleted.” In this IUCN, we can see the increasing percentage of some threatened species not only in the Philippines but also in the whole world. This only means that the

There is an eye opening number of endangered and threatened species on planet earth. It is estimated there is a total of 41,415 species barely surviving for numerous reasons. These endangered species include plants as well as animals. Failing to initiate action to help threatened and endangered species would be blatantly absurd. Due to a prodigious grant I have received, I am now equipped to impact the world by creating a non-profit organization called Endangered No More (ENM). To accomplish its

Endangered species can change a habitat due to their role in the environment. The EPA helps protect these endangered species with the help of National and State Parks in the United States. Each endangered species has different factors of why it is becoming endangered. Endangered species are sometimes caused by their loss of habitat. Reasons for the endangerment of a species can vary greatly from their loss of habitat to high genetic vulnerability to invasive species. Rapid climate change contributes

industry and species preservation. Timber cutting in the Northwest United States is a mainstay of the economy. Although clear cutting is not as environmentally sensitive as selective harvesting and redwood cutting, some is essential to America's continued growth and prosperity. To ban timber operations and to throw people out of work, all to preserve an endangered blue butterfly, is to test the limits and logic of ecological priorities. The national policy of preserving endangered species serves the

should be saved because they are an endangered species, it is cruel to kill such intelligent animals and they are not even safe to eat. Dolphins: An Endangered Species There are many kinds of dolphins in the world. The most common one that we see in theme parks, aquariums and movies is the Bottlenose Dolphin. Fortunately for us, this is one of the few species of dolphins that are not yet endangered. However, there are many other different species of dolphins that are endangered. For example
