Arctic 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

hunting is consider as a sport, it is imperative to proper conservation efforts throughout the United States and is extremely important to control animal population which also has to do with transportation safety. Also, hunting tremendously supports an animal’s life, by minimizing disease. The benefits overpower the negatives when it comes to ethical hunting; and for this important reason, the division of wildlife closely analyzes and issues a calculated number of hunting licenses each year. Hunting has

during the late 1900s and early 2000s. Humanity has taken most of the blame for some of the species to become threatened, endangered, or extinct. On the other hand, more species develop when others die. Even though the extra space is filled with new wildlife, it’s tragic to lose a small scale but important species. Once a species dies out, it’s gone forever with no point of return. Human activities, including hunting and fishing, are critical factors considered for the explanation of the exotic animal

of the extinction of animals, but now the changes are greatly affected by human activity. In fact, studies show that 99% of endangered species are at risk due to human activity, not ‘natural selection’ (Extinction 2010). Research suggests that the wildlife will continue to decline like it has in the past forty years unless more laws are put into place because they are dying from the effect of air pollution, habitat destruction, and overhunting by humans. History Until 1900, there is no history on

located 66 kilometers southeast of the Louisiana coast, left an oil gusher that was finally capped on July 15, almost 2 months later. This was the largest accidental marine oil spill in history and the largest offshore environmental disaster in the United States (Telegraph, New York Times, BBC News). It is estimated by scientists that over 4.9 million barrels of oil were released into the ocean, about half of the crude oil the U.S. imports each day and worth $400 million (Popular Mechanics, CBC News).

dangerous to waterski or to even enjoy a boat ride down the river due to the Asian carp. These fish are startled easily by boats, and small watercraft. They can jump ten to twelve feet out of the water causing damage to boats and injuring humans. I have heard of people getting cuts from the fins, black eyes, concussions, broken noses and jaws, and even knocked unconscious from this species of fish. Not only are these Asian Carp causing physical damage, they are wreaking havoc on the ecological

Wildlife management is one of the many branches within Natural Resource Management. This branch specifically dedicates its time and resources to doing exactly what it sounds like- managing wildlife and the habitat they live in. However, they do this through not directly manipulating the organisms and habitats, but through the regulations of humans and their activities.It is easier to help animals by controlling human activity than it is to control the animal’s activity. That is why the true focus

How White-tailed Deer Effect Native and Invasive Plant Species Populations in the Eastern United States. Introduction Whitetail deer have come to be known as a keystone species, species known for affecting other organisms in an ecosystem. Deer are known as a keystone species in forest habitats such as in the Eastern United States because they are capable of destroying potential forest habitat of other organisms (McShea and Rappole, 1992). For example, deer have a negative impact on forest ecosystems

Long Island Sound      The Long Island Sound is a vital resource used by both humans and wildlife. The quality of its water is an issue that affects everyone and everything. Scientific studies and continuous monitoring provide evidence as to what actions need to be taken to improve and restore the water quality. In more ways than one, the United States government has devoted much of its time to ensure the revival and protection of the Long Island Sound.      There

As in accordance with the recent and ongoing zombie pandemic, the Department of the Interior entreats the President to take into consideration this outbreak’s effects on national resource conservation and utilization, North American wildlife preservation, and the well-being of Native American peoples. The DOI also offers its suggestions for the containment and temporary relocation of identified undead citizens. The department’s recommendations for further course of action are outlined as follows
