Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, first published in 1962, bright light to how the widespread use of chemical pesticides was posing a serious threat to public health and leading to the destruction of wildlife. While numerous philosophers have written on this topic throughout history, Rachel Carson did an excellent job at creating a more basic way for the general public to comprehend the troubles in the environment at the time. This book was no doubt in response to the increasing awareness in the 1960s

population was down to eighty to one hundred twenty. In efforts, to save the species the Director of Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries temporarily closed hunting season for the Louisiana black bear. Despite the noticeable decline of the bears' population, illegal harvesting and deforestation took place until the

themselves. Pollution, intentional or not, affects animals all around the world. Over the last 40 years, wildlife populations have fallen by 58% (“World Wildlife 'Falls by 58% in 40 Years'”). This percentage will continue to increase if the world does not take action. Pollution's negative effect on wildlife can be solved by using clean energy and properly disposing of waste. Pollution affecting wildlife has harmed many animals in their natural habitat. This occurs because of human actions on the environment

Proposing Taxation of Products to Preserve Wildlife and the Environment “Only after the last tree has been cut down,    Only after the last river has been poisoned,    Only after the last fish has been caught,               Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten.”                ---The Cree People   Wildlife is declining more rapidly each day with innumerable species already on the endangered species list and hundreds more waiting to be put on. Although great efforts

Delisting the Grey Wolf The United States Fish and Wildlife Service are considering removing the gray wolf from the endangered species list once Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming have enough wolves to be deemed sufficient to continue to expand the wolf population, requiring only that each of these three states have a management plan in effect to prevent the gray wolf from becoming endangered again. With the current attitude of the governments in these states, the wolf should not lose their federal

set up an Indian branch of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in the late 1960s. Along with the Smithsonian Institute and other US ecologists, the BNHS also helped to organise the 1969 International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) conference held in New Delhi. In the 1970s, the Indian government took over almost all responsibility for conservation from international organisations and scientists. At this point, the Indian Forest Service and all wildlife concerns were dealt with in the Ministry

Wildlife management has been an area of concern for many residents of South Carolina over the past several decades. Recently, the issue has grown stronger and more present especially when it comes to the wildlife management policies, or lack thereof, concerning the state animal, the Whitetail Deer. Hunters and non-hunters alike, have expressed their concern over the management practices and general thinking when it comes to protecting Whitetails. According to the Department of Natural Resources,

Species that live in marine environments fall under the National Marine Fisheries Service and species that live on land environment fall under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The importation and exportation of endangered species is overseen by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. (How does a species get listed as an endangered

Unwanted Predator Vigorous as a predator, affectionate toward its pack, the gray wolf elicits both fear and admiration among humans. This fear, along with ignorance, inspired a movement to eradicate the gray wolf from the lower forty-eight states in the early 1900’s. By the early 1930’s, gray wolf populations had been completely eliminated from the Rocky Mountains (Bangs, et al 147). In 1973, congress passed the Endangered Species Act that protected any wolves that naturally migrated from

watersheds include salt marshes, bottomland hardwood swamps, fresh marshes, mangrove swamps, and shrubby depressions known in the southeast United States as pocosins. Coastal wetlands cover about 40 million acres and make up 38 percent of the total wetland acreage in the conterminous United States. 81 percent of coastal wetlands in the conterminous United States are located in the southeast. Coastal erosion is major problem in our world today. Water is the biggest factor that shapes the earth. Tectonic
