Almost all living things have a cycle or a system which they are part of. Most species depend upon each other. “The U.S. for service like parts of the human body, to make functioning hole.” That basically means like a human body to work together with all of its organs humans need animals to work together that way we can all survive. Should we prevent excessive hunting and poaching to help our environment and the fate of the human existence. I think the answer is yes! Saving most of these endangered

A historical context of the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument: United States President, Barack Obama, declared the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument the largest oceanic reserve system in the world through an expansion in protected territory by a presidential proclamation on September 25th, 2014. The reserve system originally was formed on January 6th, 2009 by a proclamation signed by President George W. Bush. The ocean ecosystems now under protection are to the south

recovery in the United States. The Panthera Onca, also more commonly known as the jaguar originates from it’s native land. The Jaguar is indigenous to the Western Hemisphere, where it primarily inhabits the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. Although the historic range of the Jaguar stretched across the whole continent and even into the

This fish can eat 20% of their bodyweight per day, can weigh over 100 pounds and it lives in a place it shouldn’t. (National Park Service, 2014) It is the Asian Carp. This plant can grow a foot a day, can grow up to 100 feet, and grows on anything in it’s way. It is the Kudzu vine. These are examples of invasive species, which are organisms that are introduced to an environment outside their native range, and pose a threat to the native species where they are. The Asian Carp is a collective name

Bryce Andersen McCarthy Period 1 5 April 2017 Water Pollution Water pollution has been an issue for decades here on Earth. Wildlife that lives in or near the ocean are being harmed because of all the trash and waste in the water. For Example: 70% of industrial waste are being dumped into water. Because of all this industrial water, 64% of lakes are not clean because of water pollution, 44% of streams are not clean because of pollution, and 30% of bays are not clean because of water pollution. In

Foreign animal disease, or transboundary animal diseases, has become a concern worldwide as international trades increase and foreign investment restrictions loosen in the recent decades. Transboundary animal diseases, defined as “those that are of significant economic, trade and/or food security importance for a considerable number of countries; which can easily spread to other countries and reach epidemic proportions; and where control/management, including exclusion, requires cooperation between

Copper is another pollutant that at very high levels is toxic and can cause vomiting, diarrhea, loss of strength or, for serious exposure, cirrhosis of the liver (Pure Water Services). In order for copper to metabolized the heavy metal zinc is needed. Zinc helps with copper breakdown but too much zinc can cause a copper deficiency which can also cause problems such as anemia. While copper has some severe side effects there have not been any cases that are related to cancer. In most cases throughout

endangered or threatened because of this. The Bog Turtle This rare turtle found in the United States is the smallest species of turtle in the United States. It can only grow up to 4.5 inches long! This tiny turtle is in two very small distinct populations that are approximately 250 miles away from each other. These turtles are very recognizable by the orange patches on their head. The National Fish and Wildlife foundation says, “In the last 30 years, these turtles have disappeared from more than 50

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

always carefully monitor pollution in our waterways. Pollution can affect the life from plants to wildlife, and even humans. Therefore, having regular water testing is important for maintaining and monitoring pollution, animal populations, and overall water quality. Water testing can consist of PH, hardness, nitrate/nitrite, in addition to bacteria testing. The North Carolina Health and Human Services require far more testing for the local waterways such as testing for uranium and radionuclide levels
