Threats To Biological Diversity In Canada
1. There are of course many potential threats to biological diversity in Canada. Changes to the landscape (generally done by humans), can have a devastating affect on biological diversity, due to the destruction of the previous landscape (whether lakes, rivers, forests, or whatever) for human use.
Another is pollution, there are of course many different forms of pollution, so to be more specific, air pollution can have a devastating affect on biological diversity in Canada. Not only can some emissions kill animals/plants, the change in air quality can also affect human health.
Climate change is another biological diversity affecter, climate change can affect so many different aspects, such as lake levels, river flow, climate (of course), …show more content…
Public awareness can be a powerful strategy as a well-educated public can make way larger strides than just a few researchers or conservation officers can.
Other strategies have been to train other species in how to handle the invasive species. Some invasive species have evolved certain defenses that many native species would never have encountered. This can unfortunately take a few generations to handle, but training and aiding the adaption of the native species is a relatively successful strategy.
4. The biological factors that contribute to a species vulnerability to extinction seem to be mostly related to species that live a long time and breed less. Ironically, if humans were not capable of the “adaption” that we are, we would likely be vulnerable to extinction. The long-livers are vulnerable due to a slower adaption process. Whereas species that breed a ton and die off quickly make quicker room for the new generation to have less competition, whilst also ensuring that at least some of the newer children are capable of surviving in newer …show more content…
Currently Manitoba Boreal Caribou populations are considered to be stable. There are fifteen identified Boreal Cariobu ranges throughout Manitoba.
Manitoba has a ten year Boreal Woodland Caribou Recovery Strategy. The strategy will help maintain or even strengthen the Woodland Caribou populations by ensuring human activity limits the damage it can do on the population. As well, all Stakeholders are doing their part in maintaining the life style of the Boreal Caribou. So, yes, the population is self-sustaining as long as we do our part in keeping them protected from us.
12. Since the Caribou are distributed throughout Manitoba, the stakeholders are obviously going to be all over Canada. As the Manitoba government already dictates on their website, there are Boreal Caribou advisory committee established in the various regions, comprised of First Nations, Metis, industry, government and non-government organizations and local wildlife associations.
A major part is ensuring an human settlement, growth or development does not destroy the caribou's habitats or hinder their seasonal movement. This could be Hydro developments, human settlement, highways or
