The habitat destruction is the greatest threat to the Manus Green Tree Snail. Over collection is less of a threat than the habitat destruction. Mostly people buy the shell of the snail which protect the snail which causes the endangerment. To help this problem‚ I.A.R.F’s Environmental Cyber Crimes Unit

The growing rate of extinction can be reversed‚ but we‚ as humans‚ must first realize that it is important to stop the main causes of extinction: exploitation and disturbance‚ global climate change and pollution‚ and most importantly‚ habitat destruction.

The polar bear‚ also known as the white bear‚ northern bear‚ or sea bear‚ is a large bear native to the Arctic. It is one of the two largest land carnivore species and the top predator within its area. It is well adapted to its habitat: it has thick blubber and fur to insulate to it against the cold as well as white colored fur that camouflages it from its prey. The polar bear hunts well on land‚ on the sea ice‚ as well as in the water. The polar bear is a circumpolar species found in and around

The world’s habitats and ecosystem have been damaged by human activity and organic resource consumption‚ which has caused a great loss of biodiversity. If strong efforts are not made to restore and sustain conditions‚ our ecosystem will be destine for collapse. It is imperative that we use TEK (traditional ecological knowledge) as a source of environmental ethics to conserve the earth’s habitats and restore our ecosystem “TEK has a strong potential to contribute to more effective and

Scrub Island is an example of a thorn-scrub habitat. Scrub Island is formed by volcanic activity. (in class discussion) The future development of this area is likely to cause significant damage to the surrounding natural elements on the island. In order for them to carry out the plan for this magnitude of development it would involve the considerable destruction of both the terrestrial and marine environment of Scrub Island. The removal and destruction of key environmental elements such as salt

In biology and ecology‚ extinction is the end of an organism or of a group of organisms (taxon)‚ normally a species. The moment of extinction is generally considered to be the death of the last individual of the species‚ although the capacity to breed and recover may have been lost before this point. Because a species’ potential range may be very large‚ determining this moment is difficult‚ and is usually done retrospectively. This difficulty leads to phenomena such as Lazarus taxa‚ where a species

the majorly affected places on Earth that suffers from this untamed destruction is the forests. I strongly agree that destruction of forests will eventually lead to the demolition of the Earth. Of the 30 million known species on the Earth 28 million are found in rainforests. These species belong to theses forests; it is their natural habitat which we are annihilating by deforestation. These animals without their natural habitat will not be able to survive. One of the major causes of global warming
