Endangered Species Act Case Study
The Endangered Species Act mandates federal agencies to turn to The Secretary of the Interior to confirm that any legal actions didn’t affect any endangered species or caused damage to natural ecosystems. The Department of the Interior undertook this law to necessitate discussions only for actions ensued by agencies within the United States or in the ocean, a view that the Defenders of Wildlife disagree upon. They believed that actions subsidized by the Agency for International Development could harm endangered species. Two of its members, Joyce Kelly and Amy Skilbred, provided confirmations that they traveled to foreign countries to analyze endangered species in the past and would make more trips in the future. These confirmations were proposed

    Korbert On Rosy Wolfsnails

    Kolbert’s logical appeal strengthens her argument, as she weaves a compelling thread of logic and scientific evidence into it. For instance, Kolbert writes about the introduction of rosy wolfsnails in Hawaii in the 1950’s to exemplify the repercussions of introducing new species in a habitat, such as threatening the well-being of native ones (Kolbert 2014, 203). According to Kolbert, Hawaiians first introduced the rosy wolfsnail in their island to reduce the population of giant African snails, which “had become an agricultural pest” ( Kolbert 2014, 203). However, wolfsnails preyed only on Hawaii’s native snails (Kolbert 2014, 203). As a consequence, ninety percent of native snail species in Hawaii became extinct (Kolbert 2014, 203). While…

    Summary: The Illegal Wildlife Trade

    A rapidly growing trade for the Transnational Organized Crime groups is the illegal wildlife trade. “By its very nature, it is almost impossible to obtain reliable figures for the value of illegal wildlife trade. Experts at TRAFFIC, the wildlife trade monitoring network, estimate that it runs into hundreds of millions of dollars.” (2015). Tigers, Elephants, Rhinos, and even sea creatures like turtles are just a few animals that are being poached for this trade. The elephants for their ivory and Rhinos for their horns, is all that a poacher is after and metric tons of the stuff is being seized. The question to that is, how much is getting through that nobody knows about? Plants, yes plants, and other animals are all being sold for such…

    Summary of "The Case for Animal Rights" Summary and Response Paper. This was written about the story "The Case for Animal Rights" by Tom Regan.

    In "The Case for Animal Rights," Tom Regan writes about his beliefs regarding animal rights. Regan states the animal rights movement is committed to a number of goals, including: "the total abolition of the use of animals in science; the total dissolution of commercial animal agriculture; and the total elimination of commercial and sport hunting and trapping. Regan goes on and tells us the "fundamental wrong is the system that allows us to view animals as our resources, here for us--to be eaten, or surgically manipulated, or exploited for sport or money." Once people accept this view of animals being here for our resources, they believe what harms the animal doesn't really matter. Regan explains that in order to have this changed, people must change their beliefs. If enough people, especially people that hold a public office, change their beliefs, there can be laws made to protect the rights of animals.…

    Species At Risk Act

    The Species At Risk Act (SARA) is a piece of legislation in Canada that exists in order to prevent the disappearance of species considered at risk as well as to facilitate the recovery of species that have been identified as being either incapable of subsisting in the wild, or a special concern as they are identified as having potential to become extinct or endangered in the future as a result of human activity. It is designed with the intention to protect the habitats of species as well as the species themselves. Presently SARA has three schedules, one with the list of endangered species and two with lists of species that were decided to be deserving of the status at risk by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in…

    Case Study: Massachusetts Audubon Society

    National environmental organizations included Friends of the Earth, National Audubon Society, Sierra Club, The Nature Conservancy, and Wilderness Society had chapters or offices in Massachusetts. The Appalachian Mountain Club was regional, with chapters throughout the Northeast U.S. By contrast, Mass Audubon, Trustees of Reservations and MASSPIRG confined their activities to Massachusetts. Although organizations sometimes worked in coalitions to advocate specific political agenda, they also competed for funding and, to some extent, for members. On occasion, some of them had even competed for the same piece of environmentally sensitive property. The Nature Conversancy protected 17,000 acres in the state, Mass Audubon held 29,000 acres, and The Trustees of Reservations had more than 45,000 acres. Many other nonprofit organizations operated individual sanctuaries and nature centers or preserved land from development through land trusts.…
