Ene European Literature Period 4 26 February 2015 No to De-Extinction Whether it is bringing people back from the dead or resurrecting an entire extinct species‚ for hundreds of years‚ scientists everywhere have had the desire and craving to try and reverse nature’s kiss of death. Modern scientists are exploring the possibility of resurrecting species‚ that we and our ancestors led to extinction‚ through the process of de-extinction or also known as “resurrection biology”. Scientists believe

Animal extinction Animal extinction has been dramatically occurring and this is the biggest issue in the planet. The governments and scientists try to figure out the better ways to prevent and preserve the disappearance of animals. Human attitudes‚ degradation of nature and climate change are the causes that lead to animal extinction. I think that if these causes are still occurring without protection and preservation‚ the environment will become in less healthy state by 2050. The world human population

to some natural reasons or human’s insatiable hunger for money‚ particularly the endangered species of animals that require more attention to prevent them from being extinct in the near future. One of the major factors that are leading to the extinction of animals is deforestation. Mass deforestation by human has cost a lot to the habitat of animals. The animals are being forced to move away from their natural habitat as it is being destroyed by human. Major source of food for animals came from

of climate. In terrestrial habitats‚ tropical regions are typically rich whereas polar regionssupport fewer species. Rapid environmental changes typically cause mass extinctions. One estimate is that less than 1% of the species that have existed on Earth areextant.[1][verification needed] Since life began on Earth‚ five major mass extinctions and several minor events have led to large and sudden drops in biodiversity. The Phanerozoiceon (the last 540 million years) marked a rapid growth in biodiversity

In the late century‚ extinction becomes common topic in our daily discussion and debates. An average of 27‚000 species is currently extinct each year and there is a possibility of 22% of extinction in the overall species if action is not taken. Animal extinction is due to human immorality and irresponsible behavior just for their own benefits. Since the year 1600‚ a total of 83 mammals species are known to have become extinct. Wildlife population depleted the trade in live animals‚ damaged habitats

The 6th Major Extinction An Extinction is when tens of thousands are in danger of dying out completely. A Mass Extinction is when multiple different kind of species die out completely. Human activities do the most damage to animal habitats. Human activities include Illegal hunting‚ pollution from factories‚ and moving in of an invasive species which could mess up the whole ecosystem. Another example of human activities was back in the early 1800s‚ there were about 2 billion Passenger Pigeons

Animal extinction is happening nowadays due to the multiple factors of environmental degradation. The primary cause of environmental degradation is human disturbance. Extinctions caused by human are generally considered to be are recent phenomena. When humans convert wild areas for agriculture‚ forestry‚ urban development‚ or water projects including dams‚ hydropower‚ and irrigation‚ they reduce or eliminate its usefulness as a habitat for the other species that live there. The temperature of the

The exact reason for the Pleistocene extinction is still not known‚ this data implies that top-down forces and humans are the reason the extinction happened. This data is important because during the Anthropocene humans continue to put animals at risk for another extinction. The authors used data from the Pleistocene and recent data to show that high rates of predation and humans could have lead to the extinction. Both carnivores and humans caused the extinction‚ because both were competing for prey

Animal Extinction - the greatest threat to mankind In the final stages of dehydration the body shrinks‚ robbing youth from the young as the skin puckers‚ eyes recede into orbits‚ and the tongue swells and cracks. Brain cells shrivel and muscles seize. The kidneys shut down. Blood volume drops‚ triggering hypovolemic shock‚ with its attendant respiratory and cardiac failures. These combined assaults disrupt the chemical and electrical pathways of the body until all systems cascade toward death.

APES Humans’ Affect on Extinction If extinction is a natural part of the world‚ why should we worry about it? Speciation results in new species filling the ecological niche of extinct species. Why should we care if we speed up this process? Biologists say there are four main reasons to care about extinctions. First‚ the world’s species are a vital part of the earth’s life support system. A second reason is that species usually contribute to economic services. The third reason is that it takes
