over-fishing of target species * effects on predator populations dependant on the target species as a food source * mortality of non-target species caught by fishing equipment * destruction of habitat | The Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) came into force in 1982‚ as part of the Antarctic Treaty System‚ with the aim of regulating exploitation rather than outright protection. | CCAMLR should include not just the target species but also dependent and

It was set to rain that day but it seemed like nature wanted us to work on continuing to remove the invasive species‚ the rain passed by quick and we continued to remove the invasive plants. The weather was perfect not to hot or chilly‚ even thought eventually we all got hot and sweaty when removing the plants. During this service learning experience‚ students were able to create our own

Dandelion Proposal Dandelions are an annoying‚ invasive species that grow rapidly in the summertime. Also‚ several children and adults have allergies to these weeds. Through research‚ we found along with being a pesky garden weed that dandelions also have several health benefits when consumed. We came up with a plan to get these dandelions out of our gardens and lawns and into our nutritional diet. The species Taraxacum (Dandelions) is listed as a noxious weed‚ which means it is a plant considered

There are several important ways in which humans can slow biodiversity loss‚ although there is no way to bring back the species that have already gone extinct. Protecting Areas Creating protected areas where human activity is limited is the best way to prevent deforestation and exploitation of organisms and the resources they need to survive. In order to truly make a difference‚ much planning needs to go into the creation of a protected area. It needs to consider all elements of the ecosystem

Linn English IIII January 14th‚ 2013 How Species Are Becoming Endangered There are so many reasons and factors that are causing all kinds of species to become endangered. Some are natural causes but others are caused by mankind. Species have been coming endangered or sometimes extinct since the beginning of time. Mankind wasn’t such a huge factor until we started to develop more and more as time continued to go on. Almost 99% of threatened species are at risk of being extinct because of human

A keystone species is a species that has a disproportionate effect on its environment relative to its abundance. Such an organism plays a role in its ecosystem that is analogous to the role of a keystone in an arch. While the keystone feels the least pressure of any of the stones in an arch‚ the arch still collapses without it. Similarly‚ an ecosystem may experience a dramatic shift if a keystone species is removed‚ even though that species was a small part of the ecosystem by measures of biomass

An endangered species is a population of organisms‚ which is facing high risk of becoming extinct because it is either few in numbers‚ or threatened by changing environmental or predation parameters. There are a lot of endangered species in the world right now. They are moving towards being extinct slowly. In fact‚ since a species is not declared extinct until years have gone by since it was last spotted. Tigers are among the animals that are endangered in Asia. The tiger is native to Asia

are inflicting on many animals. Indeed‚ we are in danger of wiping out some species‚ if we have not already done so. For millions of years‚ extinction among animals was а natural process. In fact‚ it was part of the process of evolution. In recent years‚ however‚ the extinction of some species has been the result of human activities. Had it not been for these‚ many more animals would have survived. Some species have either been made extinct‚ or become endangered‚ because of hunting. Now
