Just Like The Coyotes
Several urban species have adapted to living in much tighter spaces than they do in the country or wild. Some have become very active at night, when people aren’t around, and probably most frequently, many of the animals have figured out how to navigate busy roads without getting hit. They assume that these animals are moving to the cities because they're being forced to move because of climate change and habitat destruction. proof and in-text citations (author last name, 2017) i.e “ Geography is wild, just like the coyotes” (Wang, 2017) When the animals have their habitat destroyed their only choice is to find somewhere else where they can find food and live. Not only do they go to cities because they have nowhere else to go but because t

    The kudzu problem, also known as the invasive species Pueraria montana var. lobata, currently rages across the Southern US, drowning out the native vegetation and covering anything in its way, including human architecture. However, the kudzu faces the same upcoming trials as we do—climate change. Will the kudzu, having already stood the test of migration, handle the coming climate shift just as well? To answer this question, we examine the three characteristics of kudzu that allow it to succeed as an invasive species, outcompeting both native species and human landowners, and how these same characteristics…

    The beautiful scenery of American suburbs persuades us that suburbs are cleaner than cities. Since greenery is more visually attractive than brownness filled with mobs of people and congestion, this claim must be true. Well, is it? Edward Glaeser and David Owen attempt to bust this myth through their works, Triumph of the City and Green Metropolis. They defy the myth and claim that suburbs are actually main culprits for increased carbon footprints in the United States. They attempt to provide compelling arguments of why and how cities are much more energy sufficient than suburbs. I support their ideas, because I also believe we can protect the environment more effectively in close proximity than wide sprawl from my own experiences of living in both Chicago and its northwest suburb. Urban lifestyle is a key to conservation. We must make necessary efforts to accept this counterintuitive fact and ultimately bring ourselves back to cities to sustain our planet earth.…

    Cats Pros And Cons

    Because it is certain that wildlife is declining and cats have a significant role as to why this is occurring. (8) Is what makes this argument to be invalid. The author states the decline to be 68% but in context he is blaming the cats. But has written “a variety of factors are to blame”, this doesn’t make sense because he is trying to blame cats for the decline in wildlife but it is really because of the clearing of land. (9) Is also dependent on this because it is farmland animals where the land is being heavily cleared for more urbanization. Yet he is still trying to blame cats for this with (11). The fact presented is not enough in detail to support the claim. It lacks detail as to how many rats and mice do they kill every year. What proportion are chipmunks, squirrels and rabbits killed. Cats are used to control population numbers for rabbits so this makes the fact unreliable. It also lacks the reproduction rates to which these animals replenish their population. Therefore in the context of the argument when trying to blame cats for the decline in wildlife it is invalid and thus a bad…

    Mike Davis “Fortress Los Angeles the Militarization of Urban space,” examined the destruction of “public places” in Los Angeles, because of the “Urban renaissance,” which benefited the middle class. Mike Davis says, “In Los Angeles once a paradise of free beaches, luxurious parks, and cruising strips genuinely democratic space is virtually extinct” (pg.294). In Barry Lopez’s “Caring for the Woods,” he also talks about the destruction of environment by developers and land owners who logged and bought property in the area. The animals and trees in the area were becoming extinct because of these activities, which have taken over their home. Barry Lopez’s says, “The number of Chinook on the red, though it fluctuates, has fallen off in recent years. And I have taken hundreds of dead animals off the road along the river-raccoon, brush rabbit, even Steller’s jay and mink.”…

    Pluie, " provided key evidence substantiating the theories on which rewilding is based. Pluie helped move it from a collection of hypotheses to a specific set of recommendations (Fraser 111)." In other words, Pluie grabbed the attention of biologists to advocate that corridors are essential to saving wildlife. Rewilding is not just a theory, but also a need for animals to survive and must be addressed to humans as a serious matter. Furthermore, corridors must be understood by humans because corridors play such a huge role in saving animals from extinction. However, there is no one answer in order to save wildlife, but this would save a myriad of species from extinction. Although corridors would help save wildlife, it would not completely save it because part of the reason why extinction is happening is because ecosystems are being isolated. For example, an island is isolated from mainland which makes it harder for species to survive. Therefore, less species would survive on that island, which leads to extinction. Pluie had to use wilderness corridors to travel from one area to another in order to catch prey. Pluie, geographically, needed more land than what was given in National Parks in order to move around. Furthermore, this shows that national parks aren 't big enough for animals because they need a linkage between many different…

    In 2001, the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) conducted a study on the assessed imperilment species in California (Doyle et. al., 2001). They confirmed that like the national consensus, the leading cause of species imperilment in the state is sprawl (Doyle et. al., 2001). Sprawl development is based on “development densities, land mix use, activity centering, and street accessibility (Erwing & Hamidi, 2014, p. 2). Many metropolitan areas in California have ranked nationally on the urban sprawl index for having impacted urban areas (Erwing & Hamidi, 2014, p. 2). For example, the metro areas of Santa Barbara/Santa Maria/Goleta, CA, Santa Cruz/Watsonville, CA, and Santa Ana/Anaheim/Irvine, CA respectively ranked 4th, 6th, and 10th on the most compact, connected metro areas nationally (Erwing & Hamidi, 2014). In Los Angeles alone,“219 species and 12% of the remaining space are projected to be lost to development” (Ewing & et al., 2005, p. 1). This increase in metropolitan area sprawl can lead to a greater displacement of animals and…

    Exotic Pet Ownership

    Residential neighborhoods are not the habitats, wildlife is not meant to live in and it is not the responsibility of the community to support these personal choices. Just as a human would never want to be caged exotic pet owners need to keep in mind this is how an exotic pet would view a domestic environment. We need to support the protection of wild habitats and be a voice that saves these environments so that exotic animals can live out their lives in these places. People need to stop believing in the domestication of wild animals and owned as personal pets. Society needs to find ways in which to help remove these animals from domestic cages and let them be free as no species should be caged for…

    The areas that are being put to use as wolf habitat are still inhabitant by cattle. The removal of the Mexican wolf from the Southwest, led to the rise of antelope, herds of elk, and deer. The inhabitants of the rural Southwest see the reintroduction of wolfs as an attempt to control the use of land in poor states. The importance of wolf recovery is necessary because it will conserve the wolf itself, maintain important ecological processes, and provide spiritual, recreational, economic and esthetic benefits to people. The conservation of wolves is supported by ecology, evolution, economics, education and ethics. Wolves have been an important evolutionary forces for thousands of years shaping and maintaining the landscape of North America and…
