There is only one country that has no native animals, and made pest elimination into an industry. In the article The Big Kill, talked New Zealand 's animals ' population. New Zealand 's population is filled with so many different animal species. New Zealand’s population consist of four and a half million people. All the animals in New Zealand was imported by settlers throughout millions of decades. With no native animals New Zealand had a problem on their hand. Animal’s population infested the country. The new animals distorted native fauna, and other plants into extinction. Insects invade homes and other public areas carrying diseases. Rats and other invasive mammals are destroying New Zealand’s native fauna. It made them take matters in …show more content…
Humans are destroying the population of millions of species to bring a community together. New Zealand had taken extermination to the next level. They had changed the environment and the reputation of the whole country. The over population of animals changed the vegetation state of the whole country. They ate a wide range of things like fruits, eggs, seeds, and chickens. New Zealand 's animals and plants that evolved without predators are unable to compete with the introduced species. Creating a Predator Free New Zealand project is helping to control the population of the animals. The program helps restore the vegetation of the country. Lots of New Zealanders get excited about the death of animal, or how much the A24s and many others have killed. The race to have a predator free population in NewZealand. The new Zealanders came up with a plan to fix the problem to restore the balance the ecosystem. They have discover a way to create a predictor free ecosystem that the citizens of New Zealanders are satisfy with. Humans have effect on every element of life. Animal’s population of honey bees, raccoon dog, or many others are decreasing.There is a decrease in animals ' population. The decrease occurs with honey bees, raccoon dog, and in New Zealand. In New Zealand, they import other animals to help correct the population of animals. We found a way to restore order, either we kill to balance the ecosystem or we find …show more content…
They devised a plan to decline the population of the raccoon dogs. The over population in New Zealand, raccoon dogs and honey bees creates us to take action. We have to take over and find a way to establish a balance ecosystem. For exampleNew Zealanders saw there was an overpopulation of possums, so they imported rats, which lead to stoats or weasels, which lead to ferrets. Finally the small cats took over. New Zealand had to take matter into their own hands. Which created an overpopulated with a predator environment. With the over population of raccoon dogs turn to us having to create habits for the endangered animal. New Zealand’s resolution was to create a symbiotic environment for animals; a place where it is predator
Shelly Zumaya (2220 East Hennepin Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55413) is the president and sole shareholder of Kiwi Corporation (stock basis of $400,000). Incorporated in 2003, Kiwi Corporation’s sole business has consisted of the purchase and resale of used farming equipment. In December 2011, Kiwi transferred its entire inventory (basis of $1.2 million) to Shelly in a transaction described by the parties as a sale. According to Shelly and collaborated by the minutes of the board of directors, the inventory was sold to her for the sum of $2 million, the fair market value of the inventory. The terms of the sale provided that Shelly would pay Kiwi Corporation the $2 million at some future date. This debt obligation was not evidenced by a promissory note, and to date, Shelly has made no payments (principal or interest) on the obligation. The inventory transfer was not reported on Kiwi’s 2011 tax return, either as a sale or a distribution. After the transfer of the inventory to Shelly, Kiwi Corporation had no remaining assets and ceased to conduct any business. Kiwi did not formally liquidate under state law. Upon an audit of Kiwi Corporation’s 2011 tax return, the IRS asserted that the transfer of inventory constituted a liquidation of Kiwi and, as such, that the corporation recognized a gain on the liquidating distribution in the amount of $800,000 [$2 million (fair market value) - $1.2 million (inventory basis)]. Further, because Kiwi Corporation is devoid of assets, the IRS assessed a tax due from Shelly for her gain recognized in the purported liquidating distributi...
Our world is very unique. We share the world with all sorts of creatures from animals of all sizes, and shapes. Creatures that crawl, slide, run, swim, fly, or burrow. As scientists expand their knowledge about the world they unmask many types of species living on this planet. Scientist has discovered about 1.7 million species, and 13,000 more species are being found every year. It is very rare to know that there are many unknown animals, such as large birds or even mammals, but there could be million little creatures wanting to be discovered such as insects, spiders, shellfish, and even worms. As we share our world with many animals is very heartbreaking to know that we are also destroying their habitat and making their way of
Did you know that you happen to be surrounded by invasive species? These species are animals that come into areas they do not belong in. The articles, “Invaders among Us,” and “Invader Alert,” show this. They harm the environment, cost tons of money in damage and extermination, and they have to be prevented.
Time and time again it has been seen that human interaction with his/her environment and it’s ecosystems has shown to be increasingly arrogant and self-serving. These endless accounts are proven by the amount of important biological diversity that is being lost to the surrounding environment due to these threats of human development and population growth. There are two forms of these losses of diversity by human hand: direct and indirect. Direct losses would be the destruction of an area needed for human requirements be it social or economical. Examples of these losses would be housing, agriculture, and others. Indirect losses would be those caused by the destruction of an area also needed for the same requirements but the area’s commodities which are valued, water, food, land in general, is needed elsewhere. These losses are few in number compared with those of direct losses yet they are of the greatest importance. They are important because they involve the removal of resources of an area in which other inhabitants are dependent upon. A great example of this regrettable indirect expansion is the loss of the rich habitat of the area known as Owens Valley.
In both positive and negative ways, human’s actions are always affecting the lives of animals as well. To reduce future endangerments, we can work to decrease competition between humans and animals (Wyatt, Tristram D. 110). We can also work to understand interactions and aspects of animal behavior that can help us to protect threatened animals. (Wyatt, Tristram D. 113). Scientists can work to learn more about the effects of climate change due to humans and they can campaign to bring awareness to the negative effects we have on wildlife (Wyatt, Tristram D. 114). When humans are more informed about how we affect animals and how we can protect them, there is a much greater chance that they will survive or avoid
In the Grampians National Park there are many introduced species. These animals compete with the native Flora and Fauna, for food water and other resources to live on. These “pests” include Rabbits, foxes and feral cats as well as exotic grazers such as horses, deer, pigs and feral goats. These feral animals are all leading to the downgrade of the Grampians and wider parts of Victoria and Australia. There are many ways that the Government and other parties are trying to solve this major issue.
I am tired of humanity treating forests with little care, it hurts me that they do not care about the fate of the animals that live in danger of what they do every day. I do not understand why humans do not care to share the world with the life around them. Then, I had a great idea, why not create a few solutions the humans who care about the animals can do to protect them from deforestation and habitat loss. I have created five solutions to protect the animals endangered from deforestation, two realistic and three satirical. The three satirical solutions are to tape off the forests, deactivate all machinery, and transfer animals onto a secluded location free from loggers, and my two realistic ideas to combat deforestation are to educate the public and to reduce human expansion. I believe at least one of these ideas will have some type of impact when it comes to the protection of the habitat for the
The Australian government has announced war on the feral cats population in the Great Sandy Desert. Millions of feral cats will be killed to save Australia’s threatened wildlife (Hunt). Feral cats have threatened about over 100 native species, In Australia, including the Great Sandy Desert, along with the extinction of at least 27 mammal species. “Over time, plants and animals that once thrived our continent have been pushed to the brink. We need to step in, for their sake and for ours” (Hunt). Now we are stepping in and killing as many feral cats as possible so more plants and animals will live in the Great Sandy Desert. Since there has been several thousand killings from feral cats, Australia’s government is building 10 cat-free safe havens for all the animals at risk. There are around 1.4 million feral cats after droughts but the number jumps up to around 5.6 feral cats after extensive wet periods, which results in more prey for the feral cats to hunt. Another 700,000 feral cats are estimated to live in other environments in Australia, including urban areas, dumps, and farms. The government say that since
In today’s society that we live in, there are countless of environmental problems that we face, such as global warming, fishing, pollution, and many other topics of that matter. These issues have affected our environment for the worse and have caused problems physically and economically. Yet, out of all the issues that effects our world on a daily basis, it is shown that overpopulation is one if not, is our biggest issue in our environment that is only getting worse due time, especially due to the rapid growth of the human population and the limited resources that are left on earth that we absolutely need to tend to our growing population. Even Dr. Charles A. Hall, who is a systems ecologist, states that, “Overpopulation is the only problem, If we had 100 million people on Earth or better yet 10 million, no others would be a problem.” Which helps prove that overpopulation is a major issue that we must act upon if we want to save our world.
First farming is a key aspect and so is domesticating plants and animals the line "hunter gatherers of the Chatham (only 5 people per square mile) and of New Zealand's South Island, and the farmers of the rest of New Zealand (28 people per square mile). In contrast, many islands with intensive agriculture attained population densities exceeding 120 per square mile Page 61" This line shows how farming can increase the density of people due to a surplus of food that was acquired by farming and nearly impossible by hunting and gathering. That surplus allows for many more things to occur such as advance in technology and political advances. This is seen in the line "In general, the larger the size and the higher the density, the more complex and specialized were the technology and Political organization page 62" In this line "In addition, the largest domestic mammals interacted with domestic plants to increase food production by pulling plows and thereby making it possible for people to till land that had previously been uneconomical for farming." it shows how animals that are domesticated are used not only for food and materials but also for plowing the field and allowing to expand the farms. But these animals bring along nasty germs. This lines helps explain it "The major killers of humanity throughout our recent history—smallpox, flu, tuberculosis, malaria, plague, measles, and cholera—are infectious diseases that
Slowly, the disruption of these delicate balances are taking their toll on the native habitats and transforming small temporary changes into permanent problems. The area of environmental modification that will be emphasized in this paper is the introduction of non-native species to new habitats and the resulting effects on that habitat; specifically, the introduction of the European Rabbit to Australia.
One of the big causes of extinction or the endangerment of species is foreign species entering a habitat. This species that are not native to the land can disrupt the food web in that community. These species take control of the food web and endanger some of the other species. The native species become endangered and over the course of many years they either adapt to their new way or life, the foreign predator leaves or is killed off due to the different environment, or the species is killed off and becomes extinct. Organizations like the “World Wild Li...
The rise or fall of temperatures and the lack of precipitation can resort in consequences such as vegetation dying which can mean a lack of food supply for the animals and ultimately mean the death of animals. Extinction has been a theme in many readings throughout the course including Helen Simpson’s Diary of an Interesting Year. In Simpson’s short story she states, “No creatures left except squirrels, rats, and pigeons, unless you count the insects” (109). In this short story, the audience views that in the year 2040 nearly all animal species have gone extinct due to “the Big Melt” which is based on climate change (101-115). In the horrible conditions described within the story, insects prove to be survivors that are capable of outlasting any other species. In my script, humans get their food from the “insecto-snapper” which is just an insect trap because insects are the only means of food and protein in this futuristic situation. Simpson’s short story connects with my script by discussing the result of extinction and how much of an affect the loss of animals have on humans and their ability to survive without animal meat. One other reading that has the extinction theme was Lydia Millet’s Zoogoing, which describes animals who are “alone on the earth, vanishing” (39). Millet’s short story tells of a world that is in the process of extinction but still has the effects of a world without animals. Both Simpson and Millet’s short stories contribute to my script by describing a future where humans no longer rely or care about animal
According to World WildLife Fund, many ecosystems around the world are being destroyed, eliminating many plant and animal species that inhabit them (“Pollution”).
Everyone’s all seen those wildlife shows on tv. The shows on National Geographic and such, showing animals in beautiful environments, everything lush and growing and nothing at all wrong that could threaten these creatures and places. But, have anyone seen the other side? The side where all these beautiful creatures and plants starve, are decimated by predators that have never been there before, and sometime even become poisoned by their very own homes and habitats? Of course no one has. That doesn’t mean that its not happening. It is happening, and its happening everywhere. And guess who is to blame? People. Society. Humans as a race pollute the environment, hunt animals simply for their parts, fish way more than humans will ever need just for the sake of money, introduce new species to new places for our own gain, and even purposefully destroy entire regions just for human expansion. And its starting to take its toll. While it is true that nature is constantly in flux and certain species come and go, humans are causing more species to disappear in the past few hundred years then nature has ever caused since the age of the dinosaurs, and therefore it is up to humans to repair the damage caused, be it cleaning the environment and habitats of these creatures, or taking more direct action to protect and preserve the species that are on the brink of extinction.
