The document discusses the causes and effects of endangered animals and what the public can do to help. It outlines that habitat loss, pollution, competition, and illegal killing are leading causes for the rise in endangered animals. While hunting provides some benefits for people, it is not entirely necessary and has contributed to declining animal populations. Historically, humans began killing animals for food, tools and clothing thousands of years ago. The document examines which endangered species have been most impacted and suggests that the public can help by writing letters, donating, avoiding products made from endangered animals, and raising awareness.
Capstone Paper
Through understanding wolves' family structure, role in ecosystems, and evaluating accusations, restoring wolves to Colorado is beneficial. Wolves positively impact ecosystems by self-regulating their populations and influencing other species. They were historically present in Colorado but were eliminated by the 1930s due to persecution. Studies of restored wolf populations show wolves can coexist with livestock and benefit tourism. Overall, restoring wolves to Colorado could improve ecosystem health.
Hunt & Kill Judas Animals: From Economic Significance to Ecological Mayhem –...
Raccoon dogs were originally hunted for their fur but are now hunted in some places in the name of biodiversity and conservation. However, nature is a complex system that can balance itself, and hunting raccoon dogs may do more harm than good. They are part of the natural system and killing them is a short-sighted attempt to re-engineer nature. We should understand nature as a system and stop interfering for poorly considered reasons. Raccoon dogs deserve to be protected as part of the natural order.
The Oregon Spotted Frog presented by Jay Bowerman
The document discusses the Oregon spotted frog, including that it can have extra or missing legs as deformities. It faces threats such as parasites, altered hydrology, introduced predators, climate change, and societal ambivalence. Data on egg masses from 2000 to 2016 shows fluctuations over time that may be related to these threats.

This document discusses animal welfare issues. It notes that over 10 billion land animals are slaughtered for food in the US each year, totaling over 55 billion globally. It states that 316 animals are killed every second for food. It also notes that around 250 million domestic dogs suffer abuse each year. The document lists many endangered species and encourages readers to help raise awareness and funds to support animal welfare causes.
Asian Carp Invasion
The document discusses the invasion of Asian carp into the Great Lakes. Asian carp were introduced to the US in the 1970s but escaped into rivers due to flooding. They have since proliferated and migrated north, threatening the $7 billion Great Lake fisheries. Efforts to stop the carp include electric barriers on the Chicago Canal and plans for physical barriers or hydrologic separation. Removal efforts focus on netting and killing carp in key areas.
Asian Carp in Five Minutes
The document discusses the Asian carp, an invasive species introduced to the US in the 1970s that threatens the Great Lakes. It notes that Asian carp eat plankton that native fish rely on and that silver carp can injure people when they jump out of the water. While many proposals seek to control the carp population, one suggestion is promoting their use for human consumption, as they are farmed and popular to eat in Asia. Some chefs say Asian carp are delicious.
GrayWolfEssay
The document summarizes the reintroduction and management of gray wolves in Yellowstone National Park and surrounding areas. It describes how wolves were reintroduced in 1995-1997 and have since flourished, increasing to over 1,650 wolves. Their reintroduction led to trophic cascades that benefited many other species and the ecosystem. However, some wolves migrated outside the park and have preyed on livestock, causing conflicts. State agencies now manage wolves and allow limited hunting, which is controversial among stakeholders.

Vulture awareness day presentation
Three species of vultures in South Asia, including the white-rumped vulture, have seen their populations decline by over 90% in recent decades due to the use of the veterinary drug diclofenac. Diclofenac is toxic to vultures and causes kidney failure when they eat the remains of livestock treated with the drug. Conservation efforts are underway to breed vultures in captivity and ban dangerous drugs, but diclofenac contamination of the vultures' food supply still threatens their survival. International organizations like IUCN are working with countries in the region to establish protected zones and continue conservation actions to save South Asia's critically endangered vultures from extinction.

The document makes predictions about scientific and technological advancements between 2005 and 2023, including the resurrection of woolly mammoths, the emergence of agricultural robots and treatments for cancer and obesity, environmental cleanups, elections, eclipses, and the potential extinction of rhinos and gorillas with only those remaining in captivity.
Sq-atch out!
The document discusses evidence that could support the existence of Bigfoot in North American forests. It notes that Bigfoot's reported dietary needs of consuming large amounts of vegetation, as well as its need for forest shelter from the sun, resemble those of gorillas and black bears. As the North American forests can support these same needs for black bears, they could potentially support Bigfoot living there as well. Additionally, reported features of Bigfoot, such as its sagittal crest and human-like feet, resemble characteristics that would aid survival in the forests. Therefore, the ecological factors of the North American woods may be suitable for Bigfoot.

Tasmanian Tiger
The thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger, was a large carnivorous marsupial that went extinct in the 20th century. It resembled a wolf or large dog with stripes and a stiff tail. Thylacines lived in Tasmania and mainland Australia but died out on the mainland around 2,000 years ago due to competition from dingoes. In Tasmania, they were widespread until European settlement in 1803. The arrival of settlers led to overhunting of thylacines, destruction of their forest and grassland habitat, and competition from introduced dogs. The last known thylacine died in captivity in 1936, making the species extinct. Scientists now hope to clone the thylacine
Thylacine the tasmanian tiger
The Thylacine was a carnivorous marsupial that lived in Australia and Tasmania. It resembled a large, short-haired dog with 13 to 21 dark stripes across its back and tail, earning it the nickname "Tiger". It preferred forests, wetlands and grasslands, and was a nocturnal hunter that preyed on kangaroos, wallabies and wombats. The Thylacine went extinct due to competition from humans and dingoes.
Tasmanian tiger
The Tasmanian tiger, or Thylacine, was the largest carnivorous marsupial found recently in Australia and Tasmania. It had a total body length of around 1 meter and a tail length of 50-65 cm. While the Thylacine first appeared 4 million years ago and was found on mainland Australia and New Guinea prehistorically, by recent times it was restricted to Tasmania. The Thylacine was nocturnal but would sunbathe, hunting alone or in small groups, with debate around its technique of ambush versus exhaustion of prey.

Tasmania has abundant natural beauty, with over 45% of its land protected in reserves and national parks. It is home to unique wildlife like the Tasmanian devil and eastern quoll.
Stolen generation power point
The document summarizes the stolen generation policy in Australia where Aboriginal children were forcibly removed from their families by the government in the 20th century. It discusses how children were taken and sent to institutions or placed with white families. There was also widespread removal of children aged 3-16 who had mixed descent. Many debates have been held but most have not satisfied Aboriginal viewpoints. Australia now celebrates Sorry Day and there was a national apology by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to recognize the impacts of the policy. However, some argue removals were due to child welfare needs rather than race.
Captain james cook
Captain James Cook was a renowned British explorer who led three major voyages of discovery. On his first voyage from 1768-1771 aboard the Endeavour, Cook mapped New Zealand and became the first European to encounter Australia's eastern coastline. His second voyage from 1772-1775 saw Cook cross the Antarctic Circle and discover many Pacific islands. Cook's third and final voyage from 1776-1779 aimed to find the Northwest Passage, during which he discovered the Hawaiian Islands but was killed in a confrontation with Hawaiians in Kealakekua Bay. Cook circumnavigated the globe on his voyages and made significant contributions to exploration, navigation and cartography.

What happened for the stolen children
Government officials in Australia believed that removing Aboriginal children from their families and raising them according to white cultural practices was the best way to assimilate Aboriginal people between 1883 and 1969. The children were placed in institutions, churches, foster homes, or adopted by white families, cutting them off from their Aboriginal culture and often subjecting them to abuse. Many of the stolen generations suffered long-lasting emotional, spiritual, intellectual and psychological scars as a result of being separated from their families and culture.
Future of agriculture Tasmania
The document discusses the future of agriculture in Tasmania and potential scenarios. It notes that climate change is expected to have less impact on Tasmania than the mainland, with slightly higher temperatures and changes to rainfall and river flows depending on location. Demographics are also changing with an aging population. There is a need for more educated and skilled agricultural graduates to address labor demands and meet the challenge of feeding a growing global population with fewer resources. Tasmania is well positioned to help solve global food security issues by producing more with less through innovative solutions and passionate, educated people.

Running Head ANIMAL EXTINCTION12ANIMAL EXTINCTION.docx
This document discusses animal extinction and the efforts of organizations to prevent it. The main points are:
1) Animal extinction is occurring at a high rate due to loss of habitat, pollution, overhunting, and climate change. Many species are endangered or face extinction within 200 years.
2) Major causes of extinction include loss of habitat from land use changes, pollution, overpopulation leading to climate change, and illegal wildlife trade and hunting.
3) Organizations like the UN Environmental Program, Animal Rescue Foundation, and World Wildlife Fund work to stop extinction by influencing policies, funding anti-poaching efforts, and providing security for trafficked animals. Their goal is to protect endangered species and reduce threats like
Endangered species
The document defines an endangered species as one at risk of extinction if reproduction rates decline. Examples given are giant pandas, polar bears, and elephants. Causes of endangerment include habitat destruction, pollution, disease, and illegal hunting. To help, people can reduce pollution, join conservation groups, and stop illegal hunting.
Endangered Animals
The document discusses the causes and effects of endangered animals and what the public can do to help. It outlines that habitat loss, pollution, competition, and illegal killing are leading causes for the rise in endangered animals. While hunting provides some benefits for people, it is not entirely necessary and non-violence is the ethical goal. Humans have been killing animals for thousands of years for food, tools and clothing. However, governments, natural disasters, disease and humans all contribute to the current state of endangered animals. Great apes and river dolphins are among the most affected. The public can help by writing letters, donating, avoiding products from endangered animals, and raising awareness.

The document discusses how human activity is negatively impacting animal habitats and populations. It provides several examples of how development is destroying coastal and ocean habitats, through activities like building, oil spills, and trash pollution. Global warming is also hindering many species by forcing them to find new habitats and impacting food and living conditions. As human populations grow, animal populations decline due to loss of habitat and resources. Wildlife biologists should act as leaders to encourage better stewardship of the environment to protect animal populations.

It notes that approximately 150-270 species go extinct every day, and that the main drivers of extinction are habitat destruction, pollution, climate change, and other human activities. If current trends continue, half of all plant and animal species are predicted to become extinct by 2100. The document emphasizes the importance of protecting endangered species and their habitats in order to maintain biodiversity and ecosystem services that humans depend on.

Saving the Siberian Tiger
“Future generations would be truly saddened that this century had so little foresight, so little compassion, such lack
of generosity of spirit for the future that it would eliminate one of the most dramatic and beautiful animals this
world has ever seen.”
—George Schaller, Wildlife Biologist, on the tiger
“If you kill a tiger, you can buy a motorbike.”
—Anonymous poacher, on selling tiger parts
H
istorically, tigers roamed widely across Asia from Turkey to northeast Russia to In-
donesia. However, people have driven the majestic striped cats from nearly all of
their range. Today, tigers are exceedingly rare and are sliding toward extinction.
Just over 3,000 tigers survive, down from 100,000 a century ago.

Tigers of the subspecies
known as the Siberian tiger
are the largest cats in the
world. These regal animals
today find their last refuge
in the forests of the remote
Sikhote-Alin Mountains of the
Russian Far East. For thou-
sands of years the Siberian
tiger coexisted with the re-
gion’s native people and held
a prominent place in their
lore. These people viewed it
as a guardian of the moun-
tains and forests, and they rarely killed a tiger unless it
had preyed on a person.
The Russians who moved into the region in the
early 20th century had no such cultural traditions.
They hunted tigers relentlessly for sport and hides,
and the tiger population dipped to perhaps just
20–30 animals. In response, the Russian government
banned the hunting of tigers, and the population be-
gan to recover. However, poachers started killing ti-
gers illegally to sell their body parts to China and oth-
er Asian countries, where they are used in traditional
medicine and as alleged aphrodisiacs. Meanwhile,
logging, road building, and agriculture degraded and
fragmented tiger habitat, providing easy access for
still more poachers.
International conservation groups got involved
just in time, working with Russian biologists to save the
dwindling tiger population.
One such group was the Hor-
nocker Wi ...

- 9. International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List A list established in 1994 that contains explicit criteria and categories to classify the conservation status of individual species on the basis of their extinction.
- 10. Red List Criteria • The rate of population decline • The geographic range • Whether a species already possesses a small population size • Whether a species is very small or lives in a restricted area • Whether the results of quantitative analysis indicates a high probability of extinction in the world
- 11. The Endangered Species Act of 1973 Obligates federal and state governments to protect all threatened life with extinction and this process is aided by the creation and continued maintenance of an endangered species list. It also promotes the protection of critical habitats essential to the survival of a given species.
