The Ivory-Billed Woodpecker faces extinction due to loss of habitat as its forest homes in the southern United States and Cuba were destroyed by the timber industry. It prefers thick hardwood swamps and pine forests with dead and decaying trees to live in and find food like beetle larvae, berries, and insects. Conservation organizations are working to study and protect the remaining populations by preserving forests, but human destruction of natural resources continues to threaten species like the woodpecker and Orangutans in Malaysia with extinction.

This document discusses deforestation and its impact on giant pandas. It notes that deforestation has led to habitat loss and fragmentation for giant pandas, reducing their populations to under 1,000 remaining in small, isolated groups. Deforestation of bamboo forests in China has occurred as human settlement expanded, decreasing panda habitat by half between 1974 and 1989. Continued deforestation and lack of habitat connectivity now puts giant pandas at risk of local extinctions within reserves. Conservation efforts include plans to expand reserves and create habitat corridors.

Deforestation is clearing forests on a large scale, often damaging the land. It occurs through logging, burning, agriculture, grazing, and wildfires. Deforestation affects humans, climate, and animals. It causes loss of habitat and food for species like koalas, chimpanzees, and orangutans. Implementing sustainable logging, education campaigns, and regulating infrastructure can help reduce deforestation. Individuals can also help by reducing paper usage and supporting sustainable practices.
Species Relationship
This document discusses endangered species in Pakistan. It outlines 6 mammal species that are endemic to Pakistan, including the Indus river dolphin, woolly flying squirrel, Chiltan markhor, snow leopard, Balochistan black bear, and Western Tragopan. It provides details on the population and habitat of each endangered species. The document also describes different types of species interactions such as competition, predation, parasitism, commensalism, and mutualism.
Rainforest Plants
The document discusses the variety of plant life found in tropical rainforests. It notes that rainforests contain over half the world's plant species due to abundant rainfall and sunshine. The major plants are tall trees that create a canopy up to 100 feet high and hold many epiphytic plants like orchids, bromeliads and ferns. Vines called lianas are also important, and pitcher plants trap insects. While rainforests once covered 14% of the planet, deforestation has reduced this to 6%. Rainforest plants provide valuable foods, medicines, and produce one-fifth of the world's oxygen supply.
Amazon rainforest
The document provides an overview of the Amazon rainforest, including its location, structure, climate, inhabitants, resources, importance, threats from deforestation, and conservation efforts. Specifically, it notes that the rainforest spans many South American and African countries near the equator, contains many layers of vegetation up to 70 meters tall, has a warm, humid climate without distinct seasons, and is an important source of oxygen, water, minerals, and biodiversity for the planet. However, deforestation from agriculture, logging, pollution, and other abuses threatens this critical ecosystem, though some national parks like Manu's Park in Brazil are working to protect endangered species and rescue the rainforest.

Bandicoots are marsupial rats found in Australian rainforests, they come in many colors, shapes and sizes and have large ears, bodies and tails; they live on the forest floor in burrows, eat spiders, worms and insects as well as roots, and can be aggressive when mating, giving birth to 2-4 young.
Rainforest powerpoint[1]
Rainforests once covered 14% of the Earth's surface but now only cover 6% as they are being destroyed. Over half an acre is lost every second primarily due to logging, cattle ranching, and agriculture. This is resulting in the loss of 137 plant and animal species every day and will destroy nearly half of all species in the next 25 years. Solutions involve sustainable harvesting of rainforest resources, addressing the root causes of poverty and population growth, and returning control of forests to local communities.
Land Grabbing - A Mexican Presidium Under Threat
Around the world, huge tracts of fertile land are being sold or
rented for extremely low prices. Tens of millions of hectares
have been surrendered in recent years to produce food crops
for export or biofuels, to extract resources or to resell the land
on the financial market, like any other commodity.
This so-called land grabbing is severely threatening the
environment, the food sovereignty and the very lives of local
communities.
4th Period Temperate Rain Forest
A temperate rainforest is a forest that loses its leaves in the fall and has some of the largest trees in the world. It is home to plants like stinging nettle, salmonberry, Indian paintbrush, and Douglas fir. Common animals include Roosevelt elk, black-tailed deer, cougar, black bear, river otter, Douglas squirrel, jumping mouse, and shrew. The Douglas squirrel's diet consists of nuts and green cones, while the Olympic marmot hibernates in winter and eats roots and various plants depending on the season. Humans are negatively impacting temperate rainforests by clearing the land for housing, agriculture, and industry, destroying animal habitats.

Animals and plants are losing their homes Habitat demolition is the.pdf
Animals and plants are losing their homes: Habitat demolition is the main driver of species
extinction. When we destroy a forest in a specific zone, we have destined all the living things
flourishing in that environment. When we cut off streams with dams or assemble streets through
a forest, we are decimating ecosystems.
Where will they live? Do we try to migrate them? Is that even conceivable? Possibly the huge
creatures which we can see, yes. Be that as it may, as a rule, we don\'t trouble.
Deforestation has murdered off a larger number of species than we can distinguish. To date, we
have obliterated around 13 million hectares of forest, home to a huge number of species of all
shapes and sizes. We are pulverizing forests to supply the perpetually developing needs of our
progress for wood, paper, and different materials that originate from our trees. Because of
deforestation, we are pushing the Mountain Gorillas far from their habitat and they can\'t deal
with the worry of coping.
We are Overhunting and Overharvesting: Hunting and harvesting are vital exercises of people.
We have to eat and survive. On the off chance that this were our exclusive reasons, the planet
can likely manage us. It can duplicate and manage us with an enduring supply. In any case, we
are overharvesting a few species, similar to the Bluefin Tuna, the Whales and Sharks and a few
species of fish. These species can\'t recreate sufficiently quick to address our issues.
The Tiger is being chased to extinction, not as nourishment but rather for its excellent skin and
its organs which are viewed as therapeutic in some Asian nations. The same is valid for the
Rhino whose horns are additionally accepted to be restorative and for the Elephant whose tusks
are made of valuable ivory.
There’s someone new in the neighborhood: Accidentally and intentionally, we acquaint new
species with an ecosystem where these newcomers go after the local species or rival them for
their sustenance. A case is when individuals coincidentally acquire bothers starting with one
nation then onto the next. These vermin have no regular predators in their new environment so
they can spread quick and obliterate the adjust of their habitat.
There are just too many Humans: Our detonating populace is another fundamental driver of
species extinction. The causes recorded above are aggravated a great many times by our
continually developing number. We are going after space, over-using and our unquenchable need
are simply overpowering the other living things living on our planet.

This document discusses endangered species and the threats they face. It defines endangered as a species being at risk of extinction, and explains that this can occur when species lose habitat or lack genetic diversity. Habitat loss can happen naturally, as with dinosaurs, or through human activities like deforestation. Loss of diversity occurs when small populations only breed within their limited group. The document outlines the different threat categories used in the Red List to classify species, from least concern to extinct. It provides examples of species that are extinct in the wild or fully extinct, and discusses how protecting habitats and reducing threats can help species recover.

The document emphasizes that all living things are interconnected and that endangered species indicate broader environmental problems, so protecting them can help preserve ecosystems and human well-being.
Persuasive Speech On Endangered Species
The passage discusses the Endangered Species Act (ESA) which was enacted in 1973 to protect endangered plant and animal species. It has faced controversy due to the economic impacts of its restrictions. To make the ESA more effective, it argues both environmental and economic factors must be considered. It should balance protecting species with reasonable development by improving recovery plans and incentives for private landowners. With modifications, the ESA could fulfill its original goal of preventing species extinction while accommodating economic needs.
Sumatran Species
The document discusses the conservation status of several Sumatran species. It states that Sumatran orangutans, elephants, and rhinos are all classified as critically endangered. The population of Sumatran orangutans is estimated to be around 14,000, though habitat loss and poaching threaten them. Sumatran elephants have seen their population halve in one generation to around 2,400-2,800 due to similar threats. There are estimated to be only 220-275 Sumatran rhinos remaining, in declining numbers.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Ivory Billed Woodpecker
- 1. Ivory Billed Woodpecker In this issue, we are going to zoom in on a tragedy of Mother Nature: the extinction of animals. We will be introducing you fellow readers to the Ivory- Billed Woodpeckers, also known as the Lord God Bird. Tracks of Ivory-Billed Woodpeckers can be found in humid swampy forests. They are most located in the Southern United States and Cuba, where lots of hardwood forests are found. They prefer thick hardwood swamps or pineforests, with dead and decayingtrees. Like any other living creature, they need clean water and food. Most importantly, they need a safe place to live in, which is what they currently don’t have, since people are rapidly destroying their homes for economical use. (After civil war their land was destructed for the timber industry.) Ivory-billed woodpeckers eat beetle larvae, berries, nuts, and insects. Their predators are dependant on the sizes of the woodpeckers. Smaller woodpeckers’ predators are often birds in larger sizes, like hawks or eagles. For larger woodpeckers, predators include owls or foxes. In addition, snakes and squirrels often target the eggs of these woodpeckers too. The destruction of their homes caused them to lose their food source, and they are no longer capable of hiding from predators, since trees are cut down, making woodpeckers an easy target for their arch enemies. Since they have been ‘extinct’ for a short period of time and found again, organisations have been set up to help this beautiful species. ‘Woods Conservation Partnership’, led by the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology at Cornell University and The Nature Conservancy are industriously that are studying and tracking these ivory-billed woodpeckers are a couple of the organisations helping the endangered bird as well as some organisations in Florida. Each country has their own national animal to save from extinction, so why would they want any animal to be gone forever? That’s why organisations are constantly established, so people would be more alert of the fact that unfortunately we all played a role in making this species endangered, and that everyone is responsible of the situation happening today. Let’s take a look on our own nation. In Malaysia, there are several species facing the crisis of extinction too. Widely known examples are Leather-back Sea Turtles and Orangutans. A big similarity between the extinction of Orangutans and Ivory-Billed Woodpeckers is that the reason behind them facing extinct is because humans are using the natural resources inappropriately. They have been overly burning and chopping down forests where Orangutans and woodpeckers live in. However, comparing to America, Malaysia has done little effort in protecting these valuable species.
- 2. We should protect definitely give in our best to save the Ivory-Billed Woodpeckers because we have already lost them once, and can’t afford to lose them again. In fact, any species facing extinction should be saved. You cannot recover them once they are gone forever. We can do this by preserving forests for them and using less paper, so that the number of trees being cut down will be lessened. It is not an impossible task to do in today’s world, as long as those timber companies are not anymore blinded by wealth and profits. We believe that our next generation should be given the chance to appreciate the beauty of such unique animals. Second chances are extremely rare, so why waste this one? Make the right choice, and helping hand to these innocent creatures that are paying the price for our selfish acts.
