Why is conservation important? How can you help in conserving species in your community?
Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- What is happening to the forest of Madagascar and what is the outcome? Why is saving the biodiversity of Madagascar so important? Why does Australia have such an unusual variety of spiders? What are five reasons species are becoming extinct? What does it mean for a species to be extinct? Give an example How do invasive species travel or spread to a different ecosystem? Give an example. List and describe five examples of declining biodiversity five actions that individuals can do to help create and support biodiversity?The Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973 has helped to slow the destruction of habitat and the loss of species in the United States. There are now many success stories of animals/plants that were on the edge of extinction and now are returning. Even with the success stories there are many who criticize ESA. I want you to give at least 2 examples (with explanation) that show the success and need for The Endangered Species Act. And give 2 reasons why ESA is still criticized after all these years.What kind of conservation strategies have been or should be implemented to the Hawaiian islands in order to avoid native bird populations declining or going extinct due to avian malaria?
- why is it bad that there are a lot of endangered species and certain ecosystems are collapsing and from distress?Explain the notion of community-based conservation. Why have conservation advocates been turning to this approach? What challenges exist in implementing it?If you are one of the environmentalists and was assigned in one of the forests in the Philippines which happened to be the location of some endangered species, what are the plans that you would organize to ensure the conservation of the species of the flora and fauna present in your assigned area?
- What are some opportunities for improvements in the conservation biology policies in Hawaii? What are some opportunities for improvements in the conservation biology policies in the United States?Bob Davison describes the Endangered Species Act (ESA) as an effective tool for conserving biological diversity. What is his rationale for the value of focusing on individual species? The public is not concerned about the economic costs of individual species recovery. A focus on individual species is cheaper than protecting entire ecosystems. Establishing public empathy for charismatic species provides an opportunity to educate people about lesser-known species. The public tends to value intact ecosystems over particular plant and animal species.Are your importance values similar to importance values for the same species in the other community? What may be some reasons why the importance values for each species are different?
- The Protected Areas Commission in Guyana is planning to implement a comprehensive programme aimed at protecting our local biodiversity. 1. What components of diversity should they focus on? (3 marks) 2. Why should the Commission focus on the components you have identified above? (2 marks) 3. Name the TWO ways in which this biodiversity could be conserved (2 marks) 4. Explain how you would go about using the TWO ways to conserve biodiversity (4 marks) A Ⓡ BI !!! !!! WWThe implications of preserving biodiversity go beyond ecology. Social and cultural benefits are significant, especially in the less developed nations. In the United States, we are fortunate to have notable examples of socio-cultural connections to biodiversity. In this exercise, I simply want you to become familiar with these two programs identified below. They are important because they involve places that can have meaningful connections to you - and other humans. We will get into the ecological details in later assignments. First, here are UNESCO's Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage programs. https://en.unesco.org/node/314143 Using the information in the link above, answer the following questions: Refer to this page on their website: https://en.unesco.org/biosphere/eu-na https://whc.unesco.org/en/about/ 7. What is the nearest World Heritage site to you? https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/ 8. In concert with UNESCO, the Convention on Biological Diversity https://www.cbd.int/nbsap/ is…Historically, conservation has advocated for protecting biodiversity “from the people”. However, more recently the focus has been on protecting the species of this planet “for the people”. Describe what you think the differences between the two approaches (‘from’ versus ‘for’ the people) are and why one should be advocated over the other.
