Conservation and habitat management


Habitat management - Levi Elfrink

As it turns out, it doesn’t matter if you hunt, or are an animal activist, or even a hard core conservationist. We all have to do our part and share to balance all things of nature. We can not all be hunters and not all of us can not be animal activists. We consider this balance habitat management. My cited source states that the word conservation is mixed up with preservation even though they are different. Conservation should be what my source considers “wise use” versus preservation is considered “non-use”. Most people that are arguing about this topic are missing the point with what habitat management is for. Habitat management is for nature’s true balance with man and that means we are supposed to coexist and cooperate with each other. If we are to coexist we must have hunters that maintain the population of any given species. If we are to coexist we must understand that non-sensible violence on a animal species is unacceptable. With all this being said, we must work together to understand each other or we might be capable of destroying every animal species on the planet. In my opinion, I would love to be able to show my kids all the animals that I got to study and witness when I potentially become a father. Like this guy in the picture.

    Your blog perfectly described how I feel about taking care of our wild life. It’s honestly sad knowing that some animals species might not exist in a few years and it’s mostly humans fault. Habitat management is important because recently the blue macaw parrot from the movie “Rio” was officially extinct, which is horrifying when I go back to see the movie. You did a great job of saying that we can work tougher to solve this problem and how you pointed out your opinion on why habit management is a good way show your future kids some species you saw as a kid.

Land Loss

 Hannah Bailey  There have been posts about sea levels rising however its not just affecting the sea. The water rising is also affecting the land. There is always the conspiracy that Florida will be fully submerged. It is stated on “the travel” page that Florida could be submerged as soon as 2050. This means that section of land will become apart of the sea life ecosystem. All of the oil preserves, the towns, even maybe cars would be submerged and begin to add more pollution to the ocean. This would require the citizens on Florida to have to reside elsewhere. Around 20 square mile of land has been consumed by sea levels rising. That is equivalent to 9,680 football fields of land gone. The image shown is a demonstration of what Florida will begin to look like if we dont take action fast. It is imperative that we save Florida for the citizens, land history, and for the oceans sake.  https://www.thetravel.com/florida-underwater-soon-stats/ https://coast.noaa.gov/digitalcoast...

Land Degradation

For this weeks blog post I’ll be discussing what affects Land degradation has on the environment. Land deterioration is tne loss of the productive capacity of the soils for present and future. Land degradation is a global challenge that affects everyone through food insecurity, higher food prices, climate change, environmental hazards and loss of biodiversity services and it is all happening at a worried pace, and contributing to a dramatic decrease of productivity of croplands. Globally, about 25 percent of the total land area has been degraded. When land is degraded, soil carbon and nitrous oxide is released into the atmosphere, making land degradation one of the most important contributors to climate change. If this trend continues, 95 percent of the Earth’s land areas could become degraded by 2050. While reading the article they talked about how the Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) is a concept that can help communities, businesses, and governments reconcile the need to increase f...

Land Reclamation

 Hannah Bailey Land Reclamation  Land is becoming more scarce as humans produce more technology and as the world wide population continues to increase. Land reclamation is "the process of creating new land from the sea." One way of doing this is by placing certain amount of big rocks and cement into a certain location in the water. To fill in between the rocks they place soil and sand until the new manmade land is at its desired height. This benefits the human race by creating land however, how does this impact our waters? How about the sea creatures? Is this damaging the environment? This does impact all of those things. In areas that use have high amount of crab and fish are seeing less and less. The underwater habitats are being destroyed. There was a reclamation project in China that was restricted for the harm against marine life. The picture shown is the progress the China project had before it was prohibited.  https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetar...
