Wildlife Conservation

 Wildlife conservation is the way of practicing the protection of the animal species and the  habitats they survive in. The Endangered Species Act,  is the establishment and protection of public lands animals live in, and the responsibility of public practices that conserve wild animal populations. With The earth continuing to grow at a fast rate, it is also meaning that more and more humans are taking up natural resources. This is endangering the existence of animals and their habitats. Programs like the World Wildlife Fund and the Wildlife Conservation Society are working every day to slow down the extinction of animals and also protect the earth's biodiversity at the same time.

    This is a great blog post and very interesting to read! Reading about wildlife conservation opened my mind up to the Endangered Species Act and what is contains of and how much of impact it has on the wildlife. I enjoyed how informative your blog was about the growth of human population and how it has a negative effect on the wildlife because we are taking up more natural resources. It’s great that there are programs out there to help slow down the extinction of animals, including the World Wildlife Fund and the Wildlife Conservation Society. Also I enjoy the picture choice!

    I love how you chose elephants for your picture, they are a beautiful species that are on the top of endangered species list. They are not treated the way the deserve to be. If we keep reproducing at our rate there will not be any room for certain species because we have taken up their habitat, I do not think people realize how fast we are reproducing. It is nice to know that there are organizations helping these species from being endangered, shows how much people do care about what is happening around us. It is heartbreaking to learn that there are still so many poachers out there taking these species away. Certain animals like deer, coons and coyotes are different because they need to be regulated. Animals like elephants take 22 months to grow a baby, the slow reproduction rate makes it extremely difficult for them to repopulate.

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 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...
