Brazilian Speaks Up

 Jessica Seaton- 

A Brazilian leader spoke up about us killing the earth and people participating in deforestation in the Amazon. We are ruining forest by logging, the rivers are drying up, the forest is warmer, animals and plants are going extinct. The young man thought of ways to get our forest and our food back by planting 2 million trees in the forest. He plans to plant 10 million more trees to prove that we can create sustainable situation without harming the earth. 


The leader talked about ways to solve the problem of our cutting down of trees. He is trying to make a difference and teach the younger generation how to save the earth instead of bringing more harm to it and to protect our future. He had a valid argument that our government needs to respect nature more instead of being the ones to kill it, I could not agree more.

    This blog gives me hope for the Amazon to start surviving because there’s a big amounts of deforestation going on. Im Glade that a leader in Brazil is finally standing up to the problems we are facing with our forests. Planting trees is a good step forward on stopping global warming.

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...

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.  https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/wildlife-conservation/

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...
