What you can do to help?
Nicole Price
    I've noticed that I've spent a lot more time talking about conservation groups and what they do and why wildlife conservation is so important, and not a lot of time on how YOU can help. So I decided to take today's time to educate you all on ways that you can help preserve wildlife.
  1. Stand up for the wild and wildlife: Your voice matters!  
  2. Make your backyard wildlife-friendly: Turn your backyard into a safe place for butterflies and birds. All it takes is planting a few native plants or even just inserting a birdbath or feeder! 
    • Reduce light pollution
    • Look into container gardens for patios or balconies
    • Reduce the amount of lawn
  3. Protect the environment 
  4. Be an educated consumer: Know what you are consuming! That goes for food and other consumer products such as clothes and equipment. Support genuine efforts.                               There are so many ways for you guys to contribute to the welfare and conservation of wildlife and the ones I've named here are only the tip of the iceberg. We have to be the change we want to see and education is the best and first way to start initiating any sense of change. I encourage you all to look into ways that YOU can help preserve our wildlife.

    Nicole,
    I really like the idea of us being told about what we can do to help. It is important for your audience to be able to understand that there are bad things happening but here’s how this can be fixed. I think there is a lot of things outside of conservation groups that can benefit like you mention. Just today I cut up the plastic things that wrap around bottles to where no animal can get stuck in it. One of my favorite phrases is “its the small things that matters the most.” Great read!

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...
