Soft engineering works in harmony with the natural environment and is effective in protecting the coast. To what extent do you agree with this view? I agree with this view to a great extent.

“We won’t have a society if we destroy the environment” (Margaret Mead). Climate change effects many things including living things. It affects living things by changing the temperature which causes plants to die, animals to suffer, sea level rises, and other living things to get damaged. Climate change causes the oceans to get warmer which […]

The Arctic sea ice is swiftly shrinking and decreasing in size. The degree to which the sea ice cover has been reducing for the past number of years is alarming. The observable evidence points to a decline in the sea ice thickness and a decrease in the depth of the recurrent ice cover. A universal […]

Scientists often claim we know less about the oceans of the Earth than we do about the solar system. Despite this apparent lack of knowledge, people often hold very high interests in the microorganisms and unknown species residing within the oceans. One of the greatest mysteries of the ocean that consistently has people discussing its […]

The final stages of dehydration in the human body can be compared to the process of a dying species. The body will shrink, brain cells will shrivel, muscles will seize, and the kidneys will shut down. Similarly, when a species is dying, it undergoes various assaults that affect its chemical and electrical pathways leading to […]

In a study conducted by Tuddao, the main objective was to identify significant risks to freshwater biodiversity and suggest conservation strategies to tackle them. The author acknowledges that Lake Lanao has experienced a noticeable deterioration in its water quality, which is primarily caused by water pollution. This pollution is the main reason for the lake’s […]

The first argument, against protection of biodiversity, states that “at a macro level, there is a tradeoff between production/consumption of timber and production/consumption of related environmental amenities”. In terms of economy that is very true, however, I believe the author is missing some points. Even though people face tradeoffs in their lives, most of the […]

Viewing the elaborate exhibitions of ocean life and biodiversity was an enlightening and entertaining experience. These displays and the Imax film, Coral Reef Adventure, introduced me to the incredible diversity and crucial roles of some of the Earth’s ecosystems. These vivid installations enabled better understanding of the importance of preserving these ecosystems to sustain all […]

At least 441 previously unknown animals and plants, including a monkey that produces a sound similar to a cat’s purr, were discovered in the Amazon rainforest during a four-year timeframe. Callicebus caquentensis, a new species of titi monkey identified by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), has been deemed “remarkable” and was discovered between 2010 and […]

Although these five footings appear to be rather simple, there are frequently many complex issues environing them. Therefore, it is necessary to derive a greater apprehension […]

This undertaking is about look intoing the biodiversity and the importance of continuing biodiversity. Each group have chosen an Arabian species to measure it and to look into its position. Every member of the group has to compose one portion of the study. Investigating biodiversity, the position of the species and how can we protect […]

The preservation of wildlife and the environment has been vital throughout history, from ancient times to the present day. As far back as pre-colonial era, King Asoka of Magadha put in place a law to safeguard their protection. During colonial times, the British enacted two laws in India called the Wild Birds Protection Act, 1887 […]

What does biodiversity mean? It is a word used to describe the variety of all life in an ecosystem in addition to the specific habitats and communities in which they live (Convention on Biological Diversity). For years, people have been going back and forth on whether the environment is overprotected or underprotected. I believe that […]

The preservation of biodiversity is a crucial environmental concern. Habitat alteration, the introduction of exotic species, pollution, rapid population growth, and overconsumption all pose threats to the world’s biological heritage. The loss of global biodiversity is recognized as a significant public concern. Furthermore, the natural environment plays a vital role in providing humans with essential […]

  1.Climate Change—This catch-all includes rising sea levels, changes in rainfall patterns, more severe droughts and floods, harsher hurricanes and other windstorms, and new pathways for disease. 2.Energy—For big energy users, resource and energy productivity may become a major point of strategic advantage (or disadvantage if they don’t learn to properly utilize future and existing […]

The lionfish is an invasive species that poses significant problems in the southern coast of the United States and Caribbean. Its rapid spread is concerning, but its proliferation is not the only concern. The lionfish’s dangerous nature stems from its large size, vibrant colors, and poisonous tentacles resembling a lion’s mane. It is no wonder […]

I disagree with the notion that wild animals are redundant in the current century and therefore we need not waste our precious resources in protecting them. I believe that the conservation of these species should be our top priority as they are our most precious resources. In the following paragraphs I shall put forth my […]

There are many different benefits that can be derived from Ecotourism if it is used as a tool by local communities rather than large outside interests.  However, the results are a direct reflection of the motivation behind the project. Since these motivations are often mixed it follows that the results are often mixed too.  The […]

There are currently 1. 4 million described species on earth, but estimates of as many as 5 to 50 million total species have been projected to exist (Becher, 1998, 60). Tropical entomologist Terry Erwin’s research supports that there may be as many as 30 million insect species alone in the tropical rainforests (Shiva et al, […]
