Environment Changes

Extinction of a particu lar animal or plant species occurs when there are no more individuals of that species alive anywhere in the world, or the species has died out, and endangered species on the other hand, are animals and plants considered to be in danger of extinction. A species may be listed as endangered at the state, federal, and international levels. The endangered species list is managed nationally under the Endangered Species Act.  What are endangered species?  The Endangered Species Act includes lists of globally and nationally protected species of flora and fauna. When the ESA protects a species, it is considered a "listed" species. Many other species are being evaluated for possible ESA protection and are referred to as “candidate” species. The Endangered Species Act is important because it prevents our native fish, plants, and wildlife from extinction. Once gone, they are gone forever, and there is no way back. The loss of a single species can have...

Effects of Environment Changes The effects of environmental changes can be catastrophic and far-reaching, affecting all aspects of life on our planet. Here are some potential repercussions: 1. Loss of Biodiversity : Environmental changes can cause the extinction of species and loss of biodiversity, disrupting entire ecosystems and threatening the balance of our planet's natural systems.       2.  Habitat Destruction : Changes to the environment can lead to the destruction of habitats, such as forests and coral reefs, which can have cascading effects on the entire ecosystem.       3. Climate Change : Environmental changes can cause climate change, leading to rising sea levels, more frequent and severe natural disasters, and altered weather patterns that can cause droughts, floods, and wildfires.       4. Health Impacts : Environmental changes can have significant health impacts, including air pollution-related re...

  Causes and Effects of Depletion of Natural Resources The depletion of natural resources occurs when resources are consumed at a faster rate than their replacement. Natural resources are those resources that are in existence without human actions, and they can either be renewable or non-renewable When it gets down to the discussion of natural resource depletion, it is a term used in reference to water usage, farming, fossil fuel consumption, fishing, and mining. And above all, natural resources depletion is defined on the premise that the value of a resource is measured in terms of its availability in nature. What is Resource Depletion? Resource depletion happens when the consumption of renewable or non-renewable resources becomes scarce, as they are consumed at a faster rate than they can be replenished. The term resource deletion is most commonly used with fossil fuels, water usage, fishing, mining, logging etc. Defines resource depletion as, “ Res...
