My Gut Level Response
My gut level reaction is to say that’s a stupid thing to say. I’s not true to an extent. Just because something may not last forever, speeding up the inevitable doesn’t do anything productive and is a jerk move. Also, if a species is removed too early, it unbalances an ecosystem which would cause early extinction for other forms of life. People can argue that we humans will eventually be extinct, so why do we exist and try to continue to

    While we currently have a vast knowledge of various animals and plants and what purposes we can use them for, we have to recognize that there are countless other species out there that we have little to no knowledge about that could possibly have beneficial uses. Even the species we have a deep understanding of could surprise us in the future when we have better technology to research them more profoundly. The Author is trying to convey a message about how we are just killing off potential species…

    Important fact to consider is extinction risk is much smaller than total percentage of species influenced by climate change. This is a crucial little explored supporting detail to the author's claim of need to urgently curb climate change. Studies incorporate factors that both increase or decrease predicted risks. Evolution is the major factor for decreasing predicted risks, and it happens pretty slow. The extinction risk is predicted to grow exponentially with each degree of climate change. It's apparent we need to act now to save…

    This work POL 310 Week 4 Discussion Questions 2 Biodiversity, Extinction, and Making Choices in Policy contains answers on the following tasks: "Some people argue that since extinctions have always taken place, they should be considered a natural process and that the current extinction rates are not a matter of concern. Others point out that the preservation of biodiversity is essential to the continuation of life on Earth and that human actions have greatly accelerated the extinction rate. Should the policy process take into consideration all competing positions…

    The article “River Plan Too Fishy For My Tastebuds” by Bill McEwen shows how the River Restoration Project is flawed in so many ways. McEwen proves to be more credible because he has worked for the Fresno Bee for 35 years and that shows he is very professional. This article was published by the Fresno Bee. The Fresno Bee receives an average of 8.6 million pageviews a month. The article was propagated in the six-county region of Fresno, Fresno is one of the fastest growing regions in California. There typical readers are farmers and poor people. The Fresno Bee cares more about the environment and the people. I disagree with the River Restoration Project because it isn’t worth the costs. It isn’t worth the costs because it is a project that will take many years to get started and it will worsen California's drought problem. This article by McEwen captures his take on ethos, pathos and logo by stating that several experts and .…

    Stuart Pimm offers a degree in Conservation Ecology from Duke University. His Argument focuses largely on humans are not ready for De-Extinction in that since humans were the ones that pushed them to disappear, they are not going to want those species back. He gives the example that “hunters at [the Pyrenean ibex] to extinction. Reintroduce a resurrected ibex to the area where it belongs and it will become the most expensive cabrito every eaten.” He notes that the problem is whether we can resurrect these species or not, but more along the lines of whether the rest of the population will accept the animals back in their original homes. He also believes that De-Extinction “seduces” those granting research money and support into thinking they are doing well when it simply gives “unscrupulous developers a veil to hide their rapaciousness, with promises to fix things later.”…

    Did you know that the animal population is decreasing by 0.1% each year. Therefore, it will take 573 years for all animals to die. What will we do then? Every time a species goes extinct, it has a huge impact on the ecosystem. Say a predator goes extinct. Its prey will overpopulate, which can also lead to horrible consequences. Or what if a prey goes extinct. Its predator will have find a new food source or go extinct with it. Also, in a recent survey, nine out of ten people said they would pay tax dollars to save the giant panda. One out of ten people said they would pay to save the Eurasian Hazel Dormouse. Nobody was interested in saving the Dung Beetle or Wasp. Why is this when they do so much for us. The Dung Beetle puts important…

    “De-extinction Probably isn’t Worth it”. This is the name of an article by Sarah Zielinski. I completely understand what she is talking about in her text, and I agree with her. De-extinction isn’t worth it mainly because it would take attention from other research, harm living creatures, and most of their habitats and food are gone.…

    Judging by the author 's persuasive pleas, this article is written to people who do not already share the author 's views entirely or in part. The journal, Social Research, is primarily written to scholars and learned individuals, but I think the general population just does not have enough knowledge on wild species and/or the direness of their situations to feel greatly motivated to act. Here, he could have supplied more information for the less knowledgeable majority, though it is not really necessary because of the journal 's target audience. In his writing, I think that Robinson assumes that humans want to take responsibility for dwindling numbers of wild species. This article would benefit here with logos. By using statistics as solid evidence he might supply an impetus for action. Robinson defines the problem beginning in paragraph two and continues through the sixth paragraph. He first…

    In addition to all natural resources on this planet fading away, there is an ever growing apprehension with the number of species of wildlife and the respective habitats of each. All over the world, nature preservation parks have been constructed just so a small group of people can be accountable to enforce certain guidelines for that preserve which support and ensure safety of life within that area. With more and more natural resources required to maintain our “natural” function of life, it is inevitable that the natural resources will run out sometime. It is only a question of when.…

    First of all, human beings are the main cause of animal extinction. We are producing pollution which affects the environment. For example, releasing waste water into the river and the sea, the leaking of petroleum from the ship into the sea, and air-pollution from factories. Those factors are also related not only to animal extinction but our ability to live comfortably. However we know that we will not be able to live without modern science. It means our life rely on modern science more than expected, so we need to think about what can we do for the animal extinction. I think it is a duty and obligation of everybody to help prevent animal extinction. People must be educated to know about the negative effect like loss of some animal species and the impact on human way of life and a chain of life. For instance, Birds eat insects and insects eat plants and vegetables. If there are fewer birds, there will be a lot of insects. If there are too many insects, insects will eat many plants and vegetable. Then we will not have enough food to eat. Therefore we need to avoid this situation, we have to know what we have done to them and we need to change our life-style.…

    At the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, just 200 years ago, our population went into rapid exponential growth. Now at 6.3 billion, we are experiencing a global increase of 250,000 more people (births over deaths) every day! It's the equivalent of adding a San Diego to the world population in less than a week, all of Mexico in a year, and the entire North American population every three years. As our numbers increase, the numbers of many other species decline. Our population now exceeds that of any other primate species by over 10,000 fold; we are causing their extinction, literally by crowding them off the surface of the Earth.…
