Extinction is a natural selection process. Should humans strive to preserve a representative sample of all biomes or aquatic zones? Why should humans be concerned with the extinction rate? In my own opinion No but as u read more about it some things need to be preserved. For instance animals help the crops of the foods that we eat. Snakes help to cure different diseases. Humans help the plants and animals to grow. The fact that human beings are a species means that they depend on many other species

Although humans seem to interfere and even initiate this decline of animal population‚ we ourselves are a product of nature‚ and if allowing extinction benefits the overall wellbeing of our species‚ then it is our natural obligation to allow such extinction to take place.

For millions of years‚ extinction among animals was а natural process. In fact‚ it was part of the process of evolution. In recent years‚ however‚ the extinction of some species has been the result of human activities. Had it not been for these‚ many more animals would have survived. Some species have either been made extinct‚ or become

In this essay‚ I will be discussing the leading causes of the recent endangerment of both the North American bats and coral reefs. There are ultimate and proximate causes for each of these species continued extinction. In correlation‚ the extinctions of North American bats and coral reefs would severely impact other organisms in their ecosystem in any ways. Most recently biologists went to complete their annual bat census only to discover that an abundance of bats were quickly dying off or already

“Endangered languages should be saved” Many languages are at the danger of disappearance. The reason of their extinction could be the decrease in a number of people speaking that language. A 85% of 6000 languages appear to be spoken in 25 countries (NOW 2000). Language extinction is caused by external and internal factors. Internal forces such as community’s negative behaviour to mother language‚ or simply decrease in the number of speakers are mainly derived from factors such as military‚ economic

quick as you learn a trigger signal you can also not associate it with an event. If you normally ring a bell before feeding the dog and you just ring the bell without the food‚ the dog won’t associate the bell with food anymore. This is called extinction. Extinction is the diminished responding that occurs when the CS (tone) no longer signals an impending US (food). Wait a few hours and ring the bell with the follow up with food and the salivation to the tone would reappear spontaneously. A dog or human
