natural habitats are being exposed to. Their natural habitats consist of grasslands‚ fields‚ suburbs‚ and cities‚ which are often poisoned by organophosphate pesticides‚ pollution‚ and other harmful chemicals that are poisonous to barn owls. Predatory animals such as the barn owl are threatened by these harmful chemicals‚ as they may be ingested by the barn owl’s prey or directly by the barn owl.Barn Owls prey on mice‚ vole‚ and small birds‚ all of which can be found in their natural habitat: grasslands

Deforestation is when people burn or cut down a group of trees. It has many negative effects on environment such as climate change‚ clearing of habitats‚ and killing millions of species. The trees are used for fuel‚ to create commercial items such as paper‚ and highly prized items such as palm oil from palm trees. “Deforestation in Amazon Basin is destroying the habitat and endangers a multitude of plant and animal species indigenous to the area.” Deforestation is not only the clearing of forests

Salt Marshes • Salt marshes are found along low lying coastlines where boggy ground is flooded by sea water either daily or less frequently. • Many UK salt marshes have been reclaimed for farm land‚ but those that remain provide valuable habitats where salt-tolerant plants grow and birds nest. Salt marshes also pay a vital role for coastal protection‚ they contain creeks which allow tidal waters to flow both in and out which reduces the wave energy. Plants in the marsh are also effective

The growing rate of extinction can be reversed‚ but we‚ as humans‚ must first realize that it is important to stop the main causes of extinction: exploitation and disturbance‚ global climate change and pollution‚ and most importantly‚ habitat destruction.

In accordance with these necessities‚ there are a number of survival techniques used by organisms in this kingdom. These techniques can fall within the category of adaptations‚ which help these organisms adapt to various habitats. This kingdom falls in the domain Eukaryota‚ and there are nearly 40 different phyla

If asked to define a freshwater habitat‚ we would almost immediately think of water and fishes. While it is true that those two components usually dominate- they are most evident there- a freshwater habitat is in fact a community of not just plants and animals‚ but of microorganisms as well. Also‚ not forgetting in the mix the non-living‚ biotic and components like soil‚ climate and water. Include all of that along with the complex interrelationships among the organisms and the environment‚ and we

Save the tigers Someday‚ we may never see tigers again because tigers are on the critically endangered list‚ which is why the National Zoo was celebrating Global Tiger Day. This is happening because of poaching and habitat changes. Large plantations have replaced a lot of tiger habitat in several tropical range countries. Tigers occupy only around 7 percent of their historic range. The current wild tiger population is at as few as 3‚200 tigers‚ including only about 400 Sumatran tigers‚ which are listed
