Arctic Deer Case Study

Several factors may me directly or indirectly responsible for the declining numbers of the Canada's arctic region deer, and examining various evidences is necessary to find the reason for their reducing population. Increase in arctic area population leading to increased hunting may be a factor for the reducing arctic deer numbers. Also due to melting of sea ice may have affected the plants in the region. An increased number of other predators may also be the reason for reducing arctic deers, thus the purported decline may not be because of difficulty following the migration patterns.

Firstly, the deers search for food in areas warm enough to sustain plants, but cold enough for ice to cover the sea, for their migration. The climatic changes because of global warming may have affected the plants and other vegetation in the Canadian Arctic. The plants which were food for the deers may have been destroyed by the unfavorable conditions, resulting from the global warming. Along with it, due to decreasing …show more content…

Global warming is causing the arctic sea ice to melt. But still during the winters, the islands might not be inaccessible as all the ice from the arctic has not yet melted. Less ice on the sea might have caused the deers to be hunted by sea predators. Also the ways to the islands may be unsafe due to inconsistency in ice thickness. The migration to others islands might still be possible but the journey has become more dangerous than old times, killing most of the deers during the journey.

Thus, climatic change having reduced the food supply for deers; increased hunting might be the factors for reducing deer numbers and unsafe migrations may be possible reasons for declining deer numbers. Concluding, considering the mentioned points it may be possible that the purported decline of deer populations may not be because of their difficulty following age old migration

Humans consider polar bears as one of the cutest animals on the planet. Not only are they adorable, but they are also going extinct because of the warming temperatures in the Arctic. But what the public does not know is that the warmer weather is not the only thing killing off these animals; it is truly cannibalism. Rod Sterling's story, "Monsters Are Due on Maple street," reveals this surprising truth in a similar way. The story takes place in an ordinary neighborhood that is supposedly being attacked by aliens.

Introduction The Ochotona princeps, better known as the American Pika or Pika, is a small, little creature that is becoming one of the upcoming symbols of global warming ("American Pika"). The O. princeps are beginning to suffer from global climate changes to their habitat in the Western mountains of the United States ("American Pika"). In an experiment by Anna D. Chalfoun, Daniel F. Doak, and Leah H. Yandow, the effects of habitat and climate change on the Pika abundance in two mountain ranges is tested to see how global warming is impacting the species (Chalfoun. Doak, and Yandow).

Conversely, the speaker suggests there are juveniles in the herd, which cannot travel for long distance, they may slow down the migration speed.

A deer is a mammal that is is found in the woods and is often hunted for recreational use. My first link is a site that tells the learner different facts about deer, just because facts are often fun to know. The next link is about the biggest deer ever killed because in North Carolina deer hunting is very popular and everyone wants to kill a big buck. I then provided a link that shows which species of deer are endangered because they may be overpopulated in North Carolina that does not mean that they are everywhere. I also provided a site that talks about white-tail deer in North Carolina.

The three modes of persuasion used to convince an audience are known as ethos, logos and pathos (http://pathosethoslogos.com/). The three modes are different in their use but are all three necessary to win an argument. An author would use ethos to prove that he is a reliable source to present the material or provide a reliable source to make his case. He or his source might offer credentials or provide proof that the source is credible.

How would you feel to have your dog or your cat to be gone all of a sudden and him never coming back? The wolf population is rising and we should be able to hunt the wolves and be able to regulate their population. Wolves have been around for millions of years and our ancestors were able to hunt them so why can’t we? Wolves can be very dangerous especially when it comes to baby livestock when they aren’t able to protect themselves.

Document A states, "Climate change is warming the Arctic along with the rest of the planet — and in the Arctic, that means sea ice is melting," (DA) This is important for many reasons. Document A claims, "Sea ice is crucial for polar bears survival," and that "Most scientists agree that these trends spell likely trouble for polar bears. " This shows that the Arctic melting impacts polar bears and other Arctic animals, but that is not the only reason the artic melting is bad. The Arctic ice melts into water and Document H shows that millions of people all around the world would be flooded out of their homes.

Poaching and illegal hunting can cause an off set in the ecosystem by overhunting animals. When one animal population decline drastically, other organisms are affected too. The decline in native predators is the main cause for overpopulation of animals like deer. Deer overpopulation has led to rapid decrease vegetation life causing other animals to be put at risk. Removing predators from the food web disrupts the entire balance of an

Apart from the sea ice, the polar bears have very few alternatives left when the ice melts and when their access to the ringed seal prey disappears with their habitat. The charismatic arctic hunters cannot adjust and sustain themselves on another food source. If the devastating process of climate change continues, there wouldn’t be a thin sheet of ice left for these extraordinary animals to survive

One of the main reasons polar bears are going extinct is because they aren’t getting the right amount of food they need to survive. Seals, the main food source for the polar bears, are animals that depend largely on the algae that grows on the ice of the Arctic. With the ice content slowly depleting, there isn’t enough seals to sustain the polar bear population. One of the
