Beaver ponds- Pollution would effect the well being of beavers and the water they live in. Also, the hunting and killing of beavers for their leather fur. Rain and harsh wether could easily destroy a beavers work and their population may falter. On last limiting factor is available food sources for the beavers. Over fishing causes a lack of food for the beavers which effects them
The golden frog was usually seen throughout El Valle and nearby towns the locals begin to notice that they no longer was seeing the frogs around and throughout the towns nearby. The golden frog in bright in color and can blend into the back ground of the rainforest Kolbert describes “ the panama golden frogs are toxic it's been calculated that the poison contained in the skin of just one animal could kill a thousand average size mice hence the do color makes them stand out against the forest floor.(Kolbert p19). Kolbert States Millions of frogs or being found belly up throughout Panama researchers from all over did not have a direct conclusion to why the golden frog were dying all over. Biologist grew alarmed about this species and why the golden frogs has vanished from the
Animals were migrating to different parts of the country which is a huge problem because it causes invasive species. Invasive species become in competition with the native animals and sometimes causes native species to die off or migrate somewhere else. Animals were found dead in the fields with dust covering their entire body. Most of the deaths in wild animals were caused from lack of food and drinking water. The disease rate in animals also increases drastically.

One project that they are currently working on is figuring out ways to help the amphibian population thrive as it is diminishing in Iowa and across the globe. The two main causes to their decline are habitat loss and contamination. In the state of Iowa the conversion from wetlands, their habitat, to farmland is the cause for their population decline. The Iowa Cooperative Fish & Wildlife Unit has radio tracked 72 leopard frogs. After they finished tracking them they euthanized and analyzed them for pesticide content.
Around the world, poison frog populations have been declining due to unknown reasons. Two experiments were conducted promptly in order to find the cause of the disappearances. One hypothesis suggested that the poison frogs are in a decline because of an infectious fungus called chytrid fungus. On the contrary, another hypothesis alludes to the idea that decreasing leaf litter is causing the widespread decline. Although it seems that there are multiple reasons for the decline, it is unquestionable that, according to the data from the experiments, that leaf litter is one of the main components of the decreasing population of poison frogs, having multiple replicates of data is important in finding the answer to the decline, and that there is much more to investigate about this problem.
Due to the major loss of land Louisiana’s land many animal populations have decreased dramatically and are either endangered or exist. The land loss has lead to other major problems such as easier chances of being hit by natural disasters like hurricanes. Approximately half the nation’s original wetland habitats have been lost over
Water Pollution in San Joaquin Valley San Joaquin Valley is a place that stretches from 7 different counties such as Stanislaus to Kern county. San Joaquin Valley is known for their agriculture land since the late 19th century, which feeds most of the United States with the vegetables and fruits that are grown in the valley. The rich life of life in agricultural fields rely on the water supply that the valley contains such as groundwater and water on shore. Throughout the past decades, the water quality in San Joaquin Valley becomes to decrease from clean water to polluted water.
The problems that they have caused in Arizona is one of their biggest problem. They have completely overrun the ecosystem in Arizona which is a big problem. One of the biggest problem is that they can eat almost anything but the worst thing they have come to eat is themselves. The small and large frogs have become cannibalistic and have resorted to feasting on themselves. The worst point is that they have show no signs to stop their cannibalistic ways because unlike adult bullfrogs tadpoles are well feed with algae and insects and as long as they are well feed they look like decent meals to adult bullfrogs.

Moreover, zoos always respond to emergencies, such as deadly threats to one or another species, by providing specialists and establishing breeding and treatment programs (Borrell 9). Thereby, both articles express the opinion that zoos are important for conservation purposes as they provide a wide range of specialists and research data. More significantly, they react on emergencies and do their best to protect endangered
This exposure and education motivate people to protect the animals and provide entertainment. Zoos save endangered species by bringing them into a safe environment, where they are protected from poachers, habitat loss, starvation, and predators. “The Arabian Oryx was hunted to extinction in the wild. However, from just a handful of animals in captivity the species was brought back from the brink thanks the conservation efforts of Phoenix Zoo and others.
I looked up why most of them are going are going endangered. I found out that mostly Monkeys/apes/gorillas, rhinos, elephants, big cats, bears, penguins, whales, cold blooded & other ocean animals, canines, birds, and turtles. These are the most endangered groups. I’ll start off with the elephants. Elephant tusks are made out of ivory which is used for several things in China.
The WWF has already saved tons of Black Rhinos from southern Africa and Black Bucks in the
