reading Muir for another class and weve looked into the the way that the natives were ingrained into the land and they lived life as the land is apart of them and living in the land but not on the land.

Time is a huge factor in if an experiment is able to get off the ground since time is money it is easier to get funding for something that does not take a lot of time. But in the case of viewing populations it might need to take years to complete which could be an issue in order to get funding

I do not think that any real progress can be done for protected areas unless the guidelines are set on a global level. I think this is also true for emissions as well one place is ruining the work that a place that is more strict is doing for the environment.

I did a project on this last semester and everything that we use in the shower can be harmful to the waters and pharmaceuticals can also be excreted and get past water treatment and go into waters but there are few studies around the world of the impacts on their effects.

I think that incentivising the people who are harming the species would be better off since they already are not caring that there is a punishment in place for harming the animals

all of these dont mention water when it has been said half of the oxygen we breathe comes from marine organisms.

One species that is severely lacking in genetic diversity is cheatahs, they are so closely related that skin grafts have successfully been transplanted from one cheetah to another

This reminds me of golf courses and how they will replace that grass that is already there and put new species in and will leave the out of bounds areas untouched. I wonder how have the new species of grass will affect the native species of the area

This is a crazy stat how these hot spots can be less than 2% of the earth's land but contain more than half of the species. Make you think how many species that humans have brought to extinction with deforestation and development.

there is also bacteria used to clean water from oil it was used to clean the bp oil spill

This to me shows how not being in their eyes with god how they will get to the wilderness in the afterlife being hell as they try to avoid it by being very religious

This to me shows that the perception of wilderness is staying from god and not going to heaven in the afterlife

I think that we well never truly be able to grasp the number of species there are in the world until the ocean is fully discovered as we know much more about what is out there in space in comparison to what is known about the ocean

I think that technology can be a good and a bad with conservation because there is good uses of technology like bioremediation with water treatment but consumerism creates so much waste and everyone wants the newest tech creating a cycle of want and waste
