Download or read book Saving Endangered Species written by Robert W. Shumaker and published by Johns Hopkins University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-27 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The amazing true stories of the greatest wildlife champions of our time. Wildlife conservation is at a critical juncture. While large, charismatic mammals may be the first animals that come to mind—the mere 3,000 wild tigers still in existence, the giraffes declared endangered for the first time just last year—it is not only these magnificent keystone species disappearing. A full third of all studied birds, reptiles, and mammals have suffered devastating population losses, and a third of all insects are now endangered, including crucial pollinators that sustain worldwide food supply. Over 15,000 animal species are now considered to be threatened with extinction. There are, however, bright spots that provide optimism—many of them due to the efforts of a small group of scientists and activists. In Saving Endangered Species, Robert W. Shumaker brings together ten conservation heroes, seven of them winners of the Indianapolis Prize, three of them recipients of the Jane Alexander Global Wildlife Ambassador Award. With moving immediacy, each wildlife defender offers their unique perspective on the state of wildlife conservation and the future of the natural world. Bringing to life their work in the field, each contributor also explains key concepts in wildlife conservation, reveals why they are important, and discusses what kinds of work can be done to address biodiversity loss. Contributors sharing their stories in their own words include • George Schaller, one of the founding fathers of wildlife conservation, who conducted the field work that resulted in the establishment of the world's largest wildlife preserve, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge • Iain Douglas-Hamilton, who is widely credited with developing the metrics and methods that stemmed the tide of elephant poaching for ivory in Africa • Steven Amstrup, who discovered the disturbing truth that the sea ice polar bears rely on for traveling, hunting, and raising their young was disappearing • Russell Mittermeier, who has discovered over 20 new animal species, conducted field work in more than 30 countries around the globe, and authored 15 books on biodiversity • Harrison Ford, Academy Award–winning actor, who has been a passionate wildlife advocate and board member of Conservation International for over 25 years • Sigourney Weaver, three-time Academy Award nominee, whose work with the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund has helped save thousands of gorillas in Rwanda and Congo This unique book aims to win new recruits, inspire biologists and conservationists already in the field, and illustrate the profession's fundamental scientific tenets through wildlife champions' own exciting narratives. Covering issues from reproduction and prey-predator relationships to population dynamics and community engagement, Saving Endangered Species also addresses such thorny topics as overhunting, retaliatory killing by farmers, development-driven habitat loss, and the illegal wildlife trade. By encompassing a broad spectrum of subjects, this volume ultimately gives readers a first-person look into what it takes to dedicate oneself to the crucial field of wildlife conservation.

Book excerpt: This work is about an investigating reporter. Marcus Wilton. Reporter, Marcus Wilton, has a strong sense of duty. He writes a daily column and front spread feature articles on getting justice for the underrepresented. People call on his help when the judicial system and all else fails. and is at wit end. he was their last resort. The big conglomerates media shy away from those suffering the oppression of injustice. It wasn’t news worthy, until it becomes news. Then like vulture the feeding frenzy starts This is why he report and will not stay silent; Marcus has been called a loose cannon when his investigation brings about the fall from grace of powerful individual who thought they were above the law. many truths have been exposed because of his articles. Political giants who have been manipulating the law for decades. ***** What inspires me? [one] always the changing season {two words] and [three] languages. Each in their yearly abode fills me with revolving inspiration. Seeing life through the eyes of time. Each have an ever-ongoing amazing story to tell. Words in its wonderful alluring seductiveness. Words seduce mind soul and spirit. One runs with it laugh with it cries with it and marvel at it unravel and reveal new avenues, crescents, byways broad and narrow openings. Words allow us to expresses it with million-fold intensity. One word sown in sadness or joyful gladness releases in fulness; several hundred thousand words page turner. So delightful. One sit down to write and enter into the mystery of words; and onto that countless way that will take us in many twists and turns. And yes, we can still find the... Unique. Words with many connections; like planets and stars in the universe. Words have a real presence and a grand consistency. And languages. Not of nations, country or region of people; but of people as worked related. A police officer speaks with a language much different from a solicitor, barrister or judge. So different from the everyday Joe and Jane. Doctors, and those within the medical field have another kind. Criminals also have this separate language especially those in organised crime. The mafia drug dealers and suppliers. Street peddlers market stall traders. Stock market traders extricate from all others language, and is embedded with signs. The picture I am trying to paint is of autumn leaves in the fall. Nature colours at their natural best.
Download or read book Between Two Pages written by Susan Hubenthal and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2003-08-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of wounded parents, whose children have died from a drug overdose or suicide related to substance abuse, came together on the website GriefNet.org. Each one was damaged by misplaced blame and guilt because they couldnt rescue their children. So deeply filled with sorrow they were unable to find a life after death. They have become a family-in-grief, crying together and comforting one another. The public must be educated to the reality of the War on Drugs. There are people who still believe in the junkie stereotype. Many presume, that, these children were weak willed and deserved what was coming to them. Some people are judgmental, uneducated, mean spirited, or have blinders on. Drugs created a helplessness, in these children, that is hard for outsiders to understand. Kicking the drug habit is incalculably difficult! Also powerless are the secondary victims, those who are left behind to cope with the losses this dreadful disease has caused. Each child that died left behind a parent whose life is now changed forever. They cannot erase the horror of that moment when they first heard that their child had died. The nightmares and the visions of their children dying continue to haunt them.
Download or read book The Codex of the Endangered Species Act written by Lowell E. Baier and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-07-25 with total page 865 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA) is one of the most cherished and reviled laws ever passed. It mandates protection and preservation of all the nation’s species and biodiversity, whatever the cost. It has been a lightning rod for controversy and conflicts between industry/business and environmentalists. The year 2023 marks the 50th anniversary of this law, and provides an opportunity for a measured and thorough evaluation thereof. We cannot know today’s challenges and opportunities without understanding their histories. This book is the most comprehensive history of the ESA ever published, and the first to consider the entire history of the law from all angles in a single volume. The history of the ESA has been one of increasing impact, complexity, and controversy. In 1978, the Supreme Court declared that Congress intended for the U.S. government to save all species at any cost, and thereafter application of the ESA became steadily more controversial, as seen in the example of the northern spotted owl and the timber wars in the Pacific Northwest in the late 1980s and early 90s, and then everywhere as the ESA became a political football in the highly partisan environment of the late 1990s and amendments to the law ceased. This book is not only a history, but a call to action. It will take more conservation, more funding, and more innovative solutions if we are to save our wildlife and biodiversity. It will take the engagement to every American to muster the collective will to meet this challenge. The hope of this book is that we will be able to look back and say that we accomplished more in the second 50 years of the ESA than we did in the first.

Download or read book Endangered Species written by Jan A. Randall and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A detailed exploration of the variety of threats that endangered species are facing around the world, whether they are due to human impact or so-called natural causes. Endangered species is a more complex issue and problem than it may seem on the surface. What species are endangered, and what is causing them to become vulnerable to population decline? How can essential industries such as farming, housing development, and manufacturing continue to thrive without harming flora and fauna that are protected? Are current efforts adequate or should more be done to protect endangered species? And who should be responsible for the substantial costs of working to save endangered species? Endangered Species: A Reference Handbook begins with an introduction that addresses major threats and extinctions in history, discusses the geographical and cultural contexts in which these incidents happened, highlights other key moments along the endangered species timeline, and clearly shows why the topic of endangered species matters. The following sections examine an unbiased synthesis of classic and contemporary studies that inform the issue of endangered species and outline the most controversial events related to endangered species and the actions that have been taken to address them. The book also presents perspective essays by scholars, activists, and other experts to provide diverse informed opinions on the issue of endangered species and includes a data and documents chapter that applies research finding to provide answers to questions like what species are most likely to become endangered in the future and which practices have historically been the most effective at protecting vulnerable species.
