Conservation

 Matheus Storck Paúra 

  There are many natural resources on earth, such as air, soil, plants, minerals, water and wildlife. Conservation is the protection and care of these resources for everyone today and in the future. The search for the sustainable use of nature by man, for activities such as hunting, logging or mining, while preservation means protecting nature from human use. However, due to the large population growth these resources are increasing at rates and making them unsustainable, thus leading to loss of biodiversity which destroys the habitat of other beings, climate changes, outbreaks. The extinction of species is related to the decline of biodiversity.

   Conservation practices and policies - ranging from the removal of invasive species, a reserve of protected land for wildlife and plants, to the establishment of the US Endangered Species Act (ESA) - have been put into practice to combat these pressures of conservation. extinction. Thousands of species are at risk of extinction, despite conservation efforts likely many species will be gone in the next few years.

    I also had the topic of conservation. I found it crazy that many of the reasons that some of these animals are losing their habitats because of humans. I felt like you did a great job explaining the dangers and the reasons why this is happing.

    Very good job on your blog. I found it appealing that you had explained what conservation is and the mission of ESA. I think that people need to speak about this more as the loss of animals can impact our environment very soon.

    Your blog is very interesting. I like it because you explain what means conservation through the mission of ESA. It’s a topic important in our life and we must be careful.

    I really enjoyed reading your blog and I like how you explained what the cause of extinction could be. I never realized how much biodiversity affects extinction. I also liked how you gave a solution to the problem. Although the solution may not be able to save all species I think it is good that we are at least trying to combat the problem. I also liked how you put a picture because that shows some of the cute animals we could lose to this problem.

On Shaky Ground

By: Hannah Meadows The New Madrid fault line is a growing danger right under peoples feet. Most people don’t realize how catastrophic it would be if the fault line went off and the worst part… there is no telling when it will go off. Usually, earthquakes wouldn’t be an issue in places like California because all of their buildings are built to withstand earthquakes. However, the New Madrid fault line sits right along southern Missouri and Missouri is known for its sedimentary rock. This means an earthquake in Missouri would cause all buildings and houses to be buried since they aren’t built to withstand earthquakes. Now what would the statistics really look like if the New Madrid fault line were to go off unexpectedly?  84,000 buildings damaged and 37,000 more destroyed, almost entirely residences  Over 15,000 people killed and an additional 120,000 displaced Nearly 200 schools and over 100 fire stations would be damaged  37 hospitals and 67 police stations would be compl...

Energy: Hydropower Pros and Cons

Image
 Hydropower is not often talked about as a primary option for sustainable energy, however, 6.6% of energy produced in the U.S. is through hydropower, compared to solar energy which happens to only be 2.3% and is usually the first thought when someone mentions “clean energy.” The reason for this being the majority hydropower plants only give energy to large-scale, industrial operations.  Hydropower boasts a few positives that make it a viable option, those being that it is reliable, safe, and produces a very low amount of emissions. Other than that, they are fairly expensive to build, and they have a very realistic potential to cause droughts. Hydropower is an interesting source of energy and as of now it is only really used for industrial use, however in the future there is a very real possibility for it to be used to power residential areas.  https://www.solarreviews.com/blog/hydroelectric-energy-pros-and-cons#pros-and-cons

They called it a shrinking world because our technology is getting even better and better. Anyways going into the article there is a graph and a description of the burgeoning population of the globe. After it talk about this problem it gets into how this can help our food problem and how we are on our way to a new type of farming. It ends off with them giving numbers on there work with BI intelligence and how much money they made in 2020 and what they are projected to make in 2050.
