Extinction of Species



The study of fossil record suggests that all species have a finite life span, and that species extinction is a process that occurs naturally, without human influence. The fragile balance of plants and animals that share the Earth took millions of years to develop. why should you visit mkomazi national park? 🦏

Some life forms have persisted in nearly their original state, surviving episodes of mass extinction. Some, like us, are relative newcomers. The ones that have perished will not return. Neither will the thousands of species that are disappearing each year due in large part to such human influences as habitat destruction, introduction of invasive species, nor over-harvesting.

Understanding tourism

If we continue reducing Earth’s biodiversity at this rate, the consequences will be profound. The web of life connects the smallest bacterium to the giant redwood and the whale. When we put that web in peril, we become agents of calamity.

It is difficult to quantify precisely how many species have become extinct to date. Biologists estimate species are being lost hundreds or even thousands of times of than normal. Many species may become extinct even before they are documented and described. Species extinction appears to be most prevalent on islands (real or “ecological islands”). Known animal and plant species are considered extinct when they have not been sighted for several decades. In spite of the alarming extinction, more kinds of creatures may be alive today than at any other single time in the planet's 4.6 billion years history. Whatever the cause of earlier extinctions, the major extinction is driven by human activity.

22 IMPORTANT POPULATION ECOLOGY TERMS

1. POPULATION Is a group of individuals of the same species that interact with each other in the same place at the same time. 2.  DEMOGRAPHY: The study of vital statistics of a population, including birth and death rates, age of first breeding, and fecundity. 3. BIRTH RATE: The average number of births per individual per unit of time. 4. DEATH RATE: The average number of deaths per individual per unit of time. 5. CARRYING CAPACITY (K): is the maximum population size of the species that the environment can sustain indefinitely, given the food, habitat, water, and other necessities available in the environment. The point where the realized growth of a population equals zero due to density-dependent factors that affect birth and death rates. 6. DENSITY : The number of individuals per area within the range of a species. 7. DENSITY- DEPENDENT FACTORS: Factors (e.g., disease, starvation, lack of nesting space) that cause declines in birth rates or increases in death rates due to intra...

The definition of Ecotourism

What is Ecotourism? Ecotourism is an enlightening nature travel experience that contributes to conservation of the ecosystem, while respecting the integrity of host communities'' (Scace, Grifone, and Usher 1992). Ecotourism is a sustainable alternative to mass tourism that: •Concerns travelling to a natural area with a traditional culture. •Feeds economic profit into local environmental protection and involves local people. •Increases awareness of biodiversity conservation principles among locals and tourists through minimizing visitor impact and promoting tourist education.
