Protecting biodiversity is essential to the natural environment of our global ecosystem. Regardless of the hypothetical hierarchy that has become established stating that a certain individual or group(s) have power over others is outrageous. We are all interconnected in the web of life, needing to coexist more cooperatively. There are numerous accounts of human degradation dispersed around the world. The sooner the number of accounts declines, the sooner our global quality can incline. Everything being so intertwined causes processes to rely upon each other and every system in order to thrive in its own most abundance. If one section of the environment were doing poorly, the other would then become devastated without the beneficial nutrients provided by the certain cycles coinciding with progressions in other varying areas. For example, if a forest is lacking rain, it begins to degrade since the lack of water ceases to hydrate the earth, the necessary irrigation and fertilization is unable to run its course. Which means there is less and less abundance yearly ergo encountering deforestation. There are many other ways to degrade a globe that the numerous residents have absurdly conceived and conducted. Cars are a leading entity of the devastating destruction deployed from oil barons. They are extremely harmful in their own form due to the excessive pollution exuding from the once concealed ‘black gold’. Also, as an ever-increasing population has unfortunately learned from the American way, you have to push the little meeker things around in order to get what you want. In order to have a living in some countries they need to farm, join an already thriving industry to produce a certain good, or grow it. Then, reaping the harvest, earn a wage or even a way of obtaining food. The Brazilian Rain Forest has an abundant amount of trees cut down for all sorts of reasons, grazing for cattle and shipment to the United States for fancy office desks. As of the 1900’s there was an installment by President McKinley on May 25, 1900 to protect fish, wildlife, and plants. The trees that are coming out of separate countries than that which they’re sold in, especially illegally, are unable to recycle the air or water that was within the region rooted. When trees or anything is removed from an ecosystem it causes an imbalance if persistently badgered. The more and more trees that are getting farmed for their valuable harvest, the less and less, essentially ‘lungs’, we have in the world. I have a theory that if more and more hemp was grown, like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln suggested, there would be a lot more jobs in the clothing industry (aside) and there would be 1/3 less pollution than when we were using the previous petroleum fuel. This would bring much cleaner air, and provide jobs for people whom were cutting down trees to provide for their previously deprived family. All of the preceding threats to biodiversity are critical to solve in order to create a more sustainable and healthy future. Once all the cycles are prolific in their accommodations, we can start focusing on other major issues, and continue moving forward as one world. Instead of this persistent belittling, harassing, and stealing from brothers and sisters. When bringing up the alterations in the fish, plants, and wildlife ecosystems surrounding certain areas, there comes the possibility of invasive species. Invasive species are extremely detrimental by feeding on the prey from previously dominant and natural predators, causing endangerment and extinction. Just recently there has been this Asian Carp scare with the salmon and charter fish industry. The possibility of obliterating salmon from the Michigan area completely would be catastrophic, even just for the fact of a source of food. Asian Carp feed on everything and anything that is smaller, and with the sea lamprey finally starting to subside from the Lakes, another species trying to swarm in is very nerve-racking. This deer season has had a scare as well with a disease dispersing throughout the herds and although not many hunters care, and are still looking for that rack to stuff and put over the fireplace, they still ravaged the woods (by no means is wrong to feed a family, but for sport, not exactly honorary) for a hide. If hunting was relieved for a year to let the disease run its course and separate from the herds, or at least let them build up immunities. I know when I was writing a paper last year for my Writing 150 class, I discussed the topic of deforestation and how is wasting this world into something it feels unhealthy to breath in, just by seeing cars driving and watching what they exhale while I inhale. Part of my paper was on deforestation and how not only the people and plants are affected, but also are the habitats of the animals that reside within the forests. In Africa there were a few men whom were mauled by lions after their home was destroyed and moved for human consumption. These acts and contributions that humans are making are appalling and severely vicious in my eyes. Instead of giving to the world, maybe planting a few trees, they’re ripping them down for a slightly cheaper burger at McCrusty burger. By no way, shape, or form is that a satisfying trade in my eyes, or in the world’s eyes. The lions tigers and bears are getting pretty irritated I think, might be time to say “Oh my”.
