What could contribute to the extinction of a species?
MAN!
How many endangered species were there in 2005?
Hundreds of endanger species could be lost by 2025 due to habitat loss. As humans expand and change the landscape, it directly leads to the extinction of many species.
How could the extinction of non-human species threaten the long term survival of humans themselves?
I go to Hunter,too! I'm in 7-6!
What are reasons animals get endangered from hunting?
Animals get endangered from hunting because there could be the possibility of overhunting, which will reduce the population drastically from a species. Humans could also set traps that animals can step in. All in all, hunting could be a possibility of extinction of a species.
How could humans stop the extinction of the white tiger?
Don't kill them.
What could cause an extinction of global species?
Climate change, people slaughtering too many of the species, lack of food, ect.
What is an endangered speices?
the definition of endangered species is species who are close to extinction, or dying out; in the risk of extinction this is my personal definitionWhen an animals numbers become too low to sustain a viable population, it becomes an endangered species.
Can a tsunami cause extinction of a species?
Yes. If a certain area has a group of animals living in a compact space, that species could become extinct easily. Also, a tsunami could cover a large area, harming species and the food chain which could later lead to extinction.
How could humans prevent the extinction of saber-toothed tigers?
Saber toothed cats like smilodon went extinct 10,000 years ago. At that time, there was nothing humans could do.
What could cause extinction of a species after a major environmental change?
Their bodies aren't adapted to the new environment yet.
Because extinction is a natural process why should humans now be concerned with the extinction rate?
Because the extinction rate is conservatively 100 to 1,000 times higher because of humans. So if it wasn't for us the natural rate would be such that the environment could recover from it. It is true that we are a natural part of extinction, but we have also benefited many species of animal that we deem to have favourable characteristics. Cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry exist in huge numbers due to human activity. If an animal is not useful to humans, and is co-existing in the same habitat, its numbers will decline. Cuckoos invade the nests of other birds, substitute it's own eggs for the hosts, and lets them raise it's young. Is this wrong? Or is this nature at work? Humans are also nature at work, and we should only be concerned if a species benefiting us is in decline.
How does global warming affect extinction?
Global warming changes natural habitats making them unliveable for many species ==== Global warming was the first effect identified that was shown to lead to species extinction events. For instance, a mountain frog would migrate from lower to higher elevations annually to survive. The species is now extinct because of global climate instability. The frog reached the top of the mountain and it was still too warm and their species died, all of them; extinct. There is a difference between Mass Extinction and Global Extinction. Mass Extinction is where a large percentage of a species dies. -- This is like a plague that wipes out 90% of a species Global Extinction is where the entire population of a species becomes extinct. -- This is like the mountain frog, it is completely extinct -- Melting of the Methane Permafrost could release enough methane to kill all humans Total Extinction is where all species globally become extinct; including ourselves. -- A large asteroid, black hole on a trajectory with our solar system, a near region super-nova, super-volcano eruption, abnormally large Solar Mass Ejection, ...
