What are Wombats threat to wildlife?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They may fight and kill one another over many things like greed because of the food other things such as having babies if they get along and you may not want more wombats those are the things you should worry about

If you have wombats, the only thing to worry about is being caught by the authorities for illegally having Australian native wildlife. If you have a wildlife carer's licence, you already have the information you need.

What are differences between wildlife sanctuaries and national parks?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The difference is one of designation.

Wildlife sanctuaries are the most generic of the terms listed in the question. Wildlife sanctuaries may be public or private, and managed by any level of government or private entity.

National Parks are managed by federal governments. They often preserve natural settings, but also cultural and historically significant sites.

Biosphere Reserve is a designation extended by the United Nations Environmental, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to recognize the significance of an intact ecosystem. This status helps protect places in poor countries that cannot afford to take care of such places, and offers leverage in protecting national parks from international threats (such as pollution).

Area in square miles of the arctic national wildlife refuge in Alaska?

Sometimes simple questions do not lead to simple answers. This is one of them. The Artic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) is a huge frontier area and COULD contain many structures that contain oil. I have capitalized "could" for a good reason (note: This is the first time that I have raise my voice by using all capitals on a verb). ANWR may not have any commercially producible oil deposits. The US Geological Service estimated 5.7 to 16.0 billion barrels of technically - recoverable oil could exist in ANWR. Again, that could word. Could zero barrels of recoverable oil exists? The answer is yes! To understand why there may be no oil in ANWR, I have included a second link, also from Wikipedia, on the North Atlantic oil deposits, which was another huge area. In this case, it was estimated that 7.2 billion barrels of oil could existed and 27.5 tillion cubic feet of gas could exist. After drilling five wells that failed to discover any oil, all exploration efforts came to an end. How is it that the geological estimates are so wrong? Do not blame the geologists- but the lack of data on which to base their estimates. Given the enormous size of ANWR, one would think that there must be some oil there. But is there sufficient quantity of oil and can oil be produced at a sufficient rate, so the investors (oil companies) can profit? Wikipedia states that there are no reserves (economically producible known oil) in ANWR only resources. Oil companies have walked away from large deposits, when the cost of development is more than their expected revenues. So, how much is there? Best guess is 0 to 16 billion barrels, with zero reserves being a definite possibility. How can we know better? Wells have to be drilled. Why aren't we doing this? Legal restrictions based on environmental concerns. If laws are changed, the next challenge may be the willingness of oil companies to make huge investments in a frontier area.

A place where one could find sanctuary?

Asked by Wiki User

Is first and foremost within yourself, in your understanding of what the Buddha taught (known as "the dharma"), in those who practice what the Buddha taught ("the sangha") and in the Buddha himself as an example of what can be achieved with diligent practice and study.

So the Buddhist place of refuge or rest is quite portable.
