PLANET!

What is happening to our planet?

Earth is located in a solar system, in

the Milky Way galaxy. So far, humans

haven’t discover any other planet

convenient for life. That’s why it’s so

important for it to be a safe place for us

to live in.

Unfortunately, our planet is in danger!

Its major problems are global warming,

deforestations and water shortages.

These cause a tuff life for over a half of

the people on this planet and the death

of lots of plants and animals. Swagxp.com

DOLPHINSDolphins are aquatic mammals.

They are endangered species.

Dolphins are very fast swimmers.

They can reach 60 km/h! Dolphins

are one of the smartest species in

the world. They even name their

babies! Some dolphin species like

the Baiji are already extinct! Other

species, like the Maui are in great

danger.Ask.com

ENTANGLEMENTDolphins are very susceptible to the entanglement in commercial fishing gear.

Discarded fishing gear poses a major threat as well. Entanglement drowns

dolphins because they are unable to reach the surface to breathe. Some dolphin

species are on the verge of extinction for this very reason.

HABITAT LOSS

River dolphins share their

habitat with a large

percentage of the world's

population which is

threatening their life. The

construction of dams, boat

traffic, and other waterfront

development are destroying

more and more their river

habitats at an alarming rate.

Wikipedia.org

COMMERCIAL HARVESTMany dolphin species are harvested

as a food source.

Despite containing toxic levels of

contaminants such as heavy metals in

their flesh, some countries continue to

hunt them.

These contaminants cause illness and

disorders in humans who consume

them.

CLIMATE CHANGEClimate change has many effects on the oceans which can have adverse impacts

on marine mammals, like dolphins. As ocean temperatures rise from climate

change, prey populations are affected. Climate change also affects ocean currents

witch are altering prey distribution, feeding grounds, and migratory pathways.

SOLUTIONS The government should pass a law that would ban hunting dolphins. But there are also things

that we could do to help these animals, like keeping the beaches clean or avoid throwing litter

into the rivers and seas. These acts may seem small, but they could save the marine ecosystem.

If many people did that, the waters would be a safer home not just for dolphins, but for many

other animals.

LYNXLynx is a medium

size wild cat, in

Romania. It is an

endangered

species and it is

defended by law

since 1970. It lives

in the mountains

and in the forests.

THREATS TO LYNX

Lynx barely has

nowhere to live because

of human infrastructure

which has destroyed

rural life drastically. Lynx

is protected by law, but

is still hunted for its fur

and meat and even

because it is a threat to

domestic animals. Dincolodeorizonturi.blogspot.com

SOLUTIONSFortunately, there are things we can do to help the lynx:

-protect their natural habitat by planting trees in deforested areas

-the government should punish people who hunt lynx

-it could also prohibit building entertainment centers in the lynx natural habitat.

If we did that, we could save this beautiful animal and offer it a better life.

POLAR BEARSPolar bears are

mammals who live at the

North Pole. They are

very good swimmers.

They eat seals. Polar

bears are used to a very

cold climate and they

can’t resist in heat.

Wikipedia.org

PREY DISSAPEARENCE

The most serious problem that causes the disappearance of polar

bears is global warming. It has many effects not just on the land, but

also on the ocean. Polar bears’ prey dies, so many of these white

animals don’t have enough food.

Photovide.com

LACK OF ICEAlso because of the global warming, the icebergs at the North Pole

melts, so the polar bears remain with no ice to live on. So, they are

trapped in the middle of the sea, on a little ice island, with no food and

no safety.

Telegraph.com

CONCEQUENCESWho would have thought that

pollution have so serious and

sad consequences? If the

polar bears get extinct, the

food web will be damaged. If

the food web is damaged, it is

probably that other animals

will go extinct along with the

polar bears and the animals

polar bears hunt will over-

populate and cause a

negative impact on the

environment.Pinterest.com

SOLUTIONSMany scientists believe that global warming

is caused by the excessive pollution. The

government should improve public

transport and ban cars. If it passed a law in

witch factories get punished if they pollute

too much, this situation wouldn’t have been

so urgent. But we can help the environment

as well. We shouldn’t use so much

electricity at home and we should share our

cars with family and friends. If we must get

somewhere in the city, we should use public

transport or use a bicycle.

CONCLUSIONSOur planet might be in danger, but it

is still not to late to act, so let’s take

position and defend our home! Is this

the world we want to live in? Let’s

help the environment and the life in

it together! It’s time to do something

for our beloved home, the Earth, for

it needs our help. All the problems

the world faces will certainly affect

us, too!Safeenveiornment.wordpress.com
