The Pandas

Pandas Article


Giant pandas up until recently have been known to be very close to going extinct. Since the early 2000's the World Wildlife Federation (WWF) has been trying to turn the population of the pandas around, protecting the bamboo forests in which they live. Whats good is new methods of studying the panda's habitats allow us to keep a closer eye on the panda's population number. With this new method we now know that the pandas are now longer endangered, but are vulnerable. The process used to determine this is based on satellite imaging of the forests that they live in. The panda's aren't just getting their numbers back up, but also spreading slightly to new places. Giant pandas population growth does effect the other animals in the ecosystem, because most of the area where they live is protected all animals see less threat to human interaction.

    I think what the WWF is doing is very good, especially since it has helped the pandas no longer be an endangered species. I believe that protecting the forests that the pandas live in is good, so that way the population could thrive without worrying about food or predators. I think that the pandas spreading to new areas is good, since they could grow the populations in other areas. These methods should be continued since it is helping the pandas and making a difference.

    What the WWF is doing is a very smart and efficient way of protecting pandas from being an endangered species as well as protecting their bamboo forests that they live in. Also, the more this species spreads, it could also quicken the increase of their population growth.

    The WWF seems to being a good job, as the pandas are no longer endangered, only vulnerable. However, it is still important to keep up the efforts to protect all endangered and vulnerable species and their habitats. The fact that pandas are spreading as well as growing in numbers is great, especially since the areas in which they live are protected.

    I think the WWF is doing a good job, but why can't they do better? We should dedicate forests to not be destroyed to preserve these little black and white bears. They've been trying to turn around the population since the early 2000's which is kind of dissatisfying that they haven't completely did a 180 in the other direction to take them out of endangerment.

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
