Saving the Northern White Rhinos



Scientists recently created two embryos of the northern white rhino, which there are only 2 females left in the world. The embryos were created with eggs from the females and sperm from dead males, it is planned that they will be transferred into a southern white rhino sometime in the near future. This is very important because we can start to slowly bring back the near extinct northern white rhino species. If we are able to do this it gives us hope to be able to help other species in the future. This is an amazing achievement and I am excited to see what else it leads to.

    This is very interesting and an inventive way to bring back a near extinct species. It is also important that scientist can save this species because of the important role they play in their ecosystem in regards to their grazing which helps to shape their landscape.

    This article is very interesting because this is a very effective way of not allowing animals to become extinct and to carry on their place in the ecosystem. This will allow scientists to create new species but still have DNA of the other rhinos which will create diversity between the species in the ecosystem.

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
