  • Essay / Wildlife Corridors Essay - 1085

    Implications: Economic: Unfortunately, wildlife corridors such as the TTC can be expensive to create and maintain. Daniel Simberloff, a renowned Harvard-educated ecologist and biologist, states that "maintaining a corridor would be much more expensive than refuges for endangered species," suggesting that moving larger animals from one plot of land to another other would cost less than buying land and building a corridor. . This expense could dissuade people from supporting this method even if the results prove it is a good habitat for breeding, which will have a negative impact on Sumatran tiger populations. Environmental: Another disadvantage is that the corridor may be threatened by deforestation itself, which could subsequently increase the amount of deforestation of the local area. There is very little that can be done to prevent the corridor from being destroyed, thereby endangering Sumatran tigers or any other species that use the corridor as a breeding ground or habitat. Impact on humans and other organisms. Similar to Solution 1, the corridor can help maintain and increase the population of Sumatran tigers, with the fear that this could lead to a decrease in the population of prey species as more tigers eat more prey. However, the corridor provides habitat for these prey species, allowing them to breed and increase in numbers similarly, while increasing biodiversity, which offsets the disadvantage. Alternatively, it may pose a risk to local people and plantations, for example by taking land that could produce money for the local economy. To combat this, corridors need to be planned effectively as far away from local villages to reduce any conflict, but plantations should also be consulted before the corridor is built to find an area of ​​land that fits ...... middle paper. .....iable because he is old. However, this source discusses the history of the Sumatran tiger and the history of its genetics, such as how an event thousands of years ago isolated Sumatran tigers from the mainland tiger, leading to a very small, closely related group. Since these are not results about trends and patterns, but rather about finding facts, I can suggest that they are reliable even if they are old. I also believe that the results are valid because the review is carried out by 4 people qualified in the scientific fields (natural history, health and chemistry). I also believe this source to be valid because it states that it was "Accepted January 15, 2010" - this suggests an element of peer review or verification and, once the source is accepted, it is safe to assume that it is valid.10- Zoological Society London.
