5. • Factors damaging artificial flora are basically pollution, acid rain and
deforestation.
• 1. - Pollution: precludes the growth of many plant species, because the
presence of chemicals in soil alters the life processes of plants. If you
look at the vegetation in Santiago, note that its location is restricted to
the vicinity of urban areas. There is a wide variety of species, as in non-
urban areas, where man has had a lesser degree of influence and are
lower pollution levels.
2. - Acid rain resulting from industrial activities and transport pollutes the
atmosphere and is responsible for the destruction of vast forests. It
also affects the soil, which is contaminated with acids that hinder or
prevent the growth of new plant species, thus favoring soil erosion. In
Europe measuring stations were installed acid content in acid rain all
over the continent. Thus, compared to high levels can restrict the
emission of industrial gases.
3. - The forestry and agricultural practices: Deforestation produces the
extermination of different plant species. Mishandling of agricultural
activity can also alter the resource flora, since it requires the soil to live
and their existence is strongly tied to this resource. Any alteration to
suffer the ground inevitably affect plant species.
6. possible solutions
• 1-not throwing plastic sea can
drown fish and other aquatic
animals
• 2-replant forests, habitat loss
is one of the main reasons
why wildlife is disappearing
• 3-not throw water
pollutants, water pollutants if
strip is poisoned wildlife and
eventually dies
• 4-stop poaching, is another
major cause of the
disappearance of wildlife
• 5-not mistreat animals
7. • 1-Conserving forests and using them
rationally, without destroying the most
valuable species and allowing it to
regenerate its own seeds.
• 2-To provide firewood and other forest
products should be planted fast growing
trees, which can be built in a few years.
• 3-You can also plant trees among crops
(Agroforestry).
• 4-Another way to solve this problem would
agroforestry systems, which are those that
remain certain species of trees and is made a
crop or livestock associated with the farmer
gets an income without destroying, of two or
more different items preserving the
environment atmosphere.
• 5-not burning forests
8. Some endangered animals
• The palmchat, the Cigua Palmera in Spanish,
is the national bird of Dominican Republic,
Cigua palm and its scientific name is Dulus dominicus.
• This family is endemic of La Hispaniola, and
there is only one member. The Cigua
Palmera lives in any environment but prefers
settling in the palm plantations. There are
many of these on the Saona Island.
• Habit:The Cigua Palmera builds its nest on
the palm branches with twigs. Its nest is
pretty large when compared with the size of
the palm tree and the size of the bird itself.
• Endangered cauce:1 to 1 delas causes of its
extinction is the destruction of their habitat.
• 2-selling hunting for this animal.
• 3-abuse
• Solution:
• 1-prevent hunting
• 2-create organizations deconservacion
• 3 follow-protect palm.
9. Some endangered animals
Panda
• Panda bears are solitary animals, during most of the
year. They do not hibernate. Knowledge of the habitat of
the family groups and the survival of the young
challenging for researchers, although some are known to
take refuge in dens and holes in trees. Moreover, the
giant panda's eating habits are another problem when it
comes to their care and breeding, as it feeds almost
exclusively on bamboo, which is not very nutritious, to
which must be added that this plant species bloom at
certain times and wither soon after, which sometimes
leads these animals to starve.
• However, the greatest threat comes from cutting
bamboo plantations caused by man. In times of famine,
pandas approach areas inhabited by humans to feed on
plants and gardens and crops, although come to attack
the hens sometimes not constitute a serious threat to
people, except when they occur chance encounters at a
very short dista
• nce.
• Solutions:1-no bamboo cutting harboles
• 2-do not hunt them, to make skins
• 3-set them free
10. Some endangered animals
• is a species of baleen whale family
Balaenopteridae. The species feeds mainly
on krill and small fish, has a wide repertoire
of feeding methods, including the
remarkable technique of bubble net.
• Like other large whales, the humpback whale
was hunted. Because of overharvesting, its
population was reduced by 90% before the
moratorium implemented in 1966. Since
then the population has recovered
partially, but entanglements in fishing
gear, collisions with ships, and noise
pollution, remain a source of concern.
calculating a total population of at least 80
000 copies. Today is one of the objectives for
whale watching, mainly along the coasts of
Australia, New Zealand, South
America, Canada and the United States.
11. • Mahogany is the wood of two species of
trees Intertropical Zone: The West Indian
mahogany and mahogany, both belonging to
the family Meliaceae. The main feature of
this wood is its color, ranging from dark
red, red wine and lighter shades depending
on the variety, to pink. There are other
woods from tropical Africa and Madagascar
which, although not actually
mahogany, often called "mahogany" or
"African caobillas" and belong to the
botanical genus Khaya and Entandrophragma
also Family Meliaceae like Mahogany and
sapele.
• The mahogany are the best example of fine
wood, highly prized in cabinet for being easy
to work, while resistant to pests
(termites, beetles, etc..), As well as its
appearance.
• cause: 1-the illegal sale
• 2-felling
• Solutions:
• 1-for illegal logging.
• 2-protect mahogany
12. Some endangered flora
• This plant is very compact, forming with its
branches and leaves a cushion so hard, to be
pilloried attack to break it. That is exactly what
yareta farmers do to seize the heights as firewood, as it
has many resins and, therefore, very high
calorific value. In some times and areas, llareta
burned up in artisanal mining industry, which is
still partially now. So their population decreased
significantly.
• This should be taken into account very carefully.
This species is well adapted to the harsh life of
the high puna dominated by cold, drought and
high solar radiation, grows too slowly. One
square meter of cushion formed by the llareta
may have taken centuries to develop!.
• Cause:1-cut
• 2-abuse
• 3-marketing
• Solutions:1-prevent the illegal sale
• 2-not cut
• 3-give necessary conditions
13. Some endangered flora
• Rosewood or rosewood is the
common name by which is known
to several tree species or
wood, from inter-tropical and
subtropical areas of Africa, America
and Asia.
• They belong mainly to the families
of the Fabaceae (Dalbergia and
Pterocarpus like) or of the
Bignoniaceae.
• Cause:1-burning
• 2-felling for comencializacion
• Solution:1-comencializacion avoid
plant
• 2-avoid burning
