Which of the following is not one of the environmental “successes” that have been accomplished since 1970?
A. Concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide have begun to decrease.
B. The California gray whale, the bald Eagle, and the American alligator have been removed from the endangered species list.
C. The number of large cities violating the clean-air standards has dropped significantly.

I guessed C and that was wrong.
What happens to a population of organisms when carrying capacity is exceeded?
A. population is reduced by predators.
B. population continues to increase
C. population remains near constant
D. population is reduced by famine and disease.
I went with A and it was wrong. Here is the feedback: zebras, seagulls, algae, humans — we all are subject to the Law of Carrying Capacity.

The Black Robe and the Bald Eagle $69.00 The Black Robe and the Bald Eagle is a fascinating historical analysis of the role that the Supreme Court has played in U.S. foreign policy. It challenges the general belief that the Court has traditionally stayed out of the political fray of foreign policy controversies. Although the Court has taken a neutralist stance in recent years, this was not the case prior to the Korean War. Moreover, Blan… |

Florida’s Fragile Wildlife: Conservation and Management $30.09 Conservation and management of Florida’s vulnerable wildlife and their habitat has been of great concern for decades, and Florida’s Fragile Wildlife is a primer for natural resource managers on how to achieve these goals. Examining more than 20 threatened species from the perspective of land management, the book outlines the benefits of specific conservation initiatives on each species and discusses how those initiatives can be implemented.Covering a broad spectrum of Florida habitats, Don Wood focuses on selected native species that include the redcockaded woodpecker, bald eagle, gopher tortoise, Florida scrub-jay, grasshopper sparrow, fox squirrel, southeastern American kestrel, sandhill crane, crested caracara, burrowing owl, wood stork, bats, beach mice, and saltmarsh songbirds. Three criteria were used in selecting species: the degree to which they would benefit from feasible, practical management initiatives; how often government agencies receive requests for technical assistance involving their welfare; and the incidence of their occurrence on public lands in Florida.Unlike other books currently available, this work concentrates on management strategies. While it provides fundamental biological information, each chapter in effect constitutes a well-organized conservation plan culminating in a how-to menu of specific management techniques (including research methodologies). It also provides up-to-date information on the status, life history, and behavior of each species, accompanied by photographs and an appendix that summarizes the array of laws and regulations that apply to the species covered.Written in an authoritative yet comprehensible style, Florida’s FragileWildlife will be an essential reference for all conservation professionals in Florida, as well as for environmentalists and naturalists interested in land stewardship. |

Excerpt: Fraternal Order of Eagles International (F.O.E.) is a fraternal organization that was founded on February 6, 1898, in Seattle, Washington by a group of six theater owners including John Cort (the first president), brothers John W. and Tim J. Considine, Harry (H.L.) Leavitt (who later joined the Loyal Order of Moose), Mose Goldsmith and Arthur Williams. Originally made up of those engaged in one way or another in the performing arts, the Eagles grew and claimed credit for establishing the Mother’s Day holiday in the United States as well as the “impetus for Social Security”. Their lodges are known as “aeries”. Terracotta ornamentation of the former Eagles Aerie No. 1, Eagles Auditorium Building in Seattle.The Fraternal Order of Eagles, an international non-profit organization, unites fraternally in the spirit of liberty, truth, justice, and equality, to make human life more desirable by lessening its ills, and by promoting peace, prosperity, gladness and hope. The Fraternal Order of Eagles was founded on February 6, 1898. The organization was formed by six theater owners sitting on a pile of lumber in Moran’s shipyard in Seattle, Washington. They were competitors who had come together to discuss a musicians strike. After deciding how to handle the strike, they agreed to “bury the hatchet” and form an organization dubbed, “The Order of Good Things.” Early meetings were held on local theater stages and after taking care of business, attendees rolled out a keg of beer and enjoyed social time. As numbers grew, participants selected the Bald Eagle as the official emblem and changed the name to “The Fraternal Order of Eagles.” In April, 1898, the membership formed a Grand Aerie, secured a charter and developed a constitution and by-laws, with John C… More: |
