Pandas- NOT ENDANGERED ANYMORE!!!!!!

 

Bree Taylor

    The pandas are a well known a species that originates from China. When most people think of pandas they think that they are endangered which was true but thankfully they are not anymore. On September 5th in 2016 they were officially removed from the endangered list and moved to the vulnerable list. This is because of China's hard work in protecting this species. Most of the work that was done involved captive breeding, protecting habitat and making laws to punish hunters and smugglers. 

    In China there are thirteen panda nature reserve areas. In these areas fields have been left out to grow bamboo and the forest in general. Farming practices have also been around these forests have been reduced or separated from the reserve areas. In 2015, the habitat for pandas has grown by about 2,720km(squared). That is about the size of Yosemite National Park. 

    The strict laws in China for hunting and smuggling pandas have also protected this amazing animal. In fact, you can get over ten years in prison for for hunting or smuggling pandas. In very extreme cases you can get life imprisonment or even the death penalty.

    Do you know if the US contributed to the reproducing and protecting of this species?

    That’s crazy to think pandas can get an individual life in prison. I’m glad that they aren’t endangered anymore because up till today I thought they were. I found it interesting that their reservations in China for pandas where that expansive, although I’m glad they are protected. Do you know how many pandas these reservations hold total?

    I’m glad that the pandas aren’t endangered anymore. The research that you provide was very well put together and informational. I’m glad they are being protected now and they should have been a while ago as well.

Want to go on a cruise ship, think again

Image
              As well as a lot of other people, I enjoy a nice relaxing day on the water. Some people decide to take a weeks worth of days on the water. Including a boat, food, and entertainment. Cruise ships are some what of a luxury with the fancy dinners every night. Swimming pools and massive halls for shows and people to perform. Not to forget some even have places to throw cards and gamble. In recent study’s, cruise ships are found to be a major contributor to the growth of on water environmental pollution and degradation. This is also due to the ever so increasing amount of people taking cruises along with the industry booming in the way that it did. The recent popularity before COVID-19 had researchers interested. So they did a few study’s and found out the information above. Other dangers that cruise ships might present is potential danger to passengers/staff physical and mental health including land-based residents who live close to the ...

The technology world is trying to convince everyone to convert to electric vehicles. They depend on batteries that charge faster, run longer, and are also more efficient.

How Does Solar Energy Work?

How Does Solar Energy Work? Most people and I would assume everyone in this class have heard of solar energy. Some might even know some that use solar energy at some level. One question that I myself sometimes find myself having is how does solar energy really work? Of course, we know that solar energy is energy that is absorbed from the sunlight, but let's dig deeper. The most common way to use solar energy is through solar panels. Solar panels absorb solar energy through something known as photovoltaics. As stated in a post made by Energy.Gov "energy from the sunlight is absorbed by the PV cells in the panel. This energy creates electrical charges that move in response to an internal electrical field in the cell, causing electricity to flow, " Solar energy is something that can seem expensive at first, but if you compare the costs of a one time installment versus a continuous energy bill, it will most often come out being cheaper. Do you guys know anyone that uses solar...
