2 Impact of Hunting on Species Diversity Factors, effects and solutions

3 Introduction  Hunting is a very critical topic since it can either harm or benefit the ecosystem. In this presentation you will hopefully learn more about the factors, effects and solutions regarding the relationship between hunting and the diversity of species.

4 Over-Exploitation  Over-exploitation is also a large problem for wildlife. Fish are a very good example of this. Every year over 80 million fish are caught for human consumption.

5 Species Trade  Species trade is a very big problem in many countries. (ivory from elephant tusks, coral, sea turtle shells and reptile skins are popular souvenirs that threaten species)

6 Traditions  Other products, like traditional Chinese medicines, can also be made using threatened and endangered animals. For example, tiger bone was often used to help relieve swelling and pain.

7 Indiscriminate Hunting  Indiscriminate hunting of large numbers of wildlife will have a negative impact on species populations, particularly if reproductive females or young males are targeted.

8 Effects Of Hunting on species

9 Positive effects  Hunting effects many things, including our own environment. Although generally most of the affects are negative, there are some positive effects to the environment. The positive effects include population control. Hunters kill animals that have large population, and this can cause those animals to die out due to the lack of food. Hunting these animals will help with population.

10 Negaitive effects  there are also many negative affects to hunting. Hunting affects the biosphere, which is where the living organisms exist, it affects the biosphere because wildlife is directly related to the biosphere and hunting disrupts natural order. Over hunting will cause the decline in the particular animals species, this will effect everything around it, for example other animals, plants and trees.

11 How To Stop Hunting Some of our animals are extinct because of hunting, and some of them are at risk of being extinct. Some wild animals are almost extinct. In Africa, there are tigers, lions, and zebras. Some of them are at risk just living in the hot jungle and forests; their homes. protection for these poor animals; wild or domestic, they are our responsibility and we have to keep them safe.

12 Conclusion  Overall, hunting could be useful to some hunters in the wild and in desserts, they don’t have the right to kill those “innocent” animals by any means. Although they could be useful for their fur or teeth, they are in the end living things like us. And if we keep killing these animals like deer, lions, tigers, and moose, they would by then become extinct and then these animals wont be roaming the Earth anymore.
