Species recovery policy and habitats regulations
Pollution and climate change has been major factor impacting on wildlife some have adapted and some went extinct. Certainly, weather over these past 10 years had changed quite rapidly that even affecting human on a global scale: tornado, tsunami, wildfires, pathogens and more… Technologies help us adapt to serve conditions of the environment, but animals alone can merely hang on their adaptability to embrace the changes or perish and became part of the history. Human activities had changed the landscape and climate that was once suitable for many species and as the conditions change they have move along with the changes in order to survive. Human given enormous burden on the biodiversities and has altered the landscape with agriculture purposes, local economies, deforestation and water consumption. It is time to make changes and start recognize the value of wild species and there are couples of things we can take into considerations that will hopefully slow down the rate of changes to a more adaptable level for wild life animals. There are not enough of spaces provided for some species that require large habitats throughout their life cycle such as migratory birds. They might have hard to allocate a suitable nesting place or hunting ground with fragmentation of land, so opening up non commercial landscape such as Napanee Limestone Plain for conservation purpose is necessary. Many species are still not well understood and some of the species data are out of date such as the northern leopard frog which last update on its status was 10 years ago, further researches will be require to reduce unexpected factors that might emerges and interfere with new implantation. Water resources regulations also priority as Canada holds the largest fresh water reservoir on the planet and life’s depended on it. Disease control measure as more areas are open for species, there might be a possibility that new disease might introduce to the populations just like the black-footed ferret and prairie dogs. Close monitoring and vaccines should be deployed as prevention when implantation are in effect.
