Can animal habitats be moved before urbanization?
• In 1920 there were currently 2 billion people living on
the planet earth. In 2013, the population level
increased dramatically. There are 6.6 billion people
living on this earth as we read this. In about 90 years,
the earth has tripled their population growth. While
many animals habitats are being destroyed by urban
city life, it effects both animal and human life around
the world.
• While this sounds good that the population is
increasing, it also has its downs. Since we
have more people on the earth, this results for
more construction for businesses or houses.
• Although there are many great reasons to
urbanize Southwest Florida, attention must
be paid to the effects of urbanization
on animal habitats.
• Job opportunities:
• Making a new building creates many jobs for people.
• While creating new businesses, it creates jobs for
landscapers, construction workers, architects,
engineers, etc.
• While the new business is made, it creates more jobs.
• The owner of the business, managers, workers, etc.
• Increase the economy around the world:
• In my previous slide, I had discussed how urban city life
creates new jobs.
• New job opportunities for people result in making more
money.
• In recent years, many people have been laid off their job.
But, urban city life creates new businesses, which makes
make new jobs for people that were unfortunately laid off.
• Destroying animals habitats:
• To create more urban city life, we must find land to
create more businesses.
• Many of times, the land where they want to create
more businesses are habitats of animals.
• It could be cutting a tree down for land, which for
example can result in killing an innocent birds habitat.
• Increase in death:
• As previously stated before, urban city life destroys animals
habitats.
• While their habitats are destroyed, they have no where to live or
don’t know how to survive.
• Sometimes animals have to find new land to live in.
• The animals may not know the land very well, which means they
don’t know where to find water or food. This is very bad for
innocent animals because it can lead to death.
• Many deaths can lead to extinction:
• While animals are slowly dying because of urban city life,
that can lead to other animal death’s.
• What if a type of animal became extinct and that animal
was a prey for another type of animal? This means that the
other animal has no food for his family or even himself.
• Many of animals food come from a life cycle.
• Moving the animals:
• A common ground for
this situation would be
to have certain large
areas of land where its
prohibited to destroy
and build on. The ground
would be only for
animals to live safely
and breed. Builders can
always reuse old
buildings and areas to
continue urbanization.
• A proposal that can
resolve this issue
while recongzing
both sides would be
giving speicifc land
to cities and to
animals.
• If each party had guidelines to where and
where not to build animals would be less in
danger because they could be relocated and
still have an ample amount of space to live a
good life.
