What causes the moose population to decrease? When this happens what happens to the wolf population

Biology

Brilliant_brown [7]3 years ago

Answer:

The most prominent factor that is causing the moose population to decrease, is the climate change, and the second most important one, is human hunting and destruction of the moose´s natural environment, and feeding grounds, to increase availability of land space for cattle raising. And the decrease of the moose population, as they are the main pray for wolves, causes these predators to move away, die, or seek other sources of food, which means that as the moose population decreases, so does the wolf population, for different reasons.

Explanation:

As researched, probably the biggest reason for the decreasing in many species of animals, not just the moose, is climate change, because climate change is affecting the environment of animals, and changing their living habits to adapt. The affectation of plant life, the changes in availability of water and living space for wild animals, such as the moose and wolf, are leading to their decreased numbers. However, hunting by humans has also become a problem, even though today legally, most of these hunting activities are restricted and controlled. A third, and very huge issue, is the human encroaching on the environments where both moose and wolf live, in order to turn lands into grazing lands for cattle. Farming, thus, has also become a problem that has led the moose to either seek other environments, or die off. As a chain reaction, the wolf population also decreases, as they either die, or move away since they no longer have easily available prey to hunt.

Hunting is one of the causes that moose die off. The wolves will either have to find another source of food, move off, or parish (Die).

Human caused reductions of biodiversity, include pollution, invasive species, and overexploitation.
Andrew [12]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Development, together with globalization, drove severe changes at a global level. The natural and original environments suffered from these effects and still are.

Human beings have constantly been altering the natural ecosystems and causing irreparable damages to nature. For many decades, development involved society and technology advance over new areas unpopulated by humans.

<u>Some</u> of the principal human activities responsible for biodiversity loss are

  • the uncontrolled use of unrenewable resources,
  • overexploitation of renewable resources;
  • land destruction for the mining industry, farming and cattle industry, buildings, and other infrastructures;
  • the unplanned advance of cities, and opening of new roads to connect those cities.  

All of them involving

  • deforestation and fragmentation of natural landscapes;
  • water, air, and soil pollution,
  • species loss, and reduction of biodiversity.

With globalization, transport around the world became normal. And when traveling around the world, new species are intentionally or unintentionally transported too. When these species, of animal or vegetable origin, get established in a new area, they overgrow to the point of turning invasive.

Invasive species are uncontrollable and cause severe damage in native endemic species by competing for resources. The whole ecosystem structure changes.

But there are some background glitches in the system that are the principal responsible for all the mentioned activities. Some important aspects are lacking

  • The respect for nature,
  • People´s education at different levels to care and protect wildlife,
  • Interest in keeping ancestral knowledge,
  • Planning and previous environmental impact studies,
  • Policies to control human activities,
  • Caring involved government.

If, as a society, we lack these aspects, the possibilities of changing our impact on nature are far away.
