DESERTS (Endangered Biomes)

Many times extinction is caused by more than one natural event, including climate change, disease, overpopulation, or competition for food. When a species becomes extinct because of a natural process, it usually means its environment has changed, and more than likely the species will be replaced by a new, emerging one.

Everything has its Place One of the most difficult tasks educators face is teaching children about the intrinsic value of each species on the face of the Earth. Presently, in the environmental field, there is a strong push to educate about the non-monetary value of each species.

This is being accomplished through the teaching of environmental ethics. One leader in the environmental ethics field, Hugh W. These benefits may be summarized as follows: Endangered species generally serve as indicators of larger environmental problems and, when detected, allow analysis and correction of more involved problems during the pursuit of a preservation program.

The only known populations are in Libya, where the tortoises are not protected by law. While its watery habitat has been drastically reduced by drought, groundwater contamination and pumping for agricultural use, it's also threatened by the North American mosquito fish Gambusia holbrooki.

In , mosquito fish outnumbered the native fish by a ratio of to 1. With fewer than adult cheetahs left in the wild, the elusive Saharan cheetah Acinonyx jubatus hecki is listed as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List. Small populations exist in Algeria and Niger. The Saharan cheetah's primary habitat is the Sahara's rocky mountainous regions and the accompanying dry drainage and riverbeds. Its main prey includes Barbary sheep, dorcas gazelles, dama gazelles, large birds and rodents.

Loss of habitat, hunting by the local people and the reduced population of its primary prey has placed the Saharan cheetah at risk of extinction.
