Declining Population of Loggerhead Sea Turtle :: Biology

Declining Population of Loggerhead Sea TurtleThe title of this paper is pretty self explanatory and the facts argon simple. The solution is feasible but yet, non enough action is being taken to make a difference. You would think that we as humans being the dominate creatures of the earth, would be able to understand the simmpleness of knowing the negative effects of our carelessness and the impact it has on the creatures around usCreatures that are close to defenseless when put in comparison with mankind. I didnt want there to be a great mystery surrounding what my presentation is about because there doesnt have to be. Most multitude either dont know or dont care about the declining population of the loggerhead ocean turtles. While I tolerate not change the attitude of a person who is apathetic, I can help increase the knowledge of a person who is ignorant about this subject. Ignorance would be a very good word to describe my amount of knowledge in this area before I began this s tudy on loggerhead sea turtles. The saddest part of this story is that we as humans are too involved with ourselves and concerned about our own wellbeing. We will not take the time to feel back and wonder how the creatures of this world are getting along. If we could just forget about ourselves for matchless minute and try to help out the creatures that are continually struggling to survive the negative effects that our growing and careless population has placed on them. Even though loggerheads are the most reciprocal of all sea turtle species found on the United States coasts, recent studies have show that this amazing turtle population is in steep sink and will be in danger if we do not begin to find out why its population is declining and what we can do to reverse this effect. The external Union for the Conservation of Nature listed the loggerhead as threatened in 1978. This means that the loggerhead has been considered vulnerable for becoming extinct for thirty years because of the form of turtles left. Recent studies of loggerhead population have found that the number of females that nest in the Southeastern United States is continuing to decline at an alarmingly speedy rate. The United States Federal Government has reported that the loggerhead turtle population decline is not just something to be concerned about in one area of the world but it is a world wide problem.
