What I would do to try to save this species from extinction would be that I would look into stabilizing the water table in the area. It is also important that we humans try to avoid pumping ground water because spring flows have been reduced, which is why this species is in danger.]]> 2020-10-13 05:16:21 UTC https://padlet.com/abgonzalez51/2ydg1rl5187nh5lw/wish/823713382 abgonzalez51 https://padlet.com/abgonzalez51/2ydg1rl5187nh5lw/wish/823724463 The main threat of Comanche Springs Pup Fish is the artificial conditions of water flow. Other pupfish such as the Leon Springs, and the Big Bend Gambusta have been introduced into the same water system and have threaten the Comanche springs by direct competition in limited food supplies and by possible inter-breeding and hybridization. ]]> 2020-10-13 05:22:11 UTC https://padlet.com/abgonzalez51/2ydg1rl5187nh5lw/wish/823724463 abgonzalez51 https://padlet.com/abgonzalez51/2ydg1rl5187nh5lw/wish/823750966 Plants and species are the base of a healthy ecosystem, we humans depend on healthy ecosystems because they purify the environment we live in. Therefore, when a species becomes endangered it is showing that an ecosystem is falling apart. Not to mention, when a species is lost it prompts other species to be lost within that ecosystem. This is why it is crucial to take care of all the species that are around us because each and everyone of them have a purpose on our ecosystem. ]]> 2020-10-13 05:36:18 UTC https://padlet.com/abgonzalez51/2ydg1rl5187nh5lw/wish/823750966
