Some won't keep up because the salt could solidify their legs. The herd of caribou lost nearly 70 percent of its numbers in the last 20 years. Polar bears specialize in hunting seals out on the frozen ocean. The sea ice breaks up every year, but now this is happening earlier, and the bears' limited hunting season i getting shorter and its already having a profound impact. All the different biomes in the episode are all connected. The global importance is the weather such as rain and global warming.]]> 2019-04-29 13:02:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ja483/h1l7sj59kpe7/wish/354988453 ja483 https://padlet.com/ja483/h1l7sj59kpe7/wish/354994157 1.

In the north, it is being felt more intensely. In the last 50 years, with warming temperatures and disappearing sea ice, krill stocks in the part of the southern ocean have more than halved. Polar bears must eat two-thirds of the food they need for the whole year before the ice melts and their hunting platform disappears. Polar bears are adaptable predators, but they rely on the sea ice. If that disappears, so will the bears. For thousands of years there's been a balance in the advance and retreat of the sea ice, but that's no longer the case. Today during the summer months, there is 40 percent less sea ice cover than there was in 1980. The arctic is warming twice as fast as anywhere else on our planet. by 2040, the ocean will be largely free of ice during the summer months.]]> 2019-05-02 13:15:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ja483/h1l7sj59kpe7/wish/356182281 ja483 https://padlet.com/ja483/h1l7sj59kpe7/wish/356183314 Jungles, rain forests, and animals populations are decreasing. Jungles play a vital role in the health of the planet. In the last 20 years, poaching for bushmeat has halved the congo's gorilla population and are critically endangered. In the last 50 years, borneo has lost over half of its jungle due to climate change. In the philippines, 90 percent of the primary rain forest has gone. The amazon basin is over 3,000 kilometers across and home to half of our planets remaining rain forest. The diversity of the world rain forests is falling at an alarming rate, because of us. Its estimated that we lose 100 orangutans every week from human activity. In the last four decades, the pristine lowland jungle that orangutans depend on has declined by a staggering 75 percent. We are losing tropical forest across the world at the rate of nearly 15 million hectares every year.]]> 2019-05-02 13:17:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ja483/h1l7sj59kpe7/wish/356183314 ja483 https://padlet.com/ja483/h1l7sj59kpe7/wish/356185036 The rich coastal seas are the fishing grounds of our planet and can provide abundance of food for wildlife and humanity. The shallow seas are vitally important in the fight against climate change. Seagrass absorb 35 times as much carbon dioxide as the same area of rain forest, and that reduces the damage caused by the recent warming of our seas. Relentless fishing has reduced shark populations around the world by over 90 percent. Today they only thrive in anything like their former numbers on the very remotest of reefs. Sharks assist in maintaining the health of the reef. They help to keep a balance in the fish community by hunting predators that feed on small grazing fish. A balanced community, with sharks as top predators, gives a coral reef much greater resilience in the face of damage and disaster. But today, even healthy coral reefs are facing a greater threat, with climate change, our seas are warming. Microscopic plants that live within the tissues of the corals give them both their color and most of their nourishment. But if seas temperatures rise by just a degree or two, the corals expel their plant partners, so they lose their main source of food and turn white. If temperatures remain high for a few weeks, the corals will starve and eventually die. The carbon dioxide that causes global warming is also making the seas more acidic. During 2016 and 2017, over a thousand kilometers of the great barrier reef bleached. Many of the worlds fishing stocks are now in serious decline. 50 years ago the seabird colonies disappeared because of over fishing local waters. We need to turn a third of all our coastal seas into properly protected areas.If we do that, our planets fishing grounds would recover and help sustain both humanity and the rest of the natural world.]]> 2019-05-02 13:20:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ja483/h1l7sj59kpe7/wish/356185036 ja483 https://padlet.com/ja483/h1l7sj59kpe7/wish/356238458 1. why did the walruses' go to rocky hills instead of the arctic?

Less than 200 Arabian leopards survive in the wild. The southern edge of the Arabian peninsula is one of the few places left where there is enough prey to sustain a population of leopards. Leopards have always been rare but now conflict with people is causing their numbers to decline still further. Leopards fate depends on their territory being protected. Less than 150 desert elephants survive in Namibia.Across the planet, space for grasslands has been steadily disappearing. Less than 30,000 bison remain, and 90 percent of prairie has been lost, most of it to agriculture. What we eat, and how we produce it, will determine the future of our planets grasslands. Saiga are now critically endangered. Poaching and the loss of habitat have had a devastating impact on them. In the last 100 years, the number of wild tigers has declined by over percent. Protect the space that grasslands and deserts provide, and the animals will bounce back.]]> 2019-05-14 14:45:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ja483/h1l7sj59kpe7/wish/359933066 ja483 https://padlet.com/ja483/h1l7sj59kpe7/wish/362523152 1. are animals in deserts struggling to survive because there isn't enough food and water?

There were more than 300,000 blue whales once, but last century, they were hunted more relentlessly and only a few thousand survived. They are now protected and slowly increasing. Phytoplankton produce half the oxygen in the air we breathe and play a vital role in cloud formation. Half of all deep-sea corals have already been destroyed and will take centuries to recover. Bluefish tuna are fished to almost extinction. decades of unsustainable fishing have left many fish stocks in serious decline. Plastic pollution is a grave issue for our oceans, but industrial overfishing is far more dangerous. If we continue to harvest the seas in this way, its not just fisheries that will collapse. The whole ocean system could follow. One million sharks are killed every year just to make shark fin soup. Ninety percent of all large ocean hunters have disappeared. Without sharks at the top of the food chain, the whole community of the marine life is declining and changing beyond recognition. A healthy community of great hunters, whales, dolphins, tuna, and sharks is essential for a fully- functioning ocean is vital to the health of our planet and humanity.]]> 2019-05-23 23:09:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ja483/h1l7sj59kpe7/wish/363114390 ja483 https://padlet.com/ja483/h1l7sj59kpe7/wish/363138498 1. what causes plastic pollution?

Salmon have an extraordinary ability to leap up waterfalls, but even they cannot, unaided, cross the dams that we have built. Today, pacific salmon numbers they used to, and that's causing problems for many animals. Without salmon bears cannot build up the fat reserves they need to sustain themselves through their long winter hibernation. Human beings are now taking so much water from springs, and polluting many of the others that the manatees are losing their winter homes. So many rivers now have stabilized banks and are badly polluted that the mayflies have largely disappeared but when the rivers are clean wildlife is quick to return. As global temperatures rise, lake Tanganyika is warming. Its waters are no longer mixing as well as they once did, so the top oxygenated layer is reducing. We are not alone in our need for water, but we have the ability to ensure the fresh waters of the world do flow, and we alone can determine how they are shared]]> 2019-05-24 01:45:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ja483/h1l7sj59kpe7/wish/363139665 ja483 https://padlet.com/ja483/h1l7sj59kpe7/wish/363141895 1.how can the water be cleaned of pollution?

There are less than 600 Siberian tigers. Poaching has taken the Siberian tigers to the brink of extinction, but, since the 1980s, their numbers slowly increased. Their future still depends on having vast areas of forest in which to hunt. The boreal forest that extends from russia to east, across Europe to north america contains 750 billion trees, andit stores over 40 percent of the worlds carbon, making it a vital element in the fight against climate change. Lemurs are crucial tot he forest. Without them, some species of the tree cannot survive. A third of Madagascar's fossas have disappeared in the last 20 years. We have destroyed half of the forests that once flourished on our plane. Not only are we losing the animals that once lived in them, we are also changing the climate of the entire globe. A future with more forests is key to the resilience of our planet.]]> 2019-05-24 02:05:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ja483/h1l7sj59kpe7/wish/363143025 ja483 https://padlet.com/ja483/h1l7sj59kpe7/wish/363262571 1. ]]> 2019-05-24 13:02:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ja483/h1l7sj59kpe7/wish/363262571
