Families creating change
Above video contributed by Dr. Shazia and her daughter’ Anaya. Dr. Shazia wanted to share the quote of a famous personality about Earth Day. He said, “Progress is impossible without change, and those who can not change their minds can not change anything.” By George Bernard Shaw.
A big thank you to A.S. for submitting writing and picture about the loss of habitat and deforestation.
This is a picture taken by me at Collingwood, ON of Mommy & Kid Black Bear hiding behind a fallen tree because of deforestation, habitat loss, and human ignorance.
Increased deforestation has caused animals to become competitive with each other to find food and live without shelter. Currently, they’re not at critical risk, but if this continues, soon they will be extinct. Hence, it is very important that we take initiative to conserve our forests.
Black bears play an undoubtedly important role in our ecosystem.Just like wolves and other carnivorous animals, black bears, also known as “glacier bears” in Alaska or “spirit bears” in British Columbia, they invoke fear among their prey, within animals on the move such as deer.
They also have two positive ecosystem implications:
1]Keeps the ecosystem balanced.
2]Enriching the soil by upturning when they run.
