Can animal habitats be moved before urbanization?

• In 1920 there were currently 2 billion people living on

the planet earth. In 2013, the population level

increased dramatically. There are 6.6 billion people

living on this earth as we read this. In about 90 years,

the earth has tripled their population growth. While

many animals habitats are being destroyed by urban

city life, it effects both animal and human life around

the world.

• While this sounds good that the population is

increasing, it also has its downs. Since we

have more people on the earth, this results for

more construction for businesses or houses.

• Although there are many great reasons to

urbanize Southwest Florida, attention must

be paid to the effects of urbanization

on animal habitats.

• Job opportunities:

• Making a new building creates many jobs for people.

• While creating new businesses, it creates jobs for

landscapers, construction workers, architects,

engineers, etc.

• While the new business is made, it creates more jobs.

• The owner of the business, managers, workers, etc.

• Increase the economy around the world:

• In my previous slide, I had discussed how urban city life

creates new jobs.

• New job opportunities for people result in making more

money.

• In recent years, many people have been laid off their job.

But, urban city life creates new businesses, which makes

make new jobs for people that were unfortunately laid off.

• Destroying animals habitats:

• To create more urban city life, we must find land to

create more businesses.

• Many of times, the land where they want to create

more businesses are habitats of animals.

• It could be cutting a tree down for land, which for

example can result in killing an innocent birds habitat.

• Increase in death:

• As previously stated before, urban city life destroys animals

habitats.

• While their habitats are destroyed, they have no where to live or

don’t know how to survive.

• Sometimes animals have to find new land to live in.

• The animals may not know the land very well, which means they

don’t know where to find water or food. This is very bad for

innocent animals because it can lead to death.

• Many deaths can lead to extinction:

• While animals are slowly dying because of urban city life,

that can lead to other animal death’s.

• What if a type of animal became extinct and that animal

was a prey for another type of animal? This means that the

other animal has no food for his family or even himself.

• Many of animals food come from a life cycle.

• Moving the animals:

• A common ground for

this situation would be

to have certain large

areas of land where its

prohibited to destroy

and build on. The ground

would be only for

animals to live safely

and breed. Builders can

always reuse old

buildings and areas to

continue urbanization.

• A proposal that can

resolve this issue

while recongzing

both sides would be

giving speicifc land

to cities and to

animals.

• If each party had guidelines to where and

where not to build animals would be less in

danger because they could be relocated and

still have an ample amount of space to live a

good life.
