OVERFISHING Presented by: Siiri Paurson Tartu 2015 INTRODUCTION What is overfishing? What is causing overfishing? Why is overfishing a problem? Fishing down the food web (toitumisahela võrgustik) What can we do to help? WHAT IS OVERFISHING? Catching too much fish for the system to support leads to an overall degradation to the system. Overfishing is a non-sustainable use of the oceans. WHAT IS CAUSING OVERFISHING? Worldwide, fishing fleets are at least two to three times as large as needed to take present day catches of fish and other marine species. On a global scale we have enough fishing capacity to cover at least four Earth like planets. Overfishing have a large impact on the basic functioning of our marine ecosystems. These unselective fishing practices and gear cause tremendous destruction on non

MOST ENDANGERED BEARS SIIRI PAURSON EMÜ 2016 TOPICS 1. GIANT PANDA (hiidpanda e. bambuskaru) 2. SUN BEAR (päikesekaru e. malai karu e. biruang) 3. ASIATIC BLACK BEAR (kaeluskaru) 4. SLOTH BEAR (huulkaru) 5. ANDEAN BEAR (prillkaru) 6. POLAR BEAR 7. BROWN BEAR 8. THE AMERICAN BLACK BEAR (baribal) 1. GIANT PANDA • The giant panda remains the world's most threatened bear species. • A very high risk of extinction (väljasuremine) in the wild. • Despite "the establishment of nearly 60 panda reserves, a ban on logging (metsaraie keeld), and widespread reforestation programmes," habitat destruction and degradation are still the panda's greatest enemies. 2. SUN BEAR • The world's smallest bear species. • We estimate that sun bears have declined by at least 30 percent over the past 30 years and continue to decline at this rate. • Sun bears live mostly in the tropical forests of mainland Southeast Asia. • The two major threats
Australia Kaspar Rätsep G1A Australian nature · Australian nature is extremely diverse and interesting. It's the driest inhabited continent, only its south-east and south-west corners have a temperate climate. · The climate of Australia is significantly influenced by ocean currents, which is correlated with periodic drought, and produces cyclones in northern Australia. · Much of the northern part of the country has a tropical summer rainfall (monsoon) climate. The southwest corner of the country has a Mediterranean climate. Much of the southeast is temperate. · Climate change has become an increasing concern in Australia in recent years, with many Australians considering protection of the environment to be the most important issue facing the country. Australian nature · Eastern Australia is marked by the Great Dividing Range and it consists of low hills and the highlands are typically no more than 1,600 metres. There are
lizard species are an exception to this rule). However, crocodiles, along with several large snakes and lizards, remain very vulnerable to the commercial skin trade. /1/ Although both species of New Guinea crocodiles are currently listed under Appendix II (species not necessarily threatened with extinction, but in which trade must be controlled in order to avoid utilization incompatible with their survival) of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Fauna and Flora, Papua New Guinea still exports wild- harvested and captive-bred crocodile products.5 These exports are contributing to a severe decline in crocodile populations and consequently a reduction in the biological diversity of Papua New Guinea./1/ Birds Much sought after as pets or for their feathers, several birds of the forests of New Guinea such as parrots, lorries and
