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.

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.
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

Monuments are older than Egypt's pyramids. Donegal mountains This view north from the Donegual moutintains is very popular for a photographers. Lakes of Killarney They consist of three lakes - Lough Leane, Muckross Lake (also called Middle Lake) and Upper Lake. The lakes lie in a mountain-ringed valley starting in the Black Valley. Animals Ireland is known for not having any snakes and the only reptiles in Ireland are lizards. Some animals and sea life found in Ireland are: grey seals, pine martens, otters, red fox, rabbits, rodents, deer, badgers and goats. There are also many species of birds in Ireland, especially on the west coast where birds stop en route to other places.

of forested land. Forest management and wood production are particularly important for the Estonian economy. One third of Estonian forests are protected areas. In these protected forests you can come across types of primeval forest cover, which have long ago disappeared from other parts of Europe. Examples of such primeval forests are the Järvselja forest in Tartumaa County and Poruni in Ida- Virumaa County. Meadows in Estonia are rich in different species much more so than in Western Europe. Estonia is a country of thousand of lakes. In the Estonian territory there are about 1200 natural lakes. The largest of these is Lake Peipsi, which is the fourth largest freshwater lake in Europe. Most of Estonia's lakes are small and are found in the south of the country. Larger lakes such as Lake Peipsi and Lake Võrtsjärv are rich in fish. One can find rare species of fish such as the lake whitefish and the Peipsi smelt in Lake Peipsi
Butterflies How butterflies find food? Instead of eating, butterflies get their nurishment from drinking. They have a long narrow tube in their mouth. They usually set on top of a flower and drink the nectar. Why are they important for the environment? Butterflies are important for pollination and natural pest control. Butterflies are an important element of the food chain and are prey for birds, bats and other animals. Butterflies&bees Butterflies and bees suffering from enviromental pressures like drought and habitat loss How can we protect butterflies? Buy organic produce and avoid genetically engineered foods Create butterfly habitat Species in Estonia There is 2388 registered butterfly species in Estonia. https://www.globalguardianproject.com/blogs/globalguardianpr oject/5-easy-ways-you-can-protect-butterflies https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eesti_liblikaliste_nimestik http://www
The mean annual precipitation ranges from 15-26 cm. Vegetation Canopy in most deserts is very rare. Plants are mainly ground-hugging shrubs and short woody trees. Leaves are "replete" (fully supported with nutrients) with water- conserving characteristics. They tend to be small, thick and covered with a thick cuticle (outer layer). These plants include: yuccas, ocotillo, turpentine bush, prickly pears, false mesquite, sotol, ephedras, agaves and brittlebush. The spiny nature of many plants in semiarid deserts provides protection in a hazardous environment. Many plants have silvery or glossy leaves, allowing them to reflect more radiant energy. These plants often have an unfavourable odor or taste. Semiarid plants include: Creosote bush, bur sage, white thorn, cat claw, mesquite, brittle bushes, lyciums, and jujube. Animals In hot and dry deserts the animals include small nocturnal (active at night) carnivores

D i ox i n s a n d f u r a n s i n t h e atmosphere. Their impact on humans and nature. Emission sources What are dioxines and furans? The term Dioxin is commonly used to refer to a family of toxic chemicals that all share a similar chemical structure and a common mechanism of toxic action. Most dioxins and furans are not manmade or produced intentionally, but are created when other chemicals or products are made. This family includes: seven of the polychlorinated dibenzo dioxins (PCDDs), ten of the polychlorinated dibenzo furans (PCDFs) and
