I love science, especially biology and environment. During presentation time in this class, I found some interesting articles and I read these three articles about environment, "Madagascar might be decimated by a plague of common toads", "UK approves world's largest offshore wind farm" and "Zoo kills neglected bear cub, will stuff it for children to learn 'nature can be cruel'".
The first article is about inflow toads are destroy the ecosystem, from SeoungJun's blog. Some powerful toads are inflow to Madagascar. They eat everything and there are no predators to stop the toad. So they destroy the entire ecosystem in Madagascar. Korea has similar problem, too. Nutria, 1 meter mouse, and bullfrog are it. And in Korea, government promotes to kill them. I think this is an important problem. They are also one of ecosystem, but the ecosystem that they destroy is so valuable. I hope to get rid of them and the other species never inflow from other countries.
The second article is about wind power plant, from Hyoungmin's blog. The United Kingdom builds 240 turbines, which will make 1,200 megawatts. I agree that we have to use renewable energy in future for environment, and I am very glad to many countries are interested in making renewable energy. But I think it is too early to use renewable energy. Now the energy efficiency of wind energy, hydroelectric energy, or something like those is very low and we need much money to use it. I hope they invest to researching renewable energy and upgrade energy efficiency, instead of build the turbines.
The third article is about killing young bear to teach them nature is cruel, from Jimin's blog. In the zoo, almost of animals adapt to human's help and forget their habit in the wild. I feel very sad to hear this article. Of course bears are wild animals and they have to go wild in someday, and we need to teach about real wild. But I think this method is too cruel. I hope zoo keepers find the other peaceful way to teach wild like just hurt or separate them like they die.
Finally, I choose these three articles because I am interested in environment, and I hope to the other people think about environment also. Living problem is very important in our life, and we have to protect environment for we and our descendant.
