Whale bones observed on the deep ocean floor were fed on by 178 species while the most fertile known hydrothermal vent field supports 121 species and a single hydrocarbon seep might support 36 species at most.

But if this species, ancient species, would travel in time and see us today, they would very much be very proud of their legacy, because they became the ancestors of the most successful species in the universe.

Most species have very small geographical ranges and are uncommon locally.

Domestically, a recent assessment of discarding in fisheries indicated that, of 159 distinct fisheries, discarding affected at least 149 species or species groups. Finfish, crustaceans and mollusks comprised a majority of these species or species groups, while protected species such as marine mammals, sea turtles and seabirds made up of most of the rest.

Giles noted that there are more than 135 shark species in the area, but most are not considered dangerous.

Trafficking in endangered species

The second one unlike most animals, which is survival of the species this is preservation of self.

Discharged ballast water is said to be the most prominent medium for transferring new or alien species.

The long term concern is that fishing is intended to be selective fishermen aim to harvest the most profitable species and the most profitable sizes within species. Like all other forms of life, fish stocks change genetically when directional selection is applied.

The threats facing sharks are well documented. It is time to launch concerted global efforts to protect some of the oldest, most vulnerable and most valuable species in our seas.

And I'm happy most of the time, because I think this is the happiest species on the planet.

Among the most pressing challenges that our species is faced with today are the chronic problems of Africa.

And perhaps most important of all, it is unsustainable because of climate change, resource depletion and species destruction.

Most countries evaluated the impacts of projected climate change on their forests and rangelands, in terms of changes in biomass, species composition and vegetation types.

Our species can make stuff, therefore we prospered in a way that no other species has.

As you will note, the web of most normal spider species is as distinctive and invariable as their coloring.

According to the United States Marine Mammal Commission, 136 marine species have been reported in entanglement incidents in the wider United States area, including 6 species of sea turtles, 51 species of seabirds and 32 species of marine mammals (Marine Mammal Commission, 1996).

And we decided that what we want to store first of all, are the species that are most under threat.

Tropical moist forests are the most diverse ecosystems on Earth, containing 60 to 90 per cent of the world's species.

The current type of fishing gear conformed to most standards relating to the preservation of species caught as by catches.

This species lives only in the Congo.

Alien species

On one of the last dive series, we counted 200 species in these areas 198 were new, new species.

One delegation noted that not all species of turtles were in danger of extinction, and that some species were in fact increasing.

There's six million species of insects on this planet, six million species.

He categorized about 12,000 species in Systema Naturae.

In our species, we don't like doing that.

the status of species included in Appendix 1

Northwestern Yunnan is one of the world s most biologically diverse areas, home to half of China s animal species and a quarter of its plant species. Whatever portions of this ecosystem that the dams don t submerge are certain to be disrupted in potentially disastrous ways.

Forests and terrestrial ecosystems Most countries evaluated the impacts of projected climate change on their forests and rangelands in terms of changes in biomass, species composition and vegetation types.

3. Alien species

We've got over 1,000 species. We have 137 bird species as of today.

Ten percent of all plant species on the planet, 24,000 species are safe 30,000 species, if we get the funding, by next year.

But most species actually use insects to do their bidding, and that's more intelligent in a way, because the pollen, they don't need so much of it.

And I'm talking specifically about synanthropic species, which are species that have adapted specifically for human ecologies, species like rats and cockroaches and crows.

These are gateway species, vanguard species that open the door for other biological communities.

The number of species increases 21 percent so if you have 1,000 species you would expect 200 more in a marine reserve.

The human species, in general, is fallible okay fine.

I discovered an invasive species in my own backyard.

The first insight is that while the conscious mind writes the autobiography of our species, the unconscious mind does most of the work.

Forty years later, this group, more than most, are well aware of the destructive power that our species can wield over our environment.

This is the oceanic whitetip shark, an animal that is considered the fourth most dangerous species, if you pay attention to such lists.

Every species does it.

We're a social species.

That's the same species.
