The Positive Side of Human Intervention in our Ecosystems

Usually when people think about human intervention in our ecosystems, they often think of negative things like deforestation, pollution, etc. Although this may be true, there is a whole other side of positive things that different organization do by interference.

One of those Organizations is Green Peace.









Green Peace focuses on reducing pollution, stop humans from destroying the habitats of animals and basically just keeping our world Green. They use non-violent ways to show the problems of our ecosystems and what they cause. Green Peace's main goals are to protect Biodiversity in our Ecosytems,and to stop pollution, in forests, oceans, etc. They do this by gathering people who want to help out and working together as a team to do what it takes to stop the help our Biodiversity.



That video is an example of the kind of things the members of Green Peace do. This was in the UK where a couple of Green Peace swimmers stop a massive oil drilling ship from heading to it's drill site. There interference may have stopped the occurrence of another oil spill which would end up polluting the ocean, killing hundreds of animals.

Green Peace also deals with preventing the extinction of animals. In February 2010, Green Peace was able to work with Loblaws and convince them to stop selling sharks, skates, Orange Roughy
, and Patagonian tooth fish. Reason being was being these animals were at risk of being extinct later in the years.

Green Peace is an Organization that we should all admire because there doing all this hard work to protect our species for no pro-fit at all. It's up to us to help them in succeeding in their goals because without us, they wouldn't be doing anything at all and we would see many habitats get destroyed by human pollution and destruction. So, i hope that you realize the type of human intervention that Green Peace does has a positive affect.
