Hi there I am a big horn sheep and I live in the desert it has been very bad there my family and friends have been killed for disease, and habitat loss due to urban development.

Peninsular bighorn sheep have been listed under the California State Endangered Species  but they continued to decline despite management plans, research, habitat acquisition, and the establishment of ecological reserves. A disease epizootic followed by several years of low recruitment resulted in a vast population decline within the U.S. In the 1990's, heavy mountain lion predation accompanied by variable lamb recruitment rates continued to suppress bighorn populations. While predation is not typically a concern for healthy bighorn populations, it can severely impact those already debilitated by disease, habitat loss, or low numbers.

 Habitat loss for Peninsular bighorn sheep has occurred at an alarming rate. Over 15 golf courses or residential developments are currently proposed or approved for construction within Peninsular bighorn habitat in the Coachella Valley I hope one day we wil live safe and be happy.

energy to city

There are different ways to power a city for example nuclear power and wind energy. They come at a cost when in use. The environment is something that is to be effected by the use of many harmful sources like nuclear energy and petroleum. There are also many problems with money when it comes to petroleum and security. Both energy decisions and ecological footprints are a part of ecology due to the fact that certain items from the ecosystem are used and how they effect the environment
