Overfishing The world faces a calamitous food crisis if we do not stop overfishing. About one billion people rely on fish as their primary source of animal protein. There could come a time when we no longer have enough fish. The cause of this fish shortage is overfishing. Overfishing occurs "when more fish are caught than the population can replace through natural reproduction," according to the World Wildlife Foundation. Eighty-seven percent of all the world's fish stocks that we know about are at the "breaking point," according to the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF). If the EDF is correct, many species of fish may be lost as a sustainable food source forever, unless we change the way we fish the oceans. The Atlantic cod is one example. The cod was once one of the great food resources on earth, but its numbers are now at an all-time low. The populations of other fish are also in danger of being lost as a food source, including herring, Chilean sea bass, and blue fin tuna. Elephants and Ivory Hunters and traders created a network that reached around the world. As a result of the trade in ivory, the population of African elephants, which National Geographic placed at approximately 26 million in 1800, was reduced drastically in a single century. By 1900, there were just 10 million African elephants left. By 1979, there were only 1.3 million African elephants left. Although the demand for ivory in the West was now falling, in Asia demand was skyrocketing. Ivory products, long a symbol of wealth and prestige in China, were sought after like never before. The number of African elephants plummeted to 600,000 by 1989. What is the theme of both passages? a. Irresponsible human practices are putting food supplies at risk. b. Popularity of ivory products has increased dramatically. c. Wildlife populations are dwindling due to human actions. d. Careless fishing practices have led to wildlife extinction. QUESTION 11 1.
