#39canimals Manatees are one of my top 3 favorite sea creatures, so hearing this is really disheartening.

It would be really interesting to learn and solve how ships can maintain their speeds while being as quiet as possible to reduce noise pollution. With how technology is advancing, I am confident this can be achieved soon. #39canimals

[Vivian Vu @vu_viviann]

#39canimals A great solution to noise pollution is changing ships guidelines "which include changing the design of propellers and the hull to make it quieter and integrating speed limits to prevent excess noise." Check out the article to learn more!

Hopefully this plan is an effective solution to preserve the chimp population. #39canimals

"Recently, a 10-year plan proposed by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) SSC (Species Survival Commission) Primate specialist group outlines nine strategies needed to preserve the western chimpanzees." #39canimals

I always thought that circuses treated animals with respect, since the animals are how the circus gains money. Hearing about their conditions is really sad and made me rethink about the treatment of circus animals #39canimals

#39canimals Here is my infographic about elephants as victims of abuse in circuses!

[Abdullah Awad @wr39_c]

More than half of the entire elephant population gone due to poaching. This is a very serious problem and must be addressed. #39canimals

[Abdullah Awad @wr39_c]

I really hope this technology progresses to the point that this could be an effective solution to the problem. #39canimals

[Abdullah Awad @wr39_c]

Hearing this is awful. There truly is no safe space for elephants to seek refuge in. All of these invaders attacking just for their ivory.

[Abdullah Awad @wr39_c]

This is really sad. I have always heard from news sources about robotic dolphins that can replace the real captive dolphins and how they always show promise.

[Kimberly Salazar @kimvsal]

"SeaWorld is abusing the high intelligence that dolphins have so they can perform tricks for the audience." #39canimals

[Abdullah Awad @wr39_c]

This is really fascinating. It reminds me of that one scene in Back To The Future Part II where Marty gets scared from that holographic shark. This could be the beginning of the end for animal captivity in circuses.

[Jhanavi @Jhanavi50940078]

Circus Roncalli has become famous for being the first circus to use holograms instead of using wild animals in their acts, and they have received positive responses and plenty of attention from around the world. #39canimals

I really like the flow of this infographic, and how it uses the space well to show a lot of information, but not overwhelmingly.

[Serena Wu @serena_jyou]

#39canimals here's the infographic about spider monkeys. Check it out to learn more about this social animal and the solutions that we can all contribute to and help this endangered species!

I knew a little bit about how elephants were being hunted, but before this class I didn't know it was at this severity. This, paired with how I learned that elephants display emotions like mourning, enabled me to take the problem more seriously

[Daniel Hyun @DanielHyun13]

#WhatIlearnedin39c From this class I learned that ivory poaching is a serious issue that most people are not aware about today. Prior to the class I had no idea that the African elephant population had fallen from 12 million to only 400,000 presently. https://t.co/PhpvWQ5AcN

[Abdullah Awad @wr39_c]

my instructor and colleagues, in the form of comments and peer reviews, I can say that my interest in writing and my skills have truly grown.

[Abdullah Awad @wr39_c]

#WhatIlearnedin39C After 10 fast weeks, I can say that 39C has boosted my confidence with researching and writing. I never really liked writing as a subject mainly because of how I never "learned to write" in previous high school writing classes. (1/3)

[Abdullah Awad @wr39_c]

I did have to write some essays in that time, but when I would get graded and have my work reviewed, it was never really clear what I had to work on to become a better writer. However, in 39C, practicing writing summaries and getting great evaluations from (2/3)

[Abdullah Awad @wr39_c]

#WhatIlearnedin39C Being able to use WIX to create an online portfolio was really interesting and made me learn about the potential that these online resources have. Here is a showcase of my 39C portfolio. https://t.co/BdACtx53z5

[Abdullah Awad @wr39_c]

#WhatIlearnedin39C Before, I never heard about elephants displaying behaviors that are comparable to mourning. After hearing about that I have been caring about them and taking their poaching problem a lot more seriously

[Abdullah Awad @wr39_c]

#WhatIlearnedin39C I always knew that big fish like sharks and mackerels were being fished a lot, but never really knew the reason. I am now aware of the issues surrounding them and the consequences that they can bring to our environment.

[Abdullah Awad @wr39_c]

#WhatIlearnedin39C I never imagined I would be able to write a research paper before I took 39C. I am now really comfortable being able to use online resources for research.

#39canimals After a WildAid campaign advocating against shark fin soup, the price of shark fins declined from ~$300 / kg to ~$90 / kg. https://t.co/aGhgTtmoAa

[Abdullah Awad @wr39_c]

#39canimals Without sharks, the little fish population would grow and eat all of the vital plankton who generate ~80% of the world's population. https://t.co/KXwH53Q1Db

[Abdullah Awad @wr39_c]

#39canimals Action with federal legislation, such as the shark fin sales elimination act, is crucial. We are moving step by step closer to solving the overfishing problem. https://t.co/7HK9I4a4f2
