Endangered Wildlife
The next generation wont know about many wildlife species because they are now in danger of
extinction, scientist Jennifer Bove says. Endangered species are species that still exist but there
are so few of them that they are in danger of extinction. We need to find solutions to our problem
and help endangered species make gain more numbers. There are several causes of endangered
species: habitat destruction, pollution, climate change, and human activity. The strongest forces
For billions of years, wildlife species have come and gone. Through the process of evolution,
more hearty spices take the place of those that are weak. Extinction occurs naturally, but human
activity can rapidly increase the rate of extinction. Humans have destroyed more than half of the
worlds forests, which serve as habitats for wildlife. The rest of the forests are shrinking fast
because of causes such as wildfires. Pollution causes rising sea temperatures and unhealthy air.
Habitat loss causes animals to lose shelter, food, and to a safe place to raise their young.
Scientists estimate that the current rate of extinction is thousands of times greater due to
man-made causes. LiveScience says At least 120 of the 620 primate species will be extinct within
wildlife will not be endangered anymore. If if humans conserve land and water and help save
breeding areas we will be on the right track Modern Causes of Species Extinctions says.
Reducing pollution is a major step in improving the health of animals. People think they cannot
make a difference, but they are wrong. If we all work to do our part, we can make a large impact.
Conserving land and water where there is endangered wildlife will help to ensure that the
animals will be protected. Minimize the impact of logging, oil and gas drilling, and
over-development and make the world a better place for both Humans and animals. Saving open
spaces will help stop habitat loss. Refuges can be overcrowded so saving open spaces is crucial.
Protecting the places animals live can give them the best chance for survival.
If People introduce breeding programs then animals can breed and raise their young successfully
and can eventually increase their numbers. Breeding programs can ensure that the animals can
grow in numbers and eventually be released back into the wild. These programs need dedicated
people and tons of money. Many programs including the Osprey and Musk Ox have been
successful.
Humans are at fault for the large amount of animals that are endangered today. If humans
continue living in a world full of pollution and over production, many of these animals will
become extinct. But with the efforts of conservation and cleanup, people can save many of these
innocent animals. So remember, even the small acts against these problems are the fine line
