ENDANGERED
SPECIES
Could you imagine how many animal species are out there in the world?
Well, let me inform you that there are almost 8.7 MILLION species in our planet!
Before the Industrial Revolution there were about 9.1M. So in a time period
about 500 years of continuous human evolution more than 1M animal species
had been totally extinct!
Right now there are around 500K endangered kinds of animals of which 13.000
will soon no longer be. This disaster is happening because of us, the human race.
Tigers, giant pandas, polar bears, red wolves and many others are most probably
going to become extinct in the next 200 years.
MOST
COMMON
ANIMAL
EXTINCTION
FACTORS
human industry 65%
natural phenomena 15%
human hunting 15%
unknown reasons 5%
INDUSTRIAL FUMES
Because of the unstoppable human industry
animals lose their natural habitats so those habitats
are later used to build factories and rubbish dump.
After the factory or the dump is completed the gas
which is released affects not only the animals but
the humans themselves.
ILLEGAL HUNTING
Humans will always hunt animals so they can use their skin or use
the oil or even simply for fun! BUT animal hunting can be dangerous
and illegal if there are no limits. That’s why there are some rules to
prevent overhunting. Unfortunately some people don't really care
about those rules and hunt animals without limits. Those humans are
actually committing crime. There is though a way to stop them. The
forest guards are always ready to arrest those criminals and make
them pay for their actions.
HUMAN OVERPOPULATION
The human population is so large that the resources needed
are way too many for nature to provide. Right now there are
7.6 BILLION people and in 2100 there will be about 10 B. The
animals killed for the resources are thirty times the number of
humans. As a result the animals are becoming less and less
and if the problem doesn't stop in 3000 2M animal species
will be extinct !
The easiest way to prevent animal extinction is simply by doing what you can to preserve the
environment: make sure not to use the car very often as a means of transport or try to buy
ecological clothes that are not crafted by animal skin or fur. You can also do some small but
important things like recycling and saving energy. Also a good but a little bit expensive way
of helping animals is by adopting them and providing money for their need and also being
able to go visit them (MERCY FOR ANIMALS,THE HUMANE LEAGUE,THE GOOD FOOD
INSTITUTE). You should ALWAYS call the police in case you witness illegal hunting or animal
abuse before the animals get hurt. REMEMBER by staying silent and by not calling the police
during an animal crime you will be officially a criminal and if arrested you may be charged
with a lifetime prison penalty!

hunting animals that were
supposed to be food for other
predators
4] Without predators or the
other animals a whole animal
food chain is gone.
How does animal extinction affect us
As a result, natural balance is lost. Whole
ecosystems may be changed for ever.
ANIMALS ARE NEEDED NOT ONLY FOR HUMANS
BUT ALSO FOR MOTHER EARTH. IF THE EXTINCTION
CONTINUES WE [HUMANS] WILL BE THE LAST
SURVIVING CREATURE ON EARTH. EVENTUALLY
THOUGH HUMANS WILL BE KILLED BY THEMSELVES
BECAUSE OF ALL THE DAMAGE THEY WILL HAVE
CAUSED TO THE PLANET. SOON THE PROBLEM
WILL BE UNSTOPPABLE AND WE ARE THE ONLY
WHO CAN DO SOMETHING. COULD YOU DO
SOMETHING ABOUT IT ? REMEMBER WE ARE NOT
GIVEN THE EARTH BY OUR ANCESTORS BUT WE
BORROW IT FROM OUR CHILDREN.
