Endangered Species
From our daily life being , I strongly believe that every people are now aware of the damage which our modern way of life impacts to the environment. Every kind of animals are the living thing that also get harm from human being ; more badly , some of them are extinct. It is very hard or impossible to call it back. For millions of years , extinction among animal was a natural process , in fact , it was part of the process of evolution. In the present,the extinction of some species has been the result of human activities. Will all kinds of animal be extinct or not in the next century ? It extremely depends on all of us how to consume the nature resources constantly.
Some species have either been made extinct or become endangered because of hunting. In the present , even the every earliest of humans were hunters because they ate the flesh of animal and clothed themselves by its skin. The more they hunt will lead to more extinction of animals. However , it was the introduction of guns with their accurate aim which put certain animals at great risk. By this time , animal were being hunted for trading purposes apart from the provision of food and clothing. For example , elephants were being hunted for their ivory. Attempts are being made to regulate such wholesale commercial hunting but it is difficult to control in some areas. Thus ,animals continue to die to make profits for humans. Of course, not only commerce is to be blamed . Hunting as a sport has also played a part in the extinction of certain species.
A more modern threat to many animals is the destruction of their environment and the resultant changes in the ecology of whole area . Our use of pesticides and other chemicals has polluted both soil and water . This pollution has proved to be toxic to many of plants where are part of the habitat of many animals . Furthermore, we regularly lay waste to land inhabited by animals, in order to make way for expanding populations or to provide goods for wealthy nation in case of deforestation. Modern living has had a deleterious effect on the ecosystem. We must try to reverse this to save our wildlife
