Endangered AnimalsDid you know that there are over 120 species of animals that have become extinct in the past 100 years due to human activity? There are many reasons why animals have so quickly become extinct including pollution, habitat destruction, and hunters. This is a topic many people aren't aware of, or they assume that other people are helping. But you thought wrong. You also might want to help but can't figure out how to do so. The following paragraphs will list ways that could be affective and make a difference in the rate animals are becoming endangered and then extinct. One way you
could help protect the endangered animals is by writing a letter to
the Secretary of the Interior. The letter could explain why a certain
species should be protected from hunters, fishermen, and poachers. Another way to help the animals is by donating money to wildlife preserves or organizations like WWF (World Wildlife Fund). You could set up fundraisers in your school with permission from your principal. This is one way to get the students attention.The money raised could then be used by multiple projects that are helping save endangered species. I have always thought that an entire species being killed forever was a horrible thing , but I've never realized how often it happens until now. It's very upsetting knowing that extinction is permanent. Some great web sites to
go to when looking for information on this topic are: by Ellen W. |
Then
that animals wouldn't be in danger of dying from unnatural causes but
would die a natural death. The population of that species might increase
and the eventually after a number of years it could be taken off of
the endangered species list.
