I want to stop animals from becoming extinct because every day more and more animalsare becoming extinct.These days people are doing very little to help stop this and save a lot of animal species.
My solution to try and stop animalendangerment/extinction is that I think it should be illegal to hunt, wound orkill animals if their population is 700,000 or lessand that it is illegalto throw trash in the sea and that if someone wants to destroy a habitat, they
can’t destroy it if there is three or more endangered species living in it.
ReasonsAnimals are Endangered or Extinct
One of the main reasons behind animalendangerment/extinction is loss of habitat. Loss of habitat happens mostlybecause of what humans do, such as deforestation. Another reason for animalendangerment/extinction is overexploitation. This means animals are hunted fortheir skin, fur, meat, or sometimes they are killed just for fun. Anotherreason for animal endangerment/extinction is climate change, which is a changein weather and temperature. Another reason for animal endangerment/extinctionis pollution, this is man-made. A few examples of some animals that have becomeextinct because of these reasons are the Passenger Pigeon, the Quagga, theArchaeopteryx, the Saber-Toothed Cat, the Plesiosaur, and the Dodo Bird.
