Animal extinction

Nowadays, the earth is in a terrible shape due to the men’s actions. Pollution, deforestation, and hunting are some of the irresponsible actions of people that are causing a huge negative impact on the earth. Some of the consequences of humans’ behavior such as pollution and deforestation can be fixed if we change our behavior. However, there are other consequences of our behavior that we will never be able to fix, for instance, the extinction of animals. Unfortunately, this is happening at an astonishing rate. According to WWF every twenty minutes, one specie is pushed to extinction. It is true that extinction is a natural thing that has been happening ever since the earth was formed. However, due to men’s actions, this phenomenon has been happening more often and way faster. The proof of the struggle of many species to survive over millions of years is being destroyed by humans. All this destruction is affecting us too. Even though the consequences of our behavior on us is not very clear compared to what happened and is happening to other species on earth, we are being really affected. Many species that served as our food supply disappeared or have been greatly reduced. Furthermore, due to deforestation and pollution the quality of the air has decreased a lot which has caused many people to get ill. If we do not change our behavior we will eventually end up as many other species, extinct.

  1. I think we defenately need to change our behavior tour animals because even though there are many campaigns working on animals safety and there are people also working on there own, a bigger change is needed and I don't see that big I think we definitely need to change our behavior tour animals because even though there are many campaigns working on animal’s safety and there are people also working on there own, a bigger change is needed and I don't see that big change yet. I can say for my self that I know animals are in danger and we most of the time put them in this position, but I have not done anything to help this issue. I have only owned one dog about 8 years ego which I loved and still think about him but I have not done anything to help other animals and like me there are probably millions of people.
