becomes a frequent topic in household discussions, the fate of animal populations all over the world has also gained much needed attention. Illegal trade of wildlife has become an increasing problem in African countries, especially since conservation efforts receive little to no funding from their governments. However, another enigma presents itself to conservationists as well; whether or not trophy hunting aids or damages endangered species’ populations. Weighing these two issues and determining
Animals Many animals go extinct because people think it's okay to keep hunting them until there are no more of the population left. But it isn’t because if people hunt and kill all the species of that animal, then there would be none left. No elephants no giraffes or no emperor tamarin monkeys. Zoo’s have tried to take in endangered species, but if there isn’t any how would they get them? They couldn’t because it would be too late, people would have already killed them all. Elephants would travel
bluefin tuna are wearing rhinoceros and gorilla masks. For some reason these pandas and other creatures are the “mainstream” endangered animals. People seem to care more about these animals even though the bluefin tuna is actually in more danger. But, why? Is it because they are cuter? Nicer? More known? This photo makes me angry. Not only are we the reason that these animals are going extinct but, we’re picking and choosing which ones we care about more. Before I did some research on this fish,
seem to be classified with extinction, many people believe that they are one of the only animals that have ever become extinct. Sadly, this is not the case. As years pass, countless animals have become extinct, and many more are finding themselves critically endangered. The number of critically endangered animals will continue to rise, especially if people don’t give this serious cause a second thought. All animals should be protected from endangerment and extinction, because of each animal’s value to
probably seen a video or read an article about an animal being tortured then killed in the wild by a poacher. The videos are exceedingly graphic and the pictures used in articles aren’t any better. Animals aren’t just being killed, but their natural habitat are being chopped and burned down. The poaching and destruction of their natural habitat has left hundred maybe thousands of animals extinct and more are going extinct every single day. To help the animals from going extinct there are two solutions that

Endangered species can change a habitat due to their role in the environment. The EPA helps protect these endangered species with the help of National and State Parks in the United States. Each endangered species has different factors of why it is becoming endangered. Endangered species are sometimes caused by their loss of habitat. Reasons for the endangerment of a species can vary greatly from their loss of habitat to high genetic vulnerability to invasive species. Rapid climate change contributes
include, but are not limited to, declaring the animal as threatened or endangered and receiving the protection provided by laws enforced internationally. Once the threat of extinction is prevalent, a species is then considered endangered. Likewise, threatened is a term used to describe a species that is likely or close to becoming endangered. Due to various changes in the environment, animals all over the world are becoming progressively more endangered. In some instances these issues are irreversible;
Endangered animals are species that are in danger of extinction. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, they are 7 categories that gauge their status. These 7 are extinct, extinct in wild, critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable, near threatened, and least concern. Contrary to popular belief, these endangered species exist not only in Africa, but all around the world. We all are affected by this catastrophe.
