For decades we have lost many wonderful animals due to their extinction. These animals are considered to be an endangered species. These animals are being affected due to their habitat being destroyed and moving them to a new habitat in which they aren’t used to. Another main reason is because of illegal hunting.

In Jerry Coyne’s work, Why Evolution is True, he noted two kinds of evidence from Darwin’s theory of evolution. The first evidence includes the six testable predictions of evolution: evolution, gradualism, speciation, common-ancestry, natural selection, and nonselective mechanisms of evolutionary change.

“For most of the wild things on Earth, the future must depend upon the conscience of mankind,” said by ecologist and pioneering conservationist Archie Carr. Humanity has vast amounts of responsibilities and one of those responsibilities is to take care of the wild animals in our world.

“40% of lion cubs, in zoos, die before one month of age. In the wild, only 30% die before they’re six months old” (Ten Facts…). More and more animals are dying every year due to poor living conditions in zoos. Many animals are not being rescued, but they are being taken from the wild.
