Earth’s biodiversity is been around for eons, one of the key factors why it have existed that long, is because of evolution and extinction. It is the nature’s way to continually adapt to the fast changing environment, though extinction is the “end of the line” of all living species; it is the key to the survival of the future generation species. But with humans around premature extinction will be a problem due to our selfishness and loss of respect to our environment. With humans also known as “wise man”, they will develop a way to slow down the premature extinction to prolong their existence and the other species as well.
More than 99% of all the species that have existed are now extinct, though extinction eliminates an entire type of specie …show more content…
But with today’s technology everyone is now aware of what’s happening and is willing to stop it. Infrastructures are made to shelter critically endangered animal to protect them from poachers and to increase their population by breeding them, other efforts are also made by being greener, more and more people are now recycling their trash, more people are switching to electric cars from the traditional cars to decrease population, and now scientist are mixing genes to prolong a species life. Artificial selection is the process in which desired gene traits and a few more is selected to be breed. Then selective breeding is performed to create large numbers of the specie they desire. One good example is fish genes being mixed in tomato genes, because the fishes can survive through cold weather without freezing and scientist are mixing it with tomatoes to enable the farmers to grow tomatoes during the late seasons. Genetic engineering is now becoming more and more popular with the scientist, because they can manipulate a species DNA, they can make a specie from a single tissue or modify a specie to contain a certain gene, all this genes mixing and creating a new specie is called biopharming. Biopharming had helped premature extinction rates to go down, because they can now modify the genes to have a longer life span by being immune to viruses, pest, and etc. Premature extinction is an unstoppable force that we humans have created, from generation to generation we have been abusing the Earth’s
