Being scientifically literate and being able to communicate is an important aspect for the general public and for scientists.

The one thing that the public does not comprehend and that the scientists do not enforce repetitively is that what one does for one’s own benefit leads to the extinction of mammals on this Earth. From the reading written by Raup, it summarizes into saying that extinction plays an important role in extinction and is conducted in three ways: field of bullets, fair game, and Wanton extinction. Field of bullets is when there is a catastrophic event that occurs randomly, and by change there are few individuals that survived the event. Fair game is when an individual is adaptable to fit into the environment it is in. And the Wanton extinction consists of having a big cause that leads to certain species to survive and others to die out. Taking this into account, scientists do not tend to emphasize to the public on the causes of these extinctions of animals enough, which leads to the public not knowing what is happening in the world, nor do they know how to control these causes. People do not know that the more they use animals for their own necessities and fulfillment, the more extinct animals will become. If scientists address the importance of these animals to remain living on land more, than one can say that the public will more likely try to reduce the amount of usage they conduct and turn their minds into implementing more animals from being
