Animals live all around us. Homes, deserts, rainforests, Arctic regions, the sea, and places we don’t even know about. Our world would be incredibly different if the fascinating creatures of Earth started dropping like flies.
Go back to the memories you have of going to the zoo. Relive it. Think of the way you weaved your around the different people to see your favorite animal, the way you stared in awe at the magnificent wonder in front of you. Beautiful fur glides past their shoulder blades as it walks past you. Soft rumbles escape from its mouth, frightening you. A small streak (pack) of animals with dark, amber fur, and ebony stripes, as unique to them as our fingerprints are to us, lay around. The creatures in front of you chuff, communicating

In 2010 there were only about 3,200 tigers left in the wild, yet there are more than 5,000 tigers kept in captivity just in the United States with owners who do not have the proper education on how to take care of their animal. The constant growth of the human population also takes a toll on tigers. World Wildlife Fund has vocalized about the endangerment of tigers, saying, “Tigers have lost 93% of their historical range. Their habitat has been destroyed, degraded and fragmented by human activities” (WWF).
Thankfully, World Wildlife Fund has stepped up to help protect tigers across the world. They have teamed up with governments to try and help tigers to thrive. With governments help, WWF has been able to designate land to tigers, and other wildlife, along with dropping the amount of illegal tiger trade in the black market. WWF has also monitored this species to help adapt their ways to help tigers. Because WWF acknowledged the rising risk concerning tigers across the globe, their population has risen to almost 3,900 tigers

Around the United States, there are several marathons help every year to help with WWF’s programs. However, WWF isn’t just purely made up of volunteers, and there are “Six thousand staff. Six million members. In over 100 countries. We are united. And together, we are protecting life on Earth” (WWF). There are so many more ways WWF has accomplished. On September 21rst, 2014, people flooded the streets of New York for country representatives to give more attention to climate change. Some of the programs they offer include adopt an animal, which allows you to buy an animal package to donate to that animal cause, marathons, spread the news about endangered wildlife, and so much more. With the programs offered, WWF is able to help plants, animals, the Earth, and humans. WWF puts no restrictions on who can help, because life won’t change in a split second. You need people to help you. However, protecting these species and wildlife isn’t free, and millions of people around the world are needed to help bring their mission to those who need it

    In the article, “Which Species Will Live?” by Michelle Nijihuis, she explains in her article her thesis and the main point, which is, that as a society, we need to make stronger efforts to save more species and to not just let them die out just because they do not deserve a position that is valuable enough for this society. She compares also what society should be accomplishing to a battlefield medic who, “works unstintingly to save lives, even while knowing that he or she cannot save them all.” This was an attempt to discuss her point on how individuals should attempt to save species if, once again, they are not able to be saved or even helpless.

Cody Walker was simply outstanding for the Bears, while John Olive returned from a first grade stint to score two tries in the opening 15 minutes. This match saw the Bears welcome new recruit Paul Carter to the side, and they were further boosted by the inclusion of regular first graders Jason Clark and Cameron McInnes. Cheyne Whitelaw also returned from a long-term injury – so the Bears went into the contest with an incredibly strong lineup.…

    From zoos, to aquariums, to petting zoos, and even our own pets, humans have always been fascinated by animals, and have gone to certain extents to use them for learning purposes, preservation, survival, companionship, and occasionally entertainment. Menageries allow people to learn about animals from a safe distance and see some animals which they would never have seen if it were not for wildlife parks. Many argue that captive animals are not happy in their environment, and should be set free from zoos in their natural habitat. Although many find captivity cruel and unnecessary, having animals in captivity is beneficial to our society as well as to captive animals because when done right, endangered species are protected and well taken care of, people are able to experience beautiful wildlife,…

    Imagine a young helpless animal being taken from its home in the wildlife and held in captivity, behind bars and gates, held a prisoner to the world.

    Animals need to have access to enrichment activities that allow them to express their natural behavior. These enrichment activities or toys aim to encourage natural behaviours such as hunting, use of scent and hiding food, provide animal welfare by increasing exercise, satisfying ‘behavioural needs’ and stimulating animals, and to promote visitor education so that visitors can gain a better understanding of their natural behaviours and interests. An example of enrichment provided to animals in captivity is the lions. Lions are given ostrich eggs or pumpkin seeds to spark their curiosity, fragrant herbs and oils to excite the senses and specially made toys to encourage natural behaviours such as hunting and stalking. Another animal which receives enrichment is bears.…

For example, humans don 't realise that their everyday lives are build around these creatures; what we eat, how we breathe, and how our world develops.

    Many species in the world are endangered and eventually becoming extinct. The main problem that generates extinction is human activity; people cause extinction every day and unknowingly to them, it is killing innocent animals. Due to pollution, natural forces, human interaction, and loss of habitats, animal extinction is a major crisis in the world; people are the only ones that can save the animal population before it is too late. Pollution is among the most insidious threats to animal extinction. It can be as obvious as sewage and oil spills in water or as invisible as chemicals used every day.…
