The Cheetah is an Endangered Species because people are hunting it for its fur, loss of habitat, and because people think it?s a pest. There are only about 12,000 Cheetah?s left in the World. If this continues who knows how many Endangered Species are going to face extinction. In conclusion, if people continue to kill animals for fun or pleasure there will be no animals left in the world. Think…
Endangered species are organisms that have such a reduced population that they are threatened with extinction. There are thousands of different species that are included in this list. Millions of years before humans existed, causes of extinction of living things were mostly linked to geological and climate effects (environmental change). Even though, environmental change is still the primary root for the extinction of organisms, but now the process of extinction is accelerated by human…
Countless amounts of animals are becoming endangered right now. The more endangered a species, the harder it is to save them. Although a good amount of people don’t take this topic seriously, animal endangerment is a topic that is not to be thrown around lightly. If an animal species becomes so endangered that humans cannot help it, it could become extinct and we may never see it again. People should try more to help endangered animals because they are dying due to habitat loss, climate change,…
treatment and elephants are killed for ivory tusks. Welcome to the world of endangered animals in China. Poaching of endangered animals started happening in the 1900's when the Chinese made a law for animals welfare and animal rights. Chinese people wanted these endangered animals for food, medicine, showing off when guests come over, valuable items, uniqueness and to sell animal products.

Kenya, a place in mid east Africa; home to thousands of endangered elephants. Humans aren’t the only living things seeking love and affection, animals do too. Not only do humans have an incredible bond with each other, but humans share this bond with elephants as well.

Animals, as well as people,…

The Endangered Species Act of 1973 has become the strongest and most important federal law in the protection of imperiled wildlife and plants. It has played a big role as the forerunner of animal rights in the U.S political system outside of domesticated species. It federally prohibits against the “taking” of an endangered species, enabling “protections making it illegal to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, collect, or attempt to do these things to these animals and…
How could we lose so much yet care so little? It's been about 40 years and our Wildlife population has gone down but at least half. How could one not notice that? We go to zoos and Aquariums looking at the animals in wonder and still go around trashing their habitats because we can't seem to care enough. Care that more animals go on the endangered species list every year. Every year we spend our time ignoring and killing our wildlife population as it decreases in number. Why can't we see that…
return for their outstanding abilities, mammals are the dominant species. Human beings are also mammals.
