Today I was watching a program on Animal Planet about lions and fell in love with them. But that also got me thinking about other animals. Endangered in particular.
The top 10 most endangered species in the world are the tiger, the polar bear, the pacific walrus, Magellanic penguins, the leatherback turtle, the mountain gorilla,the bluefin tuna, the monarch butterfly, the javan rhinoceros, and the giant panda.
Animals become endangered because firstly: Humans destroy precious habitat when they dam rivers and cut down trees to make homes, roads and other developments. Secondly: Pollution.Oil spills, acid rains and water pollution have been known to be the cause of the death for many birds and animals. And finally, because many animals are over hunted for their meat, fur and other valuable body parts.
According to Barry Commoner, a staunch environmentalist and author of The Closing Circle , the first law of ecology states that ''Everything is connected to everything else''. It's so simple.The endangered species need to be protected because if that specific endangered specie is extinct, the animal that eats it will also get extinct. Apart from the fact that they hold the medicinal, agricultural, ecological, commercial and aesthetic/recreational value, it's just a right thing to do.
Look at the tigers and the polar bears, they are so cute. Large, but cute. They are pretty gentle too, who wants to get rid of a gentle giant ?
