ARE THE FUTURE GENERATIONS GOING TO KNOW AS MANY ANIMALS AS YOU?
The future generations aren’t going to know as many different species of animals as us. Nowadays, we, human beings, are destroying thousands and thousands hectares of forests all around the world in order to replace them with cultivations, that ruin the soil, as we’re using a lot of dangerous chemicals.
Then, we’re wasting a lot of energy produced by fossil fuels, we’re using a lot of times cars to move and many factories still haven’t changed the way they consume energy and pollute the environment. We are still using a massive quantity of plastic that we never recycle.
With all these actions we’re polluting the atmosphere and our precious oceans: we’re gradually eliminating the house of thousands of different and beautiful animals, such as tigers, pandas, rhinos and polar bears, that are dying at an incredible speed.
Future generations won’t see those animals and probably
they won’t be able to see their habitats with the diversity of plants. I don’t know if it’s too late to change things and if it’s not, it will be so hard to do it.
Yes, there are zoos or natural reserves created by us, maybe they’ll work, but it will never be like seeing the animals in nature, and not in an artificial facility.
Also, some animals are now in danger of extinction because, we, human beings, buy coats made with fur of jaguars or zebras or we buy medicine or ornaments made with parts of animals like the rhinos. What are we doing?
Think that a little time ago the last white rhino in the world died, even if we tried to protect it. We will never see it nor some other beings like it if we don’t act NOW.
