Animal Extinction


Ironically, it's supposed that humans are intelligent species, but we are not capable of understanding those wild animals (the ones we kill every day) are one of the most significant components in saving a country's common habitat. In any case, human avarice and obstruction through the years have caused an increase of the animals included in the list of "endangered to extinction".

Wild creatures like tigers and elephants, for the most part, known for their elegance, thanks to evolution now have beautiful horns, skin, and hair.  Its a shame were killing them for our benefit. Millions of people around the globe sell the body parts of different animals for millions of pesos. But they dont take into account that even if we dont notice, wild animals bring many things to the planet.

One of the main causes of animal extinction is global warming. Mother Earth and its residents depend on the seasons for their routines and timings. Mating season, migration, all of it due to the weather. With global warming, the timing of seasons are changing, and we are not realizing this.  Some are longer than expected, some are shorter than hoped. While it seems nothing to us, humans, it is consequential towards animals and plants. This is directly affecting wild animals.

Chasing and poaching are additionally one of the primary drivers behind the peril of creatures. Different body portions of creatures are utilized for business purposes. Thus, to fulfill these requests, chasing creatures is basic in the natural life region. As technology and new methods of construction are advancing rapidly, humans are taking more and more natural terrain. With urbanization, we are destroying the habitat of animals and with it the animals too. Humans are destroying millions of acres of trees in our forests, taking away the home of koalas, birds, and monkeys.

Residents of each country and the legislature speaking to them should meet up and make strides in diminishing these killings by making a sheltered climate for the wild creatures where they can endeavor and imitate. Different estimates like structure asylums, exacting activity against poaching and untamed life activism have just been taken up which has expanded the number of inhabitants in wild creatures.

But not everything is bad. More people are coming together around the globe to protest, to ask for legislation, to ask for shelters for these animals and to make donations to protect them.

We are not God. We don't have the right to decide who has to die.

As quoted by Derrick Jensen, "No matter what we call it, poison is still poison, death is still death, and industrial civilization is still causing the greatest mass extinction in the history of the planet." 

Therefore, it means that the main reason for animal extinction is because of humans.
