Animal Conservation

Every day many animals needlessly die because of human action. Animal conservation is where animal societies try to help all different types of species of animals so that they do not become endangered or have to face extinction.

It’s important to me because I love animals and if I do see something terrible happen to animals that is caused by people, I feel terrible. I do not like to see animals suffer.

It should be important to everyone because animals are important to the world! A lot of people have their favorite animal but may not realize that other animals that are endangered or extinct can affect their favorite animal too. That is because of two issues called the food chain and biodiversity. So what I’m saying is that everything is connected somehow.

Here are some major causes of extinction:
Deforestation
Poaching/over hunting/fishing
Pollution
Overpopulation
Climate change
Global warming

Animal extinction is part of nature and nature in parts we can’t control but there is something we can do. We humans are accelerating the force of nature which can do damage to animals all around the world.
