The extinction of animals is a natural process of the evolution and over the history has been produced massive extinctions in determining eras where the change weather are usually. Nowadays Ă lot of species are extincting faster than years ago the man is the only responsable of this extinctions. How can we prevent the extinction of animals? there are many endangered animals that are at risk of extinction. What that means is that we are at risk of losing these animals completely. We put considerable time, effort and money into saving endangered animals, but why? Extinction is a natural process that would happen with or without humans. But, while that is the case, research shows that extinctions are happening quicker now than ever before. And, loss of habitat is by far the biggest cause. This is a problem that we need to address, and here are a few reasons why. One thing we humans fail at is seeing the big picture. We are often blind to the interconnectedness of everything that supports life, a web so complex and interdependent, we are only beginning to understand it. The food chain, from the tiniest little microorganisms to the largest creatures on earth, keep us humans alive. So, when we talk about the grey whale, the timber wolf, the black rhino, itâs not just that we should save these endangered creatures for their own good, but itâs also for ours.The current legislation and government bodies that protect wild species from extinction are both being defunded and reorganized. It will be up to ordinary citizens and environmental groups to save these important links on the food chain. Here are someways to accomplish this. There are many things we can do to help endangered animals, here are a few suggestions. Protect wildlife habitats. Habitat loss is one of the biggest causes of extinction. Do your bit to preserve wildlife habitats. Volunteer to maintain a local nature reserve, campaign against deforestation or create a space for nature in your garden. Educate others. People are more likely to want to save animals if they know about them. Spend time doing some research and spread the word. Stay away from pesticides and herbicides. Animals are venerable to pollutants that can build up in the environment and can die if they consume high levels. Shop ethically. Avoid buying products made from endangered animals. Be an ethical tourist. We all love spending time with animals, but the rise of animal experiences abroad is endangering the lives of many animals. Often they are treated cruelly and kept t in unsatisfactory conditions. âEducate your family about endangered species in your areaâ There are many endangered species that we can find in all the world we can change the future of this species like protecting them and another thinks like stop the haunting of all of this species, all the species around the world would be protected by the human because animals are the balance in the world. Giant Panda Ailuropoda melanoleuca Native to the mountain forests of southwest China, the giant panda is one of the most beloved animals in the world. Giant pandas are identified by their distinctive black and white coloring. Their ears, muzzle, eyes, shoulders and legs are black while the rest of their body is white. Their thick hair keeps them warm in the cool, wet mountain zones. When on all fours, giant pandas average between 60-100 cm (2-3 ft.) tall at the shoulder and between 1-2 m (4-6 ft.) long. They can weigh between 100-115 kg (220-250 lb.), with males being larger than females. One of the interesting evolutionary traits of the panda is their protruding wrist bone that acts like a thumb. This helps the pandas hold bamboo while they munch on it with their strong molar teeth. Bamboo makes up nearly the entire diet of the panda. Due to the low nutritional value of bamboo, pandas need to eat 10-20 kg (20-40 lb.) a day. Occasionally pandas will eat other available food, including small rodents, eggs, fish and other flora. Bamboo provides a good amount of water, but pandas need to supplement this with fresh water daily. With only around 2060 pandas living in the wild, the giant panda is considered vulnerable of extinction by the IUCN. Due to the fact that pandas reproduce so infrequently, it is very difficult for their population to recover from such a low point. One the main reasons that panda populations have declined is habitat destruction. As the human population in China continues to grow, pandasâ habitat gets taken over by development, pushing them into smaller and less livable areas. Habitat destruction also leads to food shortages. Pandas feed on several varieties of bamboo that bloom at different times of the year. If one type of bamboo is destroyed by development, it can leave the pandas with nothing to eat during the time it normally blooms, increasing the risk of starvation. Macaw Overexploitation and Habitat Loss Of the 145 species of parrot in Central and South America, 45 are in danger of extinction. All 18 species of macaws are threatened. The primary causes are habitat loss and heavy exploitation for the pet trade. The hyacinth macaw is especially vulnerable to capture and habitat destruction because it is noisy, intrinsically fearless, predictable, and dependent on palm trees. Hyacinth macaws brought $5,000 to $10,000 each in the pet trade as of 1988. This high price fosters a dangerous level of poaching and smuggling. Data and anecdotal evidence suggests that as many as 10,000 Hyacinth macaws were taken from the wild during the 1980s. Trees are cut down to remove the young from nest holes, which not only removes that generation of birds, but permanently destroys the nest site. Hyacinth macaws do not breed every year even under the best circumstances, so this predation on chicks is particularly bad for the speciesâ survival. Since captured young survive so poorly (up to 99 percent die between capture and final sale), adults are sometimes trapped through liming of perches or use of baited clap-nets. Still, for every macaw that arrives safely abroad, it is likely that five died on the way. The United States is the largest market for the exotic pet trade. In the last decade, 8.5 million birds, at least 85 percent of birds captured in the wild, were imported or smuggled into the United States. Even when the export of birds is controlled, the domestic bird trade often is not regulated. Millions of tropical birds, including parrots and macaws, are captured for local sale. About 50 percent of hyacinth macaws trapped in Brazil were bought by Brazilians rather than being sold overseas. It is common in many rural areas for households to have a pet bird. Half the households recently surveyed in northern Argentina had some kind of parrot. Leopards Leopards could vanish before the tiger if this animal is not given due attention. This year alone, 30 leopards have died in Maharashtra while the Wildlife Protection Society of India has reported 207 deaths across the country compared to 290 deaths in 200 Leopards are the epitome of grace in motion. But leopard skins and canine teeth are widely traded in Africa, and leopard poaching is common in Asia. The IUCN lists leopards as ânear threatenedâ and warns their population is rapidly disappearing. Leopards live in sub-Saharan Africa, NE Africa, Central Asia, India and China but despite this wide geographic spread â the largest distribution of any wild cat â many of their populations are endangered. For instance, the rare, solitary Amur Leopard is listed as âcritically endangeredâ with a population in the wild of only around 60 remaining individual cats. And the highly adaptable, nimble snow leopard is listed as âendangeredâ with a population of only around 4,000 â 6,500 in the wild. It should not be a surprise that the biggest predators of these wonderful animals are humans. Sadly, these catsâ beauty is contributing to its decline towards extinction â demand for leopard fur and other body parts is driving a robust poaching market. In addition, hunting, habitat loss and retaliatory killings are additional pressures resulting in many of the Leopard subspecies teetering on the brink of disaster. These beautiful, solitary creatures deserve a chance to thrive in the wild. Letâs pass strong laws to end the illegal trade in leopard skins and other parts The highest number of leopards killed was in 2000 when it shot up to 1,278. From 1994 onwards, between 70-200 leopards have been killed every year across India Leopards tend to survive even outside the forests, as in the sugar cane plantations of Ahmednagar and Pune and therefore come close to the villages. That is how the man-animal conflict begins. Panthera onca is its scientific name, it is related to other species of big cats, such as the tiger or the lion. In fact, of the big cats, the jaguar is the third largest of all after just mentioned. It is one of the most important symbols of Mexican culture before the arrival of Hispanics, that is, the pre-Hispanic culture, where the role of spiritual protector was granted. The jaguar lives in jungle and swampy areas, which are being destroyed faster and faster. When we talk about threatened or endangered species we are referring to those species that become part of the Red List of Endangered Species or Red Book. This list was created in 1963 by the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature). This organization aims to ensure the conservation of biodiversity and the natural wealth of our planet. In this way, when we say that the jaguar is in danger of extinction, we are referring to a species that has been included in the IUCN Red List. Specifically, currently, the jaguar would have the category of "almost threatened species". The natural habitat is established in the center and a good part of the south of the American continent, which includes the Amazon jungle. In fact, currently, the main threat that is decimating jaguar populations is the deforestation of the Amazon, which is advancing by leaps and bounds to obtain new crop lands. However, it is true that although the destruction of its habitat is the main threat facing the species, it is not the only one. The deforestation of the Amazon should include poaching, illegal trafficking of exotic animals and traps of the peasants, who pursue this animal because it is a specie that attacks livestock. In conclusion we search for differents endangered species the most threatened in the world, animals are the most important think in the world because without they we didn't have a lot of things that we have now but only natural thinks like the honey the polen and the most important think is that animals can carry the balance in the world and we have to protect them all the species around the world like bee, elephants, leopards etc. This Text is to create conscience about how important are the animals and the hurt that we do to they, is that the only think that we have to see the hurt that we are causing in the nature, the place where they live we have to carry them and protect all the species around the world.
