Question

Do endangered species have any impact on the human life for example in the environment?

Answer 1

The government raises our taxes to try and protect them. Other then that, there is no real impact on human life.

Answer 2

Well yes. All endangered species have an effect on the enviorment. "The Thread Of Life Will One Day Break If Animals And Plants Continue To Go Extinct."

Answer 3

Yes.

I'll give you one example:

Where I grew up, harvesting fresh-water mussels from rivers was a big but largely unknown business.  Regulation was difficult.  Trawlers used toothy rake type things to pull mussels from the river beds.  If they were too small, the regs said they had to be thrown back.  Of course, that was after the rake had broken inside the shell, effectively ending the life of that mussel.  

Bigger mussels were harvested for their shells alone, chipped up, and used to seed oysters for pearl cultivation.

By the mid-1990's, many species of mussels were endangered.

Since mussels are living water filters, the quality of the water in the raked rivers suffered.  Bacteria made made swimming there a bad idea.  The bacteria also resulted in fish kills, meaning that even those fishers who chose to take the risk of eating contaminated fish couldn't find fish.

This is still the case.  So, again, yes.

Answer 4

The environment and everything in it provides us with life. We have air to breath, water to drink and food to eat.

We are supposed to blend or this very delicate ecosystem that allows us to live changes and the domino effect changes everything.

The weather severity now in Canada and the U.S is an example. The heat we are generating on the surface is changing weather and when the conditions are right, we have severe weather. In Canada, the natural drainage of the terrain has been changed with development and now the whole water cycle changes. In my area we have floods, mudslides and the rivers are over flowing. We had 260 mm of rain(10 inches) in southern BC.

When you hear about endangered species, pay attention because we are one.

Answer 5

Good question, the fact that DDT (Dichloro-Diphenyl-Trichloroethane)  has been banned our environment has got better. Most endangered animals especially the Bald Eagle has started to reproduce again.

The food cycle was destroyed with chemicals and that destroyed our environment as well. Even the EPA(Environmental Protection Agency) has strict guide lines and regulations that have to be followed in order to protect endangered species such as the Georgia Tree Frog.

Those little green frogs help eat bugs and at the same time are kind of cute to watch stick to your windows during the rain.

If we as humans beings do not respect and protect our environment we are setting our own death trap.

Answer 6

Of course not. If any had any impact, we'd be sure to kill it off.
