the white race.

Answer 2

have you been living in a cave well DAH check out the site miss meme gave you the 1st person to respond to you

Answer 3

yeah I'd say so.

from wikipedia

"According to a 1998 survey of 400 biologists conducted by New York's American Museum of Natural History, nearly 70 percent believed that they were currently in the early stages of a human-caused mass extinction,[20] known as the Holocene extinction event. In that survey, the same proportion of respondents agreed with the prediction that up to 20 percent of all living populations could become extinct within 30 years (by 2028). Biologist E. O. Wilson estimated [5] in 2002 that if current rates of human destruction of the biosphere continue, one-half of all species of life on earth will be extinct in 100 years.[21] More significantly the rate of species extinctions at present is estimated at 100 to 1000 times "background" or average extinction rates in the evolutionary time scale of planet Earth;[22] moreover, this current rate of extinction is thus 10 to 100 times greater than any of the prior mass extinction events in the history of the Earth."

Hopefully these are the direst of estimates and won't occur, but it indicates that we might have a problem.

Answer 4

Sadly yes.

The most important of all.

The commonsense, free thinking concerned individuals that are capable of changing things for the better and halt the terminal decline.

Government supported by the corporate might has a different agenda to the "rest" of us and imposes its will upon the globe.

Answer 5

Of courses:

Bears- They're endangered because of Bear Hunting Season.

Wolves- They're also endangered because wolf's skin make good fur jacket.

Any Seafood Creature (Crabs, Squids, Octopus, Clams, etc)- They're endangered because we eat them.

Ducks/Turkeys/Chicken- They're also endangered because we eat them.

Florida Panther

Answer 8

that link is good.

Alot of animals are dying because of habitat loss (building homes in alaska is driving out the bears) and whales can mistake tiny particles of plastic as plankton and eat it (plastic IS NOT BIODEGRADABLE) There are multiple areas of trash in the open ocean that are the size of TEXAS, which, is NOT good for the marine animals.

Answer 9

There are plenty in the US...most are endangered due to habitat destruction and human encroachment.  This is the reason most animals in the world are threatened or endangered.  I study endangered birds here in California..the Least Bell's Vireo, the Southwesten Willow Flycatcher, and the California Gnatcatcher.  I also study declining bird species as well.
