  1. of the earth's estimated 10 million species, 300,000 have vanished in the past 50 years. each years, 3,000 to 30,000 species become extinct.

    a lot of human activity is speeding that up since we tend to overpower all the other species in one way or another.

    some reasons why animals are being wiped out ,in the forrests are:

    the hunting of exotic species for the consumer market

    only about 10% of the animals caught survive

    the hunting of animals for food by settlers

    forrest fires ,that have started because of slash and burning of forrest ,to clear the land for farming, had gotten out of control

    the loss of Habitat because the conditions have changed ,e.g less humidity because of surrounding farmlands ,or overpumping of rivers for human use(farming and utility)

    because of contamination of the waters ,

    expanding populations and expanding farming ,that has to keep pace with the expanding populations are very strong forces that encroach upon the rainforest's

    clearing them for farming and settlement areas .

    In Mexico is a famous jungle that the Media has been trying to save for years

    the Naturists ,and the government ,keep watch .laws are made for protection the wild and to forbid logging.

    TV put out a series of documentaries

    there are campaigns in the News papers

    and all of this has not made the slightest difference

    Rainforest's always are in third world countries and always in third world countries corruption and the need for money s highest

    the jungle gets smaller by the day

    more and more farmers move in .and burn the trees

    it is an impossible situation

    as long as there is poverty in these regions the destruction will continue

    and the Animals will continue to be trapped ,as long as people keep buying the exotic animals

    CLIMATE CHANGE

    And now many animals are becoming sick because of changes in temperature ,

    vital links in the food chains are disapearing affecting other species further along in the chain

    90% of the feral (wild) bee population in the United States has died out.

    Recent studies in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands have shown that bee diversity is down 80 percent in the sites researched, and that "bee species are declining or have become extinct in Britain." The studies also revealed that the numbers of wildflowers that depend on pollination have dropped by 70 percent.

    If bees continue to die off so would the crops they support and with that would ensue major economic disruption and possibly famine.

    Bees are not the only polinators but if these things are happening to bees we can bet on it that other insects are also in trouble ,on top of this many people are spraying for mosquitos ,with drastic effects .

    so much follows the insects in the food chains ,that we can expect a lot of very bad changes in the environment .

    only time will tell what is in store for us ,and that time is running now .

    everything is happening so fast it is not possible to monitor events any more
