Who hates the fact that there are endangered spicies?

Question

I hate it, i dont wanna grow up and find out all the lions went extinct, same for tigers and stuff. It sucks that people are killing living creatures for money. Why are the governments not taking strict measures against this. It totally bums me out. I think that now that cloning has been successful. They should preserve endangered animal dna, so that when technology reaches a certain point they can clone them.

Answer 1

Everybody who likes animals hates it

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

Answer 2

Besides the fact that you apparently watch too much Public TV, I think that it is important to remember that Darwin had it right. There have been countless species go extinct on this planet as new, more adapted species have formed. It is the circle of life and it has gone on long before man was found on the earth and will continue to happen as long as the earth has the ability to sustain life. I don't think that it is so important that we should meddle in nature's affairs.

I don't think you should let this sort of unimportant stuff ruin your day, man... life is good and meant to be enjoyed!!

Answer 3

I hate the fact that there are endangered species very much.  In fact, scientists have concluded that there is only 1% of the total amount of species left.  (The rest of the 99% that were existant are now extinct).  And of this 1% we have onyl found a small fraction.  They think that there are millions that are still yet ot be discovered.

  It makes me upset that no one may ever see these millions of new species because of the deforestation and the ruining of habitat.  I agree that the government needs to take the initiative and do something about protecting the rainforests and placing strict rules on the industries and deforestation.

   Scientists have actually found Woolly Mammoth DNA from a frozen baby woolly mammoth that they might use to see if they can bring back one of the species.

  But so many species have already gone extinct and no one has kept the DNA to try to revive any of the animals or plants.  

  It makes me sad that there are still poachers and hunters that kill animals for their own materialistic wants- furs, pelts, ivory.  It disgusts me.   I just wish that people would realize that all animals are an important contribution to the world and that it is unfair to them that their habitats are being ruined.  Some animals may have to live their lives in fear from these poachers.

  I hope that everyone can realize sometime in the near future that we need to do something and to save all animals before they go extinct because of our mistakes.
