Why are there so many endangered species in the world?

Question

There are TOO many. Its sad...

Answer 1

You really want to know why? I'll tell you. The numbers are inflated by eco terrorist. Take the polar bear for example. Their population is now at an all time high in recorded history (about 150 years). Despite this these groups are trying to strong arm the US gov't to place them on the endangered species list. What this does is make the list useless and no one really knows which species is endangered and which ones are not.

Another fact is that not one single species is on the list because of global warming. ALL the so called facts on global warming have been debunked. ALL reputable scientists will admit that global warming was the invention of Al Gore. Although it so far has not gotten him what he really was after it was an ingenious invention in that it it made and his family rich for generations.

Answer 2

Duh........because if they weren't in the world they would be called "extinct".

Answer 4

BECAUSE OF US!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We pollute the water, we destruct the land, we pollute the air (amphibians are declining theory because of Global Warming) We poach and collect endangered species, I could go on and on. Yes there are too many, there will be many more in the next ten years, and the saddest part of all, in the next ten years we'll probably lose a few things forever (extinction).

Answer 5

they hide very good from the human eye

Answer 6

Too bad idiot isn't one of the. Yahoo answers is crawling with those.

Answer 7

Most of the species that are endangered are carnivoures, and that is because humans thought that most of them had eaten the farmer's livestock...and because the ones that were proven innocent were shot because their fur was worth money.

Answer 8

The cavemen probably had the same thought , as did the first upright homo sapiens. You started out as a molecule, became   a baby, you became a young woman and next you will be an old lady. The last progressive  step for you is as a bit of carbon. Your initial  molecule andy baby stage became extinct. At your present stage you are an endangered specie.

Nothing in the universe is static, stays the same. Saber tooth tigers are extinctin the world. Elephants , and their ancesters are extinct in North America.

When looking at this subject you have to look at the broader picture.

A lot of hype is going on now in Northern Ontario  over the wolverine. There have never been as many , in number as , say, pine marten .  The MNR  up here has put them on the endangered list as specie at risk. When trappers now accidentally catch them  they have to turn them in to MNR. There are no more in number caught now then were caught 20 years ago, yet they are supposed to be at risk.

There is just too much B S  in the public information sector which doesn't allow the average person to form an informed opinion.  Who do we believe. Not governments - they have agendas.

Mostly because of humans and their destruction of the earth.

Answer 13

It's called "natural selection."

Answer 14

there are many endangered species in the world, because global warming actually increases when things die off, thus killing more things. many other things raise the atmosphere's temperature too though... *cough* humans...

^^ hope i helped!

Answer 15

There is a huge global crisis called Global Warming going on that still many don't believe. All over the earth there have been massive hurricanes, destruction of environments, caused by pollution, and also war. Nuclear war is a big contribute to Global Warming and this smoke affects the sun's layers which allows more of the Sun's harmful rays to hit the earth. Now many polar species are going extinct. Many polar bears drown while searching for food.

The destruction of many of the world's forests are a huge contributor to endangered species. Many animals are losing their homes, therefore they can't survive.

There are many hunters all over the world and are many poachers in Africa. In Africa, Ivory, skins, and fur are part of many religions there fore many animals are hunted down.

These are the main results of loss of species. We can help save the environment and many of the species. We can all make this world a better place for all the animals, who are just like us.

Answer 16

Rapid urbanization and and population growth have caused too many reclamation of land for our own use. We have already intruded most of these creatures' natural habitat,which in turn have displaced these animals and affected their natural way of survival. In other words, humans are getting too close for their comfort.

Answer 17

because of humans. they have made lots of built env which is destroying natural env which is the habitat of the animals. they have no where to go and they die.......finally extinct. but why are you bothered with that? one person can do nothing to stop that happening...no offence^_^

Answer 18

Since we cut down trees and pollute the air it destroys the environment as well as the animals. But do we have a choice? If we stopped polluting the air and cutting down trees, what would we be? people want to save the environment, but it's not enough to save all animals.

Answer 19

Mainly they can not adapt to the changes in their habitat.

Answer 20

Its called evolution.... it has been happening since all things were created.

Answer 21

because our society is igonorant of how fragile ecosystems are. Also we tend to over consume until a creature is wiped off the face of the earth, almost happend to the buffalo and the whales. Deforestation and the polar ice caps are going to threaten thousands of species, not enough people care though...
