Animal Extinction

There are many animals that are endangered, meaning that there is only a small population of them left on the earth. There are also animals that are already extinct, meaning that none of their breed are still living. One of the main causes of animal endangerment and extiction is habitat loss. Forests being cut down, roads and buildings being constructed, and other destruction of natural habitats. Another cause is pollution, not only pollution of the air but also pollution of the ground, or the water. Competition from other species can also play a role in animal endangerment/extintion. Disease is yet another cause and can come naturally, or as a result of pesticides, or pollution. Finally predation, which is being hunted by another animal for food, or unregulated killing, which is being killed illegally by a human, are both major causes of animal endangerment/extinction. Many organizations have tried to help endangered species and some of them have been very successful. If we don't continue our efforts to help the endangered species, they too will become extinct, and therfore be lost forever. Someone should do something about it because life, of any kind, is too precious to allow it to be lost for eternity. When a species can no longer make it on its own, we should be there to help that species rebuild its natural environment, and to protect it from any harm.
