Perhaps many could not imagine that their generation would be witnessing the beginning of the definitive disappearance of some animal and plant species from the earth, to the point of be part of what aims to be extinction number 6 to occur on our planet.
Currently, climate change is the direct cause of the disappearance of biodiversity (that since 1970 has registered a decrease of 68%), to which is added the changes in the use of land and sea.When we talk about extinctions of the planet we have to go back millions years, the data show that the periods between one and the other are increasingly short and that the disappearance of species advances at an alarming rate.
Any animal species is considered in danger of extinction, when its existence and Reproduction cannot take place anywhere in the world, that is to say, it is never will be able to see again. This is generally due to the fact that some of the resources of which depend on these species has ended, either by mankind such as illegal hunting or indiscriminate cutting down of trees.
Many countries have laws to protect these species: for example, by prohibiting the hunting, restricting the development of the land or creating nature reserves, in fact few endangered species receive legal protection. Most species are extinct or may become extinct without a public response, the large number of species
have become extinct in the last 150 years, it is cause for concern
The current rate of extinction is between ten and one hundred times higher than that of any other extinction mass in the history of the earth, if this rate of extinction persists or accelerates, the number of Species extinctions in the next decade could be estimated in the millions.
The main animals in danger of extinction are: The polar bear, The bear The panda, the elephant, the whale, the chimpanzee, the mountain gorilla, the snow leopard and the Sumatran tiger.
Thank you very much for your attention friends, I hope your votes and comments success for everyone… .
