Reality Check. “What Are the Most Endangered Animals in the World? – BBC News.” BBC, BBC, 21 Mar. 2018, www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-43475872.
This article explains which of the world’s animals are the most endangered. It describes animals in different situations all across the globe. From the Vakita, a pygmy porpoise to the Javan rhinoceros. A large part of the article focuses on the definition of an endangered animal and the different levels of endangerment that an animal can be classified under. It is an important article that brings together a large body of information to one place and examines the nature of the endangered animals system.
This article is related to environmental science because it describes the situations of several populations of organisms that are critically threatened by human activity. The Vakita is a peculiar situation because it was only discovered 60 years ago and now is on the verge of extinction. It shows how dangerous an indifferent attitude towards the survival of a species can be. If we do not actively exert effort to protect them from ourselves they may die out.
Additionally the death of a species can hurt an ecosystem. Ecosystems can suffer and other species can die as a result of a certain species dying out. I agree that humans should be more aware of the impact they are having on wildlife.
What is the push to save species that do not affect human activity?
Much of the push to save species is simply to spread awareness of the cause of these animals
The endangered species around the world are a huge problem and it is interesting to see which ones are the most endangered. You related this article to environmental science really well and, I think that it is important to save the species.
Thank you very much!
The endangerment of species has become an increased problem the world is facing today. What do you think are the best ways we can prevent against the endangerment of species?
Well, I think that the prevention of habitat destruction and pollution is very important.
How do you think as a community we can help protect endangered species from the industrial industry and the human civilization?
It is important to spread awareness and contact legislators.
