Topic: Endangered Species Issue Question: Should Endangered Species be Protected? Since the appeared of the first life on this planet‚ numerous species come and go‚ rendered extinct by natural changes in physical and biological conditions. Because extinction is a natural part of the order‚ if there are many other species still exist‚ some people might wonders why or what so unique about the endangered species that large sum of money and effort is spent in order to save and restore them (Why

Endangered Species Endangered species are living things whose population is so reduced that they are threatened with extinction. Thousands of species are included in this category. The International Union for the Conservation of nature and Natural Resources publishes a list of threatened mammals‚ birds‚ reptiles‚ amphibians‚ and (many people do not consider them) plants .CAUSES OF EXTINCTION Millions of years before humans‚ extinction of living things was linked to geological and climate‚ the

ENDANGERED SPECIES Introduction An endangered species is a population of organisms which is at risk of becoming extinct because it is either few in numbers‚ or threatened by changing environmental or predation parameters. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has calculated the percentage of endangered species as 40 percent of all organisms based on the sample of species that have been evaluated through 2006.Many nations have laws offering protection to

Endangered species are those considered to be at risk of extinction‚ meaning that there are so few left of their kind that they could disappear from the planet altogether. Endangered species are threatened by factors such as habitat loss‚ hunting‚ disease and climate change‚ and usually‚ endangered species‚ have a declining population or a very limited range. The current rate of extinction is thought to be far greater than the expected natural rate‚ with many species going extinct before they have

Had it not been for these‚ many more animals would have survived. Some species have either been made extinct‚ or become endangered‚ because of hunting. Now‚ even the very earliest

modified‚ but these tend to happen at a gradual pace. This allows most species to adapt to the changing environment‚ where only a slight impact may take place. However‚ when changes occur at a fast pace‚ there is little or no time for an individual species to react and adjust to the new circumstances. This cause disastrous results‚ and for this reason‚ rapid habitat loss is the primary cause of species becoming endangered. Nearly every region of earth has been affected by human activity. It
