we need to go to forests. Although zoos probably are not a good idea to treat them‚ I still agree that we should keep animals in the zoos. First of all‚ we give protection for endangered species. Zoos help animals from being extinct. There are approximately a hundred million wild animals‚ and about twenty thousand species that die every year. Wild animals are in great danger from nature‚ diseases and worsening environment. At zoos there are veterinarians on hand‚ constant food‚ and there are no predators

250‚000 tourists visit the area annually Biodiversity‚ or biological diversity‚ is a term coined to describe the immense variety and richness of life on this planet. Biodiversity includes not only the many species that exist‚ but also the diversity of populations that make up a species‚ the genetic diversity among individual life forms‚ and the many different habitats and ecosystems around the globe. The use of the term biodiversity grew out of a concern that efforts were needed to conserve

Constrictors help out by catching and disgusting rats. The Boa Constrictor is connected to the bigger Anaconda. Boa Constrictor gives delivery (birth) to live young; up to 65 2-ft (60-cm) long baby snakes are born at same time. All the species of boas are also endangered otherwise protected.

LITERATURE REVIEW The Hawksbill Turtle has become an alarmingly endangered species in recent years. The turtle’s biggest threat is humans. The Hawksbill turtles have been physically harmed and so have their habitats. Many Hawksbill turtles are accidently caught in fishing nets or hooks. When the turtles are captured or tangled in nets‚ they are prevented from receiving oxygen‚ so the turtle drowns to its death. Fishing hooks have violently stabbed and killed the turtles (Callender‚ 2013). Another

About the African Penguin The African Penguin‚ Spheniscus demersus‚ is also called the Blackfoot penguin and the Jackass penguin. This penguin is found off the coast of Southern Africa. Penguins are birds that cannot fly‚ but penguins swim very well and spend most of their lives in the sea. African penguins can swim at a speed of about 4.3 to 15 miles per hour (7-24 kph). This bird got its name from the donkey- or jackass-like sounds that it makes. Anatomy: African Penguins are about 2 feet (60

million described species on earth‚ but estimates of as many as 5 to 50 million total species have been projected to exist (Becher‚ 1998‚ 60). Tropical entomologist Terry Erwin’s research supports that there may be as many as 30 million insect species alone in the tropical rainforests (Shiva et al‚ 1991‚ 14). One of the true challenges to biodiversity is that there are so many species that we may be obliterating that we are not even aware exist yet. We are destroying species faster than we can
