Brink of Extinction In Malaysia today the survival of wildlife have taken second place to human activity. All major wildlife species are now threatened with extinction. Does saving these endangered species and taking necessary actions for those who are on the brink of extinction means anything to you? Most of us are not aware that our Malayan Tiger‚ Clouded Leopard (Roy Goh 2011)‚ Pygmy Elephant‚ Sumatran Rhino‚ Orang-Utan and Turtles are in the under-extinction animals category

BIODIVERSITY AND EXTINCTION Biodiversity is determined by the variety of species extant in a specific ecosystem; this includes both animals and plants. Biodiversity is what gives an ecosystem a continuing and symbiotic relationship between all the organic and inorganic elements; maintaining the proper balance of different gases such as nitrogen‚ oxygen‚ hydrogen‚ carbon dioxide and many other elements‚ which differ in composition depending on the type of environment (such as subterranean‚ aquatic

Extinction and Evolution Ecology helps us understand the importance of mass extinction in evolution‚ and it also helps us understand some of the causes of extinction. Ecological niche is one of the most important concepts to understand. An animal or plant lives in a certain place is active at a particular times‚ and eats certain things; all these factors describe its ecological niche. Our environment is parted into millions of ecological niches‚ each that represents a probable home for life

Elizabeth Kolbert‚ The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History‚ 2014 Introduction Central to Elizabeth Kolbert’s 2014 publication is the assertion that globalization coupled with industrialization have paved the way for a new epoch‚ the Anthropocene. Dubbed The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History‚ the text explains “Anthropocene” as a period of “a human-dominated geological" age that will see humanity usher the world into its next mass extinction (Kolbert 108). Invented in 2000 by Paul Crutzen

reasons as well as argument for necessity of conducting such campaign. First of all‚ the environmental degradation is widely recognized as a primary reason. In fact‚ the deforestation and environment pollution have put creatures on the verge of extinction. Domestic apes in Vietnam‚ which have die out due to shrinking of tropical trees‚ could be taken as a particularly salient example of this. Ignoring the impact of human on minimizing the habitat of animals is thereby a grave mistake. Additionally

numbers of endangered species are still increase rapidly. However‚ there were still numbers of selfish people that did not even concern about the animal species that disappeared. Animal extinction can be defined as animal species no longer stay in the earth as it already disappeared. The factors that lead to animal extinction are irresponsible human’s hands that destroyed animal’s habitat by deforestation‚ illegal wildlife trades and climate change. Deforestation is the main causes that lead animal species

De-Extinction is one of the hottest topics in the science world currently and it tops the lists of conservation and genetic scientists alike for next big project. Though this could be a great way to learn of past species and finally see them for ourselves‚ at what cost is a species revived? The idea of bringing back an extinct species‚ such as some type of dinosaur‚ comes with many questions that most find to be debatable. Conflicts arise from every aspect of this “new” animal including how it is
