Pandas are unique animals and live in forests. We should do anything that can possibly help to save the giant panda from extinction because when it is gone, it can never come back. Pandas play a very crucial role in China for bamboo forests by spreading seeds and helping the vegetables to grow. The panda population has decreased because when people are in need of land, they cut down the forests that the animals live in. As result, cutting down bamboo makes survival challenging for the panda. It is

Species are important to the world, but endangered species should always matter. The ecosystem is run off a food chain. if animals go extinct the entire food chain will be messed up.

Most animals housed in zoos are not endangered, nor are they being prepared for release into natural habitats. In fact, it is nearly impossible to release captive-bred animals into the wild. A 1994 report by the World Society for the Protection of Animals showed that only 1,200 zoos out of 10,000 worldwide are registered for captive breeding and wildlife conservation. Only 2 percent of the world's threatened or endangered species are registered in breeding programs. Those that are endangered may have

Each animal in every ecosystem play an enormous role where they’re native to. In the Everglades, the native species of the snail kite thrive and flourish in the large overlapping trees of the marshes. But then, a cheetah patterned reptile juts his head out from the mangy bushes and snaps the poor snail kite right in half in one pinch. In muddy and murky marshes, the American Alligator swims freely, bobbing it’s eyes up and down to see over the murky water. Then you hear the cock of a gun “Crrrrrok

Hunting The death and suffrage of animals are a part of hunting. My claim is that big game hunting should continue. My three reasons to support my claim are people don’t waste the animal. Second if we take out the aggressive animal out of the herds then more calves will be born. Third the money being made to buy the permits will go to the country's government to protect the endangered animals. The first reason I have to support my claim is that people don't waste the animal, For example the people who

hundred and six species are endangered. In the past five hundred years, humans have driven three hundred and twenty-two species to extinction.

Congress passed the Endangered Species Preservation Act in 1966, providing a means for listing native animal species as endangered and giving them limited protection.

The Act also authorized the Service to acquire land as habitat for endangered species. In 1969, Congress amended the Act to provide additional protection

European zoos offered to take him while he was still alive, but the decision was already made to end his life. Later his carcass was to be fed to the zoo’s lion and tiger collection.

these and more are common misconceptions. Every year, trophy hunters kill thousands of exotic wild animals, representing hundreds of different species. Preferring to kill the most beautiful, largest and the rarest, there is no regard for species protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) such as the African elephant or leopards ("Trophy Hunting - - In Defense of Animals."). The more rare the animal, the more thrill to kill for the “big game” hunters, and the higher the price for the permit.
