Vanishing Species

Animal extinction is serious problem that is occurring on Earth. If animals disappear, the changes across the face of the Earth would be dramatic and we as humans wouldn't resist and die. Some causes of animals becoming endangered are habitat loss, pollution, irregulated or illegal killing and disease. Humans are the main cause of animals becoming extinct and it's really sad because most of the people don't care and only think about themselves.

Endangered species need to be take care of extremely good because most causes are caused by humans. The first cause is habitat loss; a habitat is an ecosystem a species needs to live in. Construction of homes, buildings, roads, timber harvesting, loss of farmlands and the creation of farmlands are making the habitat disappear. The second cause is pollution, pollution can be seen in the air, water or ground and it affects dramatically. Toxic substances dumped in a wooded area will destroy the soil and the species that live in it. Not only that but, it will also get into the groundwater below it.

The third cause is irregulated or illegal killing, sometimes this killing is due to ignorance about species and it needs to be strictly controlled.The fourth cause is disease. Most diseases occur naturally,but sometimes humans introduce diseases and problems into a species. The most example is DDT. DDT is an insecticide that was used all over the United States, it was found in water & soil and eventually worked its way up the food chain.

In brief, the vanishing of species is a very alarming situation that needs to be controlled or regulated. This is one of the most important problems in Earth history since amazing and important animals are disappearing causing a lot of panic and harm. People should pay more attention to the problem since it will make a great effect on their life too.
