Animal extinction
Teacher: Sandra Fontes Subject: English Date: 22/03/2024 Student: Ana Silva Nº1 T120
Introduction
The world is facing a devastating crisis as species are vanishing at an unprecedented rate. Habitat loss, poaching, pollution, and climate change are driving thousands of animals towards extinction. This devastating loss of biodiversity threatens the delicate balance of our ecosystems and the future of our planet.
The scale of the problem
03. Nearly 30% of all assessed species are now classified as threatened with extinction.
01. Over 1 million species are currently threatened with extinction worldwide, according to the IUCN Red List.
02. Between 200-2,000 species go extinct every year, with the current rate over 1,000 times the natural background rate.
Causes of animal extinction
Habitat Loss
Poaching
Illegal hunting and trade of endangered species for their body parts, meat, or exotic pets.
Deforestation, urbanization, and agricultural expansion are destroying natural habitats at an alarming rate.
Climate Change
Rising temperatures, sea levels, and extreme weather events are devastating many species' natural environments.
Endangered species
Endangered
Species facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild in the near future.
Endangered
Species facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild in the near future.
Critically Endangered
Species facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild in the immediate future.
Protecting biodiversity
Habitat ConservationPreserving and restoring natural habitats is crucial to protect endangered species.
Anti-Poaching EffortsStricter law enforcement and Community-based anti-poaching initiatives are vital.
Sustainable Development Balancing economic growth with environmental protection is key to long-term solutions.
Public Awareness Educating the public and promoting eco-friendly behaviour can drive change.
Conservation efforts
National Parks
Ecosystem Restoration
Establishing protected areas to safeguard endangered species and their habitats.
Replanting forests, mangroves, and other natural habitats to revive biodiversity.
Scientific Research
Species Recovery
Studying species and ecosystems to develop effective conservation strategies.
Captive breeding and reintroduction programs to boost dwindling populations.
The role of individuals
Reduce Consumption
Adopt a more sustainable lifestyle by minimizing waste and choosing eco-friendly products.
Spread Awareness
Educate others and advocate for stronger environmental policies and regulations.
Support Conservation
Donate or volunteer for organizations working to protect endangered species and habitats.
The future of our planet
Biodiversity Loss The extinction of species leads to the disruption of natural ecosystems and the loss of valuable genetic resources.
Ecosystem Collapse Damaged ecosystems can no longer provide essential services like water filtration, flood control, and carbon sequestration.
Climate Catastrophe Unchecked climate change will further exacerbate habitat loss and species decline, creating a vicious cycle.
