endangered species 2

"Quarter of the world's mammals on danger list"
may,2009

Summary: "A report has revealed that at least 1,000 species are under serious threat largely due to the effects of human behavior."

The Red List of Endangered Species has announced in their latest report that over 1,000 species of mammals are at risk of extinction due to the destruction of habitats caused by hunting. After a study of 5,487 species, 1,141 were found to be at risk. This is such a high amount it is frightening. Humans are animals too you know? On day we may become the 1/5 that are endangered. This is what makes the concept of extinction so scary to me. One day the human race may be wiped out completely and never return.“Within our lifetime hundreds of species could be lost as a result of our own actions, a frightening sign of what is happening to the ecosystems where they live”.
