Animal species have been going extinct for ever since the beginning. Old animals went extinct because of new changes of climate or new animals driving them out. There has been 5 great extinctions and now we are facing the sixth, mostly because of our destructive behaviour towards our earth.

This is why I am making this. I feel bad for those animals and poor people are suffering while normal people and even some world leaders don't even accept what's happening! We can't let others suffer when there is so much you can do without it even affecting your life much at all!!! Please take into consideration that what you do will affect other people, making a decision like running rather than driving to work is good for you and everyone around you. Please try to make conscious decisions so you can make the world a better place. I have some tips for you.

1. No non-recyclable or non-reusable plastic, This doesn't take much, just refuse non-recyclable straws and when you are at a takeout please ask if you could have no plastic packaging, also coffee cups are also not recyclable but sometimes biodegradable
2. Always be aware of what you are buying, there is lots of ways to check if your products are good for the environment, most notably the amount it's traveled
3. Understand expiration dates!!! Try not to trow out any food waste. If there is any food that are nearly out of date and you know you won't be able to finish, please don't hesitate to donate to a local food kitchen!!
4. Notice the amount of water you use, water usage is a great contribute to global catastrophes as nowadays the global average per person is about 80 to 100 gallons but in America it's 100-175 gallons!!!
5. Try to stop eating meat or dairy
6. Try to reduce the amount of paper you use

And so on.......... There are lots of small things you can do to help the causes that matter

One major websites that preserve animals habitats are the WWF and the team there do amazing work that I would love for you to check out. If you're not convinced here's a video about what they do.

Iconic animals that are already extinct and how we can learn from them.

The Passenger pigeon and the Dodo

In my option, the most iconic animals to ever become extinct are the Dodo bird and the passenger pigeon as the tale of both their extinctions are really interesting. The Passenger pigeon especially.

The story of the Passenger pigeon

I think to give this bird the glory it deserves I think it would be good to watch this video to really understand the true amount of killing and destroying of habitat that went on......

These are animals that are already extinct, as dead as the Dodo, but learning about these creatures and how they died is very important when it comes to conservation efforts. We really need to learn from our mistakes and do our best not to repeat them. The thing is sometimes we don't learn from them and when I say sometimes I mean a lot. Though last year (2018) wasn't a big one for animal extinction, wikipedia quotes 'the current rate of global species going extinct is estimated as 100 to 1000 times "background" rates (the average extinction rates in the evolutionary time scale of planet Earth), while future rates are likely 10,000 times higher. However, some groups are going extinct much faster.' This basically means that animals are going extinct 100 to 1000 times faster! This extinction is due to other things we talk about on the website like pollution, climate change, waste and plastics and unclean farming

Animals that are critically endangered and how we can help them.

As with bees, yes they are endangered, well at least some important ones. In Ireland of the 100 species of bee one-third are threatened with extinction. If this might not seem like a big deal then look at this quote from elitedaily 'Bees perform a task that is vital to the survival of agriculture: pollination. In fact, one third of our global food supply is pollinated by bees. Simply put, bees keep plants and crops alive. Without bees, humans wouldn't have very much to eat.' This is much the same with bats with www.bats.org quoting 'Bats play an important role in many environments around the world. Some plants depend partly or wholly on bats to pollinate their flowers or spread their seeds, while other bats also help control pests by eating insects.'
