Extinction

Animals are one of our main sources of food and if they are all gone than there will be no food and we will have to resort to plants, which in the end will run out at one point leaving us stranded for food and eventually starving us all. Many animals we think are common are actually endangered. Quite recently one species of giraffe became endangered. When an animal species is considered endangered (when the birth rate is lower that the death rate), it means that the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has evaluated it as nearly extinct, which means that a significant portion of its range has already died off and the rate of birth is lower than the species' death rate. When hunters ignore rules that regulate the number of animals that should be hunted (a practice known as poaching), they can reduce populations to the point that species become endangered. Unfortunately, poachers are often hard to catch because they are deliberately trying to evade authorities, and they operate in areas where enforcement is traditionally weak ETC National parks in Africa hiding where there are few guards and they can’t easily see them. Some threats that are reducing the range of endangered animals are hunters, predators, consumers, pollution which destroys their habitat, destroying forests and swamps for farmland, and other things like being to cooped up in a farm.
