Animals Warn Us

 

Animal extinction is a tough problem for humanity for many reasons. Animals are not creatures that passively shares the planet with us. Although the issue is underestimated, they affect the environment and habitants actively and directly. To begin with, they help the natural cycle and reproduction of lice and the nitrogen  in nature, provide nutrition and clothing for us. It is inhumane and illogical that we destroy their home; i.e. forests. Scientists say that if the deforestation continues at this rate, there will be a huge price to be paid by humanity. The living and non-living cover will disappear. Erosion, floods and air pollution will increase significantly. Biodiversity will suffer great damage and animals will ultimately become extinct. One solution to this is to stop global warming. If we can  stop global warming, climates will not change, and animals will be able to continue their generation. Therefore, we must use less paper and more recycled items. We must reduce fossil fuels as much as possible, for example, we can walk for short distance trips instead of driving, thus causing less harm to the environment. Using sustainable energy sources is another bright solution. Wind and solar energies can protect nature and meet peoples’ needs without harming nature. In short, if we can reduce pollution and deforestation, we can protect animals from extinction. Warning: if we silence animals, we won’t be able to hear what the mother earth is telling us.
