The Endangered

It once roamed the Earth years ago. Then, humans wiped the Dodo bird out with factory smoke, cutting down trees, and global warming. This is not the only animal that has been effected by humans. With the help of the Endangered Species list, we can help the animals in need.

Animals often get on the Endangered Species List from people polluting (which destroys the animals homes), people hunting them to a certain extent, oil spills, they get caught in fish nets, people cutting down their homes in the trees, and so much more. Although all of these reasons sound bad, their are ways we can help them and not hurt them.

The Endangered Species List teaches people about the endangered animals and how to help them. They teach people because they want people to understand why the animals are important, and the reason for conserving them. Also, if people know how to help, they will help. They tell people that they can help by not polluting, don’t litter, and so on. As well as saying what they can do to help, they tell people the effects of polluting and littering. They also teach people a little about some species and their environment. They teach people about their environment because they want them to know where the species habitat is and how not to destroy it. Obviously, the Endangered Species List think that people can help endangered species. An example of raising awareness of the endangered species is they have annual turtle races. They track the turtles and see what their life is like. People get to watch them when ever they want and they can help the turtles if they get in trouble. They do this just so people can get involved! The Endangered Species List teach people about endangered species because they care.

The Endangered Species List prevents animals from going extinct and from getting on the list. One way they do this is, they pass laws like antipollution, banning of hunting, Endangered Species Act, and so on. They do all those things to protect the animals! Other countries get involved too. When a bird or animal crosses the international boundaries, they protect them from poachers and other harm. They also stop international trade of endangered animals. Since 1973, ( when the endangered species act was made) the status of an animals species has become stable or improved. Without all the help and laws, a lot more animals would have gone extinct.

The Endangered Species List helps endangered species get off the list. A way they do this is when an animal becomes endangered, they put it in a captive breeding sanctuary. When the process is successful, they release the offspring into its habitat. Another way they help animals get off the list is, when an animal gets put on the list, right away the Endangered Species List comes up with a plan on how they are going to get it off. An example of how they help is turtle races, they track the turtles to find out more information about them. They learn about their predators, water pollution, and other important information. This information lets the Endangered Species List help the turtle and take safety precautions. They clearly care about the endangered animals. Some people think that the Endangered Species list does not help the animals when they get off the list. But matter of fact, the Endangered Species List and the Endangered Species Act (as well as other groups) keep an eye on the species even after they are removed from the Endangered Species list. When they have hunting laws and trading laws, they keep them even after the species is removed from the Endangered Species List.

It is clear that the Endangered Species List cares and helps the endangered animals. They prevent them from getting on the list and going extinct, they help them get off the list, and they teach people about the animals so they can help. You can do something too! You can join a group or even create your own to support an endangered species. You will be pleased with the way you helped an endangered species in need.
