Endangered Species
ENDANGERED SPECIES
Introduction An endangered species is a population of organisms which is at risk of becoming extinct because it is either few in numbers, or threatened by changing environmental or predation parameters. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has calculated the percentage of endangered species as 40 percent of all organisms based on the sample of species that have been evaluated through 2006.Many nations have laws offering protection to conservation reliant species: for example, forbidding hunting, restricting land development or creating preserves.Examines the premise that at various times in the past, many species have become extinct as a result of natural, rather than human, processes. Debates whether there is justification for society to make extraordinary efforts, especially at a great cost in money and jobs, to save endangered species.It's true that many, perhaps most, species have become extinct as a result of natural process rather than human interference. After all, compared to the existing time of the planet, human history is too short a period. However, this does not follow that it's of no justification for society to try to save endangered species. The contention apparently ignores the fact that there are a delicate ecological balance in the nature, of which human beings is a part and any action of any part of the ecological cycle will have an effect on the nature sooner or later.
Only a few of the many species at risk of extinction actually make it to the lists and obtain legal protection like Pandas. Many more species become extinct, or potentially will become extinct, without gaining public notice.Conservation statusThe conservation status of a species is an indicator of the likelihood of that endangered species not living.
