The success of the Sepilok Orangutan rehabilitation Center is Sabah is a clear example of how effective such conservation programs are.

I disagree with the notion that wild animals are redundant in the current century and therefore we need not waste our precious resources in protecting them. I believe that the conservation of these species should be our top priority as they are our most precious resources. In the following paragraphs I shall put forth my arguments to support my views. The most important reason for saving wild animals is that they are part of our

In a competition with humans for seafood‚ the sea otters stood little chance and they were driven to near-extinction until the 20th century. Fortunately‚ in one of the greatest marine conservation successes‚ the sea otters were saved Why save endangered animals: It is better save endangered species so that we may enjoy them. Once they are extinct‚ they are gone forever. Also‚ once a species is gone‚ it may disrupt the natural order of
