Wildlife conservation is the preservation‚ protection‚ or restoration of wildlife and their environment‚ especially in relation to endangered and vulnerable species. All living non-domesticated animals‚ even if bred‚ hatched or born in captivity‚ are considered wild animals.

unique wildlife is the Lemur. There are over 50 varieties of this primate‚ and all of them are endemic to Madagascar (wildmadagascar.org‚ 2007). Unfortunately‚ Lemurs are on the endangered list as a threatened species. There have been 45 species recorded as extinct on Madagascar‚ and many more species are on the endangered list. The threatened list includes 57 birds‚ 51 mammals‚ and 61 fish species endemic to Madagascar (biodiversityhotspots.org‚ 2007). The island also has some severe environmental

Anthropogenic means the extinction is caused by human actions. For example‚ species like the Bengal tiger‚ primarily in India and black rhino on the coast of east Africa. The Bengal tiger makes the endangered list and the black rhino makes the critically endangered because of early hunter’s. Bringing back some already extinct will give justice to those who promote conservation. Re-establishing lost value is another argument to bring back some lost value over hundreds of years.

If I was writing a report on an endangered species I would choose the sea turtle. The reason I would choose the sea turtle is because in our source “Turtles in Trouble” it gave us the story of a turtle named Adelita. This turtle traveled 6‚000 miles alone to Japan. To me that is pretty amazing that a turtle can remember where she laid her eggs especially since it is very far away. Another reason I choose this article is because was pretty reliable. This article was reliable because scientist Jay

White tigers are an endangered species and it is said that less than a dozen have been seen in India in about a hundred years. In fact no sightings have been reported since 1951. This may be caused by the fact that the Royal Bengal tiger population has dropped from 40‚000 to 1‚800 in the past ten years and as few as one in every 10‚000 tigers is white (www.cranes.org/whitetiger). White tigers are neither albinos nor a special species. They differ from the normally colored tigers by having blue eyes

When we think of a worldwide catastrophe‚ we usually think of earthquakes‚ ice age‚ and nuclear war. But one that should be recognized with much more severity is poaching. As international editor Richard Swift observed; “We are pushing a hundred species a day‚ four species an hour‚ into evolutionary oblivion”. Hunting and capturing animals has been practiced even before recorded history. Where this can be understandable to most in a survival perspective‚ there are people in this world who abuse this

Endangered species are those that are approaching the inability to reproduce or maintain a sufficient steady state population. They are approaching a bottle neck that without involvement‚ nature will eliminate their existence on earth. Although humans seem to interfere and even initiate this decline of animal population‚ we ourselves are a product of nature‚ and if allowing extinction benefits the overall wellbeing of our species‚ then it is our natural obligation to allow such extinction to take
