Lemurs are a type of primate that are native to Madagascar. There are many different species of lemurs and they are all endangered. There are several reasons why lemurs are facing extinction; lemurs are being put at risk by deforestation‚ hunting‚ and climate change (Dunham et al.‚ 2008). Deforestation in Madagascar is especially significant in affecting lemurs.

In correlation‚ the extinctions of North American bats and coral reefs would severely impact other organisms in their ecosystem in any ways. Most recently biologists went to complete their annual bat census only to discover that an abundance of bats were quickly dying off or already

Anywhere a person looks‚ he or she will be confronted with hundreds of forms of advertisement. Some may be silly with a famous celebrity or super creative and eye-catching‚ but then there are those ones that are serious and really make people think.

the s pread of disease; despite these issues‚ many believe that the money made from poaching is more important than the negative consequences. One negative consequence of poaching is that many times poachers kill animals until they become greatly endangered or extinct. This causes some problems in the ecosystems where these animals live. If one animal goes extinct‚ this means less food for the animal that used to eat it as prey. One animal that went extinct is the Western Black Rhinoceros and “In 2011
