“Prairie dogs have a significant effect on biological diversity in prairie ecosystems. More than 200 species of wildlife have been associated with prairie dog towns‚ with over 140 species benefitting directly…” (Williams 34). Terry Tempest Williams‚ author of the book “Finding Beauty in a Broken World‚” delivers a strong argument as to why prairie dogs should be protected.

Human occupation of animal’s territory might cause species extinction. Lands are cultivated for human uses‚ which mean animals have fewer places to live. The noise of city life will drive some animals away. Woods will be fallen down for constructions. There will be less food for the animals. In this case‚ the number of animals will decrease steadily as urbanization goes on. Some weak or small species will definitely be doomed to extinction. The global warming is one of the most apparent environmental
