Dangerous or Endangered? Prompt #1 (324 words): Jennifer Tilton in chapter 2 talks about a shift to a “voluntary state.” She goes on to explain that it was caused by a loss in public benefits in Oakland. The state of California had to reduced this budget to compensate for losses elsewhere. The loss in public benefits means nearly no funding for recreation parks and activity centers.

Biodiversity has been on the decline over the past century and the background rate has been mostly accelerated by the humans. Considerable damage has already been done. Possible solutions have been discussed and categorising species according to how in danger they are is one of those solutions. Below are some of the threatened organisms in different continents around the world. TABLE OF CONTENTS Africa Mammals Birds Reptiles Amphibians Fishes Asia Mammals Birds Reptiles
