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

12‚500 B.C.E‚ the domestication of animals and plants first arose. The domestication of animals and plants allowed early humans to manipulate the standard of living and heredity of plants and animals. Domestication took generations to achieve due to understanding the environment they inhabit. Domesticators gained many advantages that they didn’t have when they were hunters and gatherers. Between 7000 B.C.E and 500 B.C.E‚ the domestication of animals and plants in Central and East Asia gave early

take part in high energy sports (football) and animals are able to hunt‚ so lipids act as energy storage. His can also be good because it can provide insulation. Increased body fat levels in winter reduce heat losses to the environment; this is good for wild animals. Also lipids are a source of metabolic water. During respiration stored lipids are metabolised for energy‚ producing water and carbon dioxide‚ so it acts as a buoyancy for aquatic animals. Phospholipids which are a class of lipids form
