Introduction
It was severalyears ago when I listened about endangered animals and/or the extinction of some species by first time.
Long time after I listened again about this sad topic. It is very preoccupying the fact that the media such as radio and TV do not give more information and they don’t give the real importance of be informing constantly to population about these terrible acts of furtive hunters, of the animalkillers and the sellers of exotic species.
Fire and the expansion of places to live humans are reducing the space of a large number of animal species and the vegetation and are causing the demise of valuable species for the conservation of the environment, as we know it.
Although tropical forests may look as though they are lush, they are actually highly susceptible to destruction. This isbecause the soils in which they grow are lacking in nutrients. A forest that was cut down by humans or destroyed by fire it may take Centuries to re-grow, and many of the world's severely threatened animals and plants live in these forests. If the current rate of forest loss continues, huge quantities of plant and animal species will disappear.
We must be aware of these events because our welfaredepends on it.

Big problem
It can be difficult for an individual to recognize the effects that humans have had on specific species. It is hard to identify or predict human effects on individual species and habitats, especially during a human lifetime. But it is quite apparent that human activity has greatly contributed to species endangerment.
All around the world is the same, in everyCountry, State or Town there are people who do not care about the animal life and plants.
Each Country has their own kind of animals, beautiful, cute, ugly, big, small, fat, thin, colorful, black and white, etc.; they can be wild or domesticated.
They use these animals in their daily live to help them to do their duties, as food, as providers of meals or just to be the unique place in the worldthat has a special kind of animal.
Exotic species, however, are intruders. By way of human activities, these species are introduced into new environments, either intentionally or accidentally. The worst of these unintended yet harmful consequences arise when introduced exotic species put native species in jeopardy by preying on them. This can alter the natural habitat and can cause a greatercompetition for food. Species have been biologically introduced to environments all over the world, and the most destructive effects have occurred on islands. Introduced insects, rats, pigs, cats, and other foreign species have actually caused the endangerment and extinction of hundreds of species during the past five centuries.
Domestic animals often transmit the diseases that affect wildpopulations, demonstrating again how human activities lie at the root of most causes of endangerment. Pollution has seriously affected multiple terrestrial and aquatic species, and limited distributions are frequently a consequence of other threats; populations confined to few small areas due to of habitat loss, for example, may be disastrously affected by random factors.

When I saw in the internetall the animals endangered, I thought:“for God, I didn’t know this or that animal”. I cannot imagine in the coming years when I talk to my grandchildren about the amazing animals that once lived in Earth; and they are going to meet them only by photographs, or they will try to draw an image into their minds during our chats. It is going to be hard for them believe that their ancestors had the...
