Species are important to the world, but endangered species should always matter. The ecosystem is run off a food chain. if animals go extinct the entire food chain will be messed up.

Endangered Species and Mammals George Wang-McCown 4-26-13 ISC 211- Terry Shank When discussing the topic of endangered species, more than animals come into play when it comes to endangerment. The destruction of the animal’s natural habitat becomes the biggest problem that comes into play. When the habitat of the animals and plants is taken away from them, they lose their main sources in food, water and shelter. They have adapted to that area and the environment and when we take

Congress passed the Endangered Species Preservation Act in 1966, providing a means for listing native animal species as endangered and giving them limited protection. The Departments of Interior, Agriculture, and Defense were to seek to protect listed species, and, insofar as consistent with their primary purposes, preserve the habitats of such species. The Act also authorized the Service to acquire land as habitat for endangered species. In 1969, Congress amended the Act to provide additional protection

Most animals housed in zoos are not endangered, nor are they being prepared for release into natural habitats. In fact, it is nearly impossible to release captive-bred animals into the wild. A 1994 report by the World Society for the Protection of Animals showed that only 1,200 zoos out of 10,000 worldwide are registered for captive breeding and wildlife conservation. Only 2 percent of the world's threatened or endangered species are registered in breeding programs. Those that are endangered may have

Animal Rights in Medical Research As the declaration of human right states that all human beings are free and equal in dignity and rights. The issue of whether or not to grant animal rights such as those that humans have is greatly disputed over years, but without success. Animal right is an extremely complicated issue that involves the question of animal intellect, animal rights groups, and the pros and cons of granting animals their rights.

However, there are different types of hunting, which include sport hunting, subsistence hunting, and commercial hunting. Because hunting has become more than a source of food, fur, and other products, it has become well regulated to preserve the capacity of the animals in their natural environment. This is a great example of conservation, which includes preserving

Cloning Extinct Animals Over the years, many animals became extinct through changes in the environment or predators. These animals balanced out the environment and the food chain. With them gone, the balance of the ecosystem is off. Cloning could bring them back and change that. “A clone is a genetically identical copy of an organism, and it may be naturally occurring or created in the lab” (Genetics Generation). Scientists should clone extinct animals because it can gives a lot of scientific knowledge
