It is the responsibility of every human being to save array of life on earth. These efforts have brought back several animals from extinctions. However, you may be amazed on seeing the endangered species list. We can get rid of this situation by creating awareness in people. Awareness programs should start from educational levels. We should convey our message about endangered animals for kids. By creating awareness in kids, we can build up the next generation for protecting endangered animals.

Do you know that human interventions have increased the extinction rates by 100 to 1000 folds than natural rate? Studies reveal that around 137 species of plants and animals are lost every day.  Forests are the main dwelling places of plants and animals. Wide varieties of plants and animal species can be found in the forests. By nature’s law, fittest animal survives in harsh conditions. In addition to that, deforestation creates more impact on these animals. This increases the extinction rate of animals. Likewise, animal hunting for collecting their skin is becoming a major cause for endangering of animals.

Creating awareness among people brought immense changes in protecting animals. They realize the need for protecting animals. As a result, several organizations are started throughout the world for preserving animal life. Some of these organizations gave importance to habitat and forest protection. Moreover, captive breeding and setting up of large number of parks helped a lot to solve the problem to an extent. From government’s side, gene banks are started for collecting genes of each of animal species.

These are the lessons that we should study from our past. We should study the impact of destruction of forests and hunting of animals. There is a harmonic between nature and animals. Anti nature behavior of people creates severe problems for both flora and fauna. This mentality of humanity has to be changed. We should know the importance of conserving forests. We should understand that they are the essential part of an ecosystem. If we succeed in conserving the forest, we can prevent the extinction of several species of animals and plants.
