Endangered Animals








Because of our invasion on wildlife habitats, the world has gone way down hill.

Say that you're on a hill. You suspect that its an easy hill and you can go down pretty easily until you hit a rock (the rock is like our threatening influences on the earth and to the animals). You trip on the rock that you didn't expect and fell on a bug. Not only did you hurt the bug without notice, but gradually you hurt yourself.

Unfortunately, this is what we are doing to the earth. We are hurting animals which is messing up the food chain which eventually hurts us.

Because of our invasion to places such as Hawaii where we first settled in 1843 we brought in alien species (foreign species) into the land. This caused drastic changes to the once tropical Hawaii. Animals such as wild pigs that we brought into the islands killed some of the unique organisms. Even plants such as the banana poka (a common house flower) destroyed plant wildlife by uncontrollably growing immeasurable vines throughout the forests, suffocating plants and blocking the light so that the light cannot reach the other plants.

All because of us coming into places where we shouldn't, where wildlife thrives, more and More animals are becoming endangered and closer to becoming extinct. Thousands of animals are ALREADY endangered. ONLY SO MANY PEOPLE CAN HELP. Give the world a hand. Volunteer and you could even save a whole species with the help of others.
