Do you enjoy
visiting the zoo to see the wonderful, wild animals? Soon, the zoo may be the
only place to see them. Today, thousands of species of beautiful creatures are
close to extinction. How can they be saved? Every country must take action to
help save their endangered animals. Here are some ways.
First,
countries must have stiffer penalties for hurting or killing endangered
animals. Sadly, many endangered animals are prized for their special features.
Some animals are hunted and killed for their fur. Sometimes, they are poached
to make medicines, or even as a delicacy. Governments should make it a severe
crime to kill animals that are nearing extinction. Governments can also ban the
sale of products that are made from these animals. All foods and products
should be closely inspected to guarantee that endangered animals were not
harmed.
Second,
countries must take actions to rebuild the population of their endangered
animals. For some animals, their numbers are already extremely low. For those
threatened animals, countries must create plans and services to boost their
populations. For instance, countries could start a program to breed endangered
animals in zoos. Humans can take care of the offspring until they are ready to
be released in the wild. They can also hire more veterinarians and animal care
providers to take care of the injured animals they find. These steps can aid in
lifting the population of threatened species.
Lastly,
countries must designate wildlife areas and reserves solely for endangered
animals. Because of the growing population of people, land is being taken away
from animals native to those regions. This land is used to make homes, roads,
and buildings. To solve this problem, parks and forests must be made or set
aside exclusively for animals without a home. These areas will give the
endangered animals a safe place to live and breed. Hopefully, providing a safe
haven will help to increase their population.
Rare and
endangered animals are a national treasure. Unfortunately, they are in terrible
danger. Soon, it may become too late to save them. Every country in the world
must do their utmost to protect these valuable, endangered animals.
