Animals in danger


By the year 2030, 25% of all animals, birds, fish and insects can disappear. Why is this happening? Well, there are some three main reasons. The first is pollution. Millions of animals die every year because man has polluted their natural home: food, water, space.

Pollution changes the balance of nature. If one animal, bird or insect disappears, all the rest disappear too, because some plants and animals provide food for other animals. Forests help to regulate water supplies. We all need the help of all living things to maintain chemical balance of the atmosphere.

The second reason is the environment itself. It is becoming smaller. Every year man cuts down more trees, builds more roads and uses more land for farming.

Today, many more animals are in danger not only because man destroys their home, but because man hunts them. Man has always been a hunter. He still is. But many modern hunters don't kill for food- they kill for profit. That's why so many protected animals are still dying. In 1981 there were 15,000 black rhinos in Africa. Today because of illegal hunting, that number is 4,500.

There is only one way to save animals - to protect them.
