Extinction of Species, Why Should We

Often the media bring news about some endangered species. Mico, manatee and turtle are some animals endangered. But there are many other animals in danger of disappearing forever, as many plants as well.

The science is far from knowing everything about biodiversity, ie, on the set of species and ecosystems that exist on our planet. Even though little information that scientists show, reveal an unbelievable loss and reminds us how much we depend on nature for there to be balance.

The Main causes of species extinction are the actions of man in nature, such as deforestation for urbanization, agriculture or livestock (destroying the natural habitat and breaking the cycle of the food chain); illegal trafficking of species (removal of wild animals for sale the illegal market, many animals die on the way and others are subjected to conditions of poor survival), pollution of rivers and seas also causes loss of species and loss of biodiversity, among others.
