It is a natural process for animal species to become extinct (e.g. dinosaur, dodo…) There is no reason why people should try to prevent this from happening. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

The theory of evolution species is based on a natural process in which the most adapted species survives while the less adapted become extinct due to lack of the proper mechanisms to survive in a specific environment. In cases like this, it is acceptable and understandable that natural laws act, and people should not interfere. However, when human actions extensively impact the animal's habitat leading to its extinction, there isn't any natural process in this case. For a situation like this, I hugely support the idea that people should prevent animal's extinction.
