Many wild animals have become endangered. Why has this happened? What can governments do to stop this from continuing to happen?

A number of species of wild

animals

are now extremely endangered.

For example

, the number of black rhinos has declined from over 65, 000 in the 1960s to merely 2, 500 today. Sea creatures like a number of types of whales

at risk. In

this

essay, I will look at some of the causes of

this

situation. I will

then

move on to consider what

governments

can do to deal with

this

problem.

It is clear that

animals

are dying out

due to

the fact of human activity. People have hunted

animals

for sport or for their fur, horns or other body parts.

For instance

, they hunted tigers for their bones, which were used for medicine. Another reason for species to become extinct is that humans have destroyed their natural habitats. One example of

this

situation is gorillas in the rainforests, which are now endangered.

Finally

, pollution from industry has created problems for many sea creatures.

Governments

can be helpful in several ways. First of all, they need to make strong laws and give punishments for those who hunt illegally.

Next,

they need educational programmes in schools and on television as well to help everyone understand the problem.

Finally

,

governments

should invest in renewable and clean energy sources

such

as solar and wind power. In conclusion, we can say that hunting and damage to the environment are the main threats that

animals

face.

Governments

should use the law, education and clean energy to improve the situation. Everyone must work together to save endangered

animals
