Some species of animals are almost extinct; and many others seem to be fast approaching a similar risk. What are the reasons for this? What should be done to solve this problem?

It is highly probable that a number of animal species will soon face extinction,

while

others are already on the brink of disappearing altogether. There are several factors contributing to

this

alarming trend, but one stands out as the primary cause: human activity. The most evident cause of

this

is the direct

action

of people.

For example

, we can enumerate activities

such

as hunting, fishing, agriculture or other activities that kill the animals just for leisure or even for feeding. Another reason for extinction is the indirect

action

of human beings, that induces climate change and global warming,

for instance

.

As a result

, the original habitat of these animals is damaged and indirectly it ends up killing several sorts of creatures, eventually forever. One potential solution to address the issue of declining wildlife populations is for governments and public authorities to implement more stringent laws that aim to protect these species.

Such

regulations may include prohibiting hunting and fishing in specific areas and during breeding seasons.

For example

, Brazil has already banned hunting altogether, and fishing is only permitted in designated locations.

Furthermore

, the solution for the second point is much more complex. A potential solution could pass by changes in the current lifestyle and economic model supported by capitalism. The level of consumption in modern societies is not compatible with the protection of the environment. Some palliative measures can be taken, like encouraging the use of electric cars, developing new sources of energy (solar, wind and geothermal), and recycling materials

such

as plastic, glass, and metals. In order to save our planet's precious wildlife, we must take

action

now. The extinction of many animal species is a complex issue that requires the collective effort of all societies and governments. It is up to us to demand that our governments and companies take responsibility for protecting these vulnerable creatures. We have the power to make a difference and ensure that future generations can enjoy the beauty and diversity of our natural world. Let's unite our voices and take

action

to protect our wildlife today.
