Losing.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, Assalamualaikum and a very good morning to all the

respected judges and my charming beautiful friends. Let me introduce myself,
my name is Muhammad Nour Danny Fatrullah Bin Madrus.

Don't you think that we have lost enough? We have lost rainforests, part of the
ozone layer, most of our natural resources, and now we are going to lose
animals! At least more animals than what we have already lost.

An endangered species is a population of organisms which are at risk of

becoming extinct because they are either few in numbers or threatened by
changing environmental or predation parameters. Animals can get
endangered or extinct naturally, or from human reasons. It can happen
naturally from natural competition, or from natural disasters.

Natural competition is when species compete for food and/or living spaces.
An example of an animal species affected by this is the mussel. Natural
disasters can wipe out or endanger a whole species. An example of an animal
species affected by a natural disaster was the dinosaur. If the theory is true, the
meteor that crashed down to the earth wiped out the whole species.

We have contributed to animals getting endangered too. The pollution that

we create damages many animals' habitats. An example of an animal that
has been affected by our pollution is the sea turtle. Over hunting is also a huge
threat. When people overhunt, they hunt too much of an animal species, so
either not many animals left, or no animals are left at all. Examples of some
over hunted animals are the Bali Tiger and the Atlantic Cod. Clear cutting is
also very dangerous for the animals. It destroys animals' habitats and leaves
them with no place to live. Examples of some animals that have been affected
by clear cutting are the many species in the Amazon rainforest. When huge
corporations cut down sections of the rainforest of the rainforest many animals
lose their homes.

Many organizations such as WWF (World Wildlife Fund) are focused on helping
animals, and the environment. They try to be actively eco-friendly, try to get
the habitats for many endangered plants and animals protected. They do
research on the species, they educate people etc. Zoos also help. They let
many endangered species thrive and reproduce in a healthy and safe
environment. Sometimes the zoo might even let an endangered animal go
back into the wild to try to raise population numbers again.

Not only can the big organizations help, you can too, You can donate money
or you could volunteer or contact your local organization to get involved, or
you could do the simplest thing of all, CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT!

As you can see we have most of the fault in animals getting endangered and
extinct. This is now becoming a global issue, but most people are finally taking
notice. Do you really want more animals disappearing?

That’s all from me. Thank you for being an attentive listeners.
