CAUSES I
Reduction of Forest
Deforestation
Forests cover 31% of the land
area on our beautiful earth.
The forests are the shelter of
most of the land animals.
Forest Fires
CAUSES II
Illegal Wildlife trade
2,500 elephants a year
are killed just for…
Only 5,090 tigers are
left living on the earth
Ivory
Tiger fur
CAUSES II
Illegal Wildlife trade
A lot of sharks are
killed just for…
shark fin soup.
Effects
The main effect caused by the
extinction of animals is
Destroying the Balance
of the Biological Chain
The biological chain
is also called the
food chain.
All the animals are
interdependent to
each other including
humans.
Effects
(I)The effect on OTHER SPECIES OF
ANIMALS:
If humans
remove a
species from
the food chain
The predators will die of
starvation, and then,
their predators will die too.
The prey will overpopulate,
and then overkill their prey.
Effects
(II) The effect on ENVIRONMENT:
The extinction of animals may cause the
reduction of forests because the growth of the
plants relies on the animals living in the forest.
And then the decrease of forest will worsen
the Global Warming and Desertification.
Effects
(III) The effect on HUMANs:
Human is a point in the biological chain.
If the balance of the chain is broken,
.

SOLUTIONS
Personal Solutions
Let more people realize and
worry about the problem of
endangered animals.
Not to buy or use the stuff
made of ivory or fur, and not
to eat shark fins.
To reduce the release of CO2
by using the cars as little as
possible or using hybrid cars.
Balanced World
Everything in universe is
going under a balance.
Nature the system should go
under a balance as well.
But humans are
overpopulating, and need
more and more land, food,
resource. We ‘rob’ these
stuff from other creatures
and eventually break the
balance of the nature.
Let’s take the action to create a
PERFECT BALANCED
WOLRD!!
