Habitat Changes
According to UN statistics, 200 animal species become extinct on our planet every day. More and more species are becoming endangered and eventually dying out. Of course, some species become extinct due to natural reasons. However, quite a few wildlife issues are caused by humans.
Humans invade the natural habitat of many species. One of the main reasons for this is the fact that communities need to build roads, grow crops, and dispose of waste. For instance, humans have for a long time used the oceans as a garbage dump.
Seeing marine wildlife becoming endangered is particularly disturbing. Eighty percent of the ocean is unmapped and unexplored, and yet we are continuing to dump waste there at an astonishing rate. That means we may be causing some species we haven’t even discovered yet to become extinct.
