to protect the environment and the
animals on this planet? Every day thousands of
species are dying out. There are two main causes
of extinction: human activity and natural
elements.
While governments may be unable to control
major 3 changes, which can
quickly destroy whole species, they should
listen to the
4
that many human activities make the
situation worse. And the 5 of this could
be very dangerous for humans.
Human causes of extinction are thought to be
between 100 and 1,000 times more dangerous
than natural causes. Natural homes for many
animals and plants have been lost 6 to human
activity, which has already destroyed or damaged
around 86 percent of the planet’s animal species.
The huge population increase over the last 50
years puts increasing demands on natural
resources. Cutting 7 forests to provide farmland,
wood for our homes and businesses has taken
away the trees which the planet needs to survive.
Much of our planet has also been damaged thanks
to the increasing amount of waste 8
which is left on the land. The 9
caused by poisons in the earth makes it useless for
anything else. We throw away tons of 10
every day and it is destroying the very land we need
in order to survive.
