BECAUSE OF US!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We pollute the water, we destruct the land, we pollute the air (amphibians are declining theory because of Global Warming) We poach and collect endangered species, I could go on and on. Yes there are too many, there will be many more in the next ten years, and the saddest part of all, in the next ten years we%26#039;ll probably lose a few things forever (extinction).

• Rapid urbanization and and population growth have caused too many reclamation of land for our own use. We have already intruded most of these creatures%26#039; natural habitat,which in turn have displaced these animals and affected their natural way of survival. In other words, humans are getting too close for their comfort. 0% 0 Votes
• Since we cut down trees and pollute the air it destroys the environment as well as the animals. But do we have a choice? If we stopped polluting the air and cutting down trees, what would we be? people want to save the environment, but it%26#039;s not enough to save all animals. 11% 1 Vote
• because our society is igonorant of how fragile ecosystems are. Also we tend to over consume until a creature is wiped off the face of the earth, almost happend to the buffalo and the whales. Deforestation and the polar ice caps are going to threaten thousands of species, not enough people care though...

• There is a huge global crisis called Global Warming going on that still many don%26#039;t believe. All over the earth there have been massive hurricanes, destruction of environments, caused by pollution, and also war. Nuclear war is a big contribute to Global Warming and this smoke affects the sun%26#039;s layers which allows more of the Sun%26#039;s harmful rays to hit the earth. Now many polar species are going extinct. Many polar bears drown while searching for food.
  
  The destruction of many of the world%26#039;s forests are a huge contributor to endangered species. Many animals are losing their homes, therefore they can%26#039;t survive.
  
  There are many hunters all over the world and are many poachers in Africa. In Africa, Ivory, skins, and fur are part of many religions there fore many animals are hunted down.
  
  These are the main results of loss of species. We can help save the environment and many of the species. We can all make this world a better place for all the animals, who are just like us. 0% 0 Votes

• You really want to know why? I%26#039;ll tell you. The numbers are inflated by eco terrorist. Take the polar bear for example. Their population is now at an all time high in recorded history (about 150 years). Despite this these groups are trying to strong arm the US gov%26#039;t to place them on the endangered species list. What this does is make the list useless and no one really knows which species is endangered and which ones are not.
  Another fact is that not one single species is on the list because of global warming. ALL the so called facts on global warming have been debunked. ALL reputable scientists will admit that global warming was the invention of Al Gore. Although it so far has not gotten him what he really was after it was an ingenious invention in that it it made and his family rich for generations. The latest news debunking global warming was the discovery of a huge volcano under the Earth in Antartica. Sorry can%26#039;t blame the 2% area of declining ice sheets on global
  warming anymore. Hurry think quick to invent something else to support your hoax!
