Species extinction

• Any species that is unable to survive or
  reproduce in their environment, and that it can
  not move to another new environment, dies and is
  extinct.
• The main animals in danger of extinction are
  Panda, Koala, The Puma, The Gorilla, The lynx,
  The condor, the polar bear and the tiger.
• Causes
• Humans can cause the extinction of a species due
  to overexploitation of an environment, pollution,
  habitat destruction...

Habitat destruction

• The agriculture is the principal cause of
  habitat destruction. Other important causes of
  habitat destruction include mining and logging.
  Habitat destruction is currently as the primary
  cause of species extinction worldwide.
• The habitat destruction cause the death of the
  animals avoiding to reproduce (extincted
  species).

Invasive Species

• Invasive species are animals, plants or other
  organisms introduced by humans in places outside
  their area and have managed to settle into their
  new habitat where they are harmful. Some invasive
  species are
• The European rabbit A few couples were
  introduced in Australia, and today is the
  greatest plague of the country.

  Today has been at the red squirrel to the brink
  of extinction in the British Isles.

• Invasive species cause different impacts. Are
  distinguished
• Biodiversity loss.
• Economic losses due to damage generated in the
  production of crops and livestock.
• And exotic diseases.

Poaching

• Poaching is illegal hunting or fishing, it maybe
  illegal because
• Hunting or fishing off-season established by law.

Protected areas

• Protected areas are locations which receive
  protection because of natural, ecological and/or
  cultural values.
• Protected areas are essential for biodiversity
  conservation.
• Today they are often the only hope we have of
  stopping many threatened or endemic species from
  becoming extinct.

17
Other information

• In the future these areas will grow in number and
  in importance, as the Nature Conservation Act
  states that nature conservation programmes can be
  realised as smaller protected areas.

Our personal opinion

• Floren From my point of view I think the issues
  we have discussed are important and we should
  think more to improve all the problems that cause
  the extinction of animals and problems with the
  environment.
• Lorena In my opinion I think we would have to
  take better care of the environment and caring
  for animals. And meet the established laws that
  defend this matter.
