More and more animals, plants and species are disappearing and becoming extinct due to rapid environment changes and also, human activities. In which, this leads to sudden drops in the biodiversity of species.
When over-fishing occurs, there might not be sufficient fishes left for the future generations to consume. Therefore, laws are implemented to reduce over-fishing for the the benefit of the people. Vulnerable species like the Arctic fox, Leather-back turtle and Koala are starting to extinct because of the climate changes. The fault partially lies on the people, because of the Carbon Dioxide they produce from factories and car petrol. Too much Carbon Dioxide will lead to the depletion of ozone layer, which eventually causes global warming whereby temperature will increase and cause water level to rise and change the precipitation pattern. Not only carbon dioxide, oil spills that isn't cleared immediately will block oxygen from getting into the ocean, thus not allowing the water species to breath, therefore results in deaths of the species.
In conclusion, I believe that everyone should be more cautious towards the environment and do something about it to reduce the drop in the number of extinctions.
