1 in 4 mammals at risk of extinction, scientists say(CNN)

According to "1 in 4 mammals at risk of extinction, scientists say(CNN)"
Conservationists have taken the first detailed looked at the world’s mammals in more than a decade, and the news isn’t good. The researchers said that one in four species is threatened with extinction and that the population of one in two is declining.

My Reacion:
More and more animals are suffering the crisis of extinction because human beings terribly destroyed their living environments. For instance, the deforestation in the Amazon basin and the Congo area made many species of animals no place to settle down and the source of the food they rely on reduce a lot. As a result, just the same as the analysis done by the researchers, the multiplicity of species on earth is decreasing hastily. Some people may think it has nothing to do with them. Unfortunately, it does have a big influence on anyone of us. Since the shrink of the jungle areas, the function of “the lung of the earth” is not as strong as before. Therefore, much more carbon dioxide will affect the weather, which is called the greenhouse effect. Now, the average temperature on the increase not only affects our mood but also makes some impacts on the environments and the ecosystem. One of the impacts is that the melting ice caps, which strikes the living of polar bears.


As we know today, some animals will not survive and propagate their next generation on account of having no ability to adjust to the alterant environments. If the conditions still go on, people ourselves will eat their own bitter fruit some day. To solve the problems, civil persuasion and civic rights must league together to enforce the substantial issue. What is more significant is that we should think about what kind of a world do you want to pass down to your descendants.(298 words)
