 Hello to you all! My name is Laura Ashley. I am a zoologist and I work
to preserve and save endangered species, that is animals which are
disappearing from our planet, because of the changes in climate,
hunting, or poaching, and the destruction of their habitat. Do you
know that one of the last male white rhino has just died and here are
some estimates for some very emblematic animals .There are only
about 700 mountain gorillas left, 1,600 giant pandas, between 2,000
and 3,000 Bengal tigers, between 7,000and 10,000 cheetahs , about
130 condors, less than 50 Amur leopards, between 4,000 and 6,600 snow leopards
,about 7,000 orang-utans, 80% of the population of the white shark has disappeared in
less than 15 years, 80% of the population of the Irrawaddy dolphin has disappeared in
the last 50 years. The Chinese dolphin disappeared in 2006, the giant Pinta tortoise in
2012, 50% of the Asian elephants were exterminated in one century. Many species are
nearly extinct in the wild and can only be seen in zoos !!With the ice disappearing at the
poles, polar bears are threatened. Elephants are killed for the ivory of their tusks,
rhinos are killed just for their tusks as well, which are reduced to powder and supposed
to have medical power. Big cats are killed for their fur, or hunted in safaris for fun!
The destruction of big forests leads to the death of many species of animals and plants.
Even the bees are dying massively and don’t forget that if they do disappear, men will
follow soon after. So it is our responsibility and yours as well, you young generations to
do our best to preserve the biodiversity of our planet!!
