Endangered Species

Did you know that today 512 species are at risk of extinction. There are 13 species already extinct. About 75% of these species are endangered because of human induced habitat destruction. Many of the species at risk live in the Arctic. The polar ice cap they live on melts by 5% every decade. At this rate the ice cap will be totally gone by 2050.

What you can do is: become a member of P.E.T.A. an organization that protects endangered animals. You can learn more about the endangered animals by going to sites like the world wild life so that you can teach more people about these poor animals.

I hope that I have changed your thoughts about the endangered animals and I hope that you will help this situation. I hope that these animals will be saved!
