The number of animals that are about to get extinct has been constantly growing over the recent years, meaning the problem still continues to exacerbate. Although there are various reasons for extinction of some animal species, it is believed that both climate change and poaching are the main factors that afflict animal population. Nevertheless, it is the governmental regulation that can serve as an effective measure in order to tackle the issue.
Every year the number of endangered species is steadily rising and climate change is the one to blame. Once notable changes in climate regime have happened, animals become more vulnerable, as the outcome may result in habitat loss. Consequently, the animals subjected to experience climate change are more likely to fall pray and, as a consequence, vanish from the surface of the Planet Earth. Suffice it to cite the case with penguins in Antarctica as a perfect example, depicting animals suffering from adjustments in climate. Not only does instability of climate conditions negatively affect animals’ chances to survive, but also poaching makes negative contribution to dwindling numbers of endangered life creatures. To support this idea, it is enough to recall white tigers in Russia, which ended up with only a few representatives of the group due to illegal hunting.
One of the most powerful ways to resolve the given situation is for the government to impose obligations on protecting endangered species through strict regulations on ecology and enforcement of anti-poaching laws. For example, in Belarus, the European Bison was once close to extinction but through government intervention and conservation efforts, their population has been successfully restored.
To sum up, climate change as well as poaching are two main factors that facilitate animals’ extinction, however by implementing regulatory measures and raising awareness about the importance of preserving wildlife, it is possible to prevent further species loss.
