Hurry up!

There are many different kinds of animals everywhere,
some of them which we do not notice or maybe we don't
care at all. Honestly, I'm one of those types, the ones who
doesn't care or even bother about animals but
when we get to study about the animals in Biology,
my perception with animals changed.
I've barned that they're important in this world, even
the little ones.
Back then, the only important for me are the common or
domesticated types of animals like dogs, cats fishes and
the like.
I've just realized that there is some animals
who need most of our help.
The endangered species.
I think, we must act now before it was too late.

A Glimpse of today...A picture of tomorrow...

We have many animal species living in this world.But more than 1000 of these are endangered worldwide. Examples of these endangered species are the Siberian Tiger, the Southern Sea Otter, the snow leopard, and thousands of other animals.
There are many causes of endangerment in this world. There are diseases, pollution, habitat destruction, over exploitation, and illegal hunting! An example of over exploitation is the unrestricted whaling during the 20th century. The whaling industry brought many species of whales to extremely low population sizes.
We have to save these endangered species.Help protect them.Imagine the future generations not even getting a glimpse of today's animals.While we see them right with our own eyes, the future kids could just only stare at these animals from picture books.
Not yet too late.Each of us can do our share.Our shared efforts in protecting the lives of those endangered species will mean treasure awaiting the future generation.

Endangered Species will survive with YOUR help!!!

Spread the word about endangered Species and increase public awareness!!!

Because of Us

Today, many of our species are endangered or even extinct. Do you know why? It is because of us. Because of our own needs. We use them to fulfill it.

At times, we should also be concerned about what will happen if they were endangered or most especially extinct. They were not created for us to kill them. They were created by God for us to be with them in this world. We share this world with them, so that’s not make us superior. Because of us, we make them feel that they are inferior. But that’s not right, we are all equal when we were created by God. God sees all his creations as equal.

So let us stop hunting and killing species. Just because of our needs like power or fame, we hurt other’s feelings. We’re like killing our own family. Because of us they are feeling hurt. Because of us…

Because of Us

Sled dogs, known also as sleigh dogs, sledge dogs or sleddogs are a group of dogs that are used to pull a wheel-less vehicle on runners over snow or ice, by means of harnesses and lines.

Several distinct dog breeds are in common use as sled dogs, although any medium-sized breed may be used to pull a sled. Now they are endagered because of the changes that happens in our climate, as the ice melts it is hard for them to sled.The owners of this dogs chose to tie them rather to use them, this dogs suffer because of global warming, if we can minimize this global warming we can still help these dogs from starvation and sufferings. So lets do our best from saving them,and let us try to realize the importance of this dogs in our lives.

Importance.ü

Why save endangered species? Maybe.. there are some of us who doesn't know their importance. what they bring to our planet. how they help the survival of other species, even us, probably.
As what I've researched and as we all know, plants and animals are responsible for lots of useful medications. they help, not only US (human), but even other species or animals. And they also are a factor of pharmaceutical industry since 40% of prescription today are from natural compounds of different species here on Earth. We still lose 100 species daily, though.
Hmm.. in Ecology, however, they also play a crucial role for they are the foundation of healthy ecosystems. We, humans, depend on them, too. endangerment of these species is a gauge that the health of these ecosystems is about to unravel.
._♥_.
As what we've all learned this year, everything is connected. if species will begin its countdown then sooner or later, we'll all be affected. So, we better start saving them now before it's too late. :)

An Endangered Animal

The African elephant (Loxodonta africana) is the largest living animal and weighs up to 5400 kg. it in habits the Savannah, brush, forest, rivers, valleys and semi-dessert regions of Africa south of the Sahara dessert. Besides it's greater size, it differs from the Asian Elephant in having larger earsand tusks, a sloping forehead, and "two" fingers at the tip of it's trunk, compared to only one in the Asian species. As vegetarians, elephants require much food, sometimes consuming more than 225 kg of plant matter a day. Their trunk is employed to pull branches off trees, uproot grass, pluck fruit and to place food on their mouths. In both sexes, the two incisor teeth of the upper jaw grow to form tusks and it is for the ivory, used at one time in the manufacture of piano keys, billiard balls and other objects that hunters have slaughtered thousands of this magnificent animal.
Think of it this piece of art from GOD is already endangered and maybe in the future will be extinct. Are we humans bothered?! I guess, not. We are just always thinking of our own good. this African elephant didn't harm us and just lives as it was in the past hundred years yet we are harming them.
This animal made history as it is stated above, the largest living land animal. Let us also think that they are free to live in this world... It was endangered now because its incisor teeth which is ivory was used in making piano keys and billiard balls. Why of all materials that we have in this world is used the incisor teeth of this animal?! Is it because it is much better from all other materials?! We never think that if we were in their situation, will be happy?! Of course, NOT!!! Let the animal live as they used to be.
For me I predicted that it is possible that this animal will be extinct in the near future because people are always thinking about themselves. I just want to say to those people who are buying things that are made by this animal STOP BUYING it! because if their are no persons who are buying it their will be no manufacturers. Hope that we humans stop this... In simple ways let us save the endangered animals.

DNA extracted from a extinct animal

Schuster and Miller, working at Penn State's Center for Comparative Genomics and Bioinformatics, and Gilbert, from the Center for Ancient Genetics at the University of Copenhagen, led a team of collaborators that includes a large group of researchers and museum curators from the United States, Russia, Belgium, Denmark, France, Italy, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

This team obtained 10 woolly mammoths' hair.But before this, only seven mitochondrial genomes from extinct animals had been published: four from ancient birds, two from mammoths and one from a mastodon.

A mitochondrial genome is a genetic material of the mitochondria.DNA from bones and muscles is usually contaminated with the DNA from other sources thus limiting it's usefulness in scientific studies.This reason drives them to extract the genetic material from the hair of the organism.

Several of the hair samples investigated were up to 50,000 years old. One of the samples came from the first specimen ever recorded: the so-called Adams mammoth, found in 1799 and dug out of the permafrost between1804 and 1806 by the botanist Michael Adams and members of the Tungus tribe.

Animals have Feelings too, so Respect Them!

And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds . . . let the land produce vegetation, seed-bearing plants and trees that bear fruits with seeds in them according to their various kinds. -Genesis 1:11,24

Our planet Earth is the only living Earth. Many living organisms and species live here not only us human but also the animals. Animals have feelings like us, so let’s respect them, as the way they respect us!

Many evolutions happened in this world and animals are the first one to live here on earth. Animals nowadays are already endangered and much worst they are now extinct! The reason behind why this continue to happen is because we human only care for our sake, we do lots of human activities that causes death to some animals like illegal hunting, deforestation, muro-ami, dynamite fishing, etc.

Illegal hunting is a prohibited act. This causes fatality of animals. This illegal hunters hunt innocent animals in their habitats for their own needs and much worst they sell it for a high price. Pity on animals because even though that some of them are endangered, people still hunting them. Another one is the Muro-Ami. Muro-Ami is is also a banned activity. In this activity many habitats(corals) of aquatic animalsare destroyed. And we all know that corals are very important to this marine species because this is where they reproduce, live etc. If this habitats are destroyed no fishes and if no fishes, there's no sardines,fish fillet,fried tilapia etc. We will also suffer if we continue to do this. Deforestation is also a destroyable act. It is forbidden activity too. In this case many trees(in which where arboreal animals live) will burn, just to build subdivision for us. What a sad thing to hear because it seems like we only care for ourselves. We are not the one who are suffering the consequences when we do wrong acts, but animals are the one suffering. Let's not only think that we are the only living organism living here, think also that animals are living here.

Before, our world has plenty variation of mammals but as ecological succession goes on, these species that was born before us are continuously lessening. We destroyed there habitats and much more we killed them.We should know our limitations in this world. ANIMALS HAVE FEELINGS TOO, SO LET’S RESPECT THEM!

Our Hallow Nature

This big nature gives us light to have more wonderful life.

Our mother nature give us food or anything we need for our daily life.

Without our mother nature we cant live this time.

We cant live a long life.

This meaningful life cant be meaningful without the nature.

Our Nature today is being extinct and we can’t find any solutions how to stop it.

Like the illegal loggers, quarrying, etc. We didn’t know why they not stopping that kind of things to do. I think we must help the nature before they leave us.

But how we can help? So that’s what I am telling to you, find ways to help our nature and preserve it. Think positive, think clearly in our minds that we can help to preserve and keep the nature clean.
