All things must end…
This is the last week for the Global Village blog project. I must say, I’ve learned a lot more about endangered species. While I knew it was a serious problem, I’ll admit to not realizing the extent of the problem. It’s sad. There are so many animals that are dying, and a lot of the causes are because of human interference and hunting. I respect that there are organizations and countries that are trying to do more, but bans and laws will only get so far. Much more needs to be done, and what’s already in place needs to be maintained or improved. The Endangered Species Act is another big concern in the U.S., especially given the state of some of the North American wildlife. While there is a lot of things that I myself can’t do because of inexperience and age, there are plenty of things I can do. I’m seriously contemplating adopting a grey wolf and a tiger and perhaps a few more animals once I get the money. I also plan to buy a bunch of chocolate from the Endangered Species Chocolate Company. Even if it’s only ten percent of the profits that go towards funding endangered species conservation, it’s better than nothing. Hopefully, when I’m older, I’ll be able make enough money to donate more to various organizations since this is a topic that means something to me. After all, once a species is gone, it’s gone for good.
I definitely agree with you that something is better than nothing; like the many euphemisms mimic “it takes one stone to make a wave”. This topic is something that I think will be of continue worry all over the world, and we do need to do something about it.
