The Last of Us

                Thanks to humans and our ways of destroying the beautiful world we live in, many species are becoming extinct at a wild rate. I have talked about this in a lot of other posts like save the polar bears and Ivory were we humans are affecting and killing off species and animals. We have been destroying habitats and turning many species towards extinction.

                Some species we have lost are truly amazing and were heartbreaking to lose. The Tasmanian Tiger is a prime example. As it was hunted on its remote island, it vanished almost 100 years ago. These animals where amazing and we must work to preserve some cool species like the Tasmanian tiger (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thylacine) from being wiped off the face of the earth. I would have loved to have seen these animals today but without proper care and support when needed, these creatures died out and there is no way to bring them back.

                Pandas are an example of a species that was extremely endangered and has now be restored through zoos and other places of care where humans look after the animals. It is a way to preserve these few animals we have left. Research, preservation and cute animal videos are some examples of the things these havens can give to humans. Pandas are now slowly increasing their numbers in safety with video cameras watching their every movement, making sure they are safe and cute.

                This week, one of the last few Northern White Rhinos has died. He had a quite short life for a Rhino and researchers aren’t sure why. There is now only 1 male left in this dying species. Things like this cannot happen, when the balance of a species is at stake, extreme measures must be taken to protect and preserve something we almost destroyed through hunting and poaching.  Nurturing and caring for these few animals are like a helping your sons or daughters get back on their feet. You have got to give them some motivation and protection until they finally become able to sustain themselves on their own. Let these majestic rhinos have some peace and reproduce until they have enough numbers and strength to go back out into the wild as they were before. Today the San Diego Zoo is taking care of the last hope for this spices, a pair of 2 of the 6 remaining rhino alive and are the new hope for these nearly extinct rhinos. Although the progress will be extremely slow, rhinos could regroup and become the species they once were without the hunting of their beautiful horns and environmental changes.
