Our population is getting lesser and lesser as time goes by. It has dropped from 300 to 250 individuals. My species is listed in a “report on October 27, 2007 as one of the 25 endangered primates by the Primate Specialist Group of the World Conservation Union's Species Survival Commission and the International Primatological Society, in collaboration with Conservation International” (Nash, 2010, para. 1). There are many factors contributing to our endangerment. First, is the loss of our habitat due to illegal cutting of trees or illegal logging of humans for agriculture expansion (World Wildlife Fund Global, 2014). Well I cannot fully blame human beings for that; they do that for foods for them to survive. It’s just that …show more content…
Hunters and poachers without much hindrance can now go deep into the forest and locate us through the use of roads (World Wildlife Fund Global, 2014). Some people hunt us because our bones are used for traditional medicines, our meat for food, and our fist for collection purposes and to become their pets all because of money (ACF, 2014). I remember San, my best friend. We are almost born at the same time our parents would always tell us. We are from the same group so I know his parents and he knows my parents and that’s why we always see each other. I see him every time I woke up and before I rest at night. We have the same age group so we mingle and get along with each other. We do many things together like eating and playing. Our favorite thing to do is mimicking especially when we try to mimic Gad the one who leads us, my father. We would try to mimic the way he beats his chest and San would actually do the same way as Gad and then we would roll over. Then one day hairless creatures came and get San. Gad and other males tried to protect San but what can chest beats and growl do with things with sharp and shiny edges. I wonder what they did to San. Is he still alive? Just in other groups? Is he fine? I thought we would grow up with each other’s company and when the time comes of having a partner I would spend my life span with him. It’s just sad to think about it but I’m still hoping that one day he would come back and I’ll be waiting for that day
Mariah Rocole APES 8-20-15 Endangered Species Today, 17,000 species are threatened to become extinct. The Pan paniscus more commonly known as the Bonobo, is an endangered species from the African continent. The Bonobo lives in the Congo Basin in Africa.
The world is made up of two classes -- the hunters and the huntees. Lucky you and I are the
Unfortunately, as he got more sick and weak, he was unable to make the trip to the lake with us. All our hearts sank when we realized those were the last memories we would have together in Shawano. He loved it up there, and I can 't imagine exactly how he felt when he knew that was his last time. It has been different ever since then. There seemed to be something missing, Someone missing.
Unfortunately, you saw who he was. Forget Closure. Law, was right there, in front of your sight, pass the window, he never looks a bit hurt, no scars, nothing. He was smiling.
The illegal hunting and trade of primate meat is a large contributing factor to the decline of primate species in the tropics. This, in addition to habitat loss and fragmentation, disease, and the pet trade, is putting many primate species at high risk of extinction. Poverty, population growth, construction of roads, emergence of regional and international markets, and new hunting technology are triggering the increased hunting pressure on forest mammals. Primate species are especially vulnerable to increased hunting pressure because of their slower reproductive cycles. The decline of primate species must be stopped to avoid their extinction and the potential consequences that this could have for tropical forests.
Now, may I ask you something? Have you ever seen a primate wandering in its own habitat peacefully? I bet the answer would be no. In this era of globalisation, many forests have been cut down, both legally and illegally, in the name of development. Yet, what we seem to not acknowledge is the fact that the very forests that have been destroyed to pamper our endless lust to materialistic luxuries is also home to many endangered primates.
Have you ever heard the deafening trumpet of an elephant or witnessed the quick and sudden turns of a cheetah? These natural wonders are merely a fraction of the countless species that compose the complex web of life on Earth. However, the continued presence of these creatures is becoming increasingly jeopardized, as human activities like habitat destruction and poaching are carried out. Enter the wildlife protection community, a network of passionate individuals who devote their efforts to preserving endangered species and their associated habitats. The wildlife protection community is a committed group of individuals who recognize the importance of conserving these creatures and their natural surroundings in order to maintain biodiversity,
The struggle was real for my brother, and I wish I’d had a chance to talk to him before he finally let stress and depression send him to his death. Redd G committed suicide. His kids and nephew found him hanging from a rope in his garage after doing a nine-year bid. Rest in Heaven, my young king.
With the help of many zoos such as San Diego Zoo, decreasing the rate of their extinction is likely. Using its
I know I will never see him or Celeste again. Once you 're taken you are gone. Never to be found again. Not even to be mentioned by anyone after memorial day. They will mean nothing to anyone now.
We are both teenagers living a regular teenage life in our society. Where we live, basically everyone one knows everyone else. Also, we are both strong people. I am strong because of my parents divorce, which I have also learned how to treat people and how not to treat people. I also have learned respect for everyone’s feelings.
There are more than 7,500,000,000 Billion humans on earth. And Two-Thirds of the animal species are being wiped out. IN the past 2 or 3 years 100,000 elephants had been killed, numerous species with once robust populations now condensed to a few thousand, a few hundred or even
If we continue cutting down forests then soon we will no longer have any forests. It is extremely unfortunate how over 50% of the world forests have been cut down. As a result animals are loosing their habituate and species are going extinct. Not only are animals effected but even humans and the rest of the environment. Rain forests and other forests produce most oxygen that we need.
However, he is considered to be the godfather of soul and the king of rhythm and blues. He is also credited to be the progenitor of funk, hard R&B, rap, and soul. Would he have been more or less successful if he did? I feel that his strategy in ceasing his career was effective.
