There are many animals that have been hunted to near extinction such as the black rhino. European hunters are the reason these are animals close to extinction. Not only were they being hunted for their horn, it was common for 5 or 6 black rhino’s to be hunted a day for strictly amusement. Hunters are a one of the largest reasons for animal endangerment. Another huge problem reason is the habitat that animals tend to live in is being destroyed on a daily basis. Deforestation is destroying the world’s forests. Animals such as the leopard are losing their home and are becoming endangered. The barn owl is a species at risk in Ontario. These

Now that you know the facts.  How are we going to help the species at risk in Ontario?
  

Do You Know Enough about Species at Risk Ontario Specifically

Have you ever wondered how many little critters exist around you? How many live in your home? Your neighborhood? How are you affected by them? How are they affected by you? What part do you play in their day-to-day life?

  You may be unaware of the creatures around you, but they all need protection from endangerment, from as small as properly disposing of waste, to not feeding wild animals when they are within their natural habitats. As a resident within Ontario, what are we doing to play our part to protect the ones without a voice? Their sorrow may not be as visible as ours, but due to us moving into their habitats and destroying them we need to be considerate of them. Now as a population we are growing and growing we need to find a way of how to save nearly extinct animals

 Endangered animals are one of the biggest concerns we have today. Imagine a world without a soft white fluffy animal brightening up your day. There are people who hunt these animals every day. There are many things you can do to help your favorite animal and people are not aware the endangered species information. You can support these foundations by donating to these charities and helping your favorite animal find a home. Even taking the bus or riding a bike every day instead of driving helps. The CO2 emissions coming out of the car contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer and increase of greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases heat up our planet and are causing the polar ice caps to melt. Polar bears are losing their home and many of these beautiful animals are dying because they do not have a place to live. There are many animals close to extinction. So why not help out our cute and cuddly friends when they are in need of our help.

Speaking of animals close to extinction, your neighbor’s cat has been trying to catch a bird that has recently arrived in your neighborhood.  No one has ever seen this one before in this particular area. An Acadian flycatcher was its last target, however lately you haven’t seen very many of them.  It becomes questionable as to why animals are endangered.  Unsuccessfully the cat had been trying to eat the pretty new song bird for over a month.  After having done some research, you discover that its known as the Canadian Warbler, its home used to be in the forest where the new mall is.  Many other birds had been driven homeless as well including Acadian flycatchers after the majority of your community had ignored the petition ran by the local school in greed of having a new mall in the area which would increase business in the area
