Why I Feel It’s Important To Protect The Endangered Species Canada Has To Offer

Endangered animal facts were not something I have always thought about, nor are they something I completely understood once I started hearing like terms.



I am so passionate about this topic and I am so fortunate to have the opportunity to blog about this because it comes straight from the heart. I have always had a huge love for animals since my parents took me to the zoo and African lion safari. Watching a television show with a lemur as the main character; fiction shows with animals as every character such as aardvarks or even penguins. It was natural for me to see a rabbit or a squirrel in my neighborhood as a boy and my eyes lit up simply to be able to ask questions about it since I was so interested. I wanted to know what was in that squirrels mouth and why that rabbit stopped dead in its tracks.

My biggest fear is that youth today are being robbed of the same opportunity I had. Sure I didn't see wild animals, quite frankly I've never even witnessed a Polar Bear live but I don’t think that matters. I know Polar Bears are beautiful and I know they’re intelligent because I had the passion all throughout my different levels of school to learn about them. It’s a true joy to know animals are living and living well no matter their habitat or how close or far I am from them. The endangered species Canada has to offer should be celebrated with care and love from afar. Let them be, leave them alone like you share this earth with them, not like you own it and they are toys.

Do you need articles on endangered species handed to you or will you now go out of your way to grasp the information?

Endangered Species Articles; Polar Bear Edition

A few quick facts on this amazing animal:
·         “Canada is home to two-thirds of the world’s polar bears.” (Mauro, B)
·         “On average, a polar bear needs to eat the equivalent of 43 ringed seals to meet its yearly energy requirements.” (Mauro, B)
·         “Pregnant female polar bears may not eat for up to eight months and may lose as much as 40 per cent of their body mass during this time” (Mauro, B)



This tells me instantly that we as a country have not been as responsible for this species in terms of doing our very best to keep it happy and healthy. There are obviously other factors involved that has brought the Polar bear to be endangered like in various endangered species articles regarding the diminishing population of seals thanks to global warming. As stated above, a polar bear must eat the equivalent of 43 seals to be satisfied for the year. With two-thirds of the Polar Bear population residing in Canada, is it at all possible for our government to maintain this Ontario species at risk?

Is the Polar Bear an endangered species Canada hopes to keep from becoming extinct?
