Blog Post No. 6 Enviromental issues: Overhunting

                There are a lot of enviromental issues around the globe, most of them caused by us, the people. One of these is the overhunting a practice that must be stopped before we regret it.

                The excessive hunting in the course of the last decade has damaged the variety of species all over the planet. Some of animals that have gone completely extinct are for example the black rhino or the clouded leopard. A different group that have not been deleted from the planet, are those that are endangered, which, if not carefully protected, will desappear and join the previously mencioned group. A well known exemplification of these, are the buck, and the condor. There are more examples like the african elephant. So thanks to the non decreasing hunt of animals, the diversity of these has been distrubed in a way that can not be fixed.

                The opportunities to save the endangered species are available, but just if the people take measures. Now a days it exist a demand for exravagant items to adquire like furs or ivory. To this kind of purchasers there is a big producer: the black market. If the authorities really care about the well-being of the wild nature, more money should be invested in affiliations to protect the animals. In Africa there are plenty of these asociations who hire people to make guard and guard against hunters.

The right things to protect the threatened species are at the reach of the hand, we only have to take action.

                The excessive hunting must be ceased in order to take care of the endangered species.
