In the globalisation world today, the issue of extinction of animals has not been very popular to be dicussed of.The lack of attention taken to this issue has made the animals population be at the verge of extinction.Most of us act ignorantly towards this plight since we believe that there sure would be authorities or any other people that would take care of this problem.However,most of us do not realise that basically, mankind is the main culprit that has caused the problem of extinction.In order to solve this problem of extinction of animal species,let us know the causes of extinction.Then, we should go deeper into this issue and come out with brilliant ideas on how to provide public awareness regarding to this topic.
There are a lot of causes that has lead to the extinct of animal species throughout the decades. The main factor is through habitat loss especially in rainforests.The status quo shows that rainforests are cleared for wood,timber resources and cash-crop plantation.The habitat loss has made the larger,wide-ranging species,such as large carnivores suffer first. Since these groups often contribute to healthy ecosystem processes, a wave of secondary losses may follow their decline.Besides that, the national and international wildlife trade is another common threat.Fur trade,as an example, was very popular in the 1960's where the pelts of more than 10,000 leopards,15000 jaguars,3000 cheetahs and 200,000 ocelots were being imported legally in the United States and Europe each year.Although this activity is virtually non-existent now but it would have contributed to animal demise during its peak period.According to the Islam perspective too, it is forbidden for the soldiers to kill woman,children and even animals during war,and why is it so?Basically it is because Islam does not allow its people to harm animals and be cruel to them for mankind purposes.This goes the same for people who continues to poach and hunt for animals.You should have the concern towards the creatures that you are killing and torturing.Global warming is also categorized as other causes of extinction.It has been recently suggested that warmer global temperatures may be affecting animals in different ways.Polar bears have become"poster children" for the melting of Arctic due to climate change.Melting ice reduces the ability of polar bears to find enough food as they prefer to use ice as a platform to hunt for prey.
Every problem has its own solution. So does this issue. There are several ways to create awareness of the extinction of animals in the mankind.Firstly, we can join one of the organizations that promotes to the prevention and conservation of animals such as the World Wild Fund(WWF). This organization is a non-governmental organisation that helps in protecting the endangered animals from being extinct. The act of becoming a member of this organisation will create awareness towards this severe problem.Furthermore, we should not buy products made from animals including its fur,skin,horn and so on so forth. This is because many animals are in endangered condition as they have been hunted for their fur in order to make fur coats and other products.This situation should not be continuing any longer.Moreover, we should start buying recycled papers and yet make ourselves used to implementing the idea of recycling in our lives in order to help conserve the forest. This ensures the trees from being cut down which results in the destroying of the habitat for millions of species of animals. As a consequence, the animals population would decrease in number and at last face the problems of extinction.
To put it laconically, the extinction of animals is mainly caused by the human beings. We should have a high level of awareness towards this issue since we are the ones who are supposed to protect these animals from suffering extinction.It is also our responsibility as Muslims to care for the problem thus prevent this problem from getting worst still. Therefore, strict actions should be taken to those who have "contributed" to the extinction of animal species.So what are we waiting for?Let's stop these animals from being extinct!!
