I love animals a lot. I think they are real friends and make our life interesting and enjoyable. Domestic animals make us responsible and caring. But I am also crazy about wild animals. They are so independent, graceful and handsome.

Unfortunately today we can not see all the animals have been ever existed. Some of them have died many years ago and we can only see the pictures in the books. And there are animals today that are in danger. Scientists say some of them can disappear even tomorrow. I believe this is happening because of us.

For example everyone knows bisons. These huge and interesting animals today live in reserves and they are protected by conservationists. The weight of an adult bison is about 610 kg. In Russia we have only 600 beings. That’s why today biscuit n and hundred other animals are in a Red Book. Here you can find all species are endangered.

Another endangered animal is dhole. They are dangerous, but still they are part of our world. Also I can mention steller sea lion, Siberian tiger, forest dormouse, Amur leopard and snow leopard. Every year the number of these animals grows. And not only in Russia, but animals of other countries need to be protected.

Scientists say that around 40% of all organisms are likely to become extinct soon.

The reason of extinction is people and our actions. People want to buy and sell teeth, skin, fat of animals. We are also crazy about hunting and fishing. Pollution destroys hundreds species of animals and plants every year all around the world.

We have to think today what we will save for our children and grandchildren. Maybe hares and arctic foxes will be endangered species in 20-50 years, only because now we want to have beautiful clothes made of their skin.
