The Earth’s biosphere is a tight system.

Animal extinction is not a new ecological phenomenon.

However, extinction is a real danger that threatens many living animal species.

Climate change (according to the US Geological Survey) includes not only global warming but also increased droughts and natural disasters.

The US Council on Foreign Relations reports that an area five times the size of New York City was devastated in the Amazon rainforest in just the first six months of 2022. Animals such as jaguars, sloths

According to the BBC, poaching and trafficking of wildlife products still exists in illegal markets.

Animal extinction doesn’t just mean that humans will no longer be able to admire and enjoy all the incredible biological beauty that the Earth sustains.

Everything has a purpose in ecology.

Biodiversity (according to the Australian Museum) refers to the variety of living organisms.

Columbia Climate School explained the need for biodiversity through the example of the Yellowstone wolf.

Too many elk cause overconsumption of vegetation.

That caused a chain reaction that could not be reversed until wolves were reintroduced in 1995 to restore the needed balance to Yellowstone.

In 2018, Scientific Reports published a study called `Co-extinction destroys planetary life during extreme environmental change`.

This study echoes the chain reaction seen in Yellowstone after it lost so many wolves.

Co-author Corey J. A. Bradshaw described this domino effect as `co-extinction`.

What we need to remember is that although humans tend to become disconnected from nature as cities grow one after another, we still rely on nature for arable land, drinkable water and breathable air.

Wildlife is the source of control over these essential elements for human life.

Furthermore, we cannot forget that the existence of animals also promotes the growth and development of plants.

Another example is that earthworms help make the soil loose and fertile for plants to grow.

In short, the disappearance of animals will create a global biological disaster, not only causing plants to perish but also leading to a narrowing of living land sources, water sources, oxygen sources,… and creating a backlash.
