The effects of animal extinction on our environment

These populations and species going extinct affects the environment because the more animals that die out, the more parts of the life cycle we are losing. We can’t afford to lose such valuable aspects of our lives.Almost all animal deaths are caused by humans so just think of the impact we could have on the world if we protected them. It isn’t that hard and if we all contribute because when more species go extinct it causes a chain like reaction and affects other organisms such as plants and other animals but specifically, it will affect the cleanliness of our air, water, and land which will pollute the environment. We must protect animals so that we can protect the environment.

The chain-like reaction of the animals going extinct causing species predators to go extinct and their prey to become overpopulated and then affects plants, air, land, etc. can cause destruction to some of the relationships that animals have with other organisms. For instance, the symbiotic relationships between plants and animals. Plants often help animals and animals often help plants. Therefore, if the animal isn’t there to provide for the plant, the relationship is gone and the plant will become endangered and maybe extinct because it isn’t getting what it requires. Plants are our previnance of oxygen. We breathe in oxygen and out carbon dioxide and plants breathe in carbon dioxide and out oxygen so if we lose these plants, we lose our source of oxygen. Stunted plant growth affects the quality of habitat. Therefore, by animals going extinct, our environment is being polluted and illness from pollution is a common way to die. It can be incredibly poisonous. So, we must save these critters which will greatly benefit the economy.
