Endangered Species

We have all seen the adverts in newspapers and on televisions that ask for money each month to help conservation projects around the world, but are these projects worth it or is it too much of an economical struggle??

These are many endangered species in the world at the minute;

· Bengal tigers

· giant pandas

· snow leopards

Just to name 3.

Personally I believe that these creatures should be saved but I know that some people think that it’s a waste of time.

China has poured effort and manpower into saving the Giant Pandas and their efforts have begun to pay off in captivity but there are issues in the wild that humans cannot solve. Pandas apparently don’t want to mate in the wild, is this because those released are to tame or is it something we cannot fix and therefore will confine the Panda to Zoos and Parks.

It is for this reason that many people think that some conservation projects are economical black holes.

When I was little I was all for learning about the world we live in and courtesy of likeminded parents I have been able to see a great many things. I have been to china, to Australia, to America and seen the different eco-systems that occur in various places around those countries. From the garden birds, to the swamps and rainforests of Australia, the Great Barrier Reef and the harsh climates of the American deserts. I still want to see more and someday I will return to my exploration of this world with my girlfriend and certain will provide a similar experience for any children I will have one day.

I grew up watching David Attenbourgh, who at the age he is, still takes a few days trip to the coldest, wettest, hottest, driest places on Earth and narrate many BBC nature programmes. His latest being the narration of Frozen Planet. It is programmes such as these which intend to shows us the whole earth not just the 50 square mile areas that some of us live in our entire lives. They are intending to make us go and seek the wonders of our world for ourselves.

But some of those wonders won’t be there if we don't help the conservation projects of today. Don't you think that everything that we know and are finding out on this planet everyday should be saved so that many furture geneerations can see them too?

So the next time you see an advert to save a tiger or panda. Stop and think, do I want to be able to go to India or China and see them in their own natural environment or shall we just go to the Zoo??

Its your choice, but your children's future.
