Lamenting Flora And Fauna

It is the year 4032 and the human population is larger than it has ever been. The minds of humans have become twisted and their ego has no barrier. Barren lands flooded with garbage, hardly any clean air or water and the only feeling you feel is suffocation. It is time. It is time for them to give the humans what they deserve. Who are they you ask? From the largest to the smallest creatures present on Earth.    

Humans are now responsible for causing changes in the environment that hurt animals and plant species. They take up more space on Earth for their homes and cities. They pollute habitats. They illegally hunt and kill animals. They bring exotic species into habitats. All of these activities take resources and habitats away from plants and animals.

Human activity often changes or destroys the habitats that plants and animals need to survive. Because human populations are growing so fast that animals and plants are disappearing 1000 times faster than they have in the past 65 million years.

Animals and plants have always had a hard time surviving. Scientists estimate that over two thirds of the animals and plants that once lived on Earth are now extinct.

Animals became extinct in the past for a wide variety of reasons. In some cases competition for resources among animals led to extinction in other cases environmental changes caused extinction.
