Book sharing:
In the last few decades, a great deal of species are being forced to migrate, in the hopes of finding an environment which is suitable for their living.
Scientists estimate that 150 to 200 species of plant,
Insect, bird and mammal become extinct every 24 hours.
A mass-extinction -the sixth in the history of the planet is looming. We, human beings, are responsible for the extinction of hundred of animals.
Different species are already going extinct, because of human activities.
The writer urges us to keep in mind that each one of us has the power to change the environment. We all can play a role in preserving species at risk of going extinct.
The book reminds us the importance of environmental protection. Our behaviour affects not only the lives of wild animals, but also our survival on this planet.
