Saving The Species!

So we all need to help save the earths animals. We were asked to answer a few questions. So here are my thoughts... Conserving species can be difficult, expensive, and may force us to sacrifice. This is all so that not just one species may survive, but many will survive. All species are linked in some way either by the food chain or by environmental factors. We try to save the species that mean the most to us. Pandas, whales, elephants, etc., (these animals we are in love with). What is important is whether we are encroaching on their environment, destroying it, or eliminating a food source they need. All species seem to be linked in a particular environment. Remove one and the environment will fail and species will all be threatened. If the species is lost due to a natural evolutionary process no other species will be extremely affected. We are growing as a species and need space for life, food, and profit. Maybe we should think about reducing our species because where ever we are introduced other species die. This is a balancing act we cannot follow. If we do not help conserve the salmon we could effect the growth of trees, the survival of bears and other animals and insect life could be effected.
