Why to save the endangered ?

“Diversity of life and living systems are a necessary condition for human development” 

Since life began on this planet, countless species have come and gone, rendered extinct by naturally changing physical and biological conditions. Since extinction is part of the natural order, and if many other species remain, some people ask: “Why save endangered species? What makes these animals and plants so special that money and effort should be spent to preserve and recover them?” While extinction does occur naturally, unfortunately the accelerating decline of our wild animals and plants is less and less a result of natural events. Most dangers to wildlife are from habitat loss and degradation, environmental pollution, the introduction of exotic (non-native) organisms, and over exploitation; all generally a direct result of human activities.

Many question the importance of maintaining biodiversity in today’s world, where conservation efforts prove costly and time consuming. Species should be saved for “aesthetic and moral justifications; the importance of wild species as providers of products and services essential to human welfare; the value of particular species as indicators of environmental health or as keystone species crucial to the functioning of ecosystems; and the scientific breakthroughs that have come from the study of wild organisms”.In other words, species serve as a source of art and entertainment, provide products such as medicine for human well-being, indicate the welfare of the overall environment and ecosystem, and provided research that resulted in scientific discoveries.
NEED OF SAVING THE ENDANGERED SPECIES

Conserve biodiversity

Influences and supports the survival of other species
Offers opportunities to protect whole landscapes or marine areas

The chemical secrets of most species have yet to be unraveled for potential benefits to mankind.

A planet with high biological diversity is a planet worth living on.
