Study: Conservation Slowing Animal Extinctions
Each year there are animals that become more endangered and move closer to becoming extinct. This is really becoming a huge problem with the world today. But fortunatly over 190 nations are working to resolve this problem creating more conservation acts. The fact that nations are protecting the endangered species is very good but its not stopping the downward spiral of a lot of species. Amphibians are moving toward extinction the fastest with mammals close behind and eventually birds. But thankfully there are about 68 species moving away from extinction due to the conservation acts. Most of these species are mammals and birds, which means that we have to focus on amphibians more than we already do. Most species on the endangered list would be moving a lot faster toward extinction if it weren't for these acts. Researchers said that most species would be moving 20% faster to extinction without these acts. But its just not enough to get them off the list.
