Africa's endangered species
Africa is home to many endangered species. These include the Black rhinoceros, Ethiopian wolf, mountain gorilla, the African lion, and the most endangered of them all, the Addax with less than 300 surviving animals. The sad thing is that most of these animals are endangered for the same reasons, loss of habitat and illegal poaching. You have to think that either people are really stupid or they aren't paying attention because poaching and clearing land is one of the leading causes of species death and we are told it's bad yet we keep coming back and doing it again again. It's like repeatedly putting your hand on a hot stove, your told not to do it and it hurts a lot but you decide to do it anyway. I believe the governments of Africa should do something about like crack down on illegal poaching or simply not clearing more farmland. What do you think should be done to stop the animals from dying?
