THE WILD LIFE

Wild animals (and wild plants) and the wild places where they live are seriously threatened almost

everywhere. One species has become extinct in each year of this century. But many hundreds are now

in danger. Lack of attention would lead to the rapid advance of the process of extinction.

Already many kinds of wild animals has been so reduced in number that their role in the ecosystem is

forgotten. Animals like the great apes, the whales, seals etc. thought to be in danger of extinction.

But even more important, perhaps than individual kinds of animals and plants, whole habitats are in

danger of vanishing: marshes are being drained, and the world forests, especially tropical forests are

being cut down to satisfy man’s needs of timber and paper.

What would our world be like if all the wild animals and wild plants vanished?- Would our life still

exist then?
