Hairy-nosed wombat


Sometimes people don’t care enough about the environment and animals. Industrialization causes a lot of damage to the health of different species and destroys their habitats. That’s one reason why animals can be endangered until they finally disappear.

Hairy-nosed wombats are an example of animals that suffering from consequences of the industrialization. Because of deforestation in the forests of Australia, the wombats’ habitat has been destroyed, but this is not the only cause of their decrease. There are also people who hunt them for their fur to make rope. However to preserve this species, as it’s explained, people can’t hunt them anymore and many of them have been transported to an enclosed environment in Queensland to protect them from being killed by the owners of cattle.

To conclude, there is no certitude that wombats will survive because they are one of the most endangered species. There are not a lot of them still alive. It’s a good reason to take care of them because each species is important in the world.

Marine mammal center


People’s gestures have sometimes consequences on animals’ lives. It’s important that someone take care of those animals. It’s why Marine Mammal Center exists. They take care of elephant seals, sea lions and harbor seals. They are located in Sausalito in California. Since the Mammal Center exists they could save about 50 % of the sick and injured animals which they found on the beach. They save animals which have physical abnormalities because of the toxicity and the absence of food in the water. The objective of this group is to permit to the animal to go back in the ocean as soon as possible. They are released because the vets don’t want that the seals animal become dependent of them. However, when they judge that the creatures are not able to survive of by themselves in the sea after their care, they will kill them by euthanasia. When they are treating those animals they see that the population of our ocean is decreased.
