Part IX READING

Exercise 1:

By the year 2025, the Earth could lose as many as one fifth of all species known to exist today In recent centuries,hundreds of species have disappeared, almost always as a result of human activities The passenger pigeon, one familiarexample, was a source of food until excessive hunting and habitat loss caused its extinction in 1914 The North Americanbison, whose populations were decimated by settlers and market hunters in the 1800s, came close to sharing the same fate.Bison survive today only because of the efforts of early conservationists

Today, species require such efforts more urgently than ever An essential task that falls to present-dayconservationists is to determine which species are most, endangered, so that conservation resources' can be applied whereaction is needed most Species are categorized by the degree to which their survival in the wild is threatened WorldWildlife Fund offers a sampling of animals and plants that fall mainly within the two most serious categories of- threat:critically endangered and endangered What threatens these species' existence? Some of the top threats are habitatdestruction by unsustainable logging and ever-encroaching human settlement; pollution of water, soil, and air by toxicchemicals; unnatural climate changes due to fossil fuel use; unmanaged fishing that exhausts fish stocks; and illegalhunting to supply the demand for skins, hides, traditional medicines, food, and tourist souvenirs The list whichconservationists presents only a fraction of the species at risk of extinction today and does not include thousands ofspecies whose status we do not yet know Hundreds of species without common names have been left out, which meansthat while many mammals are on this list, only a few insects and mollusks are included

Species listed here range from the largest animal on Earth, the blue whale, to the majestic tiger, to the humble shell pond snail Large or small, beautiful or ugly, all species play a role in the complex circle of life All of us depend onthe natural resources of our planet Each time a species is lost, the complexity, natural balance, and beauty of our world isdiminished And what threatens plants and animals ultimately threatens people as well
