Preservation and Conservation for Balance Nature

Extinction threat of animals and plants

Animals and plants interact with each other and also with the environment. Human activities such as illegal logging have done a great deal of destruction and devastation to the environment. Animals and plants lose habitat and result in species extinction as well as increasing the number of endangered species. Therefore, society must play their respective roles in preserving and conserving endangered species.

5.1

Extinction threat of animals and plants

Extinct animals are animals that no longer exist on earth. Animals and plants that are facing extinction are known as endangered species.

	Definition

	Extinction of animals and plants is the disappearance of species or there are no more animals and plants on the earth

Animal extinctions can be identified through fossil discoveries, history and research.

Animals and Plants Threatened With Extinction

Endangered species are those that are declining in number and almost extinct

Animals Threatened With Extinction

Tapir
Pangolin
Turtle
Koala
Panda
Rhinoceros

Dugong
Tiger
Orangutan
Elephants
Gorilla

Activities That Threatened Animals and Plants

Natural disaster	Floods Earthquake Storm
Pollution	Unplanned material disposal Oil spill
Forest Exploration	Forests are explored for development and housing Habitats were destroyed and many living things died
Illegal Hunting	Hunted for flesh, skin, horns and feathers
Logging	Illegal logging

5.2

Importance of mantaining the balance of nature

The balance of nature is very important to ensure the effectiveness of the ecosystem. Therefore, conservation and preservation must be actively carried out and emphasized by the community.

Preservation and Conservation Animals and Plants

	Preservation means maintaining the original state of animals and plants from being destroyed Conservation means restoring animals and plants to their natural state so that they can be enjoyed by future generations

Animals and Plants Preservation Efforts

	Organising campaigns to protect endangered animals and plants Organising campaigns that against logging and illegal hunting Avoid buying products that are made from the body parts of endangered animals Control licences to hunt protected animals Cut only the selected trees

Steps of Conserving Animals and Plants

Replanting trees that are being cut in the logging areas
Establishing animals conservation (rehabilitation) center
