Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become extinct or have
neared extinction has increased. Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the jungles in vast numbers, now
number only about 2, 300. by the year 2025, it is estimated that they will become extinct.
What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused almost entirely
by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always interested in material gain but in personal gratification. This
is an example of extinction. Animals such as the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts of
the worlds ecosystem. International laws protecting for these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival- and the
survival of our planet.
Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways. Some countries, in an effort to
circumvent the problem , have allocated large amounts of land to animals reserves. They then charge admission prices to
help defray the costs of maintaining the park, and they often must also depend on world organizations for support. This
money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols to protect the animals. Another response to the increase in
animal extinction is an international boycott of products made from endangered species. This has had some effect, but
by itself it will not prevent animals from being hunted and killed.
