Endangered Species
The pollution of air and the world’s ocean, destruction of the ozone layer is the result of man’s careless interaction with nature. All this can destroy natural habitats for plants and animals. Trade and population growth play their part as well.
As a result a lot of species are in danger and a number of rare species of animals, birds, fish and plants have disappeared forever. When a plant or an animal is gone forever we say it is extinct. It is estimated that one species-plant, animal or insect – becomes extinct every day. At that rate, within the next 20 years one-fifth of all species could be extinct. The delicate balance of nature, the very existence of life on Earth is being upset.
The Energy Trap
It’s the industrial countries that use most of the world’s fuel. As industrialization continues to increase and world populations continue to grow, the demand for energy will grow too. No one can be absolutely certain, but scientists predict that the non-renewable fuels we now use for our energy needs will run out within the following time spans: oil – in about 50 years, natural gas – in about 50 years, coal – in about 300 years, nuclear fuel: in about 60 years. Prices will rise. And as we burn away our fossil fuel resources, we’ll continue to add to the pollution of our environment.
