1000 Flowers for the Planet - #91 Fight to Save Endangered Animals

1000 Flowers for the Planet - #91 Fight to Save Endangered Animals

For the next week I have a guest writer sharing ideas about animals and their treatment. The writer wishes to remain anonymous.

The complete list of endangered animals (including critically endangered, and vulnerable) is simply incomprehensible. And that list is only the animals – not even the plants!
On this planet, we need every single organism, from the tiny single celled amoeba to the largest of elephants. All of them, and us, are meant to work together to form one cohesive chain of nature. Everything contributes to the Earth in some way. If you take out one of these creatures, the chain is broken. So when an animal becomes extinct, even if you don’t hear about it because it’s not something cute and cuddly that people love, the planet is affected in a negative way. As the so-called ‘most intelligent’ creatures on this planet, we as humans have a responsibility to look after the Earth, and make sure each and every creature is nurtured and kept from extinction. As an example very relative to this project – bees. Without bees, we will not survive. So let’s all take heed of this amazing project and care for our planet, and keep all of our wondrous creatures living upon it thriving!
