The extinction of animal species is a natural process that has occurred continuously over the

course of Earth's history. However, the mass extinctions evident today are clearly not part of
that process. It is clear that governments need to take urgent measures to ensure that
endangered animal species are protected.

First and foremost, governments should take steps both to restore and to protect the natural
habitats of endangered animals. Many of these habitats are being destroyed at an alarming rate
by human activity. We cannot expect to save species from extinction if we don’t preserve the
natural habitats in which they live. Governments globally must protect places of special natural
interest against human interference. This can best be achieved through the creation of wildlife
reserves and sanctuaries that are protected by law.

Furthermore, the introduction of stricter hunting regulations is a very important part of the
solution. Many endangered species, for instance tigers, elephants or seals are ruthlessly
slaughtered for their body parts. It would be a good idea for governments to ensure that the law
is used to punish those who hunt animals that are on the brink of extinction. In addition, laws
that prohibit the buying and selling of products from endangered species must also be passed.

On balance, although both measures are necessary, I personally consider establishing wildlife
reserves and sanctuaries a priority. Apart from safeguarding threatened species, these reserves
also protect the natural habitats in which they live. They, therefore, ensure the preservation of
whole ecosystems, which are of value to us because of their unique and irreplaceable
biodiversity.
