Post #4

Jane Goodall’s excerpt from hope for animals and their world is exceptional and shows how many different ways that our world can be changed for the better. Although our tropical and old-growth forest, woodlands and wet lands, prairies and grasslands, moorlands and deserts are all disappearing at an alarming rate, there is still hope. When Jane talks about her reasons for hope it truly opened my eyes and showed me that there really is a chance for our world after all. These four points consist of; the energy and commitment of informed young people who empowered to act, our extraordinary intellect, the resilience of nature, and the indominitable human sprit. When all these points come together and co-exist it gives our landscape, animals, and plants a second chance just like they deserve.
All of the examples of stories that Jane gives is incredible to show how when true dedication is shown that it is possible to bring a species that is on the brink of extinction back to the endangered list. Even when on the endangered list there is still a risk for them to go extinct and many people wonder why we should even put effort into saving them. As Jane wrote, “it can be very simple; these animals just belong on the land.” Meaning that when looking into the wild u see that we share this land and each and every animal not only deserves to be here but the wild doesn’t look right without them. Another reason why it is important is to protect the biodiversity within every ecosystem. Even the government, that has taken many verbal blows, continues to see the importance of protecting every aspect of every ecosystem. The government supports those who are trying make a difference within our world from big picture(human race) to little picture(micro bacteria). These people are the people of the future and with help and determination they can change our world for the better one animal at a time.
