"Why is awareness of animals important? From the Amazon to the Arctic and the Congo Basin to the Coral Triangle, animal populations are disappearing at an alarming rate and are facing the risk of becoming extinct. Humans are largely responsible. Construction of homes, buildings, and strain on natural resources for food, clothing, fuel and all the stuff we consume; and the waste we produce - contribute to the main causes of species loss: Water, air and ground pollution Habitat destruction Unsustainable trade Bycatch and irresponsible fishing Climate change Invasive species, species introduced by humans Human encroachment into natural habitats Poaching When a species is listed as endangered or threatened, it is not a death sentence. Conservation can be helped with everyday choices." - Perot Museum of Nature and Science
