DISAPPEARING ACTS
At the moment, the world is losing one species of wildlife almost every day. The two main causes of this decline are the destruction of their habitat and over-population by human beings.
Every minute of the day, 20 hectares of tropical rainforest are cut down or burned. Hundreds of wild species - insects and plants - are lost as a result. If it goes on, rainforests could disappear in 50years'time. They are vital in keeping the Earth's climate and environment stable. If they are destroyed, mankind will suffer as well as wildlife.
As cities grow and industry develops around them, pollution becomes another problem for wildlife. Friends of Earth believe that two-thirds of the world's population will be living in urban areas by the year 2025.
Something must be done!
In theory, most countries agree that there should be no trade in endangered species. Ninety-five countries have signed the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild life and Fauna and Flora. The Conventions aims to forbid trade in endangered species and to limit trade in any species whose population is declining fast.
However, in reality trade in endangered species is still big business. People can buy fur coats made from the fur of jaguars, snow leopards and other cats facing extinction.
