Poaching


 Each year more and more animals are killed and sold on the black market. We need to find a way to stop this from happening. No only is it illegal but it is killing off the animal population. We need to stop this as soon as we can. I believe that if this keeps up then more and more animals are going to become extinct.

Are We Poisoning The Sea?


Everyday we poison the sea with toxic waste. We destroy habitats by putting trash, chemicals, oil, and many other things into our seas, lakes, and ponds. When we do this we not only put the wildlife living in these habitats in danger but ourselves as well. These chemicals are not good for us or animals. The toxic chemicals enter our bodies and can cause damage. Humans are affected with a range of symptoms including skin irritation, stomach cramps, vomiting, nausea, diarrhoea, fever, sore throat, headache, muscle and joint pain, blisters of the mouth and liver damage. Animals, birds, and fish are all being affected by this as well.
