Question

World Wildlife Fund (WWF) published a survey in 2008. According to it, about 30% of animal species have become extinct over the period of 35 years (1975 – 2005). What will happen in future if this continues as it is?

Answer 1

According to a WWF report, if 30% of animal species have gone extinct over the last 30 years, it is a very alarming situation. Once flora and fauna are lost, they can never be replenished. If this rate of extinction continues, very few, if any, animal species may remain on Earth. Human beings may then outnumber all other species because of their disregard for nature.
