Since the world has become industrialized, there has been an increase in the number
of animal species that have either become extinct or have neared extinction. Bengal tigers,
for instance, which once roamed the jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2300
and by the year 2025, their population is estimated to be down to zero. What
is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused
almost entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always interested in
material gain but in personal gratification. This is an example of the callousness that is part
of what is causing the problem of extinction. Animals like the Bengal tiger, as well as other
endangered species, are a valuable part of the world’s ecosystem. International laws
protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival, and the survival of our
planet.
