Love Not Loss
Thousands of animals are in danger; what can YOU do to help?
Do Your Part & stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves!
Animals affected by humans:
Brown Babbler
Fertilizers and pesticides used for human activity have contaminated the food and water needed by Brown Babblers. This caused a serious drop in the population of the bird species but has since found an equilibrium with the decreased use of said pollutants. This proves that much can be gained from stopping negative human interactions!
Hector's Dolphin
Human-made pollutants, habitat loss from industrialization, boat disturbances and fishing nets are killing this rare dolphin species and caused their decreasing population to become endangered!
Dodo Bird
The Dodo Bird has become extinct because of the careless behavior of settlers. Over-hunting and the introduction of new, invasive species to the birds’ island led to the demise of this entire species!
Other animals whose existence has been threatened because of human impact
What we have lost
Should we be having this kind of impact on innocent animals?
Is it right that we have caused entire species to no longer exist?
What we could lose
A rare and unique species of dolphins, Hector's Dolphins have landed a spot on the endangered species list due to various human activity. The main cause in the species decline is the fishery bycatches that catch far more than just small fish for commercial use. Accounting for sixty percent of the deaths in recent years, this is just one of the many ways carelessness and greed of humans negatively impacts the ecosystem.
Is it right that we continue with activities that we know have and will continue to negatively impact the lives of thousands of innocent animals?
If this activity continues we will only have ourselves to blame.
“Each species is a masterpiece, a creation assembled with extreme care and genius.” - Edward O. Wilson
