Sure, when you watch this video it may make you sad. It might make you want to learn to speak a difficult language. Or to try to get some cultures saved. That is great and all, but, what about the animals. They are being forced out of their homes, their food and resources taken away. This is what is happening to people who are in this video. But since the same thing is happening to some humans,  and cultures, they get this video to help out with the cause. What did the animals get? That is my question, why are humans more important than animals?

Recent studies show that if all the humans in the world died, the world would keep working. The Earth would live on without us. But if any animal, (even an animal as small as a cockroach) went extinct, the world would end. Human’s are completely unimportant in this world. We have no use. So why do most humans think they are better than most animals? It is because humans are selfish, it is in our nature. There are few people in this world that are not very selfish, and even then, they are selfish about some things. Humans are also keen to thinking they are above most things. Animals because we think they are stupid because they can’t speak English. But the truth is, most animals are smarter than us.

In no way am I shooting this video down. It is a fantastic video that is very moving and touching and makes you wonder what you can do to help out. It is a very wonderful and put together video and presentation. But, this is something that should also be said about a video on animal losing their habitats, but most videos on that barely have any views and don’t get any media coverage. So this is something we need to deal with, we have to get habitat loss for animals known. But how, that is the question I ask you. I am challenging you to find the answer to that question and for you to go make a difference.

Animals, such as the Giant Panda, the Chinese Alligator, Tibetan Antelope,  and the South Chinese Tiger are being forced out of their homes. This is a result from people taking their resources, such as food, water, and items necessary for them to live  the way they are supposed to. People take the items they need to live out of selfishness. We take away trees from squirrels to make paper when the squirrels live in trees and need trees to survive. We could recycle our paper, so we can use it again so that we don’t have to cut down quite so many trees. We also use up a lot of the fresh water supply so animals that live in the water, (Freshwater Crocodiles, River Otters, Beavers, etc.) have nowhere to live. A way we can help with that is that we can clean our water and reuse it. We can also stop dumping our bad sewage water into other clean freshwater zones.
