Why is this a problem-
Animal extinction is a big problem because all animals contribute to a part in the world God created and with one species gone the others will lack something they need to survive. as well as the future generations will never get to see the extinct animals.

Actions-
a)
(Bee)- Reduce your carbon footprint. You can do this by using less water in your day as well as trying to live more sustainably.
(Rayan)-we should educate ourselves and others about endangered species and animal extinction so that way we can find a solution.
b)
(Bee)- Try not to purchase products from businesses that are known polluters and that are known to harm the environment.
(Rayan)-make your home wildlife friendly by reducing use of water, feed pets that come by your house and give them some food and secure garbage somewhere so that animals don't eat it or anything.
