We people fear predators, particularly big cats such as the lion, cheetah, and leopard.
We are often taught to fear carnivores without being sympathetic to their unique behaviors,
and special adaptations, and crucial roles in the maintenance of healthy ecosystems.
Our attitude and misreading about these species have lead to their endangerment because a lot of peoples agreement with their fear by eliminates predators.
Endangered species exist in low-population numbers and need intensive long-term management in order to continue to exist
. Attitudes toward predators must be changed if we hope to save endanger species such as the cheetah.
By learning the reasons why species are endangered, we can all learn how healthy ecosystem is crucial and what will occur if we continue to pollute the
environment and demolish habitats.
Through ecological education, we can all work together to change the attitude and behaviors that have led to the endangerment of predator species and help save them from destruction ,
Individuals can make a difference!
