Endangered Species List
#1
The list is from last year, but it is still valid.
There are a lot of animals on the planet that are in serious danger.

I see a real pattern in what type of species are endangered. There are a lot of sea turtles and marine mammals on the list. Even the marine iguana and some penguins are in danger. That tells us our oceans are in trouble. 
A lot of great apes are in trouble. Different kinds of orangutans, gorillas and bonobos are in danger of extinction.
Large "game" animals, that attract hunters are in trouble. Rhinos and elephants, even hippos are in danger.

When you look at the list you can see our fingerprints all over it. These animals are in trouble because of the actions of humans. If we are not actually killing them directly, we are destroying their habitats. Maybe the list needs to be renamed something like "Animals that humans are in the process of wiping out".
It is closer to the truth isn't it.
