No single reason can be pointed to as the sole cause of an organism's extinction. Instead, many different factors work together to produce circumstances and situations that result in biological destruction. Hunting, habitat loss, and pollution are great factors that hurt the livelihood of many species, but the final push comes from a reduction in some way of the species' ability to adapt. When an animal has had its home, its food, and its natural defenses taken away from them, it is virtually impossible for them to fight their way back from the edge of extinction alone. They need the help of human beings to rebuild their habitats, restock their populations, and restore their worlds to their natural order. It took many individual acts adding up together to produce the enormity of wildlife destruction on earth today. It will take many individual acts adding up together to reverse that devastation, and restore our world to a brighter, better, more beautiful place.
