"There are a lot of animals that are becoming extinct some because of what we humans are doing, but isn’t that part of evolution? One animal becomes dominant and then those that cannot cope with the domination become extinct. Others evolve so that they can cope with the dominating species?" It's not part of evolution since extinct species can't continue to evolve. It does leave room for new species but is threatening both eco systems and other species as well. A complex eco system takes long time to build up, that's why some of the oldest eco systems on earth are the most diverse. "And why do we have to try and save some animals? Maybe nature is getting rid of them for a reason, such as the dinosaurs." First you say they are disappearing due to human activities then it's somehow nature's fault? Since most predatory species live in equilibrium with their prey they wouldn't cause such massive reduction, that threatens their own food source, because as food was going scarce so would they (the predators). This is evolution and it keep both predators and prey in balance. Any species that evolved the ability to deplete its own food source would be developing an unwanted evolutionary trait. We humans get away with it, for a while longer, since we can switch between food sources and deplete them all. This endangers all the concerned eco systems and their species. Of course, in the grander picture, new species will evolve to take up the available niches.

Simplified is the term used in mathematics.

Simplified is better PR. Easier to understand.

simplified sounds better
reduced sounds like you're denigrating the work you did
