What are the "CONS" of helping endangered species. I need proof any websites? this is driving me crazy

Answer 1

Doing anything requires resources. Does it always make sense using precious resources to save every species? What happened before 1800 if a species was in danger? Who organized and saved it? Maybe millions of species have lived on the earth and disappeared since it was created. If some yellow-orange butterfly is in danger of disappearing, does it make sense for society to spend millions of dollars to save it? It might just be a mutation of some orange butterfly in some other area.

Does it make sense to spend millions of dollars and stop the development of large land areas to prevent something from happening that has happened all the time through out the planets history?

Answer 2

Endangered Species

Endangered Means There Is Still Time.

Hi and welcome to Endangered Species 2000! Currently, there are over 24,000 species that are endangered or threatened by human activities. Unless we do something quickly, they will disappear forever. Without them, Earth's ecosystem may very well crumble. By endangering wildlife, we are endangering ourselves.

Endangered Species

From our start in 1961, WWF has worked to protect endangered species. We're ensuring that the world our children inherit will be home to elephants, tigers, giant pandas, whales and other wildlife species, as well as people.
