Big Cats

From lions in Kenya to snow leopards in the Himalaya, the big cats of the world need help. Lions, cheetahs, leopards, jaguars, and other top felines are quickly disappearing, all victims of habitat loss and degradation as well as conflicts with humans.
To address this critical situation, the National Geographic Society has launched the Big Cats Initiative, a comprehensive program that supports on-the-ground conservation projects, education, and economic incentive efforts and a global public-awareness campaign. “We no longer have the luxury of time when it comes to big cats,” says National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Dereck Joubert. “They are in such a downward spiral that if we hesitate now, we will be responsible for extinctions across the globe. They need help to survive because they can't do something but we can change what's happening not only for them but for all the animals that are killed for nothing.

1) What would you do to help the animals ?

2) Why do you think it's important to help them ?

  1. I think that is really important to save these animals because everything and everybody is important if no the food chain will change and it would be a disaster with other animals like imagine lions eat zebras so if there are no more lions there will be zebra overpopulation.

  2. Nice job!
    I totally agree with Dani, and plus, I get so mad when I listen about extintion, because each specie has to have the right to live without worring if they'll be extict. I support the Big Cats Initiation and hope that they have a good response!

  3. I think i would like try to take care of them and sometimes try get them food to eat.

    I think this is important to save the animals, because its going to be kinda boring without them, some things wouldn't be the same if there wasn't animals !
