Speech - Why we should save animals from extinction
Speech Topic: Why we should save animals from extinction
Main point
Personal pronoun
Questions
Introduction:
Why we should save animals from extinction, Imagine if there were no animals alive on earth
and you must be thinking about what will happen. So I'm here to convince you why we should
save animals from extinction. We should save animals from extinction because they're living
things just like us. We shouldn't harm them because if they went extinct, who knows what will
happen.
and you must be thinking about what will happen. So I'm here to convince you why we should
save animals from extinction. We should save animals from extinction because they're living
things just like us. We shouldn't harm them because if they went extinct, who knows what will
happen.
Main point 1:Why we should save the animals
First, if animals go extinct we and the world would be changed mainly by climate change and
extinction. I mean like what would be the point about having zoos if all the animals were extinct?
Giant pandas first became endangered in 1990 due to excessive poaching in the 80s and
deforestation, depleting their bamboo food source. Bamboo can grow extensively in
mountainous or barren lands but then die in the winter because it's too cold for the bamboo to
continue growing and survive. This forces giant pandas in those areas to relocate for their food.
I think this is super good/bad/unfair/…Disgraceful(bad)/Amazing(good)/discriminatory
(unfair) and
extinction. I mean like what would be the point about having zoos if all the animals were extinct?

imagine if this was you,now do you know how it feels? The wildlife caregivers are important
because they are doing all they can to save these different species of animals, this is crucial to
the wildlife and us.

the wildlife and us.
Main point 2:What will happen
For my second point, I will inform you of what would happen if our animals went extinct.
Wild forests and grasslands would die because they are adapted to rely on animal decomposers.
This would cause a loss of rainfall, atmospheric change and climate change. This is important
because grasslands and wild forest are where we get supplies from and where native things live.
Climate change is super important because Climate change can be thought of as the average or
typical weather conditions we experience. Scientists know that climate varies naturally on
many timescales and they know that people are affecting climate - particularly through e
missions of greenhouse gases. If a species has a unique function in its ecosystem, its loss can
prompt cascading effects through the food chain. You may wonder about the environment we
are in. It would be critical because our air and plants would be polluted and we would be
breathing in a huge amount of contaminated air!

Main point 3:Why it is important
It is important to save animals as healthy ecosystems depend on plant and animal species as
their foundations. Without healthy forests, grasslands, rivers, oceans and other ecosystems we
will not have clean air, water, or land. If we allow our environment to become infected we're
risking our own health. It is really important to keep these animals alive because when we
conserve and protect the natural habitat of wildlife species, we enrich our planet. To do so,
we must keep the animals in their natural place. Natural habitats will also be beneficial for
humans since it helps keep the essential watersheds intact and ensures clean, freshwater and
that's why it's important to save animals from extinction.

Conclusion: Now you know why you should save animals from extinction. I personally think that
animals shouldn’t be extinct. As I said, there are just living things like us and they should be
protected. Why would you want animals to go extinct anyways?
