Due to human predation wildlife on the decline As dead as the dodo can be said of the moa and the thylacine The great auk and the passenger pigeon the list could go on So many species in danger of extinction or to extinction have gone. As dead as the dodo we have heard that before All around the World Wildlife are endangered on every shore Climate change, habitat destruction and overhunting which is out of control On all species of Wildlife is now taking toll.
