Why Save Endangered Species? (2024)

Do you want to know why it's important to save endangered species?
In this video I explain some of the main reasons for why we should save endangered species.
This is the second episode of a series called 'Conservation Basics', in which I talk you through some of the key concepts and components of both wildlife biology and wildlife conservation today.
There are of course many reasons for why we should save endangered species, but here I cover what I think are 5 of the most important.

    ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU SAY. Unfortunately zoos use the word Conservation to justify keeping animals, captive with no recourse to them rejoining the eco system.

    With regards to your 5th point, the axolotl comes to mind with their amazing real life superpowers! It’s such a shame they’re wild population numbers are so low. Thanks for highlighting the importance of conservation 💚🤙

    while an environment being destroyed is scary but it's not new there used to be gigantic tree's in early america before and now it's gone while life may have been bad but bugs, animals are still around it's a matter if it will adjust. but i will give it that the changes are unpredictable and can make life harder or just outright worse though if it's short or long worrying about how it affects us currently and not later a few generations i dont find any specific scale other then a domino effect.

    Great video although I think justifying conservation by reference to how it might help humans is dangerous territory. We are not as important as our environment.
