Interview

Q1.What are the effects of the extinction of a species on other animals?
A: The thing about extinction is that we don't really know what thier benefits were until they're gone, so its pretty hard to say unless the species is already extinct.

Q2. Does it affect food supply?
A: If a predator dies oout, everything below it on the food chain would overpopulate, causing other problems to the environment.

Q3. What about the rest of the environment?
A: It could change evolution, making room for more species which could be a good or bad thing.

Q4. If the exticntion is the result of humans and not natural, can it be potentially dangerous to the ecosystem?
A: Definitely; whatever it is that we do that harms one animal can danger others and can lead to the extinction of those other animals as well.

Q5. Why do you think that recent attempts to save endangered wild cats such as Tigers has failed?
A: It could be that people aren't changing the right things or are aware that there is even a problem to be fixed.

Q6: In your opinion, what do you think is the best way to preserve endangered species?
A: Being completely honest with the public and educating them about the problem, and getting them involved in the solution.

Q7. How important would you say wild cats are to their ecosystem?
A: Very important. They keep everything below them on the food chain from overpopulating which can have serious side effects on the environment.

Q8. Is it our moral responsibility to help endangered species from becoming extinct? Why or why not?
A: It is, if we are doing things to harm them and cause thier extinction, otherwise if its natural, we should let nature take its course.

Q9. Why do you think some people don't want humans to help endangered animals?
A: It could be laziness, or they might be thinking that there's a reason that species is going extinct and that there is no reason to help them live.

Q10. How would the planet benefit from saving endangered species that humans are responsible for killing?
A: It is good for the planet to have such a diversity of animals, that way if a natural disaster wipes some out, there are a variety of others all around.
