xUltimaProductionsx You think only humans made other animals extinct? Stuff like this happens, and has happened, for millions of years by predators. Why else do you think 99. 9% of all species of lifeforms that ever were on Earth are now extinct?
The problem is we've just outcompeted too quickly its coming back at us. But that's nothing special. Wild predators may overhunt too. We and other species just can't adapt quick enough to the changing world it's become hazardous: P Do some thinking.

Actually, that's not true. The Chinese birth rate is 1. 7, which is also below replacement rate. Only the birth rate in India is above replacement rate.
And people aren't having less children because they don't have time- it's because that's how many children people want to have. In poorer countries, people have more children because they often don't have access to birth control, because many children die before reaching adulthood, and because they need many children to support them in old age.

Y'all think the wilderness is heaven and artificial facilities are cruel hell. Why don't you go live in the wilderness then, we barely evolved at all from prehistoric times, so I guess you living in houses are cruel so you should live in branch shacks and starve most of the time, get stung by all kinds of bugs, get parasites in all wild water, get herpes, no dental supplements, and suffer dysentery half the time and get rammed by rhinos and bulls and eaten by lions. You lot don't know the wild

However, an interesting trend is that as countries become more developed, their birth rates go down. In fact, in America and Western Europe, birth rates are below replacement rate (meaning that, without immigration, their populations would be going down. Many scientists studying human population hope and believe that as countries around the world become more developed, their population growth rates will go down. Many estimates predict that population will naturally peak around 10 billion.

weirdo033 the wild is not so easy to define and that too has always been changing over decades, centuries, millennia, and epochs. A zoo is just another environment and they will adapt as long as they survive and reproduce, and there is no perfect adaptation in the wild either. Learn some biology, ecology, and evolution please. There's nothing cruel about having pet dogs and pigs in pens, why would having tigers and such in zoos be cruel?

Many nations have made claims to Antarctica, but these claims are not really recognized internationally. And international waters means that nobody owns it.
Yes, we will probably have to cut down on our own growth if we wish to preserve our own future and the futures of the species we coexist with and rely on. I am confident that we can do that with intelligent, logical leadership and an educated and committed populace.

As previous people said it's sad that we have to use science to preserve this species and it makes me angry about the way people are destroying nature. Ashamed and extremely sad to think what will life be in some decades: (
It's so crucial what they're doing, but I was wondering how will these little babies learn to live in the wild? I mean isn't it cruel to make them live in zoos just so we can have them there?

CrabTastingMan No one said the wilderness is heaven. We live in houses but we can go outside at any time. And humans act more by thought rather than body, animals act more instinctively hunting and roaming free is a need. Obviously they are safe from all kinds of dangers but what makes you think that we have the 'duty' to keep them safe from their natural habitat. Just expressing a thought!

There's a difference though- humans today are causing species to go extinct at 1000 times the background rate due to all other species combined. It is naive to say that nothing has changed because extinction has always happened; we are causing extinction on a historically unprecedented scale.

we truly are doomed if the only thing we can do is take samples and store them in a lab. surely the money would be better spent buying areas of habitat and preserving it for these beautiful animals. other wise where will the animals go when they are born in years to come?
