Why does life on land matter? I feel that life on land matters because people aren’t that aware of what we are doing to our earth like extinction. Extinction can happen in many reasons from human activities like overhunting, deforestation, pollution and climate change.

Over hunting can be a problem because animals are being hunted for there meat, clothing, medicine, art and other things. In some places these things are against the law, but many endangered species live in hard to reach places. This makes it hard for law enforcement officers to always know what’s going on all the time.

Deforestation can also play a part in extinction. Deforestation is where people are destroying animals habitats by making houses, farms and many other buildings. They take over forests, deserts and wetlands. This is why many living things are dying out. Plants and animals are losing their habitats altogether.

People burn fossil fuels such as coal to make electricity. Using this to heat our homes and provide light can release carbon dioxide. This is called global warming. Global warming is a part of climate change. Changes in rainfall that leads to floods or droughts which is also a part of climate change. Climate change threatens living things in many ways. It can also play roles in extinction.

Pollution can be a problem as well. Our human activities are affecting living things, like sewage and chemicals can flow down rivers and streams poisoning animals.

In conclusion, I feel that  life on land is important because many animals are being affected by many human activities, again like overhunting, deforestation, pollution and climate change. We all need to be aware of what were doing. We can all make an impact to help.
