Since more than one thousand years, humans are known to be the first cause of species disappearance. Our world loses approximately four species by year (including animals and plants). In Africa, the situation is worse than most of the others continents.
Because of the technologies’ evolution, the number of factory increased in a lot of country. Because of the Africa’s tropical climate, that continent owns an important biodiversity. Forests are protecting more than 20 millions of people who depend on these to survive. These forests are composed with approximately 400 species of animals, more than 1 000 species of birds and more than 10 000 plants. The African savanna is very important because it creates mostly of the naturals resources. It produces coffee trees, melons, papyrus, sesame and palm oil that are important for the African culture. Some of these plants are even used for medical research.
Africa’s first danger is the extreme exploitation of it natural resources. Trade and climate changes (caused by the new factories around it) are other causes of this danger. Africa is fighting this disaster with the biodiversity convention; it implies that Africa is the only owner of its resources and protects these. It also mentions the obligation of the United States of America to approve project concerning the management of their resources.
In conclusion, Africa is more important for us than mostly of humans known. Its resources are used for medical researches and it gave us a fabulous biodiversity. The industrialization has a bad effect in our ecosystem because it increases the temperature of the earth and it affects forest and biodiversity. So please, not just for us but for humans around the world, we should be cautious and well informed about impacts that our actions is having on our world, the Earth.
