These causes that mention before are lead to declining the rate of ecotourism economy, lost of animal resources and disturbed the biodiversity. Declining the rate of ecotourism economy is one of the impacts from animal extinction. Ecotourism economy is focusing in the place that can be travel as the places are undisturbed and conserved natural beauty. Most of the ecotourism also contributed a lot of money to the world economy.

Then, the ecotourism economy will be decline and also affected the world economy. Thus, animals are very significant in order to contribute a lot to the worldwide economy. Lost of resources is one of the effects that threat to mankind. A lot of thing that mankind are depending on animals to make life complete and flawless. “Animals parts are treated as raw materials that use in production ommodities or for scientific use” (Animal as Resources 2013).
Mostly medicine and vaccines that salient to the mankind are from animals as resources. These are the evidence that show animals are very significant to mankind. Then, when the animal lost, mankind will not have resources to depend. Mankind for sure cannot live in condition where only meet one species in Homo sapiens kingdom. These animals which are extinct might be brought back by scientist by using cloning method. However, the cloning methods are very dangerous and take long time for production.
Animal extinction can also affect the equilibrium of ecosystem. “Biodiversity simply refers to the number of terrestrial species in the earth’s surface as well as ecosystems” (Chronicle 2008).

The animal that extinct is taking a long time to bring it back in this world. As a conclusion, animal extinction is not something new in our society. The animal species needs to obtain legal protection to make sure the rate of animal extinction decelerate. Conservation efforts should be connected to all mankind in order to conserve endangered animals activities. Mankind have to be aware and take care of these problems besides stop doing illegal and irresponsible activities.
