Question Why should we save wild animals?
Why should humans save wild animals? Why care about the fate of whales, lemurs, orangutangs, or other endangered animals?

(By the way: I'm not proposing that we don't. I'm just curious as to what people will say. )

Because life on our planet is inextricably intertwined, and since we're usually the ones getting species endangered in the first place, the least we could do is try and get the system back into balance.

If you wanna get religious about it, the Bible does say we're supposed to be "good stewards."

We shouldn't save them.

We shouldn't harm our environment in a way that puts them in danger of dying or even dying out in the first place, though.

I don't know how much we can do to save some species. Some scientists, for instance, warn that the African Great Apes will go extinct in the wild within 20 to 50 years. Seems like the African governments who would be responsible for them are too poor, too understaffed and too corrupt to protect the apes from poachers, logging, farmers, and the other threats to them. Their extinction in the wild will be a huge loss to us, in part because we can understand ourselves better by studying them.

For me, it's because, if these animals are endangered, it's usually due to the humans in the first place.

But for lemurs, I say the cuteness factor! (Well, picture it with round ears and a black and white tail!)
