Persuasive Essay Why should bring back extinct animals
It is easy to imagine life with the Passenger pigeon, woolly mammoth and etc roaming
around. They all have one thing in common, they’re extinct. In fact, scientists estimate
that 5 billion species have come and gone off this planet. But what if we could bring them
back? What if extinction didn’t have to be a permanent thing? Right now scientists are
using revolutionary new genetic techniques to try to bring back some of these species.

The woolly mammoth is an impressive specimen. It was the king of the tundra for
millions of years. Then it rather suspiciously disappeared around the same time that
humans appeared. Most scientists think it’s likely that they were hunted to extinction.
Most of the species that have gone extinct in recent years are because we destroyed the
habitat, we’ve introduced species, or we’ve killed them outright, like the passenger
pigeons. It was hard to imagine, at the time, that this bird species that are so abundant
could actually be hunted to extinction. But we managed to do that. While it’s normal for
species to die out over time because of evolution or a cataclysmic event some scientists
think the earth is now entering a new age of mass extinction, called the Anthropocene or
Holocene extinction, caused by human. Animals, plants and insects are dying out at a
rate of 1000 to 10000 time faster than ever before, with dozens of species going extinct
every single day. Some scientists estimate that as many as 30 to 50 per cents of
all species could be headed towards extinction by end of the century. But what if
extinction didn't have to be a thing? What if we could bring species back at will?

How do we do it? Woolly mammoth, Passenger pigeon, dodo, and etc are extinct but
these species DNA is still around, in places like museum drawers and buried in the
ground. Today, scientists think de-extinction might be the answer to saving our plant’s
lost biodiversity.

Great work, Nini! Your introduction hooks the audience into your argument well.
ReplyDeleteIt was interesting to read about the Woolly Mammoth and this research.
You can improve your argument by having your body paragraph split into multiple, with each paragraph expanding on a specific idea.
