World Animal Day, designed to combine the efforts of people in the conservation of wildlife on our planet and protect the rights of animals, is celebrated on October 4th. Every day in the world disappear dozens of species of flora and fauna. One way to fight for the preservation of biodiversity on our planet - the protection of rare and endangered species of plants and animals. Natural disasters and changes also affect the animal world. On many birds and animals we know only from literature or through museum exhibits. And for some we can only guess. Along with natural disasters considerable share of the blame in this regard rests with the man himself. There is, however, a "mitigating" circumstance of our predecessors - ignorance. Not everyone knew about the threat of disappearance of certain species. Hunter, shooting game or beast, had no idea that this shot will determine the disappearance of a species on earth.
