Why bother with Endangered Species?
The very notion of protecting "endangered" species goes against nature. If they can not adapt and evolve to the world they live in then they no longer are fit for survival. Look at Pandas, they absolutely refuse to -blam!- and repopulate. Why should we bother trying to help a species that doesn't care about themselves?

1 回复If we don't "save" them, then the ecological environment may be affected. Not all animals are equipped to consume everything.

The thing is most of them are endangered because of us. Polar Bears are losing ice and are drowning cause of us. Tigers are getting hunted down because of us. Your idea of if the animals can not adapt then they are not fit is true. But it's also true that we as humans could wipe them out regardless. I think it's far for them to at least get killed off on an even playing field until they evolve enough to the point where they can stand a chance against humans.

7 回复To maintain a certain grade of biodiversity. Yes, species die out eventually, but the current rate of animal extinction is relatively high thanks to human encroachment and agricultural monocultures that have replaced regional varieties. Do you want to live in a world that only has humans, cats, dogs, cows and pigeons?

14 回复Because tigers can totally adapt to the guns the hunters are using in a space of a little over a hundred years right?

4 回复Many people have already stated valid reasons. Preservation OP, preservation. You'll miss something once it's gone.

10 回复Because when you eliminate an animal from its ecosystem, it throws everything off. Derp.

It's because in many cases of endangered species, we are to blame. If they became endangered naturally, you'd be right to not intervene and let them die out. However, for Polar bears, whales, white tigers, rhinos, elephants and countless other animals, we caused their demise in many ways (global warming, hunting for delicacies, skins or ivory) We're responsible for nearly killing them off, so we should be responsible for at least keeping the remaining ones alive.

The rate at which we are eliminating these endangered species is too fast for them to adapt. Adaptation and evolution is a long process, a process which is not suited for global warming, deforestation or poaching. We as a species, have a responsibility to intervene, considering we started this all.
