     As the two charts show, the world population in 2010 was nearly three times that in 1950, an increase accompanied by the extinction of 30,000 wildlife species during the 60-year period. A correlation is revealed that mankind has exerted a tremendous negative influence on wildlife species.
     Currently, there is widespread concern regarding the previously neglected connection between a growing human population and decreasing wild species. Humankind's increasing need for land due to a rising population inevitably means that there will be competition between humans and wild species. And this is a battle that wildlife is losing and therefore there are more and more endangered species every year with some species dying out.
     The effects of population growth on wildlife species are certain to continue unless drastic changes take place. The silver lining in the dark cloud is that if we take action to protect endangered wild species and their habitats now, mass extinction can be delayed.
