Endangered species are organisms that are at risk of extinction if deliberate efforts are not made to conserve them due to a rapid decrease in their population.
<em>Hence, if a marine biologist writes an article about saving whales and labels them as </em><em>endangered species</em><em>, all efforts should be geared towards saving the animals lest they go extinct and leave a vacuum in the functioning of the ecosystem. Every species have the critical roles they play in the functioning of the ecosystem and the extinction of any particular species represents a loss that might not be replaceable. </em>
Abstract. The use of antibiotics in food animals selects for bacteria resistant to antibiotics used in humans, and these might spread via the food to humans and cause human infection, hence the banning of growth-promoters.
