How many animals are in extinction danger? / Cuántas especies hay en peligro de extinción?

The fact that the Spanish King was hunting elephants, made me remember that I wanted to write one day about animal species in extinction danger.
Official international statistics say that there are around 5200 animal species under extinction danger. The human behaviour affects directly on that figures, mainly because of illegal trade and hunting. But we are also affecting in an indirect way with the global warming, deforestation and rivers and oceans pollution.
It is a responsibility of every of us to stop it and change the situation. Life in our planet is on our hands.
In many other posts, I have said that small changes in our daily life, can have an unimaginable effect on the planet. Internet is full of ideas and ways to be better with our HOME. Just google how to be more ecofriendly and you will find a lot of information. Think about it now, we can still change it!

El hecho de que el Rey de España estuviera de caza de elefantes, me hizo recordar que quería hablar de los animales en extinción.
Estadísticas oficiales internacionales dicen que hay alrededor de 5200 especies en peligro. El ser humano afecta directamente en estos datos, principalmente por el comercio ilegal y por la caza. Pero también estamos contribuyendo de una manera indirecta con el calentamiento global, la deforestación y la contaminación de ríos y océanos.

Es nuestra responsabilidad parar esta situación y cambiarla. La vida en nuestro planeta está en nuestras manos. En muchas otras entradas siempre he dicho que pequeños cambios en nuestra vida diaria pueden tener un efecto inimaginable en el planeta. Internet está lleno de ideas para ser mejor con nuestro HOGAR. Si buscáis en google como ser más ecoamigo encontraréis cantidad de información. Pensad ahora sobre ello, todavía estamos a tiempo de cambiar ésto.

Video: Waking up

Investigating on the Internet I have found following video. It is very impressive how it can match our daily actions with effects on our planet. That is something I have already talked about in different posts. As follow explanation by producers:

A man wakes up from a nightmare of a forest in destruction. As he stirs other visions flash before his eyes with his early morning actions. Frustration and anger turn to calm realisation as he slowly wakes up to the fact that his daily actions are connected to the world around him. His experience changes from feeling to realisation, then to positive action, as he transforms his life from being part of a global problem to becoming part of the solution.
Waking Up is a short movie to spread a message about:Environmental Issues, Fair Trade Issues, Animal cruelty, Vegetarianism, Animal Testing, Energy Saving, Drought, Global Warming, Climate change, Poverty, Pollution, Child Labour, Deforestation, Leather Industry, Sweatshops, Waste, Gaia, alternative way of living, making a change.
