Extinction is forever


Although the disappearance of a species could take place naturally and has indeed happened ever since the appearance of life on earth, the problem we are facing today is that extinctions are occurring at a very fast rate and in a very unnatural way. This situation is due to over exploitation of the resources by human beings.

Oryx leucoryx
the arabian oryx has disappeared completely from Egypt but could still be found in Arabia.
