Society should make efforts to save endangered species only if the potential extinction of those species is the result of human activities. [Specific Task Instruction: Write a response in which you discuss your views on the policy and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider the possible consequences of implementing the policy and explain how these consequences shape your position.]

只有当可能灭绝的那些物种是因为人类活动才会灭绝的时候，社会才应该努力去挽救濒危物种。[说明：写一篇文章，讨论你对于这个政策的观点，并解释你选择这个观点的理由。在展开和支持你的观点时，你需要考虑这个政策生效以后可能带来的结果，并解释这些结果如何支持了你的观点]

本题类似于老GRE的ISSUE121"At various times in the geological past, many species have become extinct as a result of natural, rather than human, processes. Thus, there is no justification for society to make extraordinary efforts, especially at a great cost in money and jobs, to save endangered species"。题目并不是要你阐述人类活动是否影响了物种灭绝，而是要阐述人类是否应该花费大量的人力物力来拯救濒危物种。因此，你可以考虑“无论是否是人类活动影响了物种灭绝，我们都应该（不应该）……”这样的思路。

1. 你知道哪些濒危物种？如果他们灭绝，会对人类造成影响么？如果会，那么是什么影响？
回答：
藏羚羊、白鳍豚、大熊猫。会。生态是平衡的，灭绝的动物都是生态链上重要一环，它们的损失会影响人类身体健康并造成生存环境的改变。 ? 这些物种所在的食物链被破坏，从而使得生态系统的稳定性受到威胁，人类生存环境的稳定性势必受到威胁；同时，一些依靠这些物种开展的工业和医药业研究，也将受到影响，那么也会削弱人类经济的发展；而且有些物种可能已经在地球上存活树千、数万年，他们见证了人类社会的发展与成长，这种永远的消失，也意味一种文化的消亡。
2. 在网上查查看，人类为了保护某种濒危物种，大约需要花费多少人力物力？给出具体的数据和例子。
回答：
人类为了保护濒危物种，每年都要投入大量的人力和物力。比如，中国的国宝大熊猫，已受到了世界人民的保护，每年的投入更是惊人。如：美国佐治亚州的亚特兰大动物园，1999年获赠中国的两只大熊猫，据相关报道了解到，为保护这这对大熊猫在美国的正常生活，每年动物园都要在其日常起居上投入数百万美元，并且需要安排5人左右照顾它们和5人左右进行竹子的采集等
3. 物种灭绝会带来哪些问题，这些问题有什么解决方案？是否需要花费大量的人力和物力？
回答：
破坏生物链，严重影响其他物种的生存。对于和人类影响密切相关的以及用人类活动造成的影响，应该尽力保护
4. 如果把拯救濒危物种的钱和人力等花在别的地方，你认为可以对人类做出哪些贡献？尤其是，这些贡献是否可以消除物种灭绝带来的影响？
回答：
贡献：提高经济发展速度，增强经济发展水平。提高就业率。各种贡献都可以。不能消除物种灭绝的影响
5. 人类的拯救行为效果如何？请举例说明。
回答：
人类通过颁布相关动植物保护法，建立动物自然保护区、植物园，投入大规模保护濒危物种的宣传和教育，已使大量濒危物种得到保护，其中许多动植物已在人工作用下成功繁育，从而使得濒危物种在数量上的减少得到一定的控制。比如：美国对于曾一度濒临灭绝的国鸟——秃头鹰的保护就是十分有效的。由于人为和自然的原因，1978年时秃头鹰似乎已走向灭绝的边缘，不过经美国民众以及各种组织近40年的保护，现在的秃头鹰已不再是濒危物种

What is the limit of our responsibility to protect endangered animals?This statement involves morality,conscience and self-protection.On balance,however,in my view we humans should try to save endangered animals whether their potential extinction are results of human activities.
As I see it,there are three fundamental arguments for imposing us at least some responsibilities to protect endangered species.The first argument has to do culpability.According to this argument,to the extent that the endangerment is result of anthropogenic events such as deforestation and nuclear pollution,we should take some affirmative measures to save endangered species whose survival we have place in jeopardy.
The second has to do with the research values of these species.The endangered animals have a significant meaning for researchers of biology and ecology.Researchers are willing to continue to seek the answers of origination and evolution of life.If we could adopt some measures to save endangered animals,it will be helpful for scientists to discover the myths of the origination and evolution of life on the earth.
The third argument is appealing to self-protection.First,animal kingdoms is a complicated matrix of independent relationships ,in which each species depends on many other species for its own survival.Severing some certain relationship,such as preys and predators,might set into a motion of extinctions that may ultimately endanger ourselves.Additionally,biodiversity provides some ecosystem services that are often invisible.It plays a vital role in regulation the chemistry of our atmosphere,pollination crops and generating water supplies.Biodiversity involves directly recycling nutrients and providing fertile soils.Thus,to protect endangered animals is to protect humans.
On the other hand,the speaker? claim is not feasible.This claim rests on an unreasonable assumption that we humans have the capacity to distinguish which kinds of extinctions are results of human behaviours and which are not.The development of technology not only improve our life,but amplify our power to intervene and destruct the nature,such as the adverse effects of nuclear catastrophes on species and environments.Under many circumstances,we humans,a part of biological chain,do not realise that our behaviours have damaged the surroundings a lot.Thus,we have no explicit standard to discern the potential extinctions of which animals are caused by humans.
Moreover,there are two shortcomings in the speaker? claim.First,many species become extinct due to anthropogenic factors,nevertheless,we take a blind eye to that with an indifferent innocence.Additionally,granted that some extinctions are due to natural forces,however,if humans do not take any measures,such extinctions may finally endanger humans' own survival.
In sum,even though some potential extinctions of species are results of natural selections rather than anthropogenic factors.However,we human should still strive for saving endangered animals in view of our redemption and responsibility,the value of these species and our own survival.
