1. One of the issues shown in the movie Planet in Peril is the illegal use of animals, whose species are being extinct. People all over the world are breaking the law by poaching, killing, selling, and eating animals that face extinction. An example shown in the video of this, was at the JJ Market where star turtles from Madagascar were being sold illegally. This is a big issue, because once a species is extinct, it can no longer come back. The illegal use of an endangered animal is wrong, because we need to preserve the species not sell it to people who think they are cool or interesting, and don't know how to take care of them properly. Once these animals are captured and sold, the demand for more rare and endangered species increases and pretty soon our world will be without these species who play important roles in our ecosystem. The second big issue i saw in the video was the melting of glaciers and rise in sea level due to global warming. This was taking place in Greenland which is losing several billion tons of ice because of the temperature increase. This temperature increase has also caused the population of polar bears to decrease and the amount of food to be scarce. Not only are the polar bears and the amount of food available decreasing, but so are the Carteret Islands. These islands are sinking due to the melting of ice and rise in sea level. Because they are sinking, the land available for homes and other needs is washing away. People on the island are having a hard time finding food because the coral reef which is home to many fish in the sea, is being bleached by the sun as a result of global warming. The melting of the glaciers causes a ripple effect in so many areas and impacting the lives of people and animals negatively. One of the final issues discussed in the video that i thought was of major concern was, the amount of pollution and it's affects on human and animal life. Because of things like contamination in b
