Pesticides threaten the survival of endangered species from "summary" of Silent Spring by Rachel Carson
The use of pesticides in our environment has brought about a silent but deadly threat to many species of wildlife. These chemicals, designed to kill unwanted pests, often end up harming not just the target species, but also innocent bystanders in the ecosystem. Endangered species, already teetering on the brink of extinction, are particularly vulnerable to the toxic effects of these chemicals. When pesticides are sprayed over vast agricultural lands, they do not discriminate between pests and beneficial insects. Pollinators like bees and butterflies, crucial for the reproduction of many plant species, are inadvertently poisoned by these chemicals. As a result, the populations of these pollinators decline rapidly, leading to a cascading effect on the entire ecosystem. Plants that rely on these pollinators for reproduction may fail to reproduce, ultimately impacting ...
