Clouded Leopard Declared Extinct in Taiwan

I recently read the non - fiction article, "Clouded Leopard Declared Extinct in Taiwan," by Douglas Main. It's about a new study about how the Clouded Leopards have now been declared extinct by Taiwan's Central News Agency. The only one left is stuffed in a museum. Even the United states have been looking for them in Taiwan with no results since 2001. There has also been 1,500 set up in the mountains of Taiwan with no results either.

I think it's really sad how a whole species of animal can become extinct. It shows how not enough precaution was shown the protect it. Oblivious all animals are important to keep safe, even a few numbers of them. There could have been a few taken into captivity a few years ago. That thought probably never occurred to zoologist because maybe they thought that that wouldn't be needed now. And that it wasn't necessary, then and now.

The authors purpose was the explain this new finding about the leopards extinction. I think it's a really interesting and sad topic. But his article was informative and wasn't bias.
