Lemurs Must Live

December 11, 2007

This is a persuasive problem solution essay I wrote about endangered Lemurs in Madagascar. There is also a partner animoto to go with it.

MUST PROTECT LEMURS

A family of lemurs runs away from the harsh sounds of deforestation and poaching, with the mother leading the way for her young. Because of this, the lemur’s population is decreasing and they are becoming rare all over Madagascar. Right now poachers and logging companies are slaughtering lemurs just so they can make a living. These people are killing innocent animals for their own personal gain. Is not that the kind of selfishness we try to protect our children from everyday? With your gracious help and my solutions, the lemur population could be pulled out of the smeltering pot of endangerment. For my plan to work, deforestation must be stopped, the Malagasy protocol must be enforced, and educational classes must be given.

The lemur population, which is hurt by deforestation every year, is snowballing down the slope of extinction. To stop this from happening, first the government needs to set aside some land for farming and commercial logging. Then, they need to put into action policies saying that for every one tree you cut down, three new trees need to be planted. Finally, these policies need to be strictly enforced. When this gets put into place, many lives will be saved. They will because the logging companies and farmers won’t be on the lemur’s land; they will be in their designated areas. Furthermore, destroying the habitats of lemurs is just like destroying the homes of humans. It needs to be unacceptable to destroy habitats, just as it is to destroy houses. By stopping this destruction of habitats, the lemurs will have a place to live and reproduce. Therefore the population will rise, establishing the long life of the lemur population. Though this solves some of the equation, we will need to do more and enforce the Malagasy protocol.

The Malagasy protocol needs to be enforced to ensure the long life of the lemur population. First, the public needs to be informed on what the Malagasy protocol states. Then, the Malagasy authorities need to be on the look out for any wrong doings. Finally, there needs to be strict and direct punishment to all poachers. The Malagasy authorities have already cracked down on all airports, making sure no animals get exported. This is assured by increased searches of baggage and travelers. This is a giant leap in the monumental staircase that is righteousness. By cracking down, many poachers will be arrested and others will be too fearful of the government to continue in the business. This will slow down and eventually stop poaching. Although the majority of the work is done, there is still one more final step that will make all the pieces fall into place.

Educational classes, which are being given by the World Wildlife Fund, need to be continued to persuade people in the right direction. First, the mass population needs to be told when and where the classes will take place. Then, the public needs to be persuaded on why they should come to the classes. Finally, while in the classes, you should hit the key points of why the people of Madagascar should not poach and cut down trees. As a result, the population of Madagascar will have a newfound kindness towards lemurs. This new attitude could ring the bell of existence for the lemur population. If told the benefits, surely people will stop poaching and cutting down trees. This will influence the population of Madagascar to help the lemur’s fight for survival.

Therefore, we should stop deforestation, enforce the Malagasy protocol, and provide educational classes. The lemur population is in dire need of your help. In a way, their hand is slipping off of the branch of life. If you do not help, their hand will slip and the lemur population will fall into the never ending hole of extinction. By giving educational classes, we could stop this from happening and ring the bell of life. If we ring the bell, the lemur population could be reborn. If we ring the bell, lemurs could be brought back from the cold hard sleep that is death. If we ring the bell, people could become aware of the delicate balance of live and death. If we ring the bell!
