My documentary idea

For my documentary i would like to talk about animals becoming extinct. i want to talk about this because i think its important for people of all ages to be able to understand the situation that's going in our world. we would talk about the increase of global warming which is also killing the animals which means the more global warming the less animals we will have living on our planet. We would also talk about people could help to try and stop this from happening. This is because of humans, also the alarming rate of animals are becoming extinct everyday. At this rate, more than half the world of our species will be extinct in 100 years. This is because of habitat destruction, climate change, pollution and invasive species.
