The fate of the Caribbean Monk Seal has been sealed, for good!
The seal was last seen in 1952 in between Jamaica and Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, never to be seen again, and, only now, to be officially declared extinct.
“There is increasing loss of habitat as animals are becoming extinct, leading to huge amount of degradation and fragmentation of habitat, which needs to be stopped, and due to prey biomass many species are becoming extinct. The Caribbean Monk Seal’s extinction is of even greater disgrace as the reasons are man made and that day is not far when humans will cause a lot of species to fight for survival. These days due to Toxic Waste all the marine species are endangered. This needs to be stopped sooner than we think because due to weakening of habitat we might also have to fight for our existence,” concludes a representative from the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).
Worldwide, population of the two remaining monk seal species is declining. We hope that we have learnt from the extinction of Caribbean Monk Seals and are able to provide for the protection of the Hawaiian and Mediterranean Seals which are on the verge of extinction. With just about 1,200 odd remaining, the threat to these species is very complex. We need to save them before they become entangled and drowned in marine debris and fishing nests.
Extinctions are happening at an alarming rate and it’s a pity to see that nobody really cares as we rapidly strip the earth of creatures that took millions of years to come into existence. Until then, let peace be upon the Monk Seal.
