Mammals facing extinction threat

Within our lifetime, hundreds of species could be lost as a result of our own actions.
/Julia Marton-Lefevre, ICUN/

If hundreds of species dies now than probably the same will happen to human beings, mammals as well, in about 100 years. Are we killing ourself?
There is already a group of mammals that are at a great risk. The biggest group is located in South America where cutting forests is a main reason of threat. Also loss of habitat, ecosystem causes the death of many population of mammals. But the biggest risk of mammals lost is in Asia: Japan, China where people kill them because it's part of thair tradition and meat is used for a special cuisine that they are famous for.
If people will not find immediate solution, humans, the closest relavites of the species, are going to be affected in the whole world as well. People think that the recent economical crisis is more important but in real that is nothing compared with the environmental crisis.
It depends so much on us and esp.the politicians who we choose not only to take of our financial matter but the most important of our life and the environment we live in.
