Abstract

The topic of this paper is the fact that sea lions are endangered and they have a danger of extinction because of decline in their food resource and fishermen. Even though the sea lions are already protected under the Protection act, the sea lions’ population is still declining. There are three arguments to save sea lions. The first is to reduce commercial fisheries of salmon, which is main food resource of sea lions, and the second is that dams should be eliminated, because they are main factor of danger for both sea lions and salmon. The third is that as much as possible, people should protect their environment and save the sea lions by educating ourselves about wildlife and animals from early age.
