Many endemic species are very interesting, when you consider the way they evolved and their uniqueness over other species. That said, it's true and sad that many species - both endemic and common in many habitats - are currently endangered, mostly due to human activity, that doesn't always have to take place in that exact location.
I do hope people learn to act more responsibly towards their (our) environment, and leave a better place for our children.
Great post, I'll be following to see what else you'll write in the future. I hope you follow back and keep in touch :-)
