Mass extinction in Vastallos

Vastallos has just entered a mass extinction event. It is believed that forest degradation and fragmentation, hunting and little efforts of preservation are the main cause of most extinctions, such as Mountain snow-fowl and the Fruilan bat. The vast majority of animals in Vastallos are highly threatened, and the situation is only getting worse. If current trends continue, we might lose all our endemic species as soon as december 2021.

Causes
The main causes are believed to be habitat destruction (fragmentation and degradation), poaching, starvation, and invasive species. Little efforts of preservation are probably also a cause

Solutions
What we have done is irreversible and little can be done, but one prominent solution is breeding and releasing animals back into the wild into protected areas where they would be protected from any outside harm. Each biome in Vastallos is incredibly rich in biodiversity so having a protected area in each biome present in Vastallos would be ideal
