The preservation of natural habitats is of capital importance to the preservation of the species it holds. The preservation of wild rivers and streams are the key to avoid the salmon's extinction.
             The salmons' struggle for survival is a humongous one, and it is practically condemned to its failure, and finally, to extinction. The body of water, which is absolutely necessary for the salmon to get to its final destination, is so shallow that it is practically impossible for the salmon to swim up the stream. Instead of swimming on smooth and caressing water as nature intended, the salmon is hitting his body repeatedly against rocks as it desperately swims trying to win that race against death. As the salmon goes far more up the stream, the less water, and the more damage to its body it gets. This water provides the oxygen to the fish's breathing organs, the gill plates. It is also the vehicle for the fish to swim up to where its natural instincts indicate. The fish's body is so damaged by the collision with rocks and lack of oxygen that only a miracle would save its existence. The salmon must get to that magical place where once it was born in order for it to reproduce and create life likewise. If the salmon does not get there alive, the cycle of life is not complete. As a result, the salmon is rapidly getting extinct. The extinction of the salmon is due to the fact that man has reduced the water levels in natural rivers and streams. Population increases the more demand for drinking water to sustain the increasing number of people. Population should grow accordingly to its available resources to avoid the over exploitation of its natural resources. Most, if not all, bottled water we see in every market is obtained from wild rivers and streams. It is true that we need the water to drink and to survi
