1. Extimction of a particular animal or
plant species occurs when there are no
more individuals of that species alive
anywhere in the world - the species
has died out. This is a natural part of
evolution.
Endangered means for a species to be
at risk of becoming extinct from
Earth meaning the species population
has dropped so low that it is at risk
of becoming extinct in the wild.

3. Habitat Loss
Deforestation and urbanization combine to create two
reasons why plants and animals become extinct.
Deforestation is leveling forests to harvest the wood or
create space for building or agriculture, while urbanization
is the turning of once-rural areas into cities. As the human
population grows, more and more land has to be cleared
and urbanized for living space.
Global Warming
Global warming is the ongoing increase in the Earth's
atmospheric and ocean temperatures created by the
greenhouse effect; a temperature increase of even 1
degree can affect plant and animal life.

4. Exotic Species Introduction
When animals and plants that are not native to a region are
introduced to the ecosystem, they can cause serious damage to
the local plants and animals, and potentially contribute to their
extinction. Native species must compete with the exotic species
for basic needs such as food and water. If the exotic species is
more aggressive than the native species, the native species
then runs the risk of extinction.
Overexploitation
Overexploitation, also called overharvesting, is
the excessive harvesting of an animal or plant
species, making it harder for the species to
renew its numbers.

6. We should educate people from the young age about the
importance of plants and animals in maintaining the ecosystem and
biodiversity. Young people should be educated how to protect our
environment in general and how to protect endangered animals in
particular. They should be told about the things that threat the
safety of wildlife so that they can avoid doing them. This should be
included in their curriculum at school.
One of the most important ways to help threatened plants and animals
survive is to protect their habitats permanently in national parks, nature
reserves or wilderness areas. There they can live without too much
interference from humans. It is also important to protect habitats outside
reserves such as on farms and along roadsides.
Each nation must enforce stricter law with more serious punishment-
capital punishment, for example- to prevent people from poaching rare
and valuable animals.

7.  Plant trees. Thiswill help create homes
for animals. Planting trees can also help
curbthe impacts of climate change – one
of the major driversof biodiversity loss.
 Saveon energy.
 Saveon paper.
 Saveon fuel.
 Learn more about biodiversity and share it
with yourfamily, friends, and colleagues.
 Donot patronize wildlife products(fur,
tusks, hooves,etc).
 Recycleand re-use. Better yet, spearhead
a recycling drive.
 Turnoff the lightsin an empty room.
 Stopusingplastic bags.

8. Biodiversity is the variety of life (its
ecosystems, populations, species and genes).
Saving endangered species (plants and animals)
from becoming extinct and protecting their wild
places is crucial for our health and the future of our
children.
As species are lost so too are our options for future
discovery and advancement. The impacts of
biodiversity loss include clearly into fewer new
medicines, greater vulnerability to natural disasters
and greater effects from global warming.
