Endangered Species

Endangered species is a bad habitat to break!

Endangered species are creatures that are at risk of becoming extinct. That means they could some day disappear! That happens because they are at risk of dying out or threatened by the changing environment. Not only are animals at risk but plant life is also at risk.

In the last 150 years we have had a higher rate of extinction and we believe it could be due to the changes on earth. Not only do species become extinct or endangered for natural causes but for a number of other reasons. The primary cause is the destruction of habitat by human activities. These activities are:

  • Over expoitation of the species by hunting.
  • Over population and overbuilding which takes away their natural habitat.
  • Pollution threatens their natural habitat and food supply
  • The animal trade for illegal wildlife and for valuable items such as Ivory.

Some governments have made special laws to protect animals, such as hunting laws and building laws. They are also are making an effort to construct natural preserves for creatures to live in. Perhaps you have been to a nature preserve near you!

There are too many plants and animals on the endangered species list to list them all--check out some of these links:

Remember, every creature on earth has a role in the environment and the world in which they live. Each one is important, so we don't want to lose any!

Care and take care

MEET King Dom:

I'm king of the world
creatures big and small
short or tall
I watch out for all!

I care for their habitat
they rely on me
to keep it healthy,
safe and trouble free

I won't spare one
from the land or the sea
each one has a role
on this earth, just like me!
