    An endangered species is an organism threatened with extinction. Species become endangered due to habitat loss and loss of genetic variation. WWF works to protect endangered species by cracking down on wildlife crime, tracking rhinos, and setting up hotlines to stop poachers. Habitat loss is the primary cause of species endangerment, while other causes include habitat changes, overexploitation, invasive species, pollution, and disease. To save endangered species, people should avoid harmful products and pesticides, volunteer at wildlife centers, drive carefully, support accredited zoos and aquariums, reduce consumption and pollution, and donate to wildlife organizations.

    ENDANGERED BY SAI SWANANTHRA

    ANIMALS
    WHAT ARE ENDANGERED SPECIES?

    An endangered species is a type of


    organism that is threatened by extinction.
    Species become endangered for two main
    reasons: loss of habitat and loss of genetic
    variation. A loss of habitat can happen
    naturally. Dinosaurs, for instance, lost their
    habitat about 65 million years ago.
    HOW IS WWF TRYING TO PROTECT THESE
    SPECIES?

    WWF works to help governments and


    authorities crack down on wildlife crime. We
    set up training for law enforcement, track
    rhino movements via transmitters and set up
    hotlines.all to help stop poachers and build a
    future in which the rhino can thrive.From
    elephants to polar bears, WWF fights to secure a
    future for animals on the planet we all share. WWF
    helped bring back the Amur tiger and Africa’s black
    rhinos from the edge of extinction. THEY GIVE
    isolated, dwindling populations of black footed
    ferrets and river dolphins a second chance.
    WHAT IS THE REASON FOR THEM TO BE
    ENDANGERED?

    Habitat loss is the primary cause of higher extinction rates. Other


    causes include habitat changes, over-exploitation of wildlife for
    commercial purposes, the introduction of harmful nonnative
    species, pollution, and the spread of diseases.These experts
    calculate that between 0.01 and 0.1% of all species will become
    extinct each year. If the low estimate of the number of species out
    there is true - i.e. that there are around 2 million different species
    on our planet** - then that means between 200 and 2,000
    extinctions occur every year.

    why are endangered animals important
    Healthy ecosystems depend on plant and animal species as their
    foundations. When a species becomes endangered, it is a sign that the
    ecosystem is slowly falling apart. Each species that is lost triggers the
    loss of other species within its ecosystem. Humans depend on healthy
    ecosystems to purify our environment.Why we protect wildlife. Animals
    and plants aren't just valuable for their own sake – they're also part of a
    wider natural environment that may provide food, shelter, water, and
    other functions, for other wildlife and people.
