Endangered Species
How can we as a society stop animals from becoming extinct?
We can stop it by not hunting animals and stop forest destruction.

Reading on this website gave me good information on how endangered life started
millions of years ago and what the causes of it was. Many think it was from a catastrophic event
like an asteroid. But some think it may have been from habitat destruction. It tells me when
extinction started to rapidly increase because of human destruction. Scientist say that these
species are no longer in existence because of climate change and had trouble adapting to new
conditions. This site also gives information on how many species scientist think are on this earth
but there is no exact answer. Lastly, I picked one of these sources because it tells me the animals
that are endangered, where they are located at and i think that is very helpful to my topic.

This source Endangered Species was very helpful to me. It also gave me information
on the causes of endangered species. Humans are a major reason for extinction. One of the main
reasons was hunting. But hunting has become less of a factor since the government has imposed
strict control on it. Another factor is diseases. One other major factor is greed and ignorance. A

lot of people kill animals to use them to make fur coats or to make medicine. Many believe that
some animals are a nuisance so they shoot them and try to get rid of them. The united states has
many preservation acts to try and stop from animals from becoming extinct. So they give him a
home where they are protected.

This Source was very helpful to me because it tells and gives us information on how
people can help protect these endangered species. The biggest way we can prevent extinction is
by stopping destruction to their homes and keeping them safe. You can also donate money to any
conservation program that benefit to these animals. pollution and other negative environmental
threats are another reason why some wildlife is rapidly decreasing. One of the main things
someone can do is adopt an animal. You can choose any endangered animal. By doing this, you
can help defend an endangered specie one animal at a time. You can help defend wildlife and
learn more about these programs and have a better understanding of these animals lives.
