Endangered wildlifedue to a combination of factors, including habitat destruction, poaching, illegal trade, pollution, and climate change.
Main causes:
- Habitat destruction:Due to resource exploitation, urbanization, infrastructure construction, and climate change.
- Poaching:Hunting for food, medicine, jewelry, or for commercial purposes.
- Illegal trade:Illegal wildlife trade can endanger human lives and disrupt biodiversity.
- Polluted:Environmental pollution (water, soil, air) also harms wildlife.
- Climate change:Changes in temperature and weather patterns can upset ecosystem balance and endanger many species.
Consequences of wildlife extinction:
- Reduced biodiversity:Loss of wildlife reduces biodiversity and causes ecological imbalance.
- Impact on natural cycles:Wild animals play an important role in regulating the environment and maintaining ecological balance.
- Risk of ecological imbalance:The loss of one species can cause a domino effect, affecting other species in the ecosystem.
- Extinction risk of other species:The loss of one animal species can increase the risk of extinction of other species because they may lose their food source or habitat.
