As I conclude we notice that animals are extinct due to a combination of factors including habitat loss, climate change pollution. Human activities contribute to this extinction crisis.
- HABITAT LOSS- the destruction of environment is essential of their survival are the primary drivers of most species’ extinction e.g. complete removal of habitat clearing forest.
- CLIMATE CHANGE- habitat and food sources make species survival difficult by ecologically adapted species. This includes the rising temperature, unpredictable rains and severe droughts.
- ILLEGAL HUNTING- illegal hunting, fishing and trade reduces the number of species.
- POLLUTION- pollutants such as pesticides and plastics negative impact wildlife.
Animals go extinct when they can no longer survive or reproduce fast enough to maintain their population.
The single biggest reason species go extinct in the modern era is the destruction and fragmentation of their habitat.
The other main possible cause of extinction is overexploitation that refers to the overuse of natural resources, such as fish or forests which can lead to depletion of species and the destruction of habitat.
