People cut trees for their income but they always forget to plant more trees.Now coming to animals. The animals r living in bad enviroment. No body care for them. Lakhs of animals are killed for food.Hunting %26amp;poaching is done on a large scale. They r also killed for their valuable body parts like horns %26amp; skin.

  • 1.Because of the rapid degradation of the environment.
    2.There is rapid deforestation which leads to a loss of habitat and food for animals. This means that the animals have no place to live and survive. As such, they become endangered.
    3.Also, some animals have been killed or poached for sport or money that their skins etc. can fetch.
    4.This also leads to animals and plants becoming endangered.
    5.Then there are rapid weather changes. When climates change, plants cannot adapt and animals migrate. This again makes them endangered.
    6.There are several other reasons. You can check websites of sancutary asia or world wildlife fund - india or wildlife trust of india for a list of endangered animals and plants. And what is being done to save them. 20% 1 Vote
