Endangered Species
When an animal’s habitat or living space, is destroyed by humans, the animal can become an endangered species Endangered species are kinds of animals that could face extinction (all members of their species dying out) if something is not done to change the way that humans are interacting with them As human
populations increase, more and more space is needed for people Construction projects are pushing animals out of areas where generations of their ancestors have lived the whole lives
Forest and swamp habitats are especially threatened Trees are cut down for home and business construction projects, and swamps are filled in so that
neighbourhoods can expand as the number of people continues to increase in certain areas
To prevent tne extinction of animals because of their loss of habitat, humans have
to become more conscious of animals’ populations when considering building and expansion projects Even if a different option may not be as convenient as using the land occupied by animals, but the survival of the animals need to be taken into consideration, too Better planning and an awareness of how human actions affect animals populations can go a long way toward making sure a diverse animal population will be here for future generations to enjoy
