.An endangered species is a type of organism that is threatened by extinction. Species become endangered for two main reasons: loss of habitat and loss of genetic variation. A loss of habitat can happen naturally.

Species are becoming endangered due to the loss of habitat and human activities.
- Species become extinct when they die, when there is a genetic variation or when the humans intervene.
- There are various reasons for the species becoming extinct -
- Extinction is normal to some degree. Habitat shifts and poor reproductive patterns can cause the death rate of a species higher than its birth rate for a long enough period that none is ultimately left.
- By hunting, overharvesting, introducing invasive species to the wild, polluting, and shifting wetlands and woods to croplands and urban areas, humans often cause other species to become extinct.
- For several species of fish and wildlife, oil spills, acid rain, and water contamination have been catastrophic.
- Because their meat, fur, and other parts are critically important, many animals are over-hunted.
- By ruining natural ecosystems, even the exponential growth of the human population causes extinction.
