Why Do Animals Become Endangered?

Humans are largely responsible when animals become extinct, endangered, or threatened. Here are some reasons why animals become endangered:

Destruction of Habitat

Humans destroy precious habitat--the natural environment of a living thing--when they fill swamps and marshes, dam rivers, and cut down trees to build homes, roads, and other developments.

Pollution

Oil spills, acid rain, and water pollution have been devastating for many species of fish and birds.

Hunting and Fishing

Many animals are over-hunted because their meat, fur, and other parts are very valuable.

Exotic Species

When animals or plants arrive in a new habitat from a foreign place they sometimes introduce diseases that the native species can't fight. These "exotic" species can also prey on native species.
