Our beautiful earth is blessed with rich varieties of flora and fauna. Nature preserves all these herbs and animal family. They all live in hand to hand. They are all part of the food chain. It is the law of nature that preserves the existence of all plants and animals in the earth. Violation of these laws can create problems in their existence. Do you know what is an endangered animal or plant? These are things that are on the verge of extinct. They will disappear from the earth surface in the near future. What is an endangered animal? Simple meaning of the phrase endangered is that a few numbers of that species are present on earth today.
Large numbers of species have disappeared from the earth’s surface due to human activities. Some of the existing species are on the verge of extinction. Polar bears and bow-head whales found in Alaska are no more in this earth. Likewise, brown bears that are seen in the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska in large numbers have shirked to countable value.
Human activities play a major role in the extinction of animal and plant variety. Human wandering in search of rich natural resources and place for dwelling destroys the habitat of animals. Deforestation and cutting down of trees destroys habitat of birds. This cause decreases the number of certain species of animals. This can cause imbalance in the food chain. This in turn affects other animals which feed on them. Thereby, they face the pace of extinction. It is a chain process. This can cause extinction of many species. While looking on to the basics, we can see that the reason lies behind us. Controlling human activities is the only way to save nature and animals.
In saving endangered species, humans have to create parks and sanctuaries for keeping endangered species. This will help to prevent the extinction of species. Moreover, government should declare animals as endangered and should create law for protecting them. By all these means, we can save the extinction of several animals and plants.
