Causes of Endangered and Extinct Animals By Leah

Some of the causes of extinction and endangering animals are habitat loss (deforestation), overfishing, pollution, and illegal trade. Humans cause many of these problems and we need to find a way to stop it. Visit the WWF site to learn about these problems in more detail.

Pollution

Diet

• low birth rate.

• Their diet is 99% bamboo.
• Sometimes they eat grass
• meat from birds.

• Pollution causes muddy landscapes, poisons soils and waterways, and kills plants and animals

WWF is an organization

that helps wildlife.

They have over 5 million

supporters worldwide

• Pollution causes greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming

Deforestation

• Humans have cut down 17% of the Amazon rain forest in 50 years

• Every minute, the amount of forests getting cut down is the size of 36 football fields

• Around 80% of the world's documented species can be found in tropical rainforests, some of which are defenseless against deforestation

• 137 species of animals are becoming extinct every day because of deforestation

Overfishing

Thank You for Watching This Presentation!!!

• Only 1.6% of the worlds oceans are MPA's (marine protected areas) and 90% of the MPA's are open to fishing

• Many fishing fleets catch more than two and a half times more than what we need to feed us

• Overfishing is caused when people catch more fish then nature can replace at once

• More than 85% of the worlds fisheries have been pushed beyond their biological limits

Ganges River Dolphin

Habitat

How many are left?

• There are about 2,00 left.

• rivers in India
• Bangladesh
• Nepal
