Answer:
The logical explanation for them being endangered is because we are cutting down trees and killing them to build houses and buildings
Answer:
Some plants become endangered because of climatic changes. As an example the cloud forests in the Andes are moving up higher on the slopes as the climate gets warmer, at some height they will run out of mountain to grow on and disappear. In a similar fashion the warming of the arctic is changing the plants growing in the Canadian Arctic. Historically at the start of the the little ice age in Europe, arounf 1400 or so, the vineyards of northern England died.
The changing climate and the introduction of foreign species of insects and other animals can also impact the growth of plants in an area. Many plants and insects have developed an almost symbiotic (they depend on each other) life pattern. One dies, so does the other.
Human intervention (draining swamps, irrigation) can also significantly alter the types of plants growing in an area

Which plants are endangered?
There are currently 2655 endangered plant species on earth, this does not however, take into account species that have not yet been classified and may be under threat without us even knowing of their existence!

What percent of the Earth's plant and animal species have not discovered by the scientists?
since they are not yet discovered, there is no exact percentage of plants and animals, There is an enormously large number of endangered species living in tropical rain forests, and most of these have not yet been "discovered" by scientists. Because rain forests are quickly being converted to farmland and human settlements, many of these species are becoming extinct before humans know anything about them. (it said endangered species how about the none, can you imagine how many are they) this is the other one: Because most of Earth's biodiversity (the number of species in a given habitat) is not yet discovered and cataloged, it is likely that there are perhaps several million endangered species on Earth. thanks to this site: http://www.scienceclarified.com/El-Ex/Endangered-Species.html
Can plants be extinct?
Some may be in the wrong environment, so they don't get what they need and die out, unable to (usually) produce seeds. Plants normally go extinct (or become endangered) due to natural changes of climate or geography (droughts, volcanic erruptions); or by the intervention of man - normally poor agricultural practices, over farming or logging
