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! They are classified according to how endangered they are from "vulnerable" to "critically endangered" (or even "extinct in the wild". At the apex of the endangered list are species which appear on the IUNC Red List (sometimes called the Red Data list). As with plants and animals there are also several regulatory protocols and programs in places such as CITES which regulates the trade and transportation of endangered or protected species. See the related links below for lists of endangered species as well as the RED List


What does a botonist do?

A botanist studies plants, including their structure, classification, behavior, and uses. They may conduct research to better understand plant life, work in conservation to protect endangered species, or help with agricultural practices to improve crop yields. Botanists may also educate others about plants and their importance in the ecosystem.


Where genes of endangered species of plant are stored?

Genes of endangered species of plants are typically stored in seed banks, gene banks, or botanical gardens. These institutions collect, preserve, and maintain diverse genetic material to safeguard against the threat of extinction and support conservation efforts. Additionally, some research institutions and organizations may also have specialized facilities for storing genetic material of endangered plant species.


What are the pros and cons of cloning plants?

Pros of cloning plants include maintaining desirable traits, producing large quantities of identical plants quickly, and preserving rare or endangered species. However, some cons are the potential for reduced genetic diversity, vulnerability to diseases or pests affecting all cloned plants, and ethical concerns about altering natural genetic makeup.


What is embryo culture in plants?

Embryo culture in plants involves isolating and growing an immature embryo in a nutrient medium under sterile conditions. This technique is commonly used in plant breeding to rescue embryos that are difficult to germinate in natural conditions, as it allows for the production of genetically uniform plants in a short period of time. Embryo culture can also be utilized for the propagation of rare or endangered plant species.

If the endangered animal eats a endangered pland wouldn't it just die off after the plant goes extinct?

Yes they will become extinct. Not all the time... some endangered animals that eat endangered plants also eat other plants that might not be endangered... therefore they can live off another plant when to endangered plant goes extinct!!!! :)
