Why are scientists so concerned about endangered species today?

One of the major reasons for endangered species is habitat loss. Also, people are cutting down trees and they are polluting the lakes, rivers, ponds, and any other water you see outside. Also there has been a lot of fires and a lot of floods. Another reason is that people have been littering. People have been throwing trash on the roads and near wildlife areas. One of the major reasons for endangered species is habitat loss. The hand of man has accelerated extinction on a massive scale in the last two centuries. People traveled to islands where they had never been, bringing cats and dogs along with them. The creatures on these islands had not developed any defense against such predators. We killed others for food, thinking they were so abundant they could never be completely wiped out. But all one has to do is read the story of the passenger pigeon to see how foolish that notion was. I only pray that in the future we will learn to be better stewards of this planet and the creatures that call it home. Extinction is forever.

∙ 14y agoBecause of litter, and CO2, or smoke in the air which makes the weather in some places get warm, so that Polar Bears, etc, that are living at the North or South Poles who need cold air to survive on the ice will die if it all melts. So make sure you pick up litter and next time ride a bike or something that does not run on gas or electricity. Everyone needs to do their part to help in the world.

Differentiaate between endangered species and threatened species?
Threatened means that the animal is vulnerable to extinction and the population of the animal is declining. (ex: Certain species of whale population are being threatened.) Endangered means that the animal will soon be extinct if nothing is done about it. Some endangered animals are being bred in captivity until their numbers increase enough to be released back in the wild. (ex: Bald Eagles are an endangered species of bird. Pandas are an endangered species of bear.) Extinct means that the animal has completely died out and there aren't any left of this species. (ex: Dinosaurs are an extinct species of reptile. Dodo is an extinct bird.) Here's a visual: Threatened-------------> Endangered---------------> Extinct
