Many causes lead to animals, plants and insects being placed on the endangered species list. Thousands of mammals, reptiles, birds and other living things are in danger of extinction because of various environmental changes, diseases and humans. It is too late to save those that are already extinct, but many can be helped by reducing these negative factors.
- Global Warming
Global warming increases temperatures and causes severe climate changes. Melting ice caps devastate the natural habitat of animals, such as polar bears, dolphins and seals. Many sea creatures, such as salmon and other fish ,are sensitive to water temperature. Coral responds to the increased temperatures by releasing their own algae into the ocean which often causes the reefs to die off. Rising sea levels lead to flooding which impacts land mammals as well. The increase of droughts caused by global warming can wipe out food sources. The Pika, a small rabbit species native to the U.S., cannot adapt to rising temperatures and has already abandoned one-third of its previous habitat in search of colder temperatures.
Whalers, poachers and hunters has caused a decrease in populations of animals, such as humpback whales, chimpanzees, gorillas, snow leopards and giant pandas. Although laws have been passed to protect many animals, they continue to be threatened to be killed for their bones, skin and fur or be illegally traded aspets. Sometimes, humans introduce non-native species, leading to imbalances in the ecosystem, which is happening with jaguars. Some animals may be vulnerable to these new predators. This also creates increased competition for food sources.
Deforestation has caused habitat loss to many animal species. Deforestation can be caused by logging and mining and also natural causes, such as forest fires. Species that are native to jungles and tropical rain forest, such as orangutans and tigers, are endangered by habitat loss. Maned three-toed sloths and the slender loris are endangered solely because of deforestation. Asian elephants, giant otters and mountain zebras are all threatened by habitat loss.
Rabies in East Africa is killing Ethipoian wolves while many bird species are being devastated by Avian malaria. Koalas are being threatened by the spread of Chlamydia and AIDS. Domestic animals can also spread diseases to wild animals. Pollution from acid rain, oil spills and the dumping of toxic chemicals into the water affects many species of frogs, birds and fish. These animals, particularly frogs, are also endangered due to the use of pesticides and fertilizers that weaken their immune systems and kill their eggs.
How should pool water be treated after finding a dead frog in the pool?

Do frogs spened more time in water or on the land?
Most frogs live terrestrial, on land. Some are aquatic and never leave the water but are a minority. Most frogs lay their eggs in water but some do not and live completely terrestrial. They lay their eggs in moist environments and don't have an aquatic larval stage.
