ENDANGERED SPECIES
Today, some type of animals are an endangered species. This means there are very few animals of that kind left on Earth. The animals could face extinction. Extinction is when all the animals of that kind die. When a type of animal is extinct, it is gone forever.
One problem for animals is that their habitat is sometimes destroyed by humans. As human populations increase, more and more space is needed for people. Building areas for people to live pushed animals out of their natural homes. Forest and swamp habitats are the most threatened. Trees are cut down to make room for homes and businesses. Swamps are filled in so that neighborhoods can expand.
The habitat is destroyed. The animals have nowhere else to go. Without a habitat, the number of animals begins to go down.
