Many species are under the threat of extinction because of human activities. Hunters have
always killed animals for their ivory,oil and skins. Others have been killed because they attack
the farmer’s animals.So,the total animal’s number has been declined.
Farmers and industrialists in South America like Brazil have cut down a large section of
Amazon forests and build many factories and houses. As a result, birds and animals have lost
their habitat.
People have polluted the oceans. They have thrown chemical products and oil into seas.
So,aquatic species have been died.
That’s why governments have decided to establish special parks and zoos to save these
species from danger and live in security.
