ENDANGERED

SPECIES
 WHAT IS THE DANGER OF EXTINCTION?
A species is considered endangered when all its living specimens are disappearing from the earth. These
can be animals or plants.
WHAT ARE THE CAUSES?

Destruction Hunting As a result of

the intervention
of human
beings

Contamination Deforestation
 SOME DANGERED SPECIES

disappears there is an imbalance in its ecosystem, causing the
death of other animals or the overpopulation of another species,
which can affect us too.
