 THREATS TO OUR HERITAGE
Our Heritage can easily be endangered. Endangered meaning that something is under threat and
in danger of becoming extinct or totally destroyed.

Examples include:- endangered species, fauna and flora. All of these are threatened by human
activities such as; growing cities that threaten the habitants or existence of our flora(plants) and
fauna(animals).

N.B:- The Environmental Management Authority (EMA) for Trinidad and Tobago is responsible
for creating policies to look after the natural resources of our nation for future generations.

setting up measures to make sure that they are protected.
